About The Hound & Hare
The Hound & Hare Pub and Restaurant is a family-friendly country-style establishment located in the historic village of Swinburne, Free State, positioned near the N3 highway roughly 18 kilometers south of Harrismith. Operating inside the old Swinburne Store building originally constructed in 1909, this fully licensed venue is part of the Riverview Country Inn property and serves as a midway stopover for motorists traveling between Johannesburg and Durban.
The venue features an indoor fireplace, outdoor dining areas, a sports viewing screen, a kids' television room, and a swimming pool, while welcoming dogs in the outdoor seating sections. Open daily from early morning until late evening, the kitchen serves an a la carte menu featuring items such as all-day breakfasts, traditional curries, homemade pies, and vegetarian options, with free on-site parking and digital card payment facilities available for patrons.
