Little Harp in North Somerset

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.

Chris the waiter was excellent and very friendly

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!

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

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 night amazing staff especially Katie.

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

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

We Attended their on Valentines Day, service was good, the food came out and was undercooked, chips were cold (sent them back and waited about 15 mins extra), beef burger was undercooked (even though my partner is pregnant!!!). I had chicken strips which were luke warm, chicken breast was clearly frozen and tougher, microwavable rice. The only warm thing on my plate was the salad. Very disappointed and will struggle to eat in The Little Harp again. 3 other tables of customers also complained about their food. We paid around £47 for this with minimal discount.

On a recommendation from my friends cousin, we went for lunch with our friends at The Little Harp today. My friend had booked a table, and we got a beautiful window seat. It was very busy - it is Valentines Day, so it maybe quieter on other days. It took a long time for the food to arrive, but we didn't mind as we hadn't seen one another for a long time and had lots to catch up on. When the food arrived it was good, my daughters fish was delicious, apparently. My friend and I both had the rump steak, sadly both were quite hard to cut, but they were cooked nicely and it was very tasty. The staff were absolutely lovely, even though they were very busy, a young man called Chris came round and checked that we were alright on several occasions, and took our photo for us at the end. Another young woman also checked on us several times and we were made to feel very welcomed and cared about. Thankyou for a lovely meal, and a lovely afternoon.

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 :)

Would normally give a 5 star, but was very disappointed with the food Today. As a regular customer I have always enjoyed the food, but the chicken/bacon burger that I ordered was very dry and overcooked, bacon was rock hard dry. Felt like the chicken burger and bacon had been reheated and sat there for ages. Food also took a long time to come out. I have found this very disappointing as over the past 2 years I have found the food to be very good. Told the waiter about it and he admitted that it was overcooked but didn't seem overly bothered. This has left me not wanting to return anytime soon.

Basic food menu. Friendly helpful staff. Nice to sit near the open fire for a coffee on our next visit. Like the children's desserts from the menu.

Really lovely staff. Food is lovely and this is such a cute place by the sea!!! 100% recommend ☺️

We had a really enjoyable dining experience at The little Harp, Pub/restaurant. We had popped in a few nights before for a pint of Guinness and the food aromas were pretty alluring. So we thought we come back to enjoy a Sunday Roast. The food was really tasty. My partner had the beef roast and I had the mushroom Wellington. Both of us had a couple of large pigs in blankets on the side. Absolutely no fault with the food. It was delicious Sunday comfort and very filling too. The service was quick and came with a big smile and positivity. Which I love. In particular, Chris, who waited our table for us, gave us an excellent experience and brought all of that positivity to the table. The building itself, decor and location is what brought us here. The lovely staff is a massive bonus. We were lucky enough to be seated near one of the huge windows overlooking the sea. I can imagine this would be a great afternoon for the summer too! We would definitely like to pop in again.

Service was a little slow, otherwise good 👍

Went for a birthday meal on Sunday, the service took sometime but they were super understaffed and had an issue in the kitchen, however manager that was on at the time (dark hair and super helpful) was super attentive despite the issues! GIVE HER A PAY RISE!!

Fantastic meal, good price and great service. Chris our server was excellent, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back

Fantastic family pub with a lovely welcome from the staff and great food. We will be back! Thanks also to Chris who looked after us.

Came here for my mums birthday. The food was tasty and Chris was very friendly and gave us amazing service. His service alone made it a 10/10 visit. We’ll be returning!

We arrived at 8 having booked a table for dinner at 8 to be told the kitchen closed at 8pm, the. After enquiry I was told the kitchen could do basic meals instead, so I left. On the journey home the bar maid called to enquire why I left, I explained that I booked for dinner, not basic food. She seemed very defensive.

Reserved a meal with family here after our last experience on a Sunday being told there was hardly any food available that we wanted we decided to try again; After arriving, no one acknowledged our table and we waited for roughly 30 minutes before anyone came over to take our order after having to mention it to an owner or manager. Unfortunately, just like the last visit here they did not have main meals we came for stating “sorry or fish fryer is broken no fish on the menu” and also “sorry there’s no carrot chips etc” This is disappointing hearing this a second time along with the service / ordering times. Good food when they do have it available but sadly this place needs better service if they expect people to pay £22+ for food.. the service needs to meet expectations too! Will not be coming here again after our second bad experience we recommend going else where!

Much improved service. Our server Chris was polite and helpful.

Great value for money the customer service was brilliant we felt very welcomed and well looked after

Great food and service, Chris was fantastic!

Delicious food but we found the service a little overbearing. Being asked three times during our main course how we found the food was not necessary in my opinion. If we'd had any issues with the food we would have let you know.

