Pub of the Week: Hare & Hounds, Todmorden
Originally built in the 17th century as a farmhouse, the Hare & Hounds is now a smart, comfortable dining pub, with flagged floors, cosy tartan wool-upholstered benches and sepia photographs of old Todmorden. A cosy room at one end has wooden panels and dark beams – a great spot for a private party.
There are four cask ales, including Lancaster Bomber and Craft Crusader, with one non-Thwaites beer, Sadler’s Mellow Yellow, an Indian Pale Ale.

Hide AdA good-looking menu runs through the week from Monday to Friday (2 courses for £12) and features the likes of black pudding bonbons, char-grilled Haloumi, and Thwaites beer battered haddock fillet and hand cut chips. Sandwiches are served daily until 4pm. The sharing platters are fast becoming things of legend: choose between seafood, Mexican and vegetarian.
Outside there’s a brilliant beer garden and, with a Thursday quiz night, monthly live music and Family Fun days it has something for everyone.
