Amazing place for lunch with an incredible view! We took a day trip to Bath and were not disappointed! The staff were super accommodating and friendly. We had three courses and each was delicious, they can even do the steak blue which shows the quality of their ingredients. My duck breasts plate came out fantastic too! Our puppy also had a fantastic time 🐶

Service was great and the outdoor seating had a spectacular view. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t quite up to standard. Came out luke warm and nothing really to write home about. Both the duck and lamb were overdone meaning they were tough and chewy to eat. Disappointing overall.Come here for the picturesque view and drinks, but maybe avoid the food unless you really are hungry.

I had a coffee meeting on a very busy sunny afternoon when many students and families were celebrating at the premises . The car park was full and the outside area on the balcony level and lower level were very busy with customers.We had a meeting in the back library area which was quiet. Staff seemed to cope reasonably well in spite of insufficient staff. This was reflected in the toilet areas which needed cleaning and rubbish removed. They tried their best and it will always be a lovely venue to visit.Photos taken previous day which was showery.

Beautiful pub, stunning views and spectacular beer garden.Well worth the roughly one-mile walk up Lansdowne Hill from the centre of town. Be warned, it is very steep, but you will be richly rewarded!

Beautiful place to eat and drink. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Has a large open space for outside dining with variable menus to suit all, top decking more choice, lower decking more suitable for families fresh pizzas looked amazing. Dog friendly and children welcome. We noticed a lovely hand made wooded play area for children for many hours of fun and to keep the children occupied whilst you take in the breathtaking views at the same time. Recommend and will return.

A chance find, but the H&H has the most spectacular view down to the outskirts of Bath, which can be enjoyed while supping local ale and treating yourself to some very high end pizza from the generous and immaculate garden. Onviously a bit of a place to be seen, and easy to understand why.

Today we’re heading over to the panoramic Hare and Hounds in Lansdown.  Full 4* review at coeliacwellnes.com Excellent new gluten free menu including options for vegans and for children, safely enjoyed by our coeliac team.  Pizza terrace not able to cater for coeliacs but main restaurant was excellent.  Now some gluten free breakfast options please!

We had a fabulous meal. Great views and smart interior!It was Fabios first night. What a great waiter and so attentive and funny with the teenagers Faye and Willow.The Shepherd Family

Really nice place, good food, good atmosphere, and we had a very friendly waitress. Unfortunately, it doesnt get 5 stars because they said they couldnt help us get a cab. We simply asked for the phone number of a cab company since we didnt have data but they didnt help.

Stopped in to the garden after a day out in Bath. Beautiful garden with amazing view looking down over the valley. Large capacity with many many picnic tables on the decking and on the grass. Served quickly at the outside bar despite it being very busy... large range of drinks, pizzas and ice cream available outside. Very pleasant, will be back for a meal and to venture inside one day!

Such a gorgeous view and the food was top notch!

Lovely lunch with friends. Very friendly staff, Amelie and another member of staff whose name I didnt know. This was my first visit and I would definitely come again. I even managed to park!

Fabulous roast dinner today. We had a sharing roast (minimum 2 people) so had beef, chicken and pork with all the trimmings. Just about ate it. The burger went down with another member of the family. Staff were lovely and no washing up😀

Lovely staff.Food was delicious.Views are gorgeous.4 stars rather than 5 as it took well over 30 minutes for our starters to arrive but once they did the rest of the dinner service was prompt.

Excellent view and nice drinks, roast was decent but not the best. Worth the trip up the hill

The view from this wonderfully located is amazing, but the pub isnt just about the location.The building itself is a gorgeous, old building, tastefully decorated inside, but you will want to sit outside if the weather allows, to allow you to take in the view.Both terraces afford such views - the upper is to dine from the full pub menu, the lower for the outside bar and pizza oven. We sat at the lower and enjoyed really tasty pepperoni pizzas!

We had fabulous Sunday roast at the Hare & Hounds today, as we eat our way around Bath’s best roast dinners.This is a large pub on the top of a hill to the north of Bat, with wonderful views out over Charlcombe & Swainswick from their extensive patio eating area...and the sun was out today, making for a beautiful vista while guzzling though lunch.We had the “sharing roast” - combining chicken, beef and pork-belly on a big platter prepared for two. Served with the full monty of sides - roast potatoes, beans, kale, stuffing, carrots, gravy and more, it pushed every one of my taste buttons. I am not sure when I will need to eat again...definitely not today.Combine that with charming service, a good selection of beers and the beautiful location/view, and you have a 5-star experience.

