  “The food is so good - met the chef who said everything from the burger buns to the hot sauce was made in house! I had the pork belly a the carrot and swede mash was absolutely delicious. The deserts are mostly gluten and dairy free - the cheesecake a must have!”

  “The burger was dry, overcooked, lacked squidge, with the lower half of the bun as thick as we two punters felt after paying £18 for it — daylight robbery. The small and forgettable caesar salad left us in no doubt that the grub in this place has a long way to go to catch with the quality of service (great!) and the atmosphere. We will not eat there again and had we not been rushing to a theatre show, we would have sent the food back.”

  “We visited this pub as a private hire for my friend’s engagement and it was incredible! The staff were so friendly, the drinks were flowing and we had the most incredible time. The drinks were strong and very delicious. A special shoutout to Steven, Preace, James and Rob for making the night so excellent.”

  “We booked the top floor of the Hare and Hounds for a 30th birthday party and it was a brilliant venue. The pub is beautiful throughout and it was perfect for a party that you want to feel special. There is a fairly high minimum spend, but we felt that this was a fair price for a very nice venue with our own barman. Victoria was so helpful and quick to respond throughout the booking process and lead-up and Stephen was absolutely fantastic on the bar on the night. Thank you so much for making it such a good do!”

  “Really disappointing experience. We came for the Sunday roast and ordered two courses each. The starters were fine, but very small and not particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the mains were extremely poor. The beef was chewy and difficult to eat. On the vegetarian meal, the “roast potatoes” were clearly not roasted at all, more like undercooked boiled potatoes lightly fried in oil. The greens were undercooked, and the vegetables were shockingly sparse: half a carrot, half a parsnip, and a tablespoonful of swede mash and cabbage, both served cold. For two people, with three drinks and one extra side, the bill came to £140, which made the whole experience even harder to justify. At that price point, we expected properly cooked food, generous portions, and a meal worth returning for. To add to the disappointment, the photos shown on their page are misleading and do not reflect where most diners will actually be seated. The images show the upstairs private dining areas rather than the standard dining space. The staff were pleasant and polite, but sadly that was the only positive part of the visit. Overall, very poor value for money and not a satisfying meal.”

  “Great roasts - managed to get a last second table for 6. Went for the full three courses, had the fish cake, the roast beef, and the rhubarb mess. Fish cake was excellent, light and flavourful, good balance of fish and sauce. Would definitely have again. The beef roast was also good, although at times I was distracted by how good the carrot was. Which isn’t to say the rest wasn’t good, but if the beef was a top 10 beef roast I’ve had, the carrot would be a top 3 carrot. Had the cauliflower cheese as a side which was good, enough bite on the cauliflower with a great cheese sauce. Had the rhubarb mess for dessert, which was a bit cream heavy - would have liked more meringue and rhubarb, and they were a bit lost against the cream. Good wine selection as well.”

  “Absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch at The Hare & Hounds N1! It was an Arsenal match day and everything was busy but luckily for us the Hare and Hounds had a table! We started with the crab & sweetcorn chowder - creamy, packed with fresh crab and sweet corn, perfectly garnished with greens and served with homemade crusty bread. The roasted pork belly main was next level: crispy crackling, tender meat, spot-on glazing with veg sides that tied it all together. Finished with the salted caramel tart - rich chocolate base, smooth caramel, fluffy cream, and that sea salt kick for balance. ​ Service was warm and attentive throughout, making us feel right at home. The pub's cozy atmosphere, with its inviting vibe, made it the perfect spot for a relaxed roast. Highly recommend – we'll be back soon!”

  “We hosted my partner's birthday in the top floor private room and had an amazing time. It has its own bar, an amazing team and a fantastic location. The team was incredibly helpful and accommodating on all of my requests. A great experience from start to finish.”

  “Came for Sunday roast, and we enjoyed both veggie and beef roasts as well as the sticky toffee pudding (appetisers were okay). Sadly, the service was a complete miss for us - each course took ~45 mins, the staff seemed clueless when we asked anything, and the manager was very rude and asked us to hurry up when we were the ones who were waiting for the food! When we informed him of the situation, he got more aggressive until we had to ask another member of the staff to speak with him. Looks like it may be a new-ish spot so hopefully the service issues are growing pains and improves, especially as the food is quite yummy.”

  “Stopped here on route to a restaurant for drinks. Nice looking pub from the outside and super smart inside. Very friendly staff who recommended a nice bottle of French Rose wine. Not too busy but a nice friendly atmosphere 😁 Didn’t eat but looked at menu which seemed very good. Seating inside and outside 😁 Didn’t stay long but enjoyed our short stay 😁 Great place for a relaxing drink and recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿”
