Hare & Hounds, Bitterne (Closed)




Modern estate pub owned by Punch Taverns. It was built in 1963 at the same time as the Harefield council estate. Children accepted, but no meals and no cask beers offered. I've been in once and had a cheap keg lager. There wasn't much in the way of comfort, atmosphere or conversation, but it was OK. However, due to location, and what the pub offers, I see no reason to go back. This is just a local's place.

Drove past today and it's gone. There's a fence around the site, so they'll be building something there soon.  Checked, and it was demolished in November 2017 because vandals were getting into the empty building, and so it was thought to be unsafe. The council hopes to include a community cafe or micro pub in any future building plans.  Apparently it closed  late September 2916. So it was already closed when I first published my review. Looking at my photo, it appears I visited in the early part of the year, before the leaves had grown on the trees.
