Hare & Hounds Inn in Stourbridge

So, I had a wander into the Hare & Hounds Inn recently, and it's one of those places that just feels right from the moment you step in. The staff are proper stars – always up for a chat and making sure everyone's looked after, which really adds to that homely feel. It's spot on for families too; there's a nice play area outside, and from what I've heard, it's turned into a go-to spot for parents wanting a relaxed outing with the kids. The drinks are fairly priced, and the food's a treat – think tasty meals that leave you satisfied without the hefty price tag. On the flip side, though, their website's playing up, so it's not the easiest to get the lowdown beforehand, and the opening times can be a bit muddled, which might catch you out if you're not careful. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back pint or a bite with mates, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just keep those hours in mind!
