Hare & Hounds, Hopton
Ribeye steak, Twice roasted Duck, Cannelloni and Guinness and Beef Pie. All rather good. Cheesecake and chocolate brownies rather tasty. Apple juice, red and white wine all satisfactory.
The big problem was the starter. For £10-95 we opted for a Messe starter. Baby camembert, smoked salmon, King Prawns, Chorizo and chicken liver pate to share. We were told there was no camembert but they would compensate by increasing the other parts but. ..
There was no salmon; the King prawns were 15 small shrimps, Chorizo was 7 thin slices; Chicken liver pate was a teaspoonsworth. All served on a bed of lettuce with a few slices of toast. To charge £10-95 for this was criminal. If they had indeed increased the volume of other parts of the starter then they must serve very small starters. I did mention this at the till while paying but apart from apologies nothing was done.
Another restaurant taking it easy. Before this visit I had used this place many times and it was always good. This was very poor. Doubt if I'll go again.
