The Hare and Hounds, Leyton, London is a long established pub at 278 Lea Bridge Road. Distinct bar areas, a large garden, pool and live entertainment give it the feel of a traditional community local. Current weekend food comes from 4Chi at The Hut, an African and Caribbean fusion kitchen operating from the pub premises.
Honey jerk chicken is a defining flavour, served over crisp loaded fries with house sauces or in a rice bowl with jollof, salad and plantain. Wings appear with jerk, hot honey and other seasonings, while burgers and smaller bites provide straightforward options over drinks. Vegetarian loaded fries and rice bowls ensure the selection is not limited to meat.
Curry goat brings tender slow cooked meat and island spice to rice, fried plantain and fresh salad. Larger platters combine jollof or rice and peas with jerk chicken, suya beef, grilled lamb, wings, chips and vegetables for sharing. The generous format suits families and groups gathering at the pub over the weekend.
Beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks from the pub bar complete the experience, while the garden adds valuable outdoor space in warmer weather. Children have smaller meal combinations and several sides can be ordered separately. The Hare and Hounds brings together the social character of a Leyton pub and the lively seasoning of 4Chi’s soul food.
