Reviews in Northamptonshire

After giving the restaurant another try after not so good previous experience, we again tried the Sunday lunch last week 20th April, I find it necessary to write this review. It all boils down to the Head Chef not checking the Pass. Cold plates, lukewarm vegetables and the roast potatoes ( which you’d think would be roasting hot) were also lukewarm . The waitress did not approach our table for comment until our guests were half way through their meal. Too late to rectify. When we said we weren’t happy the waitress dismissed us and walked away. Consequently, we will not be back

Couldn't fault anything. Very accommodating with a youngster in our group

Everyone had a lovely meal , as always we all said we enjoyed everything about our food choices

Our first visit to the Hopping Hare despite living only 7 miles away for over 20 years. We had a really nice meal. Lovely homemade breads with oil and marmite butter to start. For mains, two of us had duck, one a burger and the other the salt baked celeriac. All delicious. Then we shared desserts - a very lovely lemon tart and a sticky toffee pudding (nice but not particularly special). Service was friendly and slightly quirky, good overall. Well done HH team, we will be back.

Everything about the dining experience can’t be faulted, in my opinion. Quality ingredients, locally, sourced. Prepared and presented to a very high standard. The menu has been carefully thought out. It gives you some slightly different choices along with the traditional meals to suit just about everyone. Portion size is just right. The dining environment is comfortable and relaxed, very clean and tastefully decorated. Staff are friendly and professional. A reliably good option for any occasion.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch on 13th April. Food was of a very high standard, as was the service from the staff. Definitely a great find. I would definitely recommend.

Great food, great staff. The best Restaurant within 10 miles of where we live.

Sunday lunch 13th Apr As usual the Admiral Nelson did not diappoint. The service was friendly and efficient always conducted with a cheerful smile. The food was very good however I would have liked my belly pork a little more cooked/browned on top. The vegatables and all the trimmings were excellent as were the deserts. All in all a very good visit

Meal and service were both great thanks a million Hopping Hare

Superb meal, very very quick service despite the pub being really busy. Ham, egg & chips with lovely lean ham was a highlight. Lovely waitresses, always with a smile which just made the evening all the better.

Went for lunch and the food is outstanding. Thought the staff were going to be a little frosty at first but they too turned out to be really accommodating. The atmosphere is good and the place is clean. Slightly cold inside so may be worthwhile turning the heating up a little. Overall a vey pleasant experience and would definitely go back.

A most enjoyable evening. The food was of good quality and really nicely presented. Also, I appreciated the fact nothing was overpowered with garlic. The mix of flavours was excellent. The service was also very good.

Excellent service and food. Just couldn't fault it. Recommend 100%

Lovely 85th birthday lunch for my mum with all the family, service , food and ambiance all top notch, would definitely recommend!

Excellent food and excellent service. First visit for me and i'll be back.

From making the original booking to making some last minute changes the staff were brilliant. Food was served on time and tasty. One small criticism was the cheesy garlic bread on the kids menu. A sliced Warburtons roll with melted sliced cheese unfortunately was not worth the £11 charged. Other than that a great night was had with good food.
