Review Hare & Hounds - Sway

Loved everything about the H&H. Food, service, staff, location, outside seating, mammoth bar chairs, good beer selection and reasonable prices given today's climate. Meal for 2 including a bottle of wine (£24) and 2 pints, £64. Stunning example of a Sunbeam Tiger in the carpark just finished the evening off superbly.

A great pub with a large car park and friendly staff. They served a nice pint (a local ale which cost under £5 a great price for the area and it really hit the spot) and the food was good, hot, filling and not over priced. I sat in the spacious beer garden which has plenty of tables and was bathed in sunshine during the early evening.

Absolutely incredible. Couldn’t speak of it highly enough and will definitely be back. We booked for lunch at 12pm and are glad we did, it’s clearly a very popular pub and got very busy with people dining by 1.30pm. The food was delicious! Great portions and was impeccably presented. The decor of the pub was also brilliant, very relaxed country pub style with a touch of modern and some entertaining signage also. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal team and we hope to be back soon.

Great pub in the heart of Sway, a stones throw from the New Forest & Brockenhurst. Good selection of pub classics including several burgers, salads and also pies. They have a specials board home to New Forest specialties including venison and game. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Lovely and welcoming! Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a countryside pub. 🍻🍔

Lovely pub that's just outside the New Forest. Lovely atmosphere, helpful staff and quick service. We had a table booked for 11 of us so they do take bookings. The decor is quirky but all associated with the countryside, horses, beer/pub drinks, hares and hounds. Staff were friendly, polite and had a sense of humour - which is always a good thing. They got all 11 meals out at the same time within about 20-25 minutes of ordering (we ordered 9 different dishes!) it was impressive. Food is more expensive than I'd expect of a pub (£13.95-15.95 for most mains) but portions were extremely generous and food quality was great. They have specials each day which were on a board.

On holiday in the area last week and came across this pub. Friendly welcome and a great choice of tasty food. Make sure you check out the specials board.

Visiting on a rainy Sunday evening, I was warmly welcomed as soon as I entered the door and offered a choice of tables. Before heading to my table I was asked what drink I would like. Delightfully they offer 3 different ciders which is nice. Soon after sitting down my cider was bought over to me. Food wise I went for the Beef Lasagna, which after a short while arrived. I can only say that it was one of the best I have ever had. It was rich, tasty and filling. The garlic bread was also delicious, so far so good. I was then tempted in to having sticky toffee pudding, which was equally delicious. The bill came to £26 which I thought was very reasonable. The staff here are wonderfully welcoming and warm, being very helpful. I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone visiting the area!!

A lovely, extremely dog friendly pub with a great menu of pub classics. We had a sausage baguette and a pulled pork baguette. Both were yummy and really reasonably priced, and the waiter bought treats over for our pooch!

Super meal and service was spot on . The quality of food is excellent here, the welcome and service was cheerful , timely and didn’t intrude , and the value for money is amazing . Busy on a Thursday eve with locals which is good to see. Lovely atmosphere. Recommend the Admirals Pie !

This was our first visit, even though we live quite nearby. I’m sure we’ll be visiting again. It’s clearly very popular, it was pretty busy early on Thursday lunchtime. But they quickly found a table for us (with our wet dog). Very impressed with prompt and friendly table service, a choice of good ales, and tasty scampi & chips.

Lovey Pub 🍻 Great Food, lovely staff and a nice warm atmosphere. We had our 2 dogs with us and felt very welcome, water bowls provided and no fuss. 10/10 👍 I recommend anything they have created themselves from the menu, everyone at our table was very impressed. I had the Hare and Hounds chicken and mushroom and it was divine 😋

We didn't book but managed to get a table. Service was good. The pie was perfect, the pastry was buttery and generously filled. Husband's gammon and chips were really good too. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place with a very welcoming staff. We read reviews before we came and were not disappointed. We had fish and chips (which was recommended on reviews) and chicken Hair and Hounds Style. Everything was delicious! Humorous plaques made our day after driving today to Sway from Midlands through torrential rain.

An excellent lunch. An interesting menu with food that was well prepared and presented. Portions are generous. The Turkey Schnitzel daily special was excellent. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. We'll be back.

Lovely old fashioned pub, dogs allowed too. Took a while for someone to take our food order, we'll worth the wait. I had a gorgeous fish pie very tasty with lots of cheese on top. My husband had gammon, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

I visited this place on Father's Day, with an expectation of the place being rammed and service perhaps being a little slow (understandably so). However I was surprised. It was fully booked, yet service came with a smile by all the staff. The food is honestly some of the best I've eaten, and the desert was amazing. The pricing was very reasonable too. I also love how the pub still has it's charm. It's how it should be, and not the fake old that you get from chains. Will 100% be visiting again, and often if I can. Thank you to all staff reading this ❤️

Both of us had Turkey Schnitzel with salad, chips and coleslaw. It was a massive, delicious plateful. Everything was presented beautifully and even the chips were crisp and tasted sooo good. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed both our visit and the food.

This is a lovely place to wine and dine, kid friendly and dog friendly, lovely country pub is very busy in the evening, so it would be wise to book ahead in advance. Nice food to, yes would recommend the Hare & Hounds. Lovely outdoor dining area,to the side of the building all lit with lovely lights in the evening, a smoking area to the right hand side of the entrance too, kids menu too and dog beds and covers are offered to your pooches too to use.
