Hare & Hounds in Coalville

Oh, let me tell you about the Hare & Hounds – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles from the moment you step in. From the reviews I've seen, folks are raving about the food; the cottage pie and Sunday lunches sound like absolute winners, with plenty saying it's quality grub at fair prices that leaves you wanting more. It's got that classic traditional charm, dead cosy and welcoming, especially if you're popping in with the dog or the family – they've even got bouncy castles to keep the kids happy while you sip on a well-poured ale. The landlady and her team really make it special, being so hands-on and creating a lovely, personal atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up. But, to be fair, it's not all beer and skittles; there was that one off review where the fish and chips were a bit of a disaster, leaving a bad taste and making someone feel ropey, not to mention the cost feeling steep for it. Still, with an overall rating pushing 4.6, it's clear the good far outweighs the bad, so I'd say it's well worth a visit – just maybe steer clear of the fish if you're feeling adventurous!
