Hare & Hounds Pub in West Dorset

Lovely pub with friendly staff and great food. Prices were reasonable for food and drinks, I ordered the gluten free scampi and chips which was gorgeous. Great vibe inside, highly recommend!

A great country pub, super friendly and relaxed service and great location; all landlords should be a bit more Bob 😀. Food was very good, honest homemade pub food, so often disappointed when we eat out but not at this pub, thanks for a great meal

We are staying down the road in a cottage and came in on Saturday 10th August and was really impressed by the food and service after just turning up with 8 of us. We came back on Wednesday 14th August and had booked this time Bob had asked if we would pre order and was more than happy to do so. I had the faggots and my god honestly incredible a few other guests were very jealous but really enjoyed their food. Would definitely return here if in the area. Thank you Bob & Jenny both are doing an incredible job and wish you all the success!

Lovely location with a beautiful garden and very dog-friendly. Plenty of seating both outside and inside. The decor was tasteful, immaculate and very cosy. The food was presented nicely and was delicious and filling too. The cheerful and efficient staff were the cherry on the cake! Many thanks for a very happy dining experience.

Very Friendly and welcoming pub with good food, dog friendly which was a big plus. Definitely recommend people to visit

The food was superb and the ales were just as good. Don't go to Waytown without eating here. The host Bob just made us laugh and was great and wife does a great job with the food. The waitress was also lovely.

We’ve been to Bob and Jenny’s quite a few times now, they are both very friendly, food and beer exceptional, we often just pop in for a pint and a chat when staying at Pineapple farm. Will be back again very soon Colin and Jenny

Lovely, lovely country pub with great home-cooked food, prepared and presented beautifully - the scampi and chips was delicious, also the Eton mess. So nice to meet a friendly landlord who welcomed our dogs! We were staying in a cottage over the field and visited on a Monday night (when most other country pubs seem to close) Beautiful garden, so peaceful, just what a country pub should be...

Where to begin… what a hidden gem in the most beautiful setting. Bob and Jenny could not be more welcoming. I visited this afternoon with 5 girlfriends for lunch, The food was absolutely delicious (go for the pies!) and Bob was the perfect host, going the extra mile to make our visit really enjoyable, one of my friends picked her own eggs for her ham, egg and chips and everything is home cooked from scratch and it really shows. Bob even wrote out directions for us to find our way back to our holiday house! Thank you Bob and Jenny, you made our day! X

Friendly, welcoming landlord (Bob), has just renewed his tenancy after initial 3 years. Very quet rural location, ample parking, chicens roaming free in the garden and a sensible, notover-ambitious lunch menu. We had southern fried chicken, and locally made faggots. The H & H was a real find.

Visited this great little pub during a half term holiday in nearby Salwayash. The pub is in a beautiful location overlooking some beautiful Dorset views; the Landlord is very friendly; the local Palmers beer, delicious; and the home cooked food, very tasty. I hope it’s paying a compliment by saying that the meals were the perfect size to make you feel full but not stuffed. Too often you visit places that overfill your plate: the Hare and Hounds chooses hearty dinners at manageable sizes. The choice was varied (got to love a place that served faggots), the food tasty and we’ve already booked to visit again. Thank you

Fantastic country pub with lovely garden with views over country side.Went here while staying at Pineapple campsite near by.. If only all pubs were like this ,they would not be closing down ! What a welcome by the landlord Bob.He made you feel at home from the start. The food is all home cooked and delicious I had pie and hubby had faggots.Proper menu with local ingredients. Nice cottagey rooms inside but we ate outside in lovely garden. Bob attracts nice clientel had chats with several punters especially guy on his vespa scooter ! Wish this pub was near us in Somerset, would definitely be my local. Well done Bob and Jenny 🙌

Welcoming landlord and friendly staff, nice beer garden, plenty of parking, lovely setting; food good, promptly served and nothing too much trouble. Narrow lanes to get there and check website as not always open?

We came here for lunch following a trip to the cider farm down the road and thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat outside in their beautiful garden enjoying the views and the flowers. The pub owner was very friendly and had a laugh with us. Our paninis were lovely and a very fair price. A fabulous find and we will certainly be returning when we next holiday in Dorset!

Lovely traditional pub hidden away in the Dorset lanes. I enjoyed beautiful fish and chips with lovely crispy after. The garden has lovely views over the countryside.

