The Hare And Hounds, Leyton, London

So we popped in for a Sunday roast. It's a very pleasant environment and very friendly staff. No issues there. Rugby to watch and plenty for the kids to do. On seeing the menu which was pricey but not a surprise as a Sunday roast is never cheap these days especially a pub in London. But it was nudging up to £20 per person. So we expected more than we got. What we did get was very tasty but with a potato each, as in two halves, half a carrot each and parsnip each with two slices of beef and a frozen Yorkshire pudding does not make for a £19 roast! I'm only pointing out that I don't think this is value for money. We'd have been more than happy and I wouldn't be writing this review but for a few more veggies to warrant the price tag. This to me lacks long term thinking. We probably won't be back as the other pubs in the area offer better bang for you buck. Who knows maybe we're being unjust and they were running low on supplies. If you were, perhaps pass on a discount.

A social pub that’s family friendly with a garden, fireplace, pool and quiz. Believe there was a change in management since 2023 and the service has been super friendly! Good selection of beers, plus the burgers, wings and pie were good quality. Would suggest rethinking the Caesar salad though! Needed a bit more love.

I love this pub and used to love the food too but for the last few months it has been disappointing to say the least. It’s poor quality and overpriced. I don’t mind paying a bit extra for a good burger but theirs is expensive and not great!! Please bring the old chef back!! I will continue to go there as it’s a great pub but won’t be ordering food any time soon.

Great decor, with a beautiful back room. However, by early evening, the toilets can be smelled from outside, unless it's the many dogs that the pub positively encourages. The tables are sticky. The food is actually good, but served on planchas and greese-proof paper, which is just disgusting. Do they not wash up? They certainly don't clean the tables properly.

Terrible food. So salty it tasted sickly, stay away if you have high blood pressure. Beer battered cod was very over done, fryed to death. Fish inside was like paste and triple cooked chips are actually skinny fries. I'm local and I won't be eating there ever again, nobody seemed to care and was not a pleasant anniversary dinner.
