Hare & Hounds — Restaurant in Hyndburn

First time visit today with a group of ladies for afternoon lunch, pre-booked our table & pre-booked our food order's. We waited 35-40mins for our food, I had to go & ask if it was being prepared. On our arrival the table given was directly below a loud speaker, on several occasions we had to ask the bar staff to turn down the volume as we couldn't hear ourselves talking, we were only a party of 9. Once food arrived it was superb, large portions, very well presented, the Chicken roasts were half a chicken! I ordered a starter as a main Nachos Beef Brisket cabbage cheese all the trimmings, it was a massive portion, I was very surprised as were the other's, but the beef was cooked to perfection 🥰. Most ladies managed to finish their plates, I couldn't, the staff had wrapped left chicken to take home which was lovely. Overall the pub is very spacious, car park at the back available, food on the menu is good, large portions, good communication via telephone enquiries & pre- ordering. There's lot's of Sky Sports Screens around the venue too staff. Staff are young & 2 member's came across as slightly rude on 2 occasions on the shopfloor, which was a bad experience. It was quiet on our arrival & other parties continued to arrive after us, which is a positive, & shows it's popularity. I would recommend this pub & hopefully just small...

Food was well below par. Don't get beer battered onion rings with the burger. Was told ir's a typo after they brought our food and didn't get any compensation for it. I told them that they should have told us that when we ordered. The bacon on the burger is not maple matured pancetta as stated, it is a thick rasher of back bacon with the fat left on not enough binding ingredient in the burger, and slighrly over seasoned. The fries came with salt on. We weren't asked of any allergies. I can't eat that amount of salt. No sign up reminding of customers to state their allergies or intolerances either. £14 for a burger n fries is ridiculous! Don't mind paying a high price ina restaurant and getting onion ringstooi, bŕut this was well over priced, nd it is only worthy of paying a few quid. Would be better going to...

Well, what can I say, firstly my cheese and onion pie was delicious, no complaints there. However, my partner's Sunday Beef Roast dinner was terrible. The beef was so tough he was unable to eat it, the carrots were dry and shrivelled, the parsnips were raw and hard. Two of the other people in our party had exactly the issues with their meat and veg. When we discussed this with the staff they just said they would let the chef know. I was taken aback as there was no apology, no means of making it up to us. We were asked as soon as our meals turned up if everything was okay and we had barely even started to eat. My partner said this is the worst meal he has even eaten and we have eaten in some dives. Would never go back there to eat and would strongly advise others not to waste...
