"We recently held our special event at the Hare and Hounds on August 31st and we were extremely impressed with the experience. From our first interaction with the team, we knew we had chosen the perfect venue for our celebration. We had been following the restaurant closely on social media for the past 18 months and were happy to support a local establishment that had shown so much care for the community during the lockdowns. The staff were incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about our theme, and they provided a beautiful menu that catered to all dietary needs. We felt well taken care of and would highly recommend the Hare and Hounds for any party or event. Thank you for making our special day even more wonderful than we could have imagined!"

Really nice old style atmosphere in the old town of St Albans. Good choice of ales. Bar staff are super friendly.

Top pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Best Guinness in town and definitely worth a visit. Old reviews are from past landlords.

Friendly staff, and possibly the best Guinness in town. Good quality live music on Saturday. Challenge the Landlord to solve some physics-inspired puzzles

The barman was drunk, aggressive and unfriendly. We went here for a pint to meet some friends. They had no ales or real ciders left on tap. Their open fire consisted of a few burning newspapers that made the pub stink of burning paper. There are three much better pubs within two minutes walk where they don't make you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. View menu

We should have booked a table as it was quite busy and the table we ended up at was not ideal. That said the food was excellent I think it was a little overpriced but it was very good. We had the chicken and it was great. Had extra gravy which was a bonus as not all places seem happy to provide extra. Drinks are well priced and the service was excellent.

This place is honestly easy and feels like home! People are so nice! I come here so often and this place is so special. Paul is lively and warm! His Irish spirit is something truly special! and Seb is an absolute legend and they both complement each other! I have been coming here for over 11years and this place has been part of the community. I cannot think of a better place to celebrate, chill or have a chat at! Its a must visit!

We had an enjoyable roast dinner here back in May 2022. However this time yet lunch menu had only four items: cheeseburger, chicken burger, chicken nuggets or cheesy chips… As a large group with dog, we decided it was going to be easier to stay and order from this limited choice. The cheeseburgers were unappealing, using the cheapest of burgers, whilst the chicken burger was made of reconstituted meat. We sat outside but when we ventured into the pub to use the facilities, the pub smelt of stale beer and toilet cleaner. Not the nicest of experiences. We won’t be returning. View menu

Until the first lockdown we used to go to the Hare and Hounds on Sundays for a superb roast. It was, then, a warm and welcoming pub with good food, cheerful service and ah cheerful general ambience. This time 7 of us went for lunch on a Friday. What we had was the worst meal I think I have ever eaten in 70+ years of eating out. Everything was just terrible: badly cooked, tepid, half warmed up. On the positive side the service was friendly and efficient,the soup ok, the beer good and they tolerated our dog.....but the contempt for diners, witnessed by what they were prepared to serve as food, was palpable. Never again.

We came here for the first time back in spring once lockdown restrictions were easing. The food on that occasion was yummy- we ordered a tapas selection which was delicious! We decided to revisit today and brought along our dog after a leisurely walk around St Albans park. This time my husband and I decided on the roast lamb and we were not disappointed! It makes such a change to have freshly prepared veg, homemade Yorkshire puddings and proper roast meat. Too often chain pubs use suppliers and end up cooking their meals from frozen- not at this fine pub- the staff, service and food was sublime and we will definitely be back soon!
