Reviews in Northampton

Went for a family meal for Fathers Day. Prompt service. Food very good. Staff very polite and friendly. Feel drinks were a little pricey!

Absolutely delicious as usual! We has Sunday Roast on father's day and it was so yummy, melt in your mouth beef, cauliflower cheese, braised red cabbage, spring greens, carrots, roast potatoes and of course a rather large Yorkshire pudding. This is our favourite place, where we had our wedding reception in 2022 - and as usual the food and service was 10/10!

First rate in every way - a special birthday lunch with our daughter. What a delicious meal we had; the food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious ( mains and puddings both fantastic). From the welcome to all aspects of service, this was an exceptional and a very enjoyable experience.

On Tuesday the 11 June my younger Brother was on holiday with the family from Australia and as a celebration and last meal with him before he was flying back to Sydney 6 of us had lunch at The Hopping Hare. It was the finest and happiest experience of good food that any of us had enjoyed in years. All of our meals and desserts were of Michelin Star quality, beautifully cooked, presented and delivered to our table by Sabrina, our waitress. None of us could fault the Hopping Hare in any way and that lunch will stay in our memories for a very long time. Thank you for a truly great couple of hours, Libby Adams.

Fab lunch and to die for cocktails, welcoming and lovely staff

Excellent food and service

Top restaurant in Northampton.

Our favourite restaurant! Food always delicious and staff are lovely

What a fantastic place! I was very impressed with the level of service from the staff; nothing was too much trouble, very professional and also personable. The food was top notch and very well presented. A great atmosphere and I would thoroughly recommend.

Just looking for a Sunday lunch and google suggests the “Hopping Hare”. Entered a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere, greeted warmly and seated promptly. Staff were very welcoming and polite. Opted for the roast beef Sunday lunch. The beef, which could be cut with a wooden spoon , was perfectly served along with an ample selection of veg, served with a jus, so rich and sweet the plate needed nothing more. I definitely will be dining here again. Well done Hopping Hare !!!

Well what a treat :service was top draw the gentleman who showed us to our table was brilliant attentive in every aspect: nothing too much trouble: now on to the food 3 of us had the roast beef Sunday dinner :wow was absolutely lovely all 3 of us said how lovely it was :I had the sea bass which was nice but for £21 and only 1 small piece that was disappointing. But can honestly say we enjoyed the meal the ambience and wonderful service

Family lunch for mums 83rd birthday. Amazing food, fantastic staff , couldn’t fault from booking to payment. Will be booking again soon. Thank you

We had a very special Calibration of a friends life --many thanks to the Chef for outstanding food and to Rosie and her team for awesome service--a wonderful event

Great food, great service, will definitely return again.

Booked Sunday lunch for my dad’s 80th birthday. Excellent food and service. The staff went out of their way to make it a lovely experience. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!

Stayed here as a break of journey on the way to the Lake District. The hotel is fine but the restaurant is a standout, especially given the modest prices. Definitely a cut or two (or three!) above even very good pub food, and into genuine restaurant territory. Warm runny Scotch Egg starter exemplary. Lamb rumb main ingenious and wisely used in-season asparagus. The white chocolate eclair for dessert, however, was the absolute superstar. I will return just for this or for any similar creation! Definitely will return, probably on my very next Lake District trip this or next year. Oh, some pretty impressive bottles too, also at reasonable prices, on the wine list. I had a very satisfactory Chianti indeed. Service both friendly and swift. It's a fairly standard - though pleasant - dining space, but the atmosphere, no doubt influenced by a proportion of local fans, was quietly buzzy even on a Tuesday evening. I would be pleased to find a restaurant this good in London where I live, and I'm sure I would be paying considerably more for the privilege.

What a super place. Intelligent staff with proper menu and wine knowledge. Lovely main and desert food. Thank you so much. Return visit.

Went for a meal with a couple of friends and as always the food was amazing. Would always recommend The Hopping Hare and the food is always on par.
