Hare And Hounds - Surrey Heath

First time in this pub for some time, and on arrival we went up to the bar, only to be told it 's table service only. Very odd, as since restrictions have been scrapped in the last month, this was the first time we 'd experienced restrictions in a pub like this. We sat at a table less than 6 feet from the bar, only to be fronted with a member of staff taking our drinks order. All the table staff seemed to be very young, and they had to write down the drinks order, only to take it less than 6 feet to the bar where they placed this down on the bar for the one bar person to serve. Whilst we were there, the staff were forever asking Are you alright for drinks? . We didn 't need to be asked, and when we did want another drink, we were happy to flag one of them down. It seemed ludicrous having this type of service, when it would have been better to be able to stand at the bar to order the drinks and then go to the table, allowing the table staff to wait on the tables that were having food served. I doubt that they would know any information about the available drinks, including brands and ABVs. It would have been better off having another member of bar staff, and less table staff. When we arrived around 6pm, there were four table staff hanging around the bar. It also seemed strange that they were all wearing long sleeved hoodies in August. We will be happy to re visit the pub when the operation of the pub is more reflective of the layout and service offered.

My wife and I ordered take away Sunday Dinners for the first time. Wow! The lamb rump was succulent, the beef with horse radish sauce, was top drawer. Veggies really fresh and sweet. Yorkshire puddings were tall and crisp. The dinners came with gravy and sauces. First class effort, well done Ron and Kay,

After great recommendation , decided to try this pub, after lockdown had ceased, for the moment !!. Spacious pub, good atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, great service. Lovely food, massive portions,very reasonable prices. I had the fish and chips, the chips were awesome, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The fish was big enough for 2 or 3 people, and I must admit, for the first time in my life,of eating out, I couldn't finish the fish, delicious as it was, it was just too big, so I had to concede defeat. Will be back to try the Sunday Roast , which I have , on good authority, been told is massive too.

The Hare and Hounds, is a traditional pub, with good selection of beers, larger, spirits and wine. We went and had a Sunday lunch here very tasty and filling, so much so we couldnt manage desert. Welcoming and careful staff.

What a treasure of a pub. From the moment we walked through the front door we were made to feel welcome. The staff were very friendly and chatty. We chose to sit outside in the garden for our lunch and we’re spoilt for choice of where to sit. So many different areas, shaded/unshaded/ secluded/open. When our food arrived it was amazing. We helped ourselves to a pack of cards from the games box and spent the afternoon playing cards sipping our cold drinks on such a hot day. Absolutely recommend the pub for environment and food. Thank you
