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.

Lovely venue as always to spend time with friends , family or simply alone! Atmosphere is always comfortable even when eating alone. Service is great too. Great value for money given the quality and amount of the food generally. We only had mains and desserts. All the mains were Sunday roasts, two beef, one pork, and a chicken. Plenty of meat, lots of veg (four different types not including potatoes), a big Yorkshire that thankfully wasn’t soggy and the most delicious gravy (I really needed more). The roast potatoes were the only let down, being very dry and hard which we all agreed on. The desserts were outstanding. Two chocolate and hazelnut delices and one lemon tart. Again we all agreed, the desserts were to die for.

We had a group meal for 15 persons. The service was excellent. The meals were served in the attractive conservatory and the atmosphere was superb. All our meals were served without delay. The quality of food was up to its usual high standard. This was our third group meal and we will definitely return.

Enjoy going to The Hopping Hare. However this time not up to the usual standard. We were the only ones in the restaurant but it was a little while before we were asked for a drink order and longer to get them. Most food was good however 1 meal was not up to standard and this was deducted from the bill. We will give it another visit

Took my mum for an 80th birthday lunch and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. The roast dinner was superb, the starters were lovely and the desserts were moreish. We’d travelled down from Scotland and I guarantee we’ll return the next time we’re down . The staff were attentive , fun and polite. All in all a fabulous experience 12/10
