At last somewhere decent to eat in my area .! I treated a friend for her 60th and worried that it would be a disappointment as is so often the case. . Can’t praise you enough . The staff were excellent , the food was 10/10. Thank you so much. See you very soon X

Food was absolutely delicious... all the courses were - best restaurant meal I've eaten in a long time. Excellent value for money and the service was brilliant. Will definitely eat here again. Highly recommended.

2 night stay at the Hopping Hare. Evening meal was fantastic. I had the fish and chips which was fantastic. Lovely light batter on the beautifully cooked cod + crispy chips ,peas & home made tartare sauce. My wife ‘ who’s is very particular on what she wastes her calories on had the cod loin with various veggies. She was ecstatic & thought is was superb. For sweet I had sticky toffee pudding which was unusually light ,the wife had the caramelised lemon tart. It was the best sweet she’d had. We came back from a pre-booked Indian and both had the lemon tart tonight. I agree it was superbe!

Super food beautifully presented. Wine good. Service excellent!

My friend & myself have been a few times & the service & food have always been excellent, however, on this occasion the service was very much lacking. We never received ours drinks until after our food had been served to us, my friend had gone to the bar, but no one was there, we did finally manage to get the waitress attention, she had by this time been chatting to a table of 3 men for about 15-20 mins. The person that had taken our drinks order, did then bring our drinks, saying that she thought we had them, but no-one had checked that was the case. Again the food is normally excellent & my certainly was, but not very hot, however, my friends was cold, it was returned & when it came back, looked like it had been microwaved to heat, as the potato my friend had taken a bite out of, was still on the plate. The whole experience was disappoiting.

Very pleasant evening meal with family. Enjoyed the pork loin meal, the pork belly terrine part of the meal, was amazing. Well presented food. Attentive staff all very good.

As always this restaurant made us feel welcome. The service was exemplary and the ambiance perfect for lunchtime eating. However, on this occasion I ordered a main meal risotto which was horrendously salty, to a point that I couldn’t swallow it. However, the replacement meal was lovely. We ordered two espressos , but these arrived dull and flat, very disappointing. All other food and drink we had was very enjoyable.

Lunch time business meeting was met by Supervisor, asked for a quiet table for two; proposed a number of tables finally suggesting a table of four which she felt would the most suitable. She was right it worked well. My colleague and I both had the Venison, it was perfect. Have had it once before and I was not disappointed. Highly recommended for both business and please; You could not fault the service and the food was excellent. Looking forward to going again. A well done to the Team.

Visited for afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday. The food was amazing and had a great selection of sandwiches, desserts, homemade scones and tea. We were absolutely stuffed by the end so had to take some scones and desserts home with us! The staff were great and always checked if everything was ok and offered us regular tea refills. Will definitely be back for an afternoon tea!

A group of 8 of us dined here and stayed the night on Saturday 14 April. I don't often use the word "outstanding" but the food here really was just that. I had no idea the Hopping Hare had 2 rosettes when I booked but I fully understand why it has. It was just fabulous. The service, headed up by Sarah, was excellent as well, nothing was too much trouble and it was super-friendly and efficient. If I didn't live on the East coast of the UK it would be somewhere I'd visit frequently. Very well done, a really great establishment. Rooms were extremely good value for money too - wasn't expecting much to be honest of the B&B because it was so reasonable but again, fabulous.

Fabulous Sunday roast, friendly staff and great value for money .

Went for an evening meal. Excellent meal. Well worth it.

We had a Sunday lunch on the 7th April and it was lovely . We will be going again .

Lovely food and excellent staff service, the best place I’ve had a Sunday dinner in a long time .. definitely will be back there again

Brilliant food and excellent staff. Atmosphere great and one of the best places I have been in a while.

Booked for a table of 6, for my eldest sons birthday and had a lovely dining experience. Food was top quality and the service was exemplary. We will certainly be back as we were made to feel very welcome indeed.
