The March Hare is in the Manchester suburb of Cheadle Hulme. The town has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, with its current range of architectural styles the perfect setting for this traditional country pub. Decor-wise, The March Hare embraces this ethos, meaning there’s a stone floor, low sloping roofs and plenty of armchairs by the fire.
The food menu covers familiar ground. To start, you can choose from the likes of king prawn cocktail, oven-baked garlic mushrooms or soup of the day. After that, options include fish and chips, and the signature burger, which is topped with maple-glazed beef brisket, streaky bacon and Monterey Jack cheese. Modern additions to the pub menu are represented by chicken and vegetable Penang curry, greens and grain salad, and seared fillet of sea bass. On Sundays The March Hare serves a roast. Meat options are turkey breast, beef sirloin, belly pork or lamb rump. Pigs in blankets are also available as a side all year round.
For vegetarians, there’s a candied vegetable roast. All roasts come with garlic and herb roast potatoes, thyme-roasted carrots, glazed parsnips, broccoli and unlimited gravy. The desert menu sticks firmly to the pub classics. Highlights are sticky toffee pudding, apple, blackcurrant and cherry crumble, and mulled fruit Eton mess. There’s also a kids menu and a fixed price lunch menu.. In addition, the whole menu is available on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
Those celebrating can also take advantage of a set menu. This offers two courses or three courses, and includes the likes of duck and orange parfait to start, 10oz rib-eye for main and chocolate brownie for dessert. The March Hare is part of Vintage Inns. All pubs in the network are dog-friendly and can be booked in advance.
