5* food at a reasonable price. Couldn't fault the service. Only disappointment was that one of our party of 7 asked to see the specials board, being a Thursday evening specials were not on, as apparently only on at weekends, will defo be returning for more ASAP.

Dined here as a family group, four of whom are vegetarian. I had telephoned in advance to ensure there was a good range of vegetarian options. The staff member on the phone did not initially understand that fish is not part of a vegetarian diet. Our server was friendly and attentive, although service was a little slow as the evening drew on. We were disappointed that dishes on the menu were not labelled as vegetarian and therefore a lot of checking with the kitchen was needed, especially when it came to desserts, which were delicious but several options were not suitable for vegetarians, presumably due to use of gelatin. It would be helpful for both customers and staff if the menu was clearer and more informative. Our food was mostly to a high standard and the wine was good, but the vegan options in particular were less substantial than those eating meat or fish. I have eaten here several times, especially on special occasions, but I'm not sure if I could persuade my vegetarian family members to return with me!

Four of us for Sunday lunch which was really lovely. Light and spacious restaurant. One of us had the beef, one the chicken and two of us the pork. All nicely presented, lovely vegetables and huge crispy Yorkshire pudding! All cooked beautifully and very tasty. Only gripe is that I didn’t have room for dessert!

An excellent experience. We were a group of eight friends, none of us from the area, meeting up for Sunday lunch. We all had different combinations of food and everyone was totally satisfied. The service was friendly and attentive. I liked the fact there was no background music and tables were well spaced out so that other people’s conversations weren’t intrusive. Would thoroughly recommend.

One of the best Sunday lunches we’ve had in a long time! The food was lovely in presentation and outstanding in taste. The gravy is especially delicious!

As usual, everything about the Hopping Hare was first class. The only thing that would have improved our evening was not being on a table adjacent to the bar, - which somewhat detracted from the intimacy of the evening. Upon being shown to the table on arrival at 7.00pm, and asking if there was anything further in the restaurant, we were informed that all of the other unoccupied tables were booked. One fully appreciates that someone has to sit o the outer tables but, at such an early time, having booked six days prior, one might have thought that it would not have taken a great deal of effort to accommodate us on an alternative table and, if necessary, relay. Apart from that - everything about the experience was perfect.

Catered brilliantly for 4 coeliacs/gluten free diners, thank you. Would be great to see some English wine on the wine list. Very friendly, efficient service.

We had a lovely meal at The Hopping Hare. The menu was limited but there was something for everyone. The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. The steak and pork loin were very tender and the portion sizes were just right. The staff were also attentive. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

We have always considered The Hopping Hare as the best restaurant in Northampton & consequently have celebrated many birthdays & anniversaries here for almost 20 years. Unfortunately our last visit was very disappointing. Two of the party had the most expensive steaks on the menu which did not look very appetising, & the supposedly triple fried chips were pale, soft & anaemic looking. My vegan daughter & her boyfriend both ordered mushroom risotto from the vegan menu & the order was taken by the man I presume to be the owner. When their mains came out they were both given what looked like tomato & mascarpone risotto....with no explanation. When challenged we were told by one waiter that they were changing the menu the next day & didn't have any mushrooms, & by a second waiter that the vegan menu had been changed ages ago!! Why then, did the manager take the order?? The other vegan option wasn't suitable, so they were both offered double portions of soup as their main. As they had already had soup for their starter, this meant their entire meal consisted of 3 portions of soup each. They did take the cost of the vegan food off the final bill, & the 2 waiters who served us were very friendly & helpful. The manager however, was a different story & didn't make any apology. I found him to be very unfriendly & unwelcoming. I don't think we'll be going back, which is a shame.

Superb as always . Staff pleasant , jolly and polite . Food was magnificent as usual . Maybe pork loin portion came up a bit mean on portion size for the price it’s ticketed at . All starters delightful well presented and delicious for all the group . Wines sadly are expensive . It would be so nice to get a bottle under £20 now . We would buy more too ! Pricing of deserts starting to make you think - Nah , I’ll not bother for that thank you .

The food was amazing. Everything was prepared and cooked beautifully. We visited because of the locally sourced , quality ingredients and it did not disappoint. The decor and venue was lovely, however I was hoping for more of a theme. The website listed local suppliers which I thought was a huge selling point. I was hoping to feel/see this in the restaurant somewhere but it felt very commercial. Unfortunately, one manager was dealing with a customer as we walked in. She was very loud and I was embarrassed for the man she was dealing with. He was quiet and asking questions discreetly. He wanted something sorting in his hotel room to which the manager kept repeating ‘I can’t do anything about it until 10pm.’ When the gentleman left, she laughed about it to her colleague, so rude! Now feeling really on edge and the atmosphere tense, we sat to enjoy our meal while she stormed around the bar. She was clearly very busy but needed to calm down and take a breath! Our waitress, possibly called Lynn, was really lovely, helpful and we had really great service. We will visit again, (although I’m sure the gentleman in the hotel will not.) Hopefully it was just an isolated incident and next time we will feel more welcome.

Fantastic food, very nicely presented in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The waiter was just the right kind of attentive. Would recommend and as The Hopping Hare is almost on my doorstep will definitely revisit.
