The local pub which we loved has closed and is waiting for a new owner (The Crown at Buxhall).
I would say that The Leaping Hare is a garanteed great place to have Sunday Lunch.
All day opening, seasonal menu, daily specials and an extensive wine list, you can enjoy good food from local, regional suppliers. The menu also changes regularly. An open fire, oak beams and furnishings compliment the traditional 17th century building, creating a warm cosy feel.
The Leaping Hare – Wyken IP31 2DW
Where possible they try to source ingredients from within a five mile radius, so the beef and lamb are local and where possible from the Wyken farm. Wild game, venison, pheasant, partridge, rabbit and pigeon are from the estate and fruit, herbs and vegetables from the kitchen garden.
The restaurant is all part of Wyken Vinyards and you can also visit their Farmers market, shops and sample their excellent own wines
Here is the run down of local places:
The Dog – Norton IP31 3LP