What a beautiful location, the garden is stunning with gorgeous flowers and a great amount of good seating with a fantastic view. Inside is a lovely space to eat and drink. The landlord was so welcoming and the place is very dog friendly, we have 2 small dogs. The lunch was amazing, proper cooked food and the best sausages that I have ever had. Further tempted then for a dessert which I never have and that was the most delicious Brownie. 100% recommend and we will be back. Thank you so much Ps the menus are perfectly placed 👌

Stayed about 1.5 miles away from this excellent pub, great beer, great food, friendly welcome , visited 3 times including 2 evening meals. What a wonderful pub. This really is what country pubs are all about and dog friendly too. If you are in the area or on holiday don't miss this gem of a pub.

We had a great evening with our spaniel. Bob the land lord was so welcoming and friendly. Loved the faggots and mash, sausage and mash followed by amazing bread and butter pudding. Wonderful location.

We had an excellent supper this evening plus marvellous entertainment from Bob, the landlord via his pub quiz sheets. He is a true character, friendly and relaxed, and we’d definitely recommend a visit. Pretty pub garden too.

Great little find, amazing views. Friendly service and good home cooked food. Would definitely recommend . Dog friendly

The H&H was a 10 minute walk from our Airbnb and we loved it. This is just how a pub should be. The beer is well kept, delicious wholesome food, beautiful location, always a welcome from the landlord and his staff and a really friendly atmosphere. Thank you Bob and Jenny!

We went with some friends who had been several times and their warm words about the pub were more than justified . Absolutely everything from the really friendly welcome to the great clean loos at the end was superb . We ate in the really pretty garden , the views were gorgeous , the food was extremely tasty and freshly cooked and there is no doubt we will return ! Prices were reasonable for the quality . Thank you Hare and Hounds for a lovely lunchtime !

Lovely pub food, we were lucky enough to be able to eat outside in the garden with beautiful views across the Dorset countryside. Our meals were delicious and the service was excellent. This is a return visit and it did not disappoint

Whilst staying at nearby Pineapple Farm Estate we ate at the pub twice and are so glad that we did.It's good honest home-cooked pub grub at very reasonable prices and the selection of drinks on offer are great and again very reasonable. My husband particularly enjoyed the Dorset Gold beer.Rob the owner is quite a character and very welcoming and we had a lovely chat with him and also the lady behind the bar who, it turned out,had a lot in common with us in terms of where we live etc - such a small world!The pub is dog-friendly which is great, although it also has a room for people to dine in if they prefer not to have dogs around which is also great, plus there is a great garden area for those who want to sit outside.I always judge a pub/restaurant on their loos and the ones at the Hare & Hounds were spotless with plenty of anti-bac soap, hand-gel and also hand cream which is always a nice touch.We are already planning our next trip back to Dorset and we'll definitely be paying the Hare & Hounds a visit or two.Thank you for making us so welcome.

While on holiday, we visited the Hare and Hounds 3 times for either lunch or evening meal. Fantastic food everytime. Well worth going. As for the landlord Rob, what a great friendly guy. Felt like we had known him forever,made us very welcome. Will definately call again if we are in the area.So to the staff and particulary Rob, many thanks againYou will know who we are, Andy and Roz from Yorkshire and Shelby, our little white dog

We booked on the offchance...they fitted us in, and we loved the view over the rolling hills of Dorset. Inside was cosy, and the food was delicious.

Great location, not changed much as a village pub over the years a little gem, Lovely pub meal in peace and tranquility away from the masses at the coast

Great service and excellent food at this lovely traditional pub. The views from the outside garden area are amazing. Really welcoming staff and we had a lovely meal for four with our dog also of course and were all made very welcome - thank you!!

Had a fantastic lunchtime visit. Bob was an excellent host. And jenny cooked up some true delights. Even cream on the ice cream... Try it...The food locally sourced potatoes from garden eggs from their hens. Fantastic views.This is on our to visit pubs list every time in Dorset. Keep up the great work especially in these hard times. Nige deb tilly the dog

We stayed at Pineapple Farm and this pub was a pleasant two mile walk. Lovely food and the staff couldn't do enough to help. One meal was spent in the cosy pub as the weather was not playing ball and the other outside overlooking beautiful countryside. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent food and a good choice. Lovely atmosphere and location.

