    The November menu was excellent and great value. We enjoyed a wonderful birthday celebration for our friend’s 80th but would not have been able to afford - nor wanted - the £55 festive menu. Thank you for keeping this other set menu. Great service.

    Interesting to visit this place again for the fifth time after some changes both in ownership and personnel. There have been a few tweaks, but the essential concept remains the same. The changes are all very positive and, crucially, the quality of the food - the ingredients, attention to detail, flair, imagination, presentation and service are all first class. The kitchen continues to excel - in fact this was possibly our favourite visit of all. The front of house - Kate and Milo - did an excellent job of explaining and describing the various dishes, ingredients and wine pairings. Friendly, informed, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The relaxed, positive atmosphere genuinely enhances the dining experience. Great stuff! Thanks!

    Many choices on the menu. Something to please everyone. Generous portion sizes. Cocktail list excellent. Really lovely wait staff. Friendly, cheerful and efficient. The decor is classy. Can't recommend highly enough. Would recommend the steak tartare, prawn cocktail and smoked mackerel pâté. I had a really good crab linguine. Meat is obviously a strength of Harry's restaurant. Everything perfect!
