About The Boxing Hare

A country pub on the smarter end of things, this one earns its 4.6 with food that people talk about for weeks — the Sunday roast in particular, with beef one family called "gloriously tender", crisp roast potatoes and towering Yorkshires. Portions are generous enough that ordering two of anything is a mistake. For families, there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, free parking and outdoor seating for when small people need to move. Staff are attentive and unhurried, and they take allergies seriously — nut allergies were carefully handled for one group. It's elegant rather than rowdy, so it suits a proper sit-down meal more than a quick feed, and it books up: reserve, especially for a weekend roast.
