Reviews in Northampton

Wow! We had the loveliest experience whilst staying and dining here. We had the journey from hell and the staff were all so accommodating. We were unsure what to order, so opted for the tasting menu. Excellent excellent food, it was delicious, the plates were hot (which is a biggie for me) and the dishes all worked so perfectly. Wine was perfect, the night was perfect.

Good choice of feed excellent service and very handy for rugby !

First time visiting and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and so did the other members of the party - tasty and well presented. Service was also good - cheerful waitress and team

First visit in a long time. The dining room was clean looking and the tables were well set out but perhaps could have a little more atmosphere. The food was well presented although the accompaniments were a bit sparse. The service from one particular young lady was cheerful and friendly even though they forgot a drink we ordered - twice! It is not cheap but we will visit again another time.

Party of 14 for my wife’s birthday celebration. The staff were fantastic and so was the food. We are lucky to have this place as our local and every time we visit the standards are the same! Never a bad meal.

Good local sourced food at sensible prices. Professional staff and service.

First time at The Hopping Hare. Very clean, lovely decore. Staff friendly and tentative.

Excellent meal - exquisite food from starter to dessert and enjoyed every mouthful. The wine was fantastic and the service suitably attentive. The meal was quite expensive but worth every penny given the quality.

We had booked a table for eleven for my son’s 60th birthday, the food was delicious, the service swift and friendly. Overall a wonderful experience

Great meal, prepared and cooked with great care. The service was very professional and the restaurant was very well presented. Got to be one of the best in Northampton.

Consistently good food beautifully presented. Varied menu of home cooked meals. Nice atmosphere and good service.

Excellent Sunday lunch and great service.

Had lunch on Saturday . I had the cod Loin and my husband had the fish and chips and it was lovely as always No complaints just compliments Staff attentive! Husband had a lovely pint with lunch also

Our "go to" restaurant, we are always assured of having first class food in very comfortable surroundings, with excellent service.

Lunch for 3 on Thursday, 22 August 2024 Excellent meal, beautifully cooked and presented and served by a friendly and efficient waitress who checked, from time to time, if everything was alright. Very affordable and I look forward to returning. I would not hesitate in taking guests to The Hopping Hare and would be very comfortable in recommending it to anyone.

We stayed overnight at the hotel and decided before we arrived to eat in the restaurant. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The chicken was the tastiest I've had in a long time. It was succulent and tender and plentiful. My husband had the same and was also delighted by the quality. I had the lemon tart desert. Again it was beautifully presented and very tasty. The waitresses were excellent, attentive, efficient and friendly. The bill including 2 large glasses of wine and a Glenmorangie whisky came to £78 which we considered to be good value in a beautiful restaurant. I would highly recommend this as an eating place.

8 ladies came for lunch yesterday. The service and the food were superb. We had a wonderful time - lots of laughter and fun. Thank you so much for providing a relaxing environment for our ladies who lunch group. We will return. A number of the ladies had not been before and they were very impressed. I have been for Sunday lunch many times and once had a memorable Valentine's Day afternoon Tea

We love coming to the Hopping Hare for Sunday Lunch. It is the best in Northampton and the desserts are amazing! The menu changes regularly, so it’s exciting to see what’s on the menu on each visit. The staff are also lovely and always make the effort to talk to our young children. Service is second to none. The only negative is that we love to sit in the restaurant area as it’s more relaxed, but often end up sitting in the bar. Though this is probably because we often book last minute.