Dont normally do reviews but felt this was well deserved. Booked at short notice and had an excellent roast dinner. Loads of veggies and whole experience was really good. A hidden gem in the countryside. Very highly recommended.

Lovely pub, we visited with family, the food was very nice and the service from the owners was very friendly and accommodating. Fantastic location with fab views and excellent choice of beers.

Friendly and welcoming. Good atmosphere and good drinks. Great outdoor area. Food was pretty decent also :)

Our plans changed at the last minute, but the delightful host of this country pub was very happy to accommodate us for a simple but very generous Sunday roast lunch, including puddings to stir the memory (jam roly-poly anyone?). When the better weather comes eating in the garden overlooking the Brit valley will be delightful.

We visited the Hare & Hounds for drinks in the garden. The crystal clear Palmers IPA was a delight and the Shiraz was very good too. The views from the garden are lovely and there was plenty of food being ordered. In summary, this is an excellent traditional country pub with good beer, nice garden and a genial landlord.

We had a lovely lunch with welcoming, friendly (Covid safe) table service at a pub with a wonderful view of the West Dorset hills.

We had yet another fantastic meal . The fishpie was all homemade, nicely cooked with plenty of chunks of fish in a delicious sauce with a divine potato and cheese topping. We can't wait till you're open next week.

So pleased to welcome Bob & Jenny, great to see the pub open again with brilliant management in place .We pre-ordered fish & chips. They were delicious, well presented, hot and good size portion.We look forward to when our campsite is open again and we will definately reccommend the Hare & Hounds..Good luck and best wishes.

Place was closed when we went on a Friday evening. Asking around it appears that the tenants of under two years have quit. I’m not surprised that they didn’t make a go of it tbh. Whenever we went the wait for basic food was way too long, the once lovely garden had been left untended and the place had an overwhelming sense of fatigue. The place could be, and once was, a gem. But the recent incumbents made nothing of its good points - the garden and view. Their social media posts were as rare as hens teeth and even then were not enticing. The website was still the one for the previous tenants so was not accurate in any way (menu and opening times were incorrect). Other local pubs diversified and put themselves out to retain and gain trade during the Covid pandemic but this one did nothing like that ). I hope this place reopens but taking a pub on from landlords who have run it down to the point of closure is a hard task in these difficult times so I fear it may be the end of the road for the H&H. It’s hard to rate food etc on our visit because we didn’t/couldn’t have any food as it was closed up so I have rated food etc on our previous visit there a month or so earlier

Looking forward to a drink after a walk and before a visit to the cider farm. Unfortunately it was closed even though the opening times said it should be open. Very disappointed that the landlord cannot stick to their advertised opening times

A lovely village pub. Had two lovely meals. The staff were amazing and worked very hard. The atmosphere was great and the villagers welcomed us as liked we were locals. One of the best village pubs I have been in.It's a shame the brewery is closing it. Shame on you!

I am told this is a good place to eat. Unfortunately the opening times on their own web site were incorrect and even their answering machine message did not mention this. The place is (August 2020) completely shut on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Avoid. Have pizza delivered or tend your toenails instead. An absolute travesty and stain on the hospitality industry. A public house that should not be allowed to exist. The only venue I have walked out in the last 20 years. Hugely embarrassing for my guests and me. Despite having booked, our table was not ready. And never became ready. Bar service was slow in the extreme. General politeness and professionalism were nowhere to be seen. I cannot comment on the food as one hour after our booking, the table was still not ready so we left. This place could be great. The entire venue needs a change of owners, staff and a reminder of the core principles that should underpin the hospitality industry. Avoid at all costs and consider making a sandwich instead.

Despite having booked a table I can safely say this is the worst service I have never received. The barman was a joke. After an hours wait sat in the car park waiting for the table we left. Highly recommend you avoid this place. Certainly doesn’t add to the charm of the area.

In difficult times we were able to book a table, albeit outside in the teepee, we would have preferred to be indoors, but needs must. Pub steak was cooked to perfection and the barman James went out of his way to look after us bringing us blankets! Shame it wasn’t a tad warmer but the blankets helped! Hope fully revisiting later when the rug rats have all returned to school.

Lovely country pub for a drink but don’t eat there. I had the lasagne and it was definitely a microwaved ready meal. It was awful. My husband had ham egg and chips which was ok. I know pubs are suffering after lockdown but you can’t serve microwaved ready meals. The staff were friendly and it’s in a nice setting.

