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.

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!!
