Little Harp in North Somerset

The view is brilliant outside, a nice play to enjoy the sun set. But it always seems to be understaffed, wait times at the bar are always long and plates are never cleared after eating. Fish and Chips was very tasty!

Excellent venue. I'm a Bristolian now living in Australia. Also a connoisseur, of Fish 'n chips, worldwide. I've travelled in USA, Hawaii, Barbados, South America, England, France, Spain and Morroco. I've tried F & C, everywhere. The Little Harp, takes some beating! Friendly staff, the manager, Steph', and Lisa, nothing was a problem. I'm coming back to England in 2026, and this place will be definitely on my itinerary. We'll done, keep up the good work. Cheers, Terry Whitchurch.

The food is better than the average chain pub. The big, big problem is the wait for food. It is understaffed

Getting threatened for police to called on us and bikes taken because we are under 16 even though we have ordered food here before without an adultt

It is a nice and very popular place right next to the beach, especially on a sunny day or a nice evening. It is a great place to watch the sun set, it can get very busy which causes long queues at the bar. They have an outside bar, but I have only ever seen it open a small number of times, this may be due to staff numbers as there is often a table or two outside filled with used glasses when I is busy. We have eaten there a couple of times (different management each time), and he food was OK, certainly nothing bad, but when there is a nice sunset and you have a window seat in te restaurant it adds a real extra something.

Great and Polite Staff, very fast service even when busy and very tasty food. Thank you!

Saturday night had table booked for special occasion. 10 minute wait to be seated and told to wait as table service. After 35 minutes asked to order and told we should order at the bar, explained we were told table service then finally a very overworked young man profusely apologised as he was the only person taking table bookings. A further 35 minutes and starters arrived - cheese sharer, crispy squid and creamy mushrooms all ok. Followed by very average mains, fish ok chips cold, hard pastry on mushroom and ale pie, burger ok. £118 later needless to say we won't be going again.

Visited with my mum & 2 sisters for sunday lunch. Food came out warm & poor quality (frozen roast potatoes) Told staff but nothing done. Understaffed, table service poor, had to go to the bar ourselves for drinks as wait too long.

Waited in queue at the bar for half an hour and when I got to the bar I was told no food order to be taken. Poor customer service and pointless buying a drink when we only can to eat. Do not go here

£42 for x 2 burgers and 2 alcoholic drinks. Ate in the bar area as no tables available. Staff collected glasses but never once did we see anyone wipe a table. Our wobbly table was a sticky mess so we washed it with a napkin and water and the napkin was filthy. Food arrived and the waitress asked if we wanted any sauces to which we asked for ketchup and salt. This never materialised and nobody was available to ask so we ate food before it got cold. The 'cheeseburger' had very little cheese which could barely be seen as it had melted away and the bacon was mostly rind, bit very many chips either and a salad garnish wouldn't go amiss. Would not recommend.

Just went for a drink. Good enough. Back to have 3 courses. Ruddy lovely

You only get one star because of your location. But honestly the atmosphere, lack of staff clearing away plates, average food, poor service and not keeping the outside area clean. It just let's you down. This place with its views could be amazing, you just need to improve your service, food and overall standards of the place.

Reserved an outside booth online, phoned to try and speak to someone to confirm, no answer, left voicemail and got no call back, good start. Only wish I could review the food. Arrived, went to an outside booth, but in all honesty only think it was only free due to being full of old plates, glasses etc. That's fine, after 5 mins asked someone if they could clear for us, nothing. Then asked somone else 10 minutes later. Yet again, nothing. Waited a further 10 minutes and gave up and just left. Brilliant service.

Fish and chips were poor, would get better quality fish by casting a rod in to the marine lake. Had to search far and wide for cutlery and condiments to be able to actually eat the meal. Ice cream must’ve been served by a toddler because they gave us a portion that wouldn’t have even satisfied a 3 year old. Paid for cookie, OH WAIT, no cookie, should’ve just gone to the coop for a cornetto (I don’t even like cornettos). Views are good, anything other than a pint….is not

Edit i have emailed but unfortunately no reply since. Definitely don't go here for food Not the best food for the price but edible. mash potato and pie was clearly microwaved, for the price we payed absolutely ridiculous wasn't much of a meal barely filled a hole. Could've gotten better at a takeaway for half the price. Won't be returning unfortunately. I saw others complain that there food was cold.

Busy but speedy service, clean restaurant and toilets and high standards throughout

Terrible Menu and management has changed, resulting in sloppy staff, cold food, small portion sizes and slow waiting times. I ordered a burger for my 12 year old child and it took her 2 mouthfuls to finish. Im not impressed.

