Brockenhurst & Beaulieu
The Hare & Hounds
Durnstown, Sway, SO41 6AL
At a glance
A food-led village pub in Sway with a home-cooked menu, local sausages from the village butcher and changing chalkboard specials. The pub openly advertises an extensive gluten free range and asks diners to mention dietary needs when booking.
Gluten-free options
The menu marks a genuine spread of dishes gluten free, from stuffed chicken breast in stilton sauce and lamb's liver with crispy bacon to homemade beef chilli, ham egg and chips and a Keralan vegetable curry, with chips and cheesy chips also listed gluten free. Prawn cocktail, Caesar salad and jacket potatoes can be adapted.
Before you order
The menu is honest that the kitchen handles wheat and cannot guarantee against contact between allergens. Chips are marked gluten free, which hints at careful frying, but the arrangement is not spelled out, so raise it when you book.
Worth asking?
Your chips are marked gluten free — are they cooked in a separate fryer from battered items? How is the gluten free available baguette or bread kept apart from ordinary bread during prep?
