"Planning a day trip to London involved a lot of Google maps and researching places that did vegan options that weren't too far from Victoria. We ended up picking Pimlico for breakfast and I'm glad we did. I really like the atmosphere of the cafe. The are only two options from what I could see, and I went with the mushroom on toast, which included spinach and avocado too, and it was delicious. The flavours worked really well together. The other option was coconut porridge. They also did a really lovely cup of tea with oat milk! Tea can be a bit hit and miss, but this place delivered. Updated from previous review on 2023-06-23"

"today harvard inn (22 October) visited with friends for lunch and drink. we received not the warmest reception, 3 young girls working from the bar, but were more interested in their phones than actually a service. when we came to our table, there were no best or serviettes. we waited 15 minutes to take our food order and ask for a wine list. then we had to wait 10 minutes to order a bottle of wine. when the weeping was overlaid, he was left on the table, we were not offered to try it and it was not poured for us. waiting for eating was long, 35 minutes for 2 x sausages and maic and 1 x fish and chips. When the food finally arrived, there was no cute yet. we had to ask that, and it was just in a stack on the table. the fish and chips were very good as the sausages and mashing. until a human hair was found in the maic! the waitress came over and took the food with an empty expression and murmured an apology. we waited for some time again that teller will be taken away and ask for the bill. also here it took at least 10 minutes to pass. I wouldn't worry about waiting, but the bar was absolutely empty! halfway through our meal came a table of 10, there were already cutlery and serviettes laid and water was provided. the staff seemed to be much more attentive to this group. I am incredibly disappointed as I was already in the harvard inn and eating and the service was impeccable. Not sure if there is a change of hands or if there is a lack of training. the young staff seemed to have no idea, and as already mentioned was more interest in chatting and their handys. I am grateful that the meal with the found hair was taken out of the bill. sad to say that I don't return."

"Victors have changed it is more like a tapas style restaurant where dishes arrive at different time. Just very unorganised some people in the party received their food minutes after the rest of the party had finished. Waitress was nice and very pleasant but the kitchen were unable to accommodate any slight change to a dish. Wouldn’t go back or recommend"

"Went to The Jolly Fisherman on Saturday evening. To be honest, I 'm absolutely not a fan of pretentious restaurants but I think there is a problem when places over sell themselves. We had booked ahead obviously and following the reviews, we were really looking forward to it. We ordered a crab salad (included a side dish of fries) and a seafood platter from the 'specials ' board. This included a couple of oysters. Neither dishes were bad, they were just extremely ordinary, taking into account the cost both were about £30 a pop. There was plenty of crab, but the salad was something you 'd get in a very ordinary tearoom. The chips were dried out probably hanging around, being kept warm for a while. The special seafood platter was similar ok, but not exceptional. We ordered a trio of small puddings, which included a chocolate mousse that was absolutely solid, you could barely penetrate it with a teaspoon. The concept of a mousse, 'a dish made as a smooth, light mass ', having been missed. The bill for the 2 main courses, the shared pudding, one bottle of wine (in the lower price range) came to £110. Really don 't feel that price ticket was justified. Ordinary pub meals with extraordinary prices."

"we decided to visit the five arrows for lunch after we enjoyed an excellent afternoon, but we have remained disappointed. the foods were averaged for the total price compared to others operated in the region. the service was sometimes very slow. while we enjoy a cozy lunch, we felt the waiting time for teller between the main course and dessert to come out, and especially for the bill was exaggerated (the first question for the bill was forgotten, so we had to ask again what the entire waiting time was about 30 minutes.) contempt to details about dinge like after spuns with our coffee frame in asking and not going with a spoon. all those we were supposed to have preferred from the manager on the one hand. I believe they expect a certain standard to be met when they are dining here and unfortunately today it really is short for us. we also feel that all the things were considered and given the waiting times experienced that in this case the 10% service fee on a table for two was unfortunately not completely justified, but we paid regardless of that it came to an experience. it's a real shame when we waited a series of weeks to come for us and it just didn't fulfill our expectations."

"After receiving confirmation from OpenTable with the code 822102241, my wife and I arrived at the restaurant last night at 7:20. Despite our reservation, we were told we did not have a booking. After refusing to sit at a coffee table in the lounge, the manager was able to find us a table in the restaurant and offered us a complimentary drink to salvage the situation. However, our troubles did not end there. When we ordered the beef, we were not asked how we wanted it cooked and had to send it back because it was too rare. Our dessert took 30 minutes to arrive, prompting us to ask the staff if there was an issue. Finally, my wife had to ask for a glass of wine 15 minutes after initially requesting it. Despite some minor issues, we were still charged an additional 10% for the lackluster service. We have been patrons of this restaurant for over 20 years, both as a couple and in larger groups. However, after last night's experience, we are unlikely to return. In recent years, there have been new establishments in the area that offer comparable or even superior service. Last night's service at the restaurant was truly disappointing for what should have been a special occasion."

