Reviews in Northampton

Always a pleasure to eat at Hopping Hare with the marvellous and attentive staff. My pork loin was delicious and my companion enjoyed the chicken dish - only marred by undercooked Dauphinoise potatoes which we were informed the kitchen was apologetic for. Otherwise, very pleased with speed of service, even though they had a full house on the day!

Excellent food, great staff and top quality service.

Fantastic Sunday lunch as always. Service absolutely spot on. Nice relaxed feel to the place. Party of 11, everyone happy!

Fantastic food and great service!! The quality and presentation was spot on!! If you want great food in a relaxed environment - trust me it is worth trying the Hopping Hare. We were a party of 8 and had roast sirloin, cod, pork belly and chicken. Everyone loved their food!!

Great food beautifully presented, go regularly and never had a bad meal. Friendly staff, good value

Excellent service and food. Great menu and lovely specials. Staff helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

On a recent visit to Northampton, to say goodbye to my goddaughter, we discovered the Hopping Hare. We were looking for a delicious Sunday roast and the Hopping Hare did not disappoint. Great place and would highly recommend. We had visitors from Kenya and they thoroughly enjoyed the place.

The food was amazing ! Best Sunday Lunch ever ! That was said by all the family on the table Thank you . I’ve already told 6 people !

As always lovely food great staff cannot fault in anyway

We had a table for 8 booked for late Saturday lunch, we arrived an hour early due to an event finishing early and the team were extremely accommodating also allowing us to sit outside as the sun has his hat on. Everything was faultless, food was fantastic as ever, only slight two gripes would be one of our sandwiches arrived as a wrap and as our table was outside we had to order at the bar and couldn’t have a tab, we would have happily left a card behind. Well done team hopping hare.

Booked in for an early evening meal with my wife after watching the Rugby. Just really good all round. The greeting, decor, food, service. Spot on. Just 4/5 for atmosphere as it was late afternoon / early evening, so not many people in at that time.

Delicious food from a very good menu. Husband had steak- v nice- cooked exactly as he wanted. Mother had sea trout and there was a very slight delay (not a problem) as chef wasnt happy with how it cooked, so was doing another- delicious. You really feel all the staff care and really want you to enjoy your meal.

We organised a group booking for 13 of us. It was early afternoon on a Saturday so we all went for the afternoon tea. As some of us preferred savoury over sweet the Hopping Hare very kindly produced a savoury option where the small cakes were replaced by savoury items, and it was very nice. This should become a regular part of their menu. The staff were very helpful throughout. The one complaint we all had was that the cream for the scones was so hard that it could not be spread. I also had no taste. Really disappointing as the scones and cream are the cornerstone an afternoon tea. Otherwise a lovely time was had by all. Thanks Hopping Hare.

Superb food from a great range, starters exceptionally good. Had to be fish and chips main as it was Friday. Excellent choice of wines. Friendly service lovely waitress who took photos. Best food around Northampton currently.

Excellent food and service

I can't recommend this place enough. The food is incredibly tasty and such good value. I highly recommend the pan fried chicken breast, it is to die for. I discovered the restaurant at a work event and immediately booked to return with my husband. As we aren't local, I made use of their lovely rooms too. The service is also great, the team are knowledgeable and very friendly. I wish I lived closer to go more often but I'll be returning either way.
