The food & drinks were absolutely delicious. Food portion sizes for what we ordered were generous, more than enough for a substantial brunch/lunch.
Drink sizes could be larger for the price, but we did order the 'fancy' ones, normal drinks may have a better size to price ratio.
Christmas decorations were still up when we visited, and whilst they were were pretty, for us they took away from the actual theme/feel of the place as they were very over the top. Perfect for Christmas lovers though I suppose.
The only gripe I have is with the service, whilst staff were absolutely lovely.. we needed more time to decide on our order and after 15min our waitress hadn't returned to take our order. We noticed she was just standing around talking to other staff.
It's a small thing..but service is about being attentive to your tables.
We also visited their bakery next door...highly recommend!

This cafe is an absolute delight!
I love Alice in Wonderland, and the subtle, charming theme is evident in every detail throughout the space.
The food is fantastic—super yummy with genuinely large portion sizes. If you get an add-on (like avocado or bacon), you get a fair amount, so it's totally worth the price. The coffee is also high quality.
I'm impressed that the quality here has not dropped over time.
A special mention: The Christmas decor is stunning and instantly elevates your Sunday morning brunch to a whole new, festive level! Highly, highly recommend!

Stunning cafe / restaurant, with a great menu. The drinks were delicious (although in the pricier side for the size), the food was also super good. The place itself is extremely well decorated, possibly the best I’ve ever seen. You felt like you were in a magical wonderland. Would highly recommend trying this place out.

Hatter and the Hare has a fun Alice in Wonderland decor and the food was good, but the experience was let down by service. Parking took a while and, even though I had called ahead to say I would be 15 minutes late and was told it was fine, the staff still pointed it out when I arrived. Service was slow too. Nice food and theme, but the attitude and parking delays made it less enjoyable. Also with a theme like this, some kids’ activity sheets or coloring pages would have been a great touch.
Family Friendly

What a wonderland of food and drink!!! After following The Hatter & the Hare for quite some time, it was high time we made the epic trek to taste the goodies on offer. They didn’t disappoint, the burgers were next level, both chicken and beef and the cakes were almost too beautiful to devour. (But we did with pleasure). It is very busy so book if you can. Our waitress was patient, attentive and extremely efficient. Parking onsite is tough but worth the wait or park on the street. Totally recommend you make the trip to Bayswater 💯 worth the long journey to experience it.