There were a lot of people, it is better to book a table in advance. We didn't have a reservation, but the staff was nice and allowed us to sit at a free table. Thank you very much

Had a very tasty and filling meal. The Trio of roasts was cooked to perfection. The tasty food was accompanied by great service from Steph and Reece uplifting the whole experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm and cozy on contrary to the wet and cold weather outside. Would definitely recommend and will be my next go to spot for some really good Sunday Roast meal. Thank you

We came for brunch today for a family birthday, we’re a large family with young children. The service was first rate and the staff couldn’t have done enough to make it a lovely experience for us- nothing was too much trouble. Everyone enjoyed their food which was served in good time, and special requests for crispy bacon were accomadated with no issue. A very tasty brunch, but what made the experience special was the service and the staff who were so kind, professional and attentive. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. The pub is well maintained and the decor and atmosphere are spot on. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon, thank you Little Harp!

Great roast dinner, and our waiter Chris was excellent!

lovely food too staff very friendly Chris was our server very friendly enjoyed the food

Great experience at The Little Harp today! Fantastic service by Chris.... We had a great time!

Welcoming pub, Chris our server was more than accommodating. Had the trio roast which was nice, potatoes were a bit chewy and not as well seasoned but overall nice meal

Lovely place to eat! Is cosy with lovely food and views. Staff are all very friendly, dogs are welcome too. Chris served us today he was brilliant with kids and was professional and kind throughout the whole service.

I could be accused of being biased because my niece-in-law used to manage this hostelry. But it was, is and always has been a really great place to visit; stunning views, great service and superb food and drink. It’s everything a traditional pub should be and more.

Lovely meal and lovely food! Staff were great!

What a great meal after so long. I had the Duo of Chicken which was very good. Steph and Reece were really kind and friendly towards us which made feel at home. They also recommended us dishes to try, which turned out to be great. Definitely going back soon for another well-prepared meal.

Great roast meal with excellent vegetarian options, I had the mushroom wellington which was very well balanced and perfectly cooked. Great customer service from Reece and Steph. Would definitely go back for a quick bite or a meal.

Fantastic service from Chris and the team. Chris went out of his way to look after us and make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you! Great food too and very pet friendly.

Great food, well looked after by Chris.

Thanks Chris Lovely person and service

Excellent service and food. Chris served us and really put himself out to make our stay awesome!

Chris was so lovely, very accommodating with our meal and needs - will be returning x

Great food, lovely pub, my dog loves it and staff are super friendly. Served by Chris today who was great and even adapted the dessert so I could have a sundae! Excellent service

Aggravatingly slow which ruins the dining experience. Clearly and self-admittedly short staffed. It’s a shame as the pub is in a lovely location. I have had the same experience on numerous visits. The last of which I waited a long time to be seated to then be told food would be a delay as they were busy…yet half the tables were empty. We left to find somewhere else and I don’t think I will be trying again.

Love this place. Great view and lovely Sunday lunch. Especially if you use Tesco vouchers to pay.

Popped in this morning for breakfast, excellent friendly service from both Katie & Dave and food well cooked!

******* Update 07/01/2025 ******* So had another person email me, promising to send a voucher and how sorry they were, but still no voucher or even a reply to any of my emails. TERRIBLE BUSINESS AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ******* UPDATE: I thought I would be coming on here with a good update, but I am afraid not. They got in contact with me, but that was a bit if a hassle. But eventually they apologised and said they would send a voucher. Well, I have not received a voucher, and no response from any of my emails. So basically they don't care about their customers. ******* I appreciate that they were short staffed, but when you are told you have to be inside to eat, then as you walk in, the waitress is carrying food out. It doesn't set things up well. Then, when you finally get your food, the plate is hotter than the food. It just finishes your night off. It's a great shame as this could be a wonderful pub if it was run better. It's a shame, but we won't be back, and neither will our friends

Friendly staff, great customer service, everything is clean, food is very good. Have enjoyed roast dinners, lamb shank shepherds pie, pork belly dishes all of great quality. Beautiful views of Clevedon bay, lovely outdoor seating area.

We had booked a table and hoped to receive relatively rapid service. Having waited for the drinks to arrive we were still without our meals an hour later. We asked our server where the meals were, having noted that a neighbouring table had just had to do the same, and the 2 plates of hot food were immediately produced, having clearly been ready and waiting under the heater for some time; the third plate when it arrived some minutes later was missing some of the advertised ingredients. The mature server was hardly apologetic and did not appear to understand how to manage customers at all. This is not the first time I have been disappointed by this establishment _ it may well be the last.

