The Hare is a family-owned village pub with a food-led spirit and an inviting sense of place. Its current menu presents a broad pub kitchen selection, from nibbles and starters through mains, sandwiches and puddings, with vegetarian options, allergen markers and a Sunday menu. Seasonal dishes, pub classics and Sunday roast traditions add plenty of reason to settle in for a leisurely meal.

Inside, several cosy areas combine polished traditional furniture, comfortable seating, potted plants and local prints and photographs. Natural light opens onto a sunny little terrace, while the front terrace offers an appealing spot for summer evenings. Guide descriptions also note a crackling real fire in winter, adding to the pub’s snug character when the days draw in.

The Hare feels rooted in Farndon’s village identity: a relaxed meeting place close to countryside and the river, with the easygoing character expected of a local pub. Whether joining friends for food, pausing for a drink or gathering around a Sunday table, it offers a polished yet welcoming backdrop for time well spent in the village.
