Country pubs don’t get much better than Hare & Hounds. The charming pub can be found just a short drive from Chelmsford and has become a cornerstone of the local Braintree community, who have come to depend on their quality drinks, warm hospitality and delicious pub classics. And, best of all, its laid-back atmosphere makes it perfect for casual dining with friends or family.
No pub is as popular as Hare & Hounds in the summer. Locals love its outdoor terrace, which features huge parasols for sitting in the shade and comfy seating for al fresco dining in the sun. The interior is just as cosy, with a contemporary style and large windows that give it a bright and airy feel. Staff are also very attentive and will make everyone feel right at home.
There’s no reason for peckish guests to go elsewhere when they have everything they need all under one roof. Hare & Hounds’ kitchen will sort them out, with a pleasing menu of British gastro-pub classics that offer something for all tastes. Past seasonal dishes have included burgers, fish and chips and braised lamb shank.
For top-notch dishes and great service in Braintree, nothing tops Hare & Hounds. This dining experience will be even more memorable for Gourmet Society members, who will find savings off their bills when they present their cards upon arrival and call to book ahead. It’s the best excuse to order dessert, a few starts to share with friends or another round at the bar.
