"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."

Fantastic roast as always. Took the family out and was so well looked after. Adam and Toby are amazing and the waitresses. Nothing was to much trouble. X x x x x x

If you are looking for time away then The Harvard inn in Stock is the place to come. Everything was clean and tidy. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much.

we visited the harvard inn last night for my mamas 70th birthday and had a fantastic time. the food was delicious and the staff could not do enough for us. we were a great table of 17 and the subordinates of all our desires could not praise. more for making such a fantastic evening. in any case would go back and recommend others.

Lovely ambience. Very buzzy this evening, couples, families,friends… sums this place up. Great place whether you’re having just drinks or food. We stayed for dinner, perfectly cooked steak with peppercorn sauce and lamb with goats cheese and beetroot, delightful. Staff are lovely, attentive but not...intrusive. Would highly recommend to locals or those visiting the area.

Needed a base for a weekend with family .We had travelled for 7 hours so we were greeted with a very enthusiastic member of staff ,and was given room 2 .This was a delightful room overlooking the road .The bathroom was very newly decorated and...very clean ,although the loo seat would move !! We ate on the first night in the restaurant which was fabulous .Very good value and great service .The breakfast was well presented and delicious.We had three nights here and will certainly return soon . Stock is a great place for walks and has a lot of fabulous eating places.

We booked this as an overnight stay on our way to a trip to France via euro tunnel. Room was clean and cosy bed slight hard and pillows flat/hard but room, bathroom and bedding/linen was clean etc. We were unable to have evening meal...as we arrived late due to travel issues so unable to comment on food. Our over night stay was not as restful as it could have been as fellow guests were allowed to sit in seating area which is situated below room windows drinking and partying until early hours we’ll past 1am. Disappointingly this wasn’t challenged by any staff of the Inn. Needless to say this won’t be a place we will be frequenting or recommending.

last night had a nice eating in the harvard to celebrate the birthday of our daughter. the first time we had eaten there as a family and the food was delicious. large service and a very courteous cook that ensured that the milk and wine allergies. have been taken into account (brighten everything that could be chosen and adjust the courts if necessary). it was a Monday evening, so we asked for a table in the bar, as there was more atmosphere. Portions are generous and we all tried something else and agreed that all were cooked for perfection. sometimes the village inn can feel a little clicky with locals, but we certainly did not feel comfortable here. we'll be back.

Stayed for two nights in room one, visit for a family funeral. The room was clean, super huge bed and well appointed. The staff were lovely and all so helpful. We had two excellent dinners and amazing breakfasts. The diner menu is varied and excellent,...and the choice was great, we had beautiful mussels, a huge stake pie which we couldn’t believe the size of, with super veg! The list of home made ices was long and excellent. We loved the mango and passion fruit and raspberry sorbet, and also the lemon and ginger tart. The satay started was super as well. I enjoyed the special bouillabaisse with massive amounts of fish on the first night , and we both loved the cooked breakfasts which were h...

"I was appalled at the quality of service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, which was about When I arrived I was not asked if I would like a drink, and I wasn't asked throughout the whole meal. The waitress should have seen on the table that we only had tap water, and asked whether we'd like another drink. Then, we ordered our first round of hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minutes for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. At this point in the evening there were three full tables in the whole restaurant so I thought the amount of time we had to wait was poor. Then the food started coming over, but the food didn't come altogether. A couple of dishes came and then a few more and a few more after that. This meant we didn't all eat together, we ate all at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they didn't arrive at the same time. Very disappointing. The third order of hot food was beyond a joke. It was clear that one of the two waitress wasn't feeling very well (I overheard one of the chef's telling her to go home). She was our waitress. So, we ordered the third round of hot food. minutes later we still didn't have our food. In this time the chef was talking to the ill waitress. I then pressed the help button and I explained that we'd ordered some food and had been waiting a rather long time. I then look round at the waitress and chef and it was absolutely clear that the order didn't go through so it was only then that the food was starting to be cooked. The waitress who took the order explained that there's been lots of issues and she was sorry. As a customer paying for a meal, I don't care about the issues, I still expected good service and my food to turn up. Overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not be visiting this restaurant again and I will not be recommending the restaurant to anyone."
