The Hound Small Bar

Edge Hill’s The Hound Small Bar champions the art of the simple, savoury and satisfying. With a compact footprint and a European-leaning sensibility, it focuses on good bread, fine cheese and thoughtfully cured meats.

The menu opens with toasted sourdough, glossed with honey-bourbon butter, a sweet-savoury whisper that feels both indulgent and grown-up. Comfort comes to the fore with toasties, from a classic cheese marrying English cheddar with Swiss to a salami and double brie pairing lifted by chilli honey.

Cheese and charcuterie are treated with quiet respect. A creamy French double brie sits alongside silky Spanish jamón, while bowls of hummus, beetroot and feta add colour and contrast. It's an edit designed for nibbling and sharing, each bite landing with intention.

With its small-bar sensibility and easy charm, The Hound is made for lingering evenings and good company. It's the kind of place where simplicity shines, rewarding those who settle in and savour the details.