Meal out before Christmas. Decor lovely but food not as good as it used to be and has gone up alot in price.

We live in Exeter but always visit when in the area great food friendly staff and nice atmosphere always

we waited forever to get a waiter, maybe 1 hour, this resultant needs more staff !

Bar staff were excellent and friendly - getting us a table for us and our toddler and making sure our order was taken straight away. However the sever who took our order but didn’t actually put it through and never checked on us. After 40mins, turns out she didn’t put the order through, so we had to leave with tired and starving toddler.

Food and service good as always .

Having visited many Chef and Brewer / Green King pubs during the year we were looking forward to Christmas Dinner at one of our local pubs. On arriving there was nobody on front of house and we had to wait over 10 minutes to be welcomed. We then had to wait 45 minutes once seated to receive our welcome drinks of Prosecco or Orange juice due to a lack of glasses. There was also a long wait for our three courses and the main course was warm and not hot. When our side dishes of cauliflower cheese arrived, the dishes were boiling but the contents just warm. The whole experience was rather disappointing when you consider how much it cost. It has made us seriously consider whether to book for Christmas lunch in future years as it spoilt the day in relation to what everyone was expecting. We also only ordered one drink each due to the delays. I believe the restaurant had stretched itself beyond its capabilities which was a shame.

Worst pub and service in clevedon. Disgusting staff.

Had a xmas dinner a at the little harp never again the whole dinner tasted of herbs even the roast potatoes had garlic and something horrible on them this was not a traditional Xmas dinner more like a French platter.

Little Harp, Clevedon waited 50mins for my turkey lunch then was cold so very disappointed. I ate as didn't want to wait another 20mins like my friend as her meal was cold too.

Lovely breakfast after the spark run. Twinkly and festive with Father Christmas popping in too! Ethan was so friendly and helpful, thank you & Merry Christmas x Good luck in new role Ethan - gutted you’re leaving x

Nice place. Hated the 100 pound fine for having the audacity to park in the pub car park while I had a meal though. Edit - Legendary manager DAVE sorted it for me.

Festive menu was delicious. Staff were friendly.

Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. We went for lunch without booking (have lost the receipt sorryl but the lady who greeted us had a blond pony tail and found us a lovely table in the conservatory with a great view of the coast across the channel). Courteous and efficient service from all staff and the meal was fabulous.

Absolutely exceptional food and service ! We had the beef rib from the menu along with terrine starter and a bbq chicken starter. And pigs in blankets. A very memorable experience and I highly recommend the food to everyone I meet. Thankyou its made my 38th birthday very special with my partner and daughter.

Excellent Sunday roasts in a splendid seafront location. Friendly, well-behaved clientele... and their dogs... make for a very enjoyable visit.

Waited an hour for food. It really wasn’t that busy. The food wasn’t that good. Went for lunch with my son for our birthdays. Really dissatisfying. The food wasn’t worth £48 for two meals my sons was dry and burnt. And he’s left feeling nauseous.

Waited just under an hour for food to arrive (they weren’t exactly busy) no apologies for delay and it really wasn’t worth the wait as the food was dry and slightly burnt as if it had been sat under a hot lamp for too long, as when my mother went to ask where it was, it came straight out!

Great food and a lovely warm ambience . Staff were welcoming and friendly . You need to buy a car park ticket which is fully refunded before you leave .

Had table booked for 3 o'clock Sunday roast food arrived looked lovely on first taste it was cold sent back after ten minutes new plates of food arrived same thing it's cold so decided myself and my husband to leave with having twice been given cold food very disappointed

Would not recommend. Booked a table for 3. Took 15 mins just to get a drink. Two of us ordered Pork Belly and it was very undercooked and oddly presented! Came with a long stalk of seared cabbage, looked cooked on top but when turned over it was pale and fat was slimy/mush, uneatable as in picture. For £18, a good £9 worth was left in fat to be binned. Asked if we would like any sauces, asked for apple which never materialised. Cappuccino had literally no coffee, just a ton of chocolate powder and tasted dreadful. Atmosphere in there was nice with decorations up but literally only the positive!

