"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."

"I booked this table for our first Valentine's date meal. We went into the hotel which looks really nice I was like wow not what I expected nice decore and smartly dressed staff. We then checked in at 1565 at 8.15pm we was taken to our table where we sat for 35minuites before the waiter came and asked if we would like a drink so we ordered. After we relieved the drinks we ordered our food we had 3 starters a main which was to share but was the size of a child's meal for one and we then had a dessert which should of been to share that came out tiny we ate 1st starter then we ate the 3rd then our main came I then asked the waiter in a polite manner why we did not receive our 2nd starter he said so sorry I didn't no so went to find out. He came back 20mins after with our 2nd starter then we had to wait another 25mins for our dessert we where starving after all of this. We was told that it is £40pp with a glass of rose, but as me and my partner do not drink alcohol i called up in the afternoon to swap it for soft drink which I was told that's fine u won't pay for your drink brilliant. Cut a long story short the bill came to £110.37p it's a good job my partner had his card with him as I only took £80 with me this is what we was charged. £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £6.00 ×2 small cokes £8.60 Service charge £15.77 VAT How can they tell you £80 then though all these bills on. I called up the next day as my partner did not want me to make a scene I was on the phone from 8.30am till 3pm on and off to try and sort the problem then to have to message my partners account number, sort code, 16 digit card number, security code and expiry day. Received no email from manager it was all done by text from his personal phone. Very unhappy customer and very unprofessional staff. I would never ever recommended this restaurant to anybody and I will be putting my point across to everybody."