Really rude and hostile bar staff, unhappy with the service.

Judgemental bar staff, insulting comments about age and all round miserable bar staff

Bar staff really rude and impolite

Good food and lovely atmosphere. Great to sit outside on an evening and watch the sunset too.

I regularly use the The Little Harp for food and drinks and I can highly recommend for quality, consistency and atmosphere. Steph, Katie, Dave and the whole team are always attentive, courteous and make you feel very welcome 10/10

Great location, lovely pub but service is sooooooo slow. Location of the pub is amazing - food is typical pub food so cannot complain. However, every time we come the service is just so slow. One person behind the bar seems standard and no sense of urgency - it is the only downside to what should be a great experience. Avoid if in a rush.

Attending with a friend for dinner afer swimming in the lake, we needed some nice hot food to warm us up. I didn't get the herb-roasted carrots and my friend didn't get her carrot crisps as stated on the menu (didn't realise this until afterwards when i looked at the menu again). I will admit the food was hot and we did eat it as we were so hungry! The food had been clearly microwaved. Paid almost £40 for 2 meals and 2 lattes, complete waste of money and should have asked for a refund!! Unfortunately we just wanted to get out quick but we definitely won't be returning. Very dissapointed!! :(

A very nice pub in a picturesque area with both a great view and atmosphere. The meals we had were more than worth it and the staff, especially Jen who served us were friendly and helpful even though it was busy.

Phenomenal hot food - we had the gammon with chips, egg and pineapple. Faultless and didn’t mind waiting either - the pub was very busy. We are local and we have not had a bad meal ever. Recommended unreservedly!

Expensive, nice views and good outdoor area, ambiance lacking. Afternoons long queues form waiting for bar service

This place is nice. This place has turds. The fish SUCKS and is flavourless. The pizza is equivalent to a rock and the peas are pretty terrible. Everything is alright apart from the food which sucks.

The Little Harp is one of my favourite hostelries in the area. I live locally and always get a great welcome. Whether I am popping in for a drink or bringing visitors. The location is splendid and the food is really good.

Came for a nice lunch with friends, lovely setting, great service from katie, will defo be back

Guess how much this pathetic glass of blackcurrant squash WITH TAP WATER was…………… £2.75!!!!!!!! Absolute rip off.

Booked a table for Easter Monday , we had cod & chips which was average, chips not particularly hot.when my husbands drink was served, the waiter said they had go down stairs to get my rose, it never came. When the waitress served our meal, I said not had my drink yet. So she went off, her excuse was when she came back, they didn’t know who it was for. When the bill came what a shock, a small rose £9.69. It didn’t even look a small one….Staff not particularly good. I wouldn’t recommend the place.

Absolute great food👍 friendly atmosphere look for to next visit.

This place was unable to offer us a vegetarian food option. Only two veg options were listed on their menu (no vegan) and both were unaccountably 'off' (one because it was a Sunday!). When I pointed out to the staff member who was attempting to serve me (it took him at least five minutes to determine that there was no veg offer) that at least 12% of the UK population are professed vegetarians and that it was therefore reasonable to assume that around that percentage of those stepping through the doors were going to require a veg offer I got blank stares and a interjection from a colleague that "it's not his fault"! Talk about missing the point - and I wasn't being aggressive, just pointing out some facts. Here's a tip, Little Harp - 12% and growing... buck up your thinking, sort out your menu and be ready for the future.

very friendly and helpful staff

Nice friendly and attentive staff. Food was nice. Dogs welcome Unfortunately toilets were manky and looked like they’ve not been cleaned in a long time, especially the floors.

As a Chef myself thought that the Menu looks good, but we had gluten served as Gluten Free,so we all 4 of us had our meal separately eaten. Chicken Burger was very nice though.

The food was fairly priced for pub food but the quality of the food was very poor. The staff although polite wasn't very attentive. By the time we were given knives and forks our food had been served and was almost cold. The atmosphere was lovely, as was the layout. It was quite lively but in a good way. Everyone that was drinking seemed to be having a good time but as a restaurant I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Lovely seaside pub/restaurant. Space to sit outside and a lovely conservatory for chilly days.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere!

Lovely Sunday Lunch with the family. Relaxed atmosphere and great food

Came on Sunday service was friendly and sufficient Food was tasty lamb shank shepherd pie was lovely would recommend Will visit again

Amazing roast dinner in incredible location

6 of us booked, my granddaughter's choice not available, my steak not served with the others, when it came it was without the sauce I ordered, I ordered a second drink, it didn't arrive until I had finished eating so I refused it. Not a good experience, very disappointed. I maybe too generous with the stars.

