About The Hopping Hare

The Hopping Hare is a privately owned two-AA-rosette restaurant with 20 luxurious en-suite bedrooms. It’s situated just two miles from Northampton town centre and close to the Althorp Estate, which provides much of the game on the menu in season. Executive Chef Karl Penny (ex-Waddesdon Estate in Aylesbury) delivers a Modern English menu which offers excellent-quality food at great-value prices. Where possible, produce is sourced from local suppliers and these are proudly name-checked on their website. The stylish bar has intimate corners and fireside sofas and the contemporary dining room is cleverly zoned to accommodate couples and groups. The Hopping Hare is a great choice for a celebration too with the popular Conservatory available for exclusive use for larger parties.

The food and service is exceptional at the Hopping Hare. Lovely informal dining space which doesn’t feel stuffy at all but with top quality food, presented beautifully. If you’re looking for basic pub grub, this is not the place to go. Expect something very special.

We had the stake and I can honestly say it was one of the best stakes I have ever tasted The atmosphere was lovely, calm and very friendly and the service was excellent as was the value for money.

We went to lunch yesterday and there were 6 of us. We had such a lovely time as the waiting staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome , checking were we ok for drinks or did we need anything else. The atmosphere of the place was lovely. Always clean and tidy and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

The staff from the very start of the booking to the end of service could not have been more amazing. The booking was for a large group for a cheese & wine evening. The cheeseboard was decorated beautifully and the chef even accommodated two extra boards when two more attendees joined then planed. Rosie who worked on the booking was fantastic and when the requirements changed she kindly did all she could to assist. A huge thank you to all the staff involved. I could not recommend this restaurant enough!

This the 4th time that we have had lunch at the Hopping Hare. We meet friends from St Albans and we are from the Midlands so they were recommended by a friend as a good halfway meeting point for us. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, the staff are always lovely and the food is always fantastic. We are already looking at booking for our Christmas get together and very much looking forward. Would 100% recommend it as a place to visit