Wonderful venue with amazing views, the English sparkling wine was on point, the muscles yummy and staff friendly and professional! Heading off from Bath but wish we could come back.

Excellent team looked after us today, best coffee in ages - Bristol twenty and a freshly prepared lunch full of greens. Definitely book was very popular. View is fantastic and a lovely place with a good vibe.

This pub has a terrace with beautiful views over Bath. It is lovely and is the best point about the pub. Maybe I made a bad choice but the fish and chips was probably the greasiest battered fish I have ever eaten. I felt it was priced at restaurant level but quality was really poor. The loos were filthy but they did say they had staff shortages. I hate to give a poor review, I am only too aware it may have been a bad day, but honestly it was very poor when it could have been great if they stepped up to the natural advantage their position offers.

Came for breakfast, had a very nice time overall. Great atmosphere, with very friendly staff. Only issues I had were that the toast didn’t come buttered, which could definitely be fixed just by asking for some but still an extra step that could be avoided. I had also asked for a full english without mushrooms, which didn’t happen. But those are the only real issues I had, otherwise greatly enjoyed my meal. Would definitely come back again.

Fantastic meal at the Hare and Hounds last night with great views and late summer sun. Really looked after by the front of house and management team. You went the extra mile which is really appreciated! Thanks.

Lovely food and great staff also amazing views!

A superb meal served by friendly, helpful and polite staff in a beautiful setting. The teamwork ran through from the kitchen to floor and bar staff and the happy atmosphere made for a really wonderful experience.

Inside and patio area fully booked for lunch, so went outside to pizza and bar decking area.Nice pizza, great service, despite notices explaining they were short of staff. Staff still wearing masks, and have daily tests before they work.Pizza and drinks arrived quickly.

Had a great meal there. The food and the service were excellent. Lovely ambience. It was rainy and misty so we missed out on what looked like it would be a great view. Fab that it’s dog friendly … for once we didn’t feel we had to compromise just to accommodate having our dog with us. Xx

Great pub, amazing garden. A wide variety of beer. One of the best pubs in Bath.

Bit overpriced for what you get

Great meal, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

One of our go-to places in Bath with traditional gastro pub fare, but done reliably well. Friendly, professional service, and great views across countryside east of Bath. Plenty of covered seating outside, and frankly loads of pizza-deck seating if instead you fancy a well made pizza from the garden bar rather than choosing from the main restaurant menu...

Good pub grub, lovely staff.

I came here with friends who are local and my wife. The four of us had a couple of drinks, starters and a main.When we arrived we asked if we could be seated outside. They were able to seat us on their terrace which was well covered and had a, really impressive view of Bath.The starters came and they were enjoyed by all, their 3 for £12 deal was well received.For mains we had the fish and chips, 2 burgers and a vegan burger. My wife is pregnant and asked for it well down, and the server remembered this and placed it with her without us reminding her.Really nice meals, all of us enjoyed.The service was brilliant, really attentive and we felt very looked after.Living far away, its a bit of a drive to get to here but in the future it woild be well worth the journey.

Looked really nice. Very clean, smart, with friendly and polite staff. We popped by on the off chance, but you really do have to book in advance on good weather days!

This pub has a beautiful view overlooking the valley. Unfortunately, the pizza I got was not exactly what I ordered. I paid for extra cheese and it didn’t come with any extra. The staff were very not accommodating, they argued there was extra cheese and we did not get a refund for the extra money paid. You also have to pay a tip in advice whilst ordering and at that point I didn’t know what the service would be like. Had I known, I wouldn’t have left a tip. Shame as it’s a lovely pub.

Been going here for over 30 years! Went for brunch the other day. The avocado on toast with a coffee was good. Love the views from the garden. Cakes looked nice on the bar area aswell.