The food is reasonable with a good choice and if you have a window seat, you have a very nice outlook. But there's not enough staff. Always queuing at the bar and it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive. Won't be back anytime soon. Sorry

Popped in for lunch and was very surprised. Great menu, lovely atmosphere and great service from katie

Excellent lunch great service received from Katie

Nice friendly place, good atmosphere good for a beer or two, lunch evening meals or just a coffee. Sea views and new 'beach hut' outdoor seating too.

Arrived with family for a bite to eat on Saturday 29th March as we arranged a bit of an early Mother’s Day get together and first visit to Clevedon. It was quite busy so we decided to sit outside. My son ordered a sandwich at the bar as he was advised that no main meals were being served outside. Fair enough! I stood in the queue and watched a gent order a sandwich for outside and some drinks. I went to place an order and was told that there was a wait for 50 minutes for main meals and then told when I gave my table number that no sandwiches( not a main meal) were being served outside despite what had just happened?… I indicated my son had just ordered at the bar for an outside table. What a cluster…. Never mind my daughter, her partner, my wife, my elderly mother in law and I didn’t make any order and my son had a refund as we didn’t want to watch him eating a meal we couldn’t join him with. Now I know it can be stressful and busy in the catering trade but this was just a very poor experience. A real shame as we were really hungry and loved the area. We ate elsewhere in a local pub where we received a great welcome. Every cloud as they say.

Really the overall experience was excellent. We booked for 3 but 5 of us turned up. We were quickly accommodated, plus dog and baby. Mix up with our food and a delay but the manager quickly can to speak to us, sorted the mix up up and offered us a discount. Parking was excellent as we had booked our food.

Lovely place, lovely location with wonderful views over the Severn and a real dog friendly treat. Only drawback is that the car park is managed by a company who will fine you steeply if you forget to register your number plate

I tip my hat to the Gentleman working on his own before lunch was being served. He was so helpful despite a large number of people arriving. He made our visit and we shall return 👏👏

Fab brekkie, great selection. Service was brilliant. View excellent!

Excellent lunch, belly pork, and thoroughly recommend. Never disappointed.

Great meal , great service , great atmosphere

Had a table booked for Sunday lunchtime with friends. Ordered roasts and that was where the disappointment started. Two of the four were cold and also having re read the menu, missing items/ not as described. Having sent one roast back, it was returned within less than a minute at more or less the same temperature, seems that not even the microwave could help it. By this point another one of the roasts was discovered to be less than warm and as such both plates were sent back and due to clearly not being able to get hot food we asked not to have them replaced. The rump that was supposed to be served pink was grey and lifeless but with griddle marks from an attempted heating. The seasonal greens were limp savoy cabbage only and the roasted root vegetables missing. The manager let us know they would remove those from the bill however, when the bill eventually came, around 45 minutes following people finishing eating and waiting for the table to be cleared, the items were still on it. We had to ask for them to be removed which was pretty disappointing. Upon speaking with the person presumed to be the manager before leaving frankly, did not get left with any feeling of genuine sorrow which sadly left a bitter taste in the mouth. Would not recommend this establishment and will certainly not be returning.

Went to the Little Harp today with my children for lunch. All had a roast, all different meats. Have to say they were the best roasts we have had in Clevedon for a long time!!! Atmosphere was great, staff were great. 100% my new go to for a lovely Sunday roast!!! 👌

Popped in early on a Sunday morning. Had a fab Full English breakfast...very yummy! Great place, lovely staff and dog friendly in the bar area too. Overlooks the coast in Clevedon...what's not to like!

Chris was outstanding! very welcoming and fantastic with our daughter on entertaining. thank you for a pleasant stay

No communication on food delays, super busy with lots of reserved tables but in the time we were there lots of them not taken. Food was 10/10 though. We had one younger girl server, sadly we didn’t get her name (12:00-14:00 Saturday 15th) who was great

The venue was nice and the food was lovely, but above all the service was great! Our server, Chris, was friendly, happy and attentive - the best I've had anywhere in a long time. We'll definitely be back.

Had a lovely evening, Chris our waiter was amazing

Amazing service, brilliant server Chris - Had a 3 course meal - cheese sharer followed by a beautiful sirloin steak and finished with the sticky toffee pudding. Paired with a couple amazing pints of guinness. Parents had lamb shank and a steak as well. Plus they let dogs in within the bar area which a big plus. 2nd time within the week, definitely coming again.