Fish chowder and drab salad were lovely. Recommend sitting outside with the views! Staff kind but a little absent- think they were adapting to the new normal of running their business to fit covid which is understandable!

Visited this lovely little pub twice whilst taking a holiday in Netherbury. The food was excellent with typical pub menu plus specials. The hospitality is very friendly and welcoming. The service was great, even during the high demand of August they would try to accommodate, saying that it’s best to book. The gardens over look the rolling hills with some amazing views. There is a lovely Moroccan tent if you need a little shade or shelter. Well done Tina and her team.

Visited last week while staying locally after lockdown and although didn't get to sample the food, the wine was very good value for money. A bottle of Pinot Grigio only set us back £14 and it was nice and light. We visited twice and on the second visit the pub was closed but the kind landlord opened for us and served us a drink in their lovely beer garden overlooking the Dorset countryside. We enjoyed meeting their dogs and fellow chickens and hope they get lots of custom after lockdown so that we can visit again next time we are down this way. All in all, I would recommend this pub based on the cheerful welcome from the landlord, the beautiful setting and what seemed like good value for money.

Four of us were booked for dinner at The Hare and Hounds and we had a good evening.Food was good ,two of our party had pre-booked the Moules and they both said that they were very good. The only draw back to the evening was when the people from the table next to us went to pay and wanted some money knocked off their bill. One of the party was a barrack room lawyer who kept saying that there was a law that said if you did not like your food you did not have to pay.(Anyone heard of this Law?)They also said that they were local .I also thought that if you had a complaint about your meal you would not eat it and complain before you went to pay.

Had the most amazing moules mariniere tonight. Delicious fat tasty mussels in a beautiful sauce. Second seafood meal here (previously lobster platter) and both out of this world

Just had the most fantastic Chistmas meal at the Hare & Hounds. Everything superb and the owners made us feel like family. Thank you so much,we had the best Christmas meal ever!

We had great food, a lovely warm welcome and great service. I would highly recommend for a Sunday lunch.

This was our local pub as we were renting a cottage two doors down. We were given a very friendly greeting at the bar which was busy with locals. My husband enjoyed the Palmers 200 beer, brewed in Bridport. We had a lovely well cooked meal in the room next door to the bar at a very reasonable price. We were made to feel very welcome and this included our Cocker Spaniel. Will definitely be returning later in the week to try other meals on the varied menu.

We visited this pub twice while on holiday, we were made very welcome by Tina and malcom and it was not a problem with taking the dogs in, the food was excellent best burger ever, and real ale was very good. Thanks for a couple of lovely visits.

Amazing local village pub that makes strangers feel at home. I had the pleasure of staying in the area for a week and on my first night I was made to feel at home by my hosts Tina and Malcolm. Over the week I visited regularly and found the food, drink and atmosphere amazing. On my final night Tina went out of her way to plan for my specific food......amazing pub run by lovely people

Stayed locally for a weekend & we were welcomed as if we were locals. We were there for our Anniversary & Malcolm the Landlord provided a bottle of wine on the house. Totally unexpected & a lovely gesture. Lovely home cooked Roastie - looking forward to New Years Eve!

While staying in one of the Perhay cottages we enjoyed on different occasions of drinks, dinner and lunch in the Hare & Hounds pub! Just a downhill walk from our cottage and we enjoyed a warm and deeply friendly welcome with nice food!Feels like home!

This lovely little village pub has recently changed hands and the food is absolutely gorgeous, perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon with some delicious food and a drink in the garden. Will definitely return again and again

Such a lovely pub that is sadly being let down by a landlord that is rude and trying to poach customers from this pub to a new venture.

Visiting the area and recommended the pub by hoast’s of our B&B.; The pub was charming, staff friendly and attentive. Food (roast dinner) which obviously all cooked from fresh was Delicious! We’ll most definitely return on our next visit. Perfect pub! Delightful staff and setting.

Old run down and dirty!! Food...gastro prices, greasy spoon quality! 90 minutes to wait for an ‘organic’ burger, which tasted like a frozen cheap burger!! Chicken goujons which were frozen nuggets!! Not quality meat as expected!! Don’t bother to visit.....find a macdonals!!!!!!