The food was nice, well cooked and presented. An enjoyable birthday for my wife, nice settings especially the outdoors section

Beautiful place with stunning views, typical gastropub prices but very good food, extremely appropriately attentive service, spot on place

Had lovely meal and great views 🍺🍷

Location alone would warrant 5 stars, but the service and menu are top too. This is a great place to slip in for a mid morning coffee, lunch with nearest and dearest, a cheeky pint or something more substantial. Sit outdoors and enjoy one of the most spectacular views of Solsbury Hill and away into Wilts. Snug inside if things turn inclement. This is a popular place, so come early at peak times. (Warning, a visit here could become seriously habit forming!)

Went here to read a book one Saturday morning. Not too busy, nice setting, friendly staff, good prices.

Great food and service. We were a large group and were given a room to ourselves which was great.

Lovely lunch and fantastic views. Very hot today! .... not their fault ;-) Great way to catch up with friends last seen in 2019!!

First time visiting the Hare and Hounds and it didnt disappoint. Amazing views, fantastic steaks and brilliant service from Will. Highly recommend this lovely pub to anyone.Looking forward to coming back to enjoy cozy pub meals inside.

Fantastic place to end a lovely family day. Food was excellent, staff were friendly and attentive, view from our table was spectacular. Sticky toffe pudding to die for. Highly recommended. Thanks.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The desserts were lovely! Highly recommend.

Fabulous location great food and wine would highly recommend . Will visit again very soon. Staff excellent.

Wow! Called to ask about disabled access and although lacking some facilities due to it being a listed building the manager and Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Couldnt be more helpful. Thankyou so much, we had a really lovely afternoon xx

The views alone from here are worth the 5 stars. The service is an extra bonus! Staff are very friendly and approachable. A must visit if you are in Bath! Kuldeep

Superb Sunday lunch, with great views over Bath! Service was quick and very friendly. Highly recommended!

Dont order the steak,sliced so doesnt appear to be of any size and comes with a little bowl of chips maybe 10 chips , I thought that had been given a childs portion not worth the price, saving grace is the view

The best thing about this place is the view. Everything else is zero stars. Below average food and service for above average prices. Clearly overloaded as the staff couldnt cope hence slow service and awful food and drink. Dogs running amok too. Never, ever again.

Delicious food, beautiful view and great service. Had the Vegan Wellington which was delicious!

Great pizza and view but massively let down by very inattentive service in the pizza garden. Could do with a supervisor. Been before and it was great though

Very good pub, very nice inside and has a nice view. It also has an area for the children to play, which is very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone. Also has homemade lemonade, which is a very nice drink. The food is quite expensive but worth the cost so I rate hare and hounds a five star review. Recommended if your in the area.

Beautiful views and venue.Pizza was good.Service was awful

Very disappointed with the service, we had to wait for more than an hour to be served our mains, so we ended asking for the bill and leaving without having our meal. It seemed was quite bad organised. Although the place is alright we won’t come back. The apologised and that is ok, they had lots of staff so no Covid-19 lack of staff excuse would be credible.

Great outdoor seating area, amazing views. Fab pizza and helpful staff.

Very, very disappointed with this pub, I booked a table 6 weeks in advance on the advice of bath tourist centre. I explained to the pub that it was a 50th birthday surprise, and arranged a table inside if it was raining or a table outside if it was a nice sunny day. I phoned 3 times in the run up and was assured and my mind pit to rest that we were going to be taken care of. Unfortunately that was not the case. Had to wait for a table which was inside on a very hot day, and I was told quite nasty there i nothing outside youll have to eat inside. I explained i had arranged a table 6 weeks previous. They could of so easily have reserved a table for our special occasion. Will not be eating there again.

Went for my special birthday meal. Gorgeous food, friendly service. Beautiful view. We all loved it. Thank you. And leave the beer garden alone Bath Council! This pub has suffered enough during Covid and it is not exactly messing up anyone elses view. We are locals and it looks fab and is an asset to the area!

This place is excellent. The view, the food, the amount of tables available. Cant fault it. Came once on a whim. Cant wait to return.

Good food, great service, weather was rubbish but felt safe indoors as the tables are well spaced in between

Lot of money spent on the exterior of this place looks amazing. We ate alfresco, a bit chilly but the views are spectacular. The service excellent and food to match.

