What a gem! Highly recommended

“What a great find! Very pleasant, clean bedroom and a fabulous restaurant. Food was beautifully presented -more Michelin star type of presentation than the usual 'pub grub'. Having said that- they do also have all the pub usuals eg burgers and fish and chips. My salmon starter was fabulous- done with fennel, microherbs and zingy avocado…. and my cod was beautifully cooked. The cottage pie that my husband had was made of good lean steak, not the usual mince. Very well priced. Lovely staff. Couldn't fault it. We'd definitely go again if in the area.”

Fantastic staff and room

“My wife and I stayed for 2 nights, while the British MotoGP was on at Silverstone. The Hopping Hare is a great location for a stop over with Silverstone only 20 minutes away by car or bike. The staff are fantastic and really give out warm welcomes. We had room 9 and it was a good sized room. I love the decor of the pub. The pub is in a 5G area so no need to hook into the Wi-Fi for quick speeds. Loved the breakfast. All freshly cooked to order.”

Excellent Pub-with-rooms in a quiet suburb of Northampton

“Attractive redbrick and stone building tastefully modernised. Good car parking. Good modern rooms, but accessed via a winding internal staircase as there is no lift. There is at least one accessible ground-floor room. Room keys are a modern key-card system, there is out-of-hours access via a side door when the Pub is closed. Excellent restaurant, room rate includes cooked-to-order breakfast, but note that breakfast hours are 7-9am. Check-in from 2-30pm at the Bar, there is no separate Reception counter.. Check-out by 11am. Well recommended ..!”

Really great meal

“A small group of friends visited here for an evening meal and we were not disappointed. We had previously only eaten Sunday lunch here which has always been good. The menu is quite extensive and includes Gluten free options. We only had main courses and desserts. All our meals were thoroughly enjoyed beautifully cooked and presented. The dessert options are equally as delicious and again beautifully presented. We visited on a quiet night and only a few were in the restaurant. The service was efficient and proactive. We will definitely return as our expectations were exceeded.”

A fantastic find

“A fantastic find. Superb hotel/restaurant. Great location excellent food and the staff are the most helpful and friendly people you could hope for. The bedroom was massive and the bed the most comfortable we've had for a long time! Five star experience at very reasonable cost.”

Excellent accommodation and staff

“We stayed for two nights. Room and facilities in general were excellent. Staff all very friendly and accommodating, particularly Jennie who looked after us in the evenings and at breakfast. We very much enjoyed speaking with Jennie who was always very friendly and works very hard. Having staff like Jennie really makes a difference and made our stay even better so thank you Jennie and take care.”

Marvelous new taster menu

“We went for the newly established taster menu which is happening every Friday. The food was so good, really interesting menu focusing on local and seasonal produce. At £45 per person which included a glass of wine it was excellent value. We've always found the service really good and this was no exception. When I struggled to finish my (2nd) pudding a box was produced for me to transport it home. We will definitely be back for more.”

“Superb relaxing atmosphere with a lovely warm welcome. The food ain't half bad either. You just know it is all locally sourced and it is so well presented. Luxury eating at an affordable price. If you haven't already done so, then you've got to give it a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.”

“The menu is fantastic. Very good choice. The staff couldn't do enough for us, starters were amazing, my wife had the mackerel and said it was the best starter she'd ever had. The duo of venison was simply amazing. I'll be back very soon. Thank you.”
