"Oh dear, this didn 't go well at all. I had high expectations given the previous reviews. I used to eat here but hadn 't been for years due to changes in ownership. Our starters were pleasant (I had cheese chunks and only had 2, which was a little disappointing, whilst my friend had fried shrimp and had about 6). Her main was the duck breast, and I had steak. This was when it started to go wrong! The food was lukewarm (tepid, even). I didn 't feel inclined to complain as it just lovely to be out with my friend. When I enquired about her duck, she said it was a very strange texture, so I tried it ... it was like eating mushy pate. It had no substance or solidity at all. At this point I had been eating around the outside of my steak, saving the middle bit as this is my favourite. Unfortunately, when I got to it, I found that it, too, was mushy. The waitress had told us when I ordered medium rare that it was not available as the steak was put in a water bath beforehand to make it tender and so medium was the only option. I believe that she was referring to sous vide , and when meat is overcooked by this method, it does become mushy. The waiter did relay our comments to the chef, and we did find that the charges for the meat had been removed from the bill. We still paid for our two potato side dishes which we hadn 't eaten because there hadn 't been anything to accompany them, but never mind. We tried to order coffee the waiter didn 't know if they served decaf (turns out they do). I asked for a floater coffee but he didn 't know what that was so I said that if they didn 't do floater coffee, I would just have a coffee with cream. He came back to say that they don 't have cream. I asked for Earl Grey tea, which they do have. I was then served Breakfast tea. They did then change it for Earl Grey. In the end, my friend and I had an enjoyable evening out, and laughed at the events of the evening. But, to be honest, I think it is highly unlikely we will go back because part of the pleasure of a meal out is to actually eat and enjoy the food, which didn 't happen on this occasion."

New owners are great. They’re dedicated to making this pub stand out from the rest in Wanborough. Excellent selection of beer/wine and the food we’ve had so far is superb.

I plumped for the three meat roast (beef, pork, lamb), which came with yorkshire pud, crackling, several roasties and parsnips, and an excellent selection of veg (red cabbage, mashed swede, carrots, beans, peas, tenderstem broccoli), gravy and accompaniments. A good range of starters and desserts and 3 real ales on. Highly recommended.

Have used this pub several times and every time the experience has been amazing. The staff are all friendly and polite. The pub layout is fantastic and gives a real homely feeling with many outside areas to explore. The food is just beautiful. The portion sizes are brilliant and the variety of food is fantastic, there is something for everyone. I really like the fact they allow dogs in aswell as this is always a massive plus for myself and my family. View menu

My wife and I wanted to pay a visit to support the new Harrow. All necessary covid precautions were in place and we felt very safe. We had starters, mains and desserts all of which were very enjoyable along with drinks. Having a sweet tooth I loved my pear and blackberry crumble..delicious. Our waitress was really friendly and provided a very nice service. Its really sad to see how much hospitality is suffering in the current climate. Would recommend the Harrow, we had a really nice experience and will come back again.

We visited the Harrow inn on a recommendation from our son and we were not disappointment. We had a delicious Sunday lunch that was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! The fresh vegetables were served separately and there was plenty of it. One of the best I’ve had out in a very long time. The price was really reasonable and we were also impressed with the price of drinks. We sat in the restaurant area and all the staff were really friendly and the service was fast. The place has a really nice, friendly, country pub atmosphere and we would highly recommend you visit. We will definitely be returning soon!
