Hare & Hounds PhotoThe Hare & Hounds is a destination venue situated in the delightful village of Old Warden on the Shuttleworth Estate.  Swiss style, thatched cottages and pine trees make up the village and there is always plenty to do on the Estate with a falconry, Swiss gardens, plenty of walks and events such as craft, classic cars and air shows during the summer months.  There is a warm, inviting ambience with friendly, helpful staff and the furnishings offer comfort with seating upholstered with a plethora of materials, instead of hard wood chairs.  It makes for a place you can relax, converse and really enjoy visiting.  Log fires are set blazing during the colder weather just to add to the luxury of your visit here.  Top quality cuisine is on offer and is prepared from fresh ingredients using local produce, including pork from the estate.  Food is cooked to order and our menu is regularly changed about every two weeks.  Fresh fish dishes are another option and during the summer on Thursday nights we have special fresh fish nights.  A bar food menu is also available which offers you traditional bar meals, prepared and served to our usual high standard.  A comprehensive wine list, with the inclusion of wines from the local vineyard, is available to choose the perfect one to accompany your meal. In the warmer months, you can enjoy super views from our garden and patio area.  With numerous awards and prestigious recommendations, the Hare & Hounds is certainly a place you will want to visit again and again.  The welcoming team look forward to seeing you soon.