Chris Chris Chris, puts the Chris in Christmas. Quality staff member. (Shout out out to Chris)

Food was good and the Guinness is good but the fact Chris is there makes the whole experience phenomenal. Truly impeccable Chris👍🏻

Called in here yesterday (Friday night) and a had a lovely meal for 2. Food was excellent and the service was good. The new refurbishment looked great. The only thing was slightly odd was all the tables had reserved signs on but we didn’t book. Just arrived and was shown to one of these tables. We had left by 8:30 but still most of the tables hadn’t been taken so the atmosphere was a little quiet.

very busy on a Saturday, advice to book. Typical pub menu however nice food . Little disappointed around my little trifle. good atmosphere

Lovely! The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance was perfect for our group of 5 for a relaxing evening out and would definitely recommend it :)

Dinner with the ladies last night was amazing, most tables full but didn’t have to wait In the dining area , warm welcome , fresh delicious dishes , no room for dessert . Better than any restaurant I have visited in a long time ! Highly recommend

Awesome pub, great food and service although waitress could have smiled now and again 😂 all in all a great place

The last three visits have been major disappointments. Despite the recent refurb, the service has been terrible. Our most recent visit was Saturday (26th oct) evening. We just wanted a simple drink while watching the sunset... but the experience turned into such a hassle that we missed it entirely. We spent over 20 minutes queuing because the bar staff seemed clueless about where anything was, leading to a disorganized and an awkward, slow moving line around the entrance. A pub shouldn’t be run like this? Staff should be knowledgeable, efficient, and well coordinated - especially on a busy weekend night. Inside, 90% of tables sat empty but unusable... with people wandering aimlessly in search of seats. Outside tables were littered with dirty glasses, food, plates, and litter blowing across the seafront in the wind. A pub by the water should offer a relaxing atmosphere, not feel like a neglected, chaotic space. If a messy, poorly managed environment is what you’re after, then this place might be worth a visit... but it’s definitely not what most people expect or want, clearly😕Gutted.

The mini dessert with the drink the dessert bit was so small it was ridiculous the piece of cheesecake was only about an inch square

Booked a table at the little harp clevedon for 5 pm. On arrival the pub and restaurant we're really busy, we were shown to our table and ordered five roast dinners and a fish and chips. Very little veg was served and the meats looked dry and unappetizing. Fish and chips didn't fare any better with dried out peas and very few chips. The only plus side to this visit was our server who was under immense pressure due to lack of staff, very unlikely we shall be returning anytime soon.

Only popped in for drinks, but what a lovely location and inside looked really nice and well maintained.

Packed to the rafters and nowhere to sit

This pub used to be a favourite of ours but after being neglected for years we did not want to return... but I am SO GLAD WE DID! We had such a warm welcome from Steph (The new manager) and were made to feel at home. We came for lunch and ended spending all afternoon in the conservatory looking out at the water. Great food and amazing service. This is how I remember the harp years ago ! I am very excited to see this beautiful pub get back on the map with the changes she is making, We will all be back !!

Very disappointed the service was very slow, over two hours for two courses of preprepared food that did not match the price. Just saved by a good beer and view.

Today was disappointing, I'm sorry to say. The food as described in the menu was not supplied, and the alternatives stingy. Presentation was very mediocre although quite tasty. Do better next time Little Harp! I'm a local and may go elsewhere if things dont improve.

Went out for dinner with the family and the food and service was excellent! There is a new manager in charge who looks to be doing everything in their power to make this a great place to go again! Will be coming back

The main course; beef pie was very dry with a small amout of meat and nice pastry.

You have some amazing views from the Little Harp and sunset there are amazing, great place to go and watch the sun go down. Had food there twice now both times we had to wait along time for the drinks and food to arrive,and to honest the food was average.

Family celebration. Headed to beach hut outside at 3 pm. Before we could sit down, had to clear previous used plates and glasses. Other empty booths the same with spilled drinks and used crockey. We cleaned our table with many wet wipes, It was heavily soiled and very concerning with young children present. Outside tables also had dirty plates and no attempt to clear.Unacceptable poor hygiene standards

Very nice walk alone prom popped in for coffee and sandwich also dog friendly dog treats and water for dogs 🐕

Very friendly, very good food and guest ales. Excellent night out.

The staff were so lovely, the view in the conservatory is incredible.

Not enough staff service, those who were working offered fantastic service 👏

Lunch options were a great size and price point, Dinner options larger for those wanting something more substantial. Quality of everything was good. Great location. Service a little slow and involved due to tablet-based ordering but we got there.

We came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning with not too many customers in the restaurant. It took more than 45 mins for the food to arrive. And the food are terrible and very disappointing. In the farmer breakfast, potatoes are cold, the only edible thing on that plate is the bake bean. The poached egg for the Benedict was over cooked. Very very disappointing. This place has a stunning view and set up. I hope the management can put more effort on improving the food quality and provide better staff training.

I love this place normally but there seemed to be a lack of helpful staff.No eye contact was made so that we could alert them to our needs therefore we spent 3 hrs on a 1 hour booking. I will however be returning one day because the food is very nice.

Great beer food and perfect for every occasion 👌
