Harry's Bar & Kitchen in Aylesbury Vale

Genuinely surprised about the reviews on here as both my wife and I came away thinking this was some of the nicest food we had experienced at a hotel. My wife had pasta and I had beer battered fish and both were genuinely excellent. So used to hotels offering the same old thing, for us this was a really nice surprise and an added bonus to a nice spa day away from the kids. Would happily recommend to anyone. Service was attentive but a little on the slow side but nothing terrible.

We had to wait an hour and 10 minutes between finishing our starter and the main course arriving and even that was only after reminding staff that we’d ordered main courses — they only started cooking it on being reminded. We weren’t offered any drinks during this time either. The manager ultimately knocked the drinks that we did have off the bill but it still cost £100 for a meze platter and two pretty average rib-eye steaks (they were cooked well but the starting cut must’ve been quite underwhelming, small and fatty; more Wetherspoons than Hawksmoor).

The food was nice and well seasoned. Our waiter was really friendly and did his best to make the experience a good one but it took a long time for the food to come out.

Lovely place for brunch/lunch with family and friends.

Harry's is the one stand out at Horwood House which actually delivers service and quality. While it is fairly expensive (like everything else at Horwood) it actually puts in effort to justify that price (unlike everything else at Horwood). The food was of high quality, well presented and tasty, the service was good, the price is perhaps a little higher than reasonable.

Excellent restaurant, calm atmosphere and excellent service

Possibly one of the most disappointing meals I’ve eaten My partner and I opted to have our lunch in the Spa’s own dining area, to allow us to stay in our robes. We started with the Beef Croquettes which were awful. They were soggy on the outside, dry inside, and completely lacked flavor. They were sitting in, what tasted like a, disgustingly cheap American nacho cheese - far from fresh sauce!!! Despite our reservation being at 13:30, we didn’t receive our main course until gone 14:30 - sadly it wasn’t worth the wait either! I opted for the Harry’s Club Sandwhich, which was truly awful. The bread was plain, stale and dry, the bacon was nothing but flavourless FAT, and the lettuce was wilted. The sandwich was poorly assembled, falling apart as soon as I picked it up. The chicken was supposed to have a ‘peri peri’ taste, but frankly it was very tough, bland and dry. Overall, it was a disappointing and unappetizing experience. Avoid this sandwich at all costs. My partner ordered the Caesar Salad, which was slightly more appealing but missing the Caesar dressing! Both of our dishes were sadly very dry and unappetising. A fellow spa guest, sitting next to us also agreed which is a real shame.

Lovely dinner. One steak, chips and peppercorn sauce, one delicious salmon. Very tasty food. Lovely environment. Excellent service.

Fantastic food, Quality is on point. Cooked to perfection. Ran out of one dish but that's to be expected when locally sourced product. Service was appalling, very very slow from the waiting staff, 20 minutes for 1 pint and 1 glass of prosecco. Maitre d did comp us two free drinks as ours turned up with the food. Bar staff seem to prioritise people standing at the bar opposed to seated tables. Overall a pleasant experience if very over priced for alcohol. Added note, bar staff are very slow. 15 mins just to order. It's a wednesday night.

Not too bad but also not the best experience.Great desserts but squid quite oily ,lamb salty and a bit too tough.Nice and cosy place.Good service.

Good dinner. Excellent dessert. Good value for a celebration meal. Cheers!

I stayed at the hotel for a 2 night spa break. End of Nov, food was ok but service was very sketchy. Servers were rushing around doing the best they could whilst busy and understaffed. Management moaned at servers a lot but never chipped in to help out. Some small tweakes would make this place much better. Matthew (18 year old) was amazing, very attentive and friendly despite the bad management he was receiving.

AFTERNOON TEA I am so disgusted by the cost of £35 per person for what we got. Four each finger sandwiches with hardly any fillings. A very good sausage roll which was made by the hitel chef and not Harry! Too many rich mini cakes and two scones. You should be ashamed! This was an unacceptable afternoon tea. A friend had previously made a complaint but it was too late to cancel - unfortunately. The best part was our waitress - Sylvia.

Really loved the starter Barrata and the ale haddock fish! Would defiantly recommend! The dessert was a delight 🤤

Service a little slow and erratic, but the food was good with an excellent menu.

Food was great service was slow to start but built into a great evening
