About the Menu

The Old Butchers Cafe & Bistro at The Hare & Hounds Pub offers a menu that reflects the charm of a welcoming, village café with a touch of bistro flair. The food is thoughtfully simple and comforting, perfect for casual breakfasts, light lunches, or relaxed afternoon stops. Whether you're starting the day with fresh coffee and a hearty Butchers Breakfast or enjoying lighter options like smashed avocado on sourdough, the menu suits a variety of appetites and times.

Guests often come here to enjoy well-prepared classics in a cosy, inviting atmosphere. The menu features satisfying staples such as eggs Benedict, club sandwiches, and freshly baked scones, alongside more spirited choices like tarte tatin or the chef’s daily picada. Complementary sides including proper chips, balsamic onions, or hummus add a little extra to the experience without overwhelming the simple, thoughtful approach to the dishes.

This is a place where food feels like part of the everyday rhythm — whether it’s a leisurely brunch after a countryside walk, a casual meet-up with friends, or a peaceful moment alone with a good coffee. The relaxed vibe of the cafe and bistro pairs naturally with a menu designed for comfort and ease of enjoying good company and good food.
