March Hare, Broughton Hackettback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Driven past loads of times but never ventured in. Until tonight, after completing a walk in the area and looking for food.
Looks like we found the right place!
Monday night, and the car park was packed. Wondered if it was a some sort of village meeting. Turns out they have launched the £5 monday night carvery and all of worcestershire had come out for tea!
Fair play to them - excellent quality and value.
Three real ales on and I tried a Ringwood Mauler. Found it very odd but not had it before. Very cold and a taste/head like a smooth pour. Big fan of Ringwood but this was more like a John Smiths.
Worth it for the food/service - which were both excellent.

Our second visit to the March Hare and seemingly not much has changed in the past couple of years (and I mean that in a good way). Excellent carvery, good beer and a very quick turnaround to get your food. This place remains busy even on a very wet day which is always a good sign...

We stopped here by chance on a Friday lunchtime coming back from a holiday in Wales. The carvery was fabulous - huge amounts of top quality food. Beer seemed to be very well kept although I only had 1 pint of EPA. Unlike other reviews we found the service to be excellent - nothing was too much trouble and when we found we were too full to eat dessert they packed it up in plastic boxes for us to take with us! This is definitely a foody pub though...

Rating wold be ten for the food especially the excellent carvery. However the landlord is now having a laugh with the price of the beer. It has always been above average for the West Midlands even for a country pub but since the refurbishment it has become ridiculous. Last week paid £3.75 for a good guest ale but less than 4% strength. Even Banks' Mild is well over £3 so now make one pint last with the carvery meal and move elsewhere to drink.

As the last reviewer found, this was not the pub for a quiet pint. Clearly a place aimed at diners, there is a huge restaurant with a carvery and this is where we sat on late Saturday night as the bar had the local youths playing pool, loud music, I'm a Celebrity blaring out of the TV and no seats left apart from bar stools. The Wychwood Dog's Boll*cks was an expensive £3.75, Hobgoblin and Bank's Mild were also available.

Excellent carvery. Choice of pork, beef and turkey. Lovely fresh vegetables - they don't keep large amounts hanging around to go limp and dry. Eaten Fish and chips and the faggots here too, all good value. Never got to desserts as too full after main course.
Most importantly the beers are good too! Doesn't seem to be the place to spend the evening over a quiet pint, though there is a bar just for drinking to the left of the front door. Mainly people go here for a meal and I can't argue with that. At peak times booking is advisable.
Staff welcoming too.
