    Went for a midweek lunch.The food was great but although very friendly, the service was extremely slow, especially as we were the only ones eating on that day! Because the food was so good we will give it a try another time.

    Really nice place. Friendly staff, easy parking, reasonably priced food and the best Steak and Ale pie I have ever tasted!

    For a Friday night, in the height of summer this pub was pretty quiet and lacked atmosphere. My husband and I were the only ones in the entire pub. The outdoor seating was great and the cocktails on offer were nice. I had looked at the cocktail menu online prior to coming and had chosen one in advance, however when i arrived the menu was completely different. The lady behind the bar said it hadn't been updated in about a year. She was able to make me a really good cocktail though. We also had dinner and whilst the menu looked great (again wasn't the same as what was online) the food wasn't very nice. The chicken was very dry and overcooked and the prawn starter was very dull- just 3 prawns and a slice of bread, no sauce, no butter. I also had the risotto starter and the rice was hard and the dish lacked flavor. To say we were the only ones eating at 7pm, i would have expected a great meal! The staff were lovely and the service was good but the food really let the place down. I would come back, but only for a drink.

    This was our first time dining at the Harvard. Certainly would recommend this for a lunch time get together for friends and family.

    disappointed with the food. We had Sunday lunch, Pork and Crackling, when the food arrived there was no crackling on the plate or veg with the dinner, when asked about these items the waiter came out with a dish of veg that was not very hot and also very hard, He stated there was no Crackling. The dish was advertised as Pork and Crackling but we weren't advised of no crackling before being served the dish or offered an alternative.
