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.

Stopped en route from Alton Towers to Surrey. We had a table of 8 and the service was excellent throughout. Clean, modern, nice surroundings and more importantly the food was spot on. Best pub food I have had in a long while.

Staff were attentive and all the three courses ordered were fantastic. The presentation of all meals looked wonderful. Would definitely recommend a visit . Nice atmosphere in the restaurant too. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Amazing food & friendly atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming on arrival, and our waitress was super lovely. The food was fantastic, juicy meat, full of flavour, and amazing desserts! Each course came quickly & staff ensured we were fully satisfied with each dish. You definitely get what you pay for, some may consider it pricey but as an occasional treat or special occasion it's definitely worth it. We will definitely be coming back for another visit soon!
Janice Harris

We are unable to write a review of the food, service etc because we did not stay. We saw the menus at our table and were not impressed by the limited choice and the way main items and accompaniments were combined. Also we thought many items were overpriced eg about £16 for fish and chips or burgers.