Good food,beautiful place, perfect ambiance...the staff are all so nice and accomodating

Great views over Bath. Food not bad. But I thought the menu was poor. Service slow

I was so so excited to eat here after hearing about it from friends and seeing the view, but I was thoroughly disappointed. We arrived and sat down, the staff were good at taking us to our table and taking our drinks and food order. Our starter came on time and was good, however, after this things began to go downhill. After waiting for over an hour for our main we asked where the food was and the waitress told us that we were next. We waited another 10 minutes and the food was brought to us; however, it wasnt our food... they brought us another tables food. After this, we waited a further 20 minutes before I asked where the food was again. We were told that two more tables were ahead of us (even though wed been told this already). When the food finally came, the waiter spilt my food. Part of the food went on the floor. They took the plate back to the place that it was served from (I assumed so that they could fix it) and then proceeded not to touch it and just bring it straight back. We could see the kitchen from where we were sitting so we were able to see they hadnt touched it. When I asked whether they were going to do anything about it because they had dropped the food, the first waitress lied and told me they hadnt, even though wed seen it happen. The rest of the waiters then went on to suggest that only a little bit of food was dropped so it didnt matter (which was irrelevant). After waiting so long for our food we were told we could have a discount/ free dessert. When it came to paying the bill though, no discount was given. This was such a shame because the food was nice, but the service was terrible. If they were so busy food took an hour and 40 minutes to come, surely they should have let fewer people book tables rather than make everyone wait too long for food.

Best nut roast Ive had in a while! Amazing views from the terrace too. Great place overall, highly recommended!

Really cute pub! The views were epic! Even in the rain this place is charming! We thought the food was hearty and the service was fabulous! Everyone was so polite. Such a calming atmosphere! You should visit this great pub if youre headed to Bath!

Food was okay, portion size was smaller than expected and didnt refect the price, also extremely salty. Covid regulations were in place and tables were cleaned regularly however, tables were very crammed together so the rules seemed redundant. Stunning pub and stunning views although Im not sure that is a good enough reason to visit again.

Big covered outdoor space with a great view over the hills.

Delicious pizza and fantastic views over Bath! Lots of outdoor seating, covered tables close to the pub require booking, but lots of tables by the outside bar do not

Pizza was burnt on the base, but nice taste. Staff happy and willing to get what was required, sauce salt etc. Would visit again but need to reserve a table for inside.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Will definitely be back

Had a lovely afternoon with good friends sat out on the new decking. The only down side, no real ale and limited choice of cider.

Nice outside eating area but my Wife coffee(decaf Capechino) was awful. Would of expected nice pub like this to have decent coffee machine

Where can I start:1) arrived sat overlooking beautiful countryside, drinks order taken, 10mins in had phone call from this restaurant asking if we were going to turn up, husband explained already here, girl who signed us in came over and apologised.2) still waiting drinks order 20mins, finally arrived.3) I ordered Risotto with chicken, skin still left on chicken, Risotto not hot but luke warm, husband had fish & chips which he enjoyed. Waited 20mins for meal. I did not complain about meal because I would have been waiting another 20mins + in that time husband would have finished his meal. I thought lets try and enjoy, ordered sweet whichwas very nice. Couple of girls serving were too busy chatting to customers for at least 10mins about dogs/children/customers home in country etc instead of serving, its fine to be friendly but other customers waiting ages for drinks etc, couple next to us complained about there food not happy at all. This place was fully booked up quite a few weeks in advance. Just say I was disappointed.

Wow what a scenic location. Clara was FAB & really looked after us. Lovely sunny afternoon with wonderful food with a G&T of course!

Fabulous views over Bath, great food, but if you want an indoor window seat you really need to book ahead. They are very popular. Outdoor seating is nice but very exposed. Bring a fur jacket!!!

Spacious pub providing outside and inside dining.Wheelchair friendly though I didnt see a ramp so will some assistance to navigate a few steps.Great food, great wine selectionHad the braised ox cheek which was lovely. (The larger of the meats is actually ox tongue) very well cooked.Didnt have a chance to look at the childrens menu though there were children there so there must be one!

We came for breakfast, and the coffee and eggs Benedict were fabulous; just the right amount of runny, and and perfect acidity from the vinegar.

Unbelievably beautiful setting with plenty of outdoor seating space and breathtaking views. Service was a little shaky but we understood they had recently hired new team members.

