About This Pub

Ah, The Harrows Inn, it's one of those pubs that you stumble upon and think, 'This could be a gem,' and in many ways, it is. I've got to say, the decor really stands out – it's got that quirky, welcoming feel that makes you want to settle in for a chat. The cocktails are a treat, and the beer is always nicely chilled, which is just what you need on a Friday night out. Plus, when the staff are in good spirits, they're dead friendly, making you feel right at home. And let's not forget, some of the food can be spot on; I've heard tales of fabulous meals that had people raving and promising to come back. It's in a great location too, easy to reach, which is a bonus if you're driving through. But, and there's always a but with these places, it's not all smooth sailing. Service can drag on, leaving you twiddling your thumbs while waiting for your mains, and there are stories of staff not really caring when things go wrong, which is a shame because it sours the experience. The food's taken a dip for some, with a few meals being downright disappointing, and you might find yourself feeling pushed out the door as closing time nears. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual get-together, but I'd say go in with an open mind – the good bits make it worthwhile, but be prepared for the odd hiccup. If you're a fan of local pubs, it's definitely one to check out, just maybe not for a special occasion until they iron out those kinks.

Cons

  • Food quality isn't always up to scratch; a few folks have had disappointing experiences, like an inedible steak and ale pie.
  • There have been times when staff come across as rude, especially if you're raising a concern, which puts a damper on things.

Can understand now why it’s empty ! Definitely not going back. Their home made steak and ale pie was inedible. Told a rude member of staff who seemed use to complains and wasn’t interested in the slightest

Booked for 8 people, no issues there, the pub was quiet and it took quite a while to be served our mains. The food was nice, nothing special, the service was a let down, we waited with empty plates on the table while 3 members of staff stood behind the bar looking at one of the servers phones. Were asked if the food was ok. Never once asked if we wanted anymore drinks. We also found a hair in the chocolate brownie (they didn't apologise but they took it off the bill). The brownie was overcooked. The Eaton mess was a let down, frozen fruit and a cheap meringue served with cream. Not a great experience all round. I was so looking forward to coming here as well. May visit again in the future but only if things change.

Lovely little pub. We have driven past 100s of times never released they actually done food ( a clear sign would be a recommendation) we popped in just for a drink. Lovely decore and love how the toilets have been designed. Cocktails were lovely and beer was nice and chilled. The young lady and her staff member who was training on our visit was both friendly and welcoming. Camper van friendly with meal or a few drinks. Charging points at most tables too. I couldn’t comment on food as we had already eaten but the menu looked great. And all very reasonably priced. Will will be back for food soon

It's a bit sad to write this as this is a really nice pub, but of late not so good. Food use to be exceptional, the pork belly sandwich when on the menu was amazing also burgers. Menu has changed and I think the chef. Lately, you feel rushed to leave as it's so obvious that they are waiting to close if it's quiet. Hope all this changes soon as miss the way it use to be.