We stayed at the nearby Pineapple Farm camp site and walked to the Hare and Hounds one evening .... Really good "pub grub" nothing too adventurous but really well cooked and lovely and hot.... my wife had Scampi and I had the Pie of the day which was deliciouis, we ate outside looking over the rolling Dorset hills. Best of luck with your new venture....we look forward to seeing you soon.

Despite their website saying they are open from 6pm they were closed last evening at just gone 7pm. Garden looked a bit of an overgrown mess, certainly not how it used to be here. It used to be so well kept, mown nicely and lots of colourful plants and flowers, Such a shame. Upon investigation today I found out that the landlords have moved to another pub in the area and are supposedly keeping this one going too until new tenants are found, however from my visit it would appear that this is not the case. Or if it is then they aren’t putting much effort into the Hare and Hounds any more. Please change your website and social media pages to reflect the current situation so that more people don’t have wasted journeys.

On a short holiday, staying nearby at the Bingham Grange Caravan Site we took a lovely walk over pretty meadows and found this delightful pub with very friendly, obliging staff (despite being short staffed). The views are superb, the weather was perfect and so was the beer and food! Excellent and we shall be back! Thank you

Whilst on holiday in Bellingham Grange, we were advised by our campsite of a nice pub called the Hare and Hounds in Waytown some 45 minuet walk across the fields. We weren’t disappointed, the food was amazing large portions beautiful presented. We were so pleased we returned two days later great food, great atmosphere, thoroughly recommend

Arrived today at 1.30pm with my dog to find them closed. Disappointed as I had walked from Beaminster. I had checked the opening times on their website so maybe this was a "one off". Reluctant to give a bad rating as I always enjoy my visits but perhaps it is best to phone beforehand.

We went on a walk from the campsite in search of this pub & was not disappointed. Warm welcome and good price. So good going back on Friday night for dinner. Plus point for us happy to see our beautiful girl.

Visited this pub twice whilst on holiday nearby with my husband, daughter and dog. Services traditional food at reasonable prices. I particularly enjoyed the homemade fish pie. The portions are quite large so I none of us got to enjoy a dessert! Would definitely recommend.

Grubby, unwelcoming, small portions, overpriced. No effort made - could be a countryside gem. Avoid.

Meet up with some friends, we hadn’t booked so had to wait my fault!! Was worth the wait beef with all the trimmings. Served by friendly staff in beautiful surroundings definitely recommend .

A lovely friendly welcome to a gem of a pub. Fantastic service, drinks & food. Made our little getaway perfect & we will be back

Good food. We had vegan chilli, beef burger and jacket potato. Starters soup and garlic mushrooms. All lovely food, nice atmosphere.

Brilliant little pub for good views, good beer and great company. Visit in the winter to get your choice of seats

just remembering back in the summer whilst on our hols . we frequented the pub every night with our two terriers . This is a proper pub in every sense , great food , good ales and more importantly great hosts . There was a steady flow a people coming and going through the week , depending on what night it was in the pie night , fish night Tec. By the end of the week we felt like we were one of the locals ourselves. Unfortunately living at the other end of the country means we can't be one of the locals and envy those who live in this beautiful part of the world . so thanks to Steve and his wife for their hospitality and the Welsh guy who sits in there sometimes with his awful jokes .

It must be difficult to maintain consistent high standards and this establishment has lost some of its sparkle since I visited in 2017. This visit will not stay long in the memory. It was pleasant enough but not worth going back to for a while. The outside has become very tatty and could do with a good clean up and maybe a bin for dog poo.

My wife and I had a day out to the Bridport area and we were searching for a pub to use for lunch. The Hare and Hounds fitted the bill and we were not disappointed with the venue or the food. My wife has a steak pie and I had a chicken curry. There was plenty of each and we both ate very well. It was all delicious and the host was very talkative. The route to the venue was through some lovely small lanes.

This is a proper pub open fire and dog friendly. Easy walk from the cottage we where staying in. Fantastic Sunday Roast ecellent. Very friendly and the dogs loved it. Would definetly come again. Great atmosphere and good choice on menu. Great service also. Great to be able to walk and take the dogs.

With the help of Trip Advisor we found this pub on the way to the south coast. Unpretentious it may be but we received a warm welcome and the food was excellent. I had the Sunday roast (succulent lamb) and two others had the gammon - all first class and reasonably priced. We were fortunate to be seated in The Snug as there was rather loud music in the main bar to which we have an avertion.

