Our community

We sit at the heart of our village and our pub is still very much a community focal point, frequented by locals alongside people travelling through.

Our ambition is always that The Hare & Hounds is not simply a place to sleep, dine or drink, rather it becomes both an integral part of its neighbourhood, fostering connections and celebrating local history, and a beacon attracting visitors from further afield. It’s this connection with our location and heritage that sets us apart; we are proudly independent in style and spirit.