Whatever the season, the views from the Hare & Hounds are always draw-dropping and stunning. The number of photographs taken of the valley and surrounding hills, must run into the hundreds of thousands by now.But there are some not often repeated moments when, after a heavy snowfall and then the sun is shining, the view takes on an enhanced meaning of spectacular.Wife and I were here this lunch time just for a beer (the place IS on the Cask Marque Ale Trail) and to take a few photos that we knew others would enjoy. To actually HAVE lunch here, early reservations are a requirement, the place is more than just popular. The galley has an ever increasing appreciation and reservations are made early from patrons coming from ever further afield.Not so for the beer however. The place is supposed to be, as already mentioned, on the Cask Marque Ale Trail. This is not something easily achieved. Out of some 40,200 pubs, only just over 8000 have been accredited as having a range of beers that are perfect in appearance, colour, taste and smell. As well as a £200+ fee, unannounced inspections of all the beers (usually a minimum of three) are conducted on two occasions before a Certificate of Accreditation is awarded.And this important Certificate is what we on trail need to scan with our Smartphones’ to review the beer and register our visit.In this respect than, the visit to the Hare & Hounds could have been better. There was only one ale for sale, Butcombe (the right side of average) but no certificate.The kitchen was doing well though, all tables reserved and the place filling up nicely.

I went for a walk and it was the only restaurant nearby. Although the food was not cheap, it was a beautiful restaurant with great views. Atmosphere was bright and comfortable.

Love this pub. Great views over the hills with a good outdoor area, either the garden or the terrace. In the summer the outside bar is a great addition. There is a good menu and good selection of beers. Theyve implemented clear Covid restrictions to keep things running smoothly. All the tables are spread out and masks must be worn when not sitting at the table.

Love this place , love the view , staff are great....been here many times and would usually give this place a five , but thinking the chef has had an off day , cause it was not up to its usual standard...slow cooked pork belly was barely warm , though the flavour was good.

Good pizzas and good service in their outdoor bar, and grateful for the shelter of the marquee top when the rain came. Spectacular views.

Did not cater to disabled people cant believe the steps this person had to negotiate to enjoy a drink then was told they did not serve food where we were told to go, not a great experience coffee was cold the brandy ordered to go in it did not arrive until after the coffee was drank, but great views

Great views, but pizza was expensive for what it was (£14 for a burratta pizza but with only half a burratta because they had run out?!), and cocktails were pretty awful. Service okay but took three requests for me to be served the pizza I had actually ordered and paid forby which point my family had finished theirs. Such a shame because the location is stunning.

Disappointed in the dessert. Very small.

Great food and excellent customer service.

Had lunch here today, didnt make a reservation but they fitted us in and allowed our e bikes in their staff room while we ate, excellent service, amazing food, little touches that go along way, definitely recommend and return, thank you

Have been a few times before an always liked it...however service really slow waited hour an 40 min for main course ..thought the menu was a little bland an over priced for standard of food...but beautiful setting with great views. May go again but would check menu first.

This is a lovely pub on the edge of Bath with stunning views . We just had one course each but it was delicious . I had the fish and chips which was cooked to perfection - the batter was light and crispy. We sat on the sun terrace with views of rolling hills . Excellent service too !

Fantastic pub!Gorgeous views and food.Staff really friendly and accommodating.Would definitely recommend their battered cod, chips and mushy peas

Amazing lovely pub good food fantastic views would recommend

Great place for a long lunch on the sunny terrace. Gorgeous views

Wonderful place. Came here for a birthday and booked ahead as it was evening. The waitresses were lovely and kind, even though it was busy. The food did take quite long but was lovely. So I had the sirloin steak, which was perfectly juicy and nice, we also had the risotto which was delicious and fish and chips which also tasted great. To finish off I had a chai tea which smelled divine, although I do not know if they serve a chai latte, which I like a little better and would have rather wanted. The location is stunning and prices are very reasonable for a gastropub. Will come again for coffee.

Even though the weather was cold, the service and staff were warm and welcoming. Food was perfect and with a wide variety to satisfy everyone and anyone, no complaints at all, and will be visiting again

Really great for date nights and lunch with the family. Great food, service and the children loved the play area.

DJd at an amazing wedding at this Uber cool gastropub! The views over the valley were insane as we all partied well into the night! The atmosphere was incredible and the staff were really friendly!

Stunning place, families friendly, very welcoming, great value for money
