Delicious Sunday lunch. Service was very good.

lovely meal everything was really nice

Had a family pre wedding meal on Friday 12th September 2025 and found the food to be of excellent quality and good portion size.All food was pre ordered and all our dishes arrived hot and very well presented.They only small complaint was that the two risotto dishes were a little over salted,but not a real problem. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

We eat regularly at the Hopping Hare and always go back as the food is so good. Yesterday's meal was superb - I had the rump steak from the specials menu and it was a very succulent and perfectly cooked. I think the prices are very reasonable given the quality. I always find the staff friendly and attentive. Five stars.

Our group was large (13) and was a surprise birthday meal for my husband with family of all ages attending. I can’t praise the Hopping Hare enough for their wonderful service, all food got served at the same time on hot plates with impeccable waitress service. The food was outstanding and my family amazed at the way we were treated. I can’t thank them enough

Excellent service and excellent food, well worth a visit.

Excellent food with good service

Excellent food and service in very pleasant surroundings.

The afternoon tea was amazing, Quality, Quantity and taste was outstanding. Lovely environment and the staff was very pleasant

It’s was our first visit to the Hopping Hare. We went to ‘Check it out’ for a birthday celebration. Our meal was booked for 3pm. (Sunday) The food was very good, unfortunately the Yorkshire puddings were burnt. The service very good. Our waitresses very pleasant, smiling and chatty. Our table for 2 was up against a dark wall, along with other tables for 2. We felt ‘out of the way. The rest of the tables for 4 were in a much nicer part of the restaurant. Light and airy, surrounded by the front windows, a much lighter, pleasanter area. When we made enquiries about our celebration meal, especially where we and our guests would be seated, we were taken to an area at the back of the restaurant. Quite basic, no atmosphere. We were given 2 times to have our celebration meal. 12 o’clock or 3pm. Neither were suitable for us as we had guests travelling. I would visit again but would prefer to be seated in another area.

A fabulous lunch; really great food and very good value for money. The staff were excellent - although they were a little understaffed the day we were there which meant a long wait at the bar - but the staff themselves were helpful, pleasant and cheerful (particularly considering they were obviously under pressure given they were stretched).

Had a wonderful experience dining here. Its a lovely environment with great service and the food was excellent.

We had a wonderful lunch. Free parking, wonderful choice of options on menu’s and even a gluten free menu & gluten free beer for my husband. The service, presentation, and most importantly taste 10/10. We will definitely go back if in the area

We stayed for one night. From the moment we stepped through the door we were greeted by very friendly staff who were so helpful. We had an evening meal which was amazing food and standard for the price. The service by the staff was excellent, with a nice warm friendly atmosphere. All the staff clearly work very hard to make your stay and experience an exceptional one. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay and experience fantastic one.

Once again delicious meal served by lovely staff. Never had a bad experience at The Hopping Hare.

The food is always exceptional whenever I visit The Hopping Hare. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend The Hopping Hare in Northampton.

Excellent, 5 Stars
