Visited again 22/11/24 for tasting menu second in recent weeks and again it was amazing value with well presented,enjoyable dishes including gluten free for my wife,however we feel the portion sizes are ;little too generous and could be reduced slightly probably not a common view!! Looking forward to visit again in new year
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonVery good service and the food was amazing. We had the specials lamb tagine and partridge. I’d love to have the lamb tagine on the menu all the time! Desert was lovely too. Always good to see Rosie and the team!
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonA really lovely night away and meal. The quality of the food was brilliant. Staff were professional and attentive. I will definitely be coming back again with my friends.
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonI booked a group booking for my sister’s birthday so there was 15 of us and I was so impressed with the service! We were asked to pre order our food which was made so easy to do. On the night the food all came out at the same time and there was no issues and the food was amazing! The staff couldn’t be any more helpful and made our night so enjoyable. Can’t thank them enough! I would highly recommend the Queens Arms!
The Queens Arms Orlingbury – KetteringHad an excellent lunch yesterday. Great choices on the menu and despite there being two bigger parties the service and speed of meal delivery was extremely well done. The waitresses were efficient friendly and most helpful

The Queens Arms Orlingbury – KetteringWe visited the Queens Arms as a group of 6 people. Our welcome was really good and our table prepared for us, even though we were slightly early. Our drinks order was taken straight away and served very quickly. The menu was really good with an excellent choice of dishes, including some very nice Vegetarian options. Everyone enjoyed their meals, starters, mains and deserts and we’ll definitely be booking again very soon.
The Queens Arms Orlingbury – KetteringFood was amazing as usual. Sadly the lights were too bright and sterile, there was little atmosphere and service was slow! Shame as was a Saturday night.
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonExcellent food and staff as usual
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonWhat a lovely evening out. This is the fourth time we have eaten at The Hopping Hare. They were so accommodating of our various dietary requirements. The food was promptly served and just delicious. My mother-in-law normally has a child's portion but ate her way through a sizeable and beautifully cooked adult fish and chips - though, to be fair, we did help her with the chips. My husband is gluten free and vegetarian and loved his food. We don't normally eat desert, but the sticky toffee pudding and the marmalade and almond ice cream were both delightful.
The Hopping Hare – NorthamptonPity the website failed to inform potential customers that it was not open for business because it is undergoing a change of management. We turned up at the appointed time to be greeted by an embarrassed new owner.
The Royal George – Market HarboroughMy wife and her friends had booked and arrived at the restaurant only to find that it was closed, yet again . This was Friday 15th November 2024, what a disgrace!!
The Royal George – Market HarboroughDecided to eat here alone on a whim (couldn’t face cooking for one again), and I’m so glad. Brisket is one of my favourites, you know, the best comfort food cooking you remember your mum/gran/favourite relative always cooked, when you were a child? The sort of food that makes you feel cherished, and nostalgic in the absolute best way? And it’s also one of those meals that you order in the hope that it tastes just as you remember, but so often is NEVER as good as the memory, so you are disappointed and wish you chose something else? This meal was so DIFFERENT. The gorgeous flavour of the melt in your mouth tender beef, rich savoury gravy, smooth mash, onions, and perfectly cooked sweet carrots (I chose not to have the other veg) literally took me back to the best parts of my childhood, and put the biggest smile on my face. Desserts are another matter. So often they look so much better than they taste, the texture isn’t right, they’re overpoweringly sweet, or just too big. But I was intrigued by the flavours of the chocolate caramel mousse. Now I’m not a caramel fan (often in the too sickly sweet bracket) BUT, the flavours of hazelnut (favourite flavour) panna cotta and blackberry sorbet hooked me. OMG, the chocolate, hazelnut and blackberry were a ménage a trois of flavours and textures made in heaven. Adding the oh so slightly sharp, smoothly icy blackberry was an inspiration ally clever touch, that prevented the indulgent chocolate mousse and hazelnut panna cotta from being too much. Both courses and a coke for £32. I’ve had cheaper and more expensive meals, but none hold a candle to that. Thank you chef, outstanding. As Arnie once said, ‘I’ll be back’.
