The Hare & Hounds

Favoured by locals and visitors alike, this traditional Irish pub in Rowledge is the place to go if you’re after home-cooked food, friendly service and a relaxing area in which to drink and dine.

The line-up of ale changes each month to keep things interesting and, of course, Guinness takes pride of place at the bar. When it comes to food, you can expect hearty, homemade fare that’s cooked to order. Diners can choose from the seasonally changing menu that incorporates seasonal, fresh produce. Pop in for lunch and enjoy the likes of sandwiches, filled jacket potatoes, wraps and bar bites. If choosing from the main menu, you might opt for starters of smoked mackerel or tian of crab. Mains include fish of the week, and lamb rump with boiled bacon and cabbage. The mouth-watering range of desserts ensures your meal will end on a high note. A tasty Sunday lunch is worth looking forward to all week, but that doesn’t mean you want the same thing each time you visit – at this pub, options change weekly. A gluten-free menu and a children’s menu are also available.

The pub is host to a number of regular events that draw the crowds in and the team is keen to support local charities. Check out their Facebook for the latest news and events.
