    Met a friend for lunch. My food was poor to average. The chicken kiev was very dry with no garlic butter or other filling. The green lettuce wedge was inedible. I should of complained more at the time as it was not up to the standard I would expect. Service was very good but the bar area is noisy when busy.

    Hi Keith, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet expectations—especially the chicken kiev and lettuce wedge. That’s certainly not the standard we aim to deliver, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’re glad to hear the service was a positive part of your visit, though we understand the noise in the bar area can be disruptive when it’s busy. Your comments have been passed on to our kitchen and management teams so we can make improvements. We’d love the chance to welcome you back and provide a better experience. Kind regards, Natalia

    Food was really good as always. Love the newish lamb roast option although it would be great if it still included a pig in blanket. Also service from Nathaniel was amazing.

    Fabulous meal at the lovely Hare and Billet. I had the curry which had just the right amount of spice for me and was delicious! My partner had the seabass which was cooked to perfection. The staff always get it right. They're attentive and they know their menu. It's reasonably priced and offers a good night out. Thank you.

    As usual the food and service here were excellent. It's a great place to come for all walks of life and it’s so welcoming. We had two roasts today and a burger. The food is fresh and perfectly cooked and the cauliflower cheese is so good. It has a great range of drinks and the isle that with here are so nice.

    Great location, we wanted Sunday lunch and having the dog with us we booked a table and on arrival the staff were so welcoming. Great selection of cask ales so would recommend The Hare of the bed beers, lovely pint. We all had roast beef which was absolutely delicious, good portion size and pipping hot. Will definitely be going back again soon.

    We had a great meal at The Hare and Billet. The menu options were good, it was particularly nice to see a good range of vegetarian and vegan choices. The staff were lovely and the service was excellent. The general atmosphere is really nice. It is a little pricey but on par with other pubs and restaurants in Blackheath. I would definitely recommend.
