The Leaping Hare

Absolutely wonderful meal at The Leaping Hare last night. First but definitely not our last visit. The food was exceptional, the service spot on. Each course brought new flavours & new twists on tried & true flavours. Quality food & beautifully presented but definitely quality over fanciful whims or over the top presentation. The flavours were rich & offered depth & interest. Highly recommend the hare (the confit was out of this world & the Sea Buckthorn Pavlova exquisite) Service was very personable & professional. Could not fault a thing. Fabulous meal, wonderful evening.

The Leaping Hare is becoming one of our go to restaurants, great quality food and service. The building is large but gives a lovely atmosphere and does not echo. One lovely touch is the shop which sells a large array of items and of course Wyken's wines (yum!) Is open until the restaurant shuts - really nice as you can take a break between courses and buy all sorts of things - like my wife did Saturday 😀. Highly recommended!

Stumbled across this place by googling restaurants nearby when leaving banham zoo. Lovely wee farm and location. The main restaurant was full so we had some pizza. The pizza was delightful! A lovely chef who really enjoyed his job and making new recipes. I had the lamb pizza and it tasted incredible. Rally blown away by the margarita as well. As good as if you were in Florence Food Market. Really nice staff. Delightful place to eat. They have a market on a Saturday morning. Worth a detour to visit.

What a restaurant :) Our 4th or 5th visit and sat here enjoying the wood burner and a very fine glass of Wyken produced cocktail. If you have never eaten here then make the detour it's definitely our favourite restaurant and we're 70 miles from home. Fantastic menu of British classic dishes with locally sourced ingredients served in a beautiful English setting.
