“Superb relaxing atmosphere with a lovely warm welcome. The food ain't half bad either. You just know it is all locally sourced and it is so well presented. Luxury eating at an affordable price. If you haven't already done so, then you've got to give it a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.”

“The menu is fantastic. Very good choice. The staff couldn't do enough for us, starters were amazing, my wife had the mackerel and said it was the best starter she'd ever had. The duo of venison was simply amazing. I'll be back very soon. Thank you.”

“I don't often use the word "outstanding" but the food here really was just that. I had no idea the Hopping Hare had 2 rosettes when I booked but I fully understand why it has. It was just fabulous.”

A special place for excellent food and service

“We had 3 courses since they had a nice cheese board for me. The service was excellent as well. The lady who served us was really kind and friendly and even dropped a blind for me when the sun was in my eyes. It was also the 1st time I've found a zero alcohol lager on tap so ideal for me as the driver. I have no hesitation in recommending the Hopping Hare. We will definitely be back when we want to treat ourselves again.”

Celebrate in style

“Since we could not celebrate our golden wedding anniversary due to Covid lockdown we treated some special friends to afternoon cream tea at the Hopping Hare. Our special requests were provided completely. The white linen covered table looked exquisite. The selection of sandwiches, scones and patisseries were simply divine. All six of us were highly impressed and vow to come here again soon. Thanks to Sophie for delivering on a number of promises.”
