About Hare and Hounds Pub in Tingley

On Batley Rd in Tingley, the Hare and Hounds Pub serves drinks alongside a large beer garden set up with a heated marquee, where a menu of pizza and meal-in-a-box is served. Inside, plated meals are brought to the table by staff. A Sunday Roast runs with large portions, and pie night brings pies served in gravy. Timothy Taylor's is usually on cask. Live music plays on weekends, and big screens go up for match days. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub and garden.

Customer Review Summary

The beer garden draws the most consistent praise, described by reviewers as spacious, stunning, and one of the best around, with a heated marquee and dome house adding to the setting on quieter or colder visits. Close behind, food comes up repeatedly and favorably, with the Sunday Roast singled out as delicious and generously portioned, pie night praised for proper pies and standout gravy, and other diners naming lasagne, a juicy burger, and cask Timothy Taylor's ale. Staff and front of house are repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, including one account where a lost booking was smoothed over with complimentary drinks. Live music and a lively, cozy atmosphere also get regular mentions. One reviewer's main complaint was overheating indoors during a busy period, with no air conditioning and only small top windows for ventilation, plus a wine glass served with visible residue. That same visit ended with the group relocating to the garden for comfort, echoing the wider preference reviewers voice for eating outside when the pub gets full.

    “November 2025 First time at Hare and Hounds and we had the most wonderful time. Booked a table a month ago for their Sunday Roast but when we arrived this evening there was no record of our booking. All of the staff were very apologetic and went above and beyond to accommodate us elsewhere within the pub. There's a lovely homely atmosphere about the place and you can tell there's a nice mix of locals and newbies too. The Sunday Roast was delicious and the portion size was huge. After our meal we sat outside in the garden dome house which felt very festive and cosy with the pretty fairy lights. To further apologise for the mix up we were offered complimentary drinks whilst we sat out in the dome. Live music was playing inside which was also very pleasant. This pub isn't local to us but we would definitely visit if we were in the area again and can highly recommend. Thank you to Joanne and team for a wonderful evening 🙂”

    “We had our wedding celebration here on 26.06.2026 and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From the first enquiry right through to the end of the party, all the staff were fantastic and made everything run smoothly. The food was great, the beer garden is one of the best around, and the whole place had exactly the atmosphere we wanted for celebrating with family and friends. It’s our local and we’ve always enjoyed coming here, but this really reminded us why we love it so much. We even came back the next day to collect the car and couldn’t help staying for lunch! A perfect place for a special occasion or just a pint in the garden. Thanks again to everyone involved - we’d happily recommend it to anyone.”

    “I only came here for a drink, as I have always wanted to visit this place because it looks so beautiful from the outside. I was really surprised by how busy and big the garden area is, as it looks small from outside. The atmosphere is great, with music and pleasant people, etc. I haven't tried the food here yet, but I definitely will, as it looks delicious and smells amazing. I will definitely visit again, as I think this will be my favorite pub to go to from now on.”

    “Went for pie night and honestly… I’m still thinking about it. Proper pies. Not those disappointing “lid on top of stew” situations that feel like a betrayal. These were the kind that make you pause mid bite congratulate yourself on this bring a good life choice. Great choice, all cooked well, and portions that don’t leave you eyeing up the nearest chippy on the way home. The gravy deserves a mention on its own!!! Atmosphere was spot on too. Busy but not chaotic, good vibe, and staff were wonderful. If you like pies (and if you don’t, I question your judgement), it’s well worth it. Will absolutely be back. Edit: added more pie pics coz why not?! Different visit and another great experience with beautiful food.”