"My daughter and I ate from the Christmas menu here on Monday. We both had chicken tempura for our starter which was so delicious. I had the turkey for my main. The turkey was extremely tender and the overall presentation of the meal was first class. My daughter had the burger which she thoroughly enjoyed as well. We both then had the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. This again was absolutely beautifully presented and tasted amazing. First class service from the hard working staff and just simply a special Christmas experience. The restaurant was also beautifully decorated and just added to the charm of the occasion. I honestly would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. I’ve ate here a good few times in the past and have never been disappointed. Well done to all the staff and compliments to the chef for their superb food. Merry Christmas to them all."

"Food was overheated and dry especially the fish pie. Little choice of veg beyond mounds of kale and two fingers of carrot. Disappointed having dined here before and enjoyed the food. Given the simplicity of the food it wasn’t good value for money and adding a service charge regardless of the dining experience is presumptuous."

"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."

"This is a really nice restaurant whose lunch menu provides great value for money. While it's not made clear on the lunch menu itself, you get both a starter and a main for £9. The portions were good sizes and we all thought it was really delicious and authentic tasting food. This is one place where we will definitely go to again. The ambience is nice and the waitstaff we had was attentive and friendly."

"By far and quite simply one of the best meals I have had in a long time. My family were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked in. The waiter was first class in taking our orders and his interaction with our young son. The food quite simply was brilliant, each member of my family said there meal was stunning. The deserts as well were top draw, especially the Vanilla Cheesecake with the Amaretto base was one of the best deserts I have had in a very long time. As we have just moved to the area we shall not only go back for another meal, but also make use of the pub next door as they had a fine selection of Italian beers Adnams ales. Thank you so much. Five Stars"

"The hotel bar area is a pleasant place to have a drink before your meal, with comfortable seating, suitable music at comfortable volume and interesting black and white photographs. The bar staff seemed busy and it was several minutes before anyone acknowledged us seated at the bar waiting to order drinks. The meal itself was very good, cooked well and well presented. The service was a little slow and we did wonder if they were understaffed on our Thursday night. We made several attempts to catch the eye of any member of staff fleeting by in order to ask about the menu, more water, more bread etc. No one came to 'see how we were getting on ' or if we required anything else. Topping up of glasses was done by staff on 1-2 occasions only. However, the staff were pleasant and smartly dressed. The toilet facilities were excellent. Overall, I would dine again."

"At the arrival we had to wait as they couldn't find the booking. When ordering one of my guest asked to have the chicken breast without sweetcorn and after the waiter came back saying the chef explained the sweetcorn is the main ingredient in the menu as it's cooked ways and not having sweetcorn would alter the original taste of the recipes, my guest asked if something else could be added instead. When the food was delivered the staff didn't ensure we had everything we needed, salt and pepper were missing and a check back wasn't given throughout the dinner. The chips were dry and far overcooked, the RibEye was uneatable, the duck breast was tough, chewy and overcooked, the haddock dish was oversalted. Everything was a complete disappointment and not worthy all that money!"

"Brilliant. In the middle of the world Cup an oasis away from the Football oiks Yes it was shown on a TV (no problem with that) but doesn 't over-rule everything else! Not a huge range of ales, but the Pies make up for it. Superb taste, and plenty of it. Will definitely return."

"Although not terrible, I can't say that I would rush back to this new gastro pub. The restaurant was about 1/4 full at 8pm on a Monday night. The service was good no complaints but some essential items on the not huge menu were not available (the burger! and the special of the day was roast beef in a bun which, we realised upon ordering it, was probably Sunday's leftovers in the hamburger bun! It wasn't bad but not great. The cocktail menu is lovely and we didn't sample the desserts but they looked appealing. Hoping that once the external scaffolding is down and the loos properly finished, this new Venue will attract more people and will lift its game and become a popular local. All the ingredients are there...but it's not there yet."

"Mothers Day... we have just got back from Reids and I'm rather disappointed. We have gone every year for Mothers Day and up until today it's always been lovely. Today: half hour after arriving, we still hadnt ordered our food and had to ask someone random waitress to take our order. The service was so slow. It was rather disappointing. I appreciate it's a busy day but I could see other customers getting frustrated aswell. No crackling came with our dinner which was meant to be apart of it. . The potatoes were hard and had no flavour. The pork loin was thin pieces of meat that would have worked better in a sandwich. However the dessert was blinding. Shame it was tiny! It took so long for each course to come out that it equaled to 1 course per hour. And I think this is unacceptable for the amount of money you're paying. I'm afraid to say that next year we will be going somewhere else!"

"I have booked a table for 7 people around 19 clock online. I received an online confirmation as well as an email to confirm our booking. when we arrived, the employees said they had no record of the booking. the restaurant was only half full so that they could put us anyway. it was a Sunday and we had chosen the place, because their sunday roast was well sounded and served until 9 o'clock. When we sat down, we said they fled from Yorkshire puddings. within 10 minutes they came and took the Sunday menu away and said it was not available now, but we could still order from the standard menu. my mother in law asked if it was possible to swallow chips for kartoffeln with the torte and was said no, the kartoffelbrei portions were already assigned to other meal times. at this point we went. the personal tried to seem too sympathetic, but were annoyed when we left when they had poured out a few of the beverage order. the restaurant looked like a good place, it was a nice environment, but the menu was expensive and other diners could be heard complaining that they had waited a long time, although they were not busy. we were understandably really disappointed by all the experience."