Food was not very nice and and went to the toilet and there was boxer shorts on the floor with poo in them. Absolutely disgusting.

Great meal enjoyed by everyone.

Chris our waiter was very polite and helpful. Food was good.

What a great chap behind the bar. “Euan” I think his name is, is great to have an interesting conversation. Ask him about his thoughts on how Tottenham is better than Liverpool.

Me and my friends love the little harp inn. Atmosphere is amazing the staff are friendly and welcoming Katie especially very smiley and made everything a breeze for us. We will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely meal and all served well by Chris

Service was really quick and atmosphere was lovely and cosy. Chris was very hospitable and friendly service.

Chris was exceptional in his service especially with our little ones.

Came for breakfast this morning and was greeted by the lovely Katie, she was so accommodating and welcoming. I ordered the full breakfast and it was made to perfection as requested, highly recommended this place for a breakfast and will be returning to try out the rest of the menu🥰🥰

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Absolute smasher of a place. Would recommend highly and am always welcomed by the lovely Katie and other staff on shift.

Food was delicious, the service was really quick and very friendly from Chris. Will 100% be back in the future and would definitely recommend 😊

Such a great meal at the Little Harp. A superb location and Chris, our waiter, was so lovely and helpful. Would definitely come back!

I had a wonderful evening at the little harp. A lady called Katie(I think was the manager) served me and was an absolutely outstanding member of the team. Katie helped us pick a lovely seat and was quick and efficient on serving us. Will be back soon!

The lady (didn’t catch her name) and Dave who served us were fab.

Lovely atmosphere, come for coffee every week and served by Dave who is always happy and friendly.

Always very friendly and helpful, especially Dave and Maggie. I come iin regularly on Friday mornings and some evenings and always enjoy the atmosphere. Especially lovely in the restaurant of an evening, overlooking the water. The sunset has to be seen to be believed!

Really lovely young lady and young man serving us. Great with children

It was a lovely enjoyable meal and service was good and friendly especially Chris.

Chris arranged table close to window to look out for sunset

A perfect meal at the little harp in Clevedon. Chris, our waiter was an absolute super star!

Great atmosphere great service from Chris! Good pub food. Will be back!

Great service from Chris! Really helpful and friendly!

Excellent service and food. Very dog friendly. Catered for all our needs. Very reasonable priced. Brilliant location with stunning views of Clevedon beach.

Another great experience at The Little Harp. This time we visited on a busy half term weekday but had pre booked to ensure there was a dog friendly table available. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the meals are consistently good quality. Thanks Steph and all your team, looking forward to returning in the near future.

Chris was very helpful made my son feel very welcome.

Lovely service from the staff, and felt very welcome.

Waited an hour for our food to come out, and every other table around us was complaining about how long they’d had to wait too. Feel sorry for the staff that were working as they were rushing around and having to apologise to everyone. This isn’t the first time this has happened at this place either so unfortunately we wouldn’t return. Please hire more staff as it seems the place needs it!

Chris the waiter was excellent and very friendly

Very good food and pleasant staff. Use this regularly as working in the area periodically, nice outlook , highly recommend!

Amazing fabulous food specially pork belly ..Great lovely waitress ..Great atmosphere...will be back week .due to work..nice .Great..perfect.

Sorry but food was nowhere near as good as we have had before. Despite a low number of guests that day the time to get served or even acknowledged was far too long. A pleasant table, eventually, however the fish was terribly overcooked, peas were cold, bread was stale and double charged, Not sure the apple tart was cooked, certainly was unpalatable, but the custard was fine, As usual the beers were excellent, what a shame, the Royal Inn just up the road at Portishead will now get our custom,

The food was excellent, and the service was superb (particularly Lucy and Chris) Thank you for a lovely lunch - the duo of chicken and the mini cheesecakes were especially delicious

Great food and atmosphere. Chris's desserts were particularly good and Lucy was a kind and professional server. Well done guys.

Chris is brilliant and very patient and attentive

Great night amazing staff especially Katie.

The only negative is a paid an extra £ 2 for garlic mushroom but it was basically 1 mushroom not a dish of mushroom. CHRIS our waitor was excepectional though. So polite and accommodating lovely and brilliant x

Staff bisy due to it being Valentines day lunch but all very helpful. Fish and chips, gammon and BBQ chicken Mains all very nice. Mini puds very mini sized but delicious. Will be back :)