At short notice this pub accommodated 12 ladies for Sunday Lunch. It was the most amazing Sunday dinner, clearly al home cooked fresh food served by very friendly staff; we will definitely go again

Beautiful little pub, lovely garden and views. Food was outstanding, roast dinners were perfect, fish and chips were fresh and we couldn’t fault the service. They couldn’t do enough for us and we felt very welcome considering we were a party of 12 ladies!

Lovely food and good staff, the roast dinner was very good, as was the choice in ambient music. Seems a very nice family business. Only downside is that the decor is a little dated and feels a little "self service" getting menus to read, finding your table and placing your order which was a little odd but would definitely go back if we stayed there again. Nice choice of ciders and gins too!

Looked on trip advisor for a recommended place to eat and went for this one. Arrived and was very busy for the size of venue however staff were very friendly and found us a table. Strongly suggest booking. Food was good and well priced. Dog friendly as well. All in all and nice pub in a lovely location.

After being recommended this place, my partner and I decided to seek it out in beautiful Netherbury.

Great meal .Traditional pub grub and Palmers local brewed beer. Dog friendly .Some what of an adventure to find the pub but well worth the effort.

An unspoilt country pub with a large garden with beautiful views over Dorset countryside. Straightforward pub grub but both my gammon and my wife's ham were delicious. Prices for all the food were extremely reasonable. Service was very friendly Although did seem a bit stretched at times!

We had an excellent meal, the food was of a high standard and the locals / staff were welcoming. Delicious local real ale too

We visited this lovely pub for dinner on our holiday. All food was delicious and freshly cooked/prepared! We had a great evening, thanks.

This was our first venue of a two week holiday. We could not have had a better welcome, warm, friendly and a bit of banter with the locals.

A lovely pub with great atmosphere, staff and owners. The best Sunday roast we've had for a long time. Very pet friendly, with garden and wonderful views. Made to feel very welcome and definitely returning.

The Hare and Hounds is a lovely pub, perfect in the summer to sit out in the garden or cosy in the winter to sit inside near the fire. The landlords are lovely, and always smiling and happy to help. I strongly recommend a visit to the lovely country pub.

This delightful pub was recommended by a fisherman at West Bay. Very friendly Landlord and we were made to feel very welcome. The food was second to none and although it will be a bit of a journey from Poole; we will return. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment as the dining area is quite small. Highly recommended.

First time we have been here and what a lovely friendly pub very welcoming and very clean best to book for a meal as quite small inside but if it’s a lovely evening then they have a great beer garden and families welcome the landlord is very friendly too ... lovely menu great choices for starters and mains and they also tell u what is gluten free etc . The ladies toilets were so clean and also have lovely towels and lotion for hands . Also they have a car park

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Hare & Hounds. We are visiting from New Zealand and I remember coming to this pub on my first ever trip to England 15 years ago when I was a kid. Well, it hasn't changed much since then - lovely view over the countryside and delicious food. Totally unpretentious - it had a friendly laid back atmosphere. Often places don't live up to nostalgia but this place really did. We had and loved the Steak & Ale / Fish pies.

We turned up quite late and were pleasantly met and told that we could still order food. We both had a nice Palmer's Gold and a half of Copper. I noticed the Cask Mark Certificate. The beer was very good. We had just a starter and a bowl of chips, because of the time. The Garlic Mushrooms on toast were possibly the best I've ever had and the cheesy shoestring chips were really very good. We were able to sit outside and when we went inside, the bar had a good atmosphere. We had spoken to the owner whilst waiting for our food as she arrived and she was chatting to the regulars when I paid the bill. A really good pub experience and the gardens are being restored and have excellent views

We went as a family, the food is amazing and lovely garden to sit in the sun. Owners and staff are so lovely

As the title says, the food was grwat and the view from the harden is just stunning. If we were in the area again we would definitely visit at. Friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask?

Visited with wife and teenage daughter, no frills but great tasting food and reasonably priced. Lovely setting, very relaxed

Small local pub, very welcoming, great beer garden. Had steak pie, chips and veg and wondered how they managed to get so much meat into the pie! Delicious. Partner had lasagne, chips and salad - again very meaty and much nicer than the one she had at a pub near Dorchester recently which cost nearly 50% more than the Hare and Hounds one did. Waited quite a while for the food but it was worth it and we weren't in a rush anyway. Will come back here again soon.
