The Hare & Hounds

Lovely place! We're so glad we checked it out. The vegetarian options were pretty good & the menu choice including the specials is enough to satisfy most people's taste buds. I'd have gone for the market fish dish, which sounded amazing, but it sold out. I went for the halloumi stirfry in sticky soy glaze instead, served with warm pitta, chunky homemade chips, salad and coleslaw. It was delicious. The only thing I'd have changed is the coleslaw as it didn't go with this dish. Hopefully, the chef/owner might make an adjustment to that. Being a stirfry, a small pot of rice would have complimented it much better, alongside the chips, pitta and salad. My partner had a burger from the specials board which was 2x Aberdeen Angus patties with pulled pork, cheese, and even some bacon. It was a huge burger, and the photo doesn't do it justice. He said it was really good! I think it should have come with a side salad like most burgers, but it would have been wasted on him lol. If you're a cinder track user it's ideal to walk on lighter nights, have a little food and a couple of drinks, and either walk or bus it back. We'll definitely be returning and will likely be able to rate it even higher with a bit of consistency & a bit more experience to go from. Lovely job guys! Thank you.

We stayed at the nearby campsite and ate here a couple of times. First time was just 5 of us, the following night we had a group of 15. On both occasions, the service and food were exceptional. There's a lovely convivial atmosphere in the pub, and we will certainly visit again next time we're in the area.

Couldn’t recommend this place more! Owner is a really welcoming and a great host. The food is worth every penny everyone ate something different and everyone said it was the best food they had in a long time! Will definitely return when in Yorkshire. (If in doubt get the prawn and mussel linguine it was amazing!)

More than just a country pub, it's a hub for the locals and for all the visitors that pass up and down the coastal road and trail. It's got a warm and welcoming atmosphere very well staffed and if there is not enough room inside its got loads of outdoor seating. The food 🍲 and drink is excellent with plenty of choice and it was a pleasure to have are Anniversary dinner with you while staying across the road at Swan Farm. You can't beat a village pub.

Found this little gem whilst out on a dog walk. We returned for tea and it was amazing, steak and ale pie the best I've tasted. Hubby had the Aberdeen Angus beef burger off the special board which had black pudding, bacon and cheese on top. The chips were delicious as was the homemade coleslaw. The staff were friendly and efficient, the atmosphere great with locals happy to welcome us. We'll definitely be back. Cheers Amanda & Paul

A fantastic pub! The owners/ landlord/landlady have got this place absolutely spot on! The service was great , very polite and proficient staff The decore is perfect band looks newly done The atmosphere great The food amazing, plus great real ales too! My husband’s favourite, Strongarm! Toilets spotlessly clean Can’t recommend this place enough

The Sunday roast was full of flavour. Excellent gravy and nice veg. Unfortunately my beef was a bit tough to cut through and a little bit of fat on it (personally not a fan of fat). However, this wouldn’t put me off going again as it was definitely nice food. I found the chairs a bit uncomfortable though!

Wow what a gem of a pub. My husband and I are on our last day of our holiday at a site 1.5miles away and decided to try the Hare and the Hound pub for lunch. Well worth the walk. Lauren was so lovely from get go. The food was amazing. The pub is absolutely gorgeous in side. The Toilets are tastefully designed and 100% clean. Portion sizes are exceptional. Food beautifully presented. Good choice of drinks. We will definitely be popping into the pub next year when we come back to Whitby. We purchased Steak Mushroom pie with Chips & Mushy minted Peas. My husband said it was all exceptional. I had Cheese Nacho's with added pulled pork. Best I have tasted! I did send my compliments to the chef via Lauren while dining but I would like to add a Huge Thanks on this review to the chef for producing such spectacular food.
