The Hare, Roxwell

I came with a friend for a meal at the Hare this evening and have to say that in general its quite impressive, - although the table service we recieved left a lot to be desired. We sat near the bar front and were served by a rather snobby young lady, who genuinely seemed as though she didnt want to be there, and her attitude was unfriendly and almost standoffish. Aside from that, there were a lot of things she forgot, its called SERVICE for a reason!! The bread (which is actually a lovely touch) came out a while after our starters - this happened to another table near to us as well.
we had to ask for our cutlery to be replaced , twice, as she forgot. Our main course had been waiting in front of us for nearly 5 minutes. We generally felt as though she didnt care at all about our experience. We expected a lot better service as the place isnt cheap. Aside from the unfortunate table we were given, the hare is lovely.
We enjoyed the food, and the wine menu is varied, the rest of the staff seemed very happy even though they were much busyer, and the bar man was cheerful and helpful.
We will visit again, and tell our friends about the good food,but will warn them not to sit by the bar.
