Mr Hungry in Enfield

I can only rate as I have experienced here and reckon these are probably a 3.5 on a better day. Took 40 minutes for the food to arrive and we only stayed because my grandson of 3 years was so hungry. We did hear others who came in being warned of a 45 minute wait, we didn't get that warning. Not an easy task keeping a hungry 3 year old boy settled at a table for that length of time. When the food arrived, my grandons cheese and ham toastie was a cheese an onion toastie. Not a chance we were going to send it back and wait however long for a correction, so scraped the onions out and thankfully he was ok with that. The Big Breakfast. Good and Bad. It was big, no complaint there. The sausages were really really really good, the bacon was very nice and not too salty. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the buttered sourdough was also very nice. Now the Bad.... The beans. Just my preference but i would have preferred them to have been served seperately in a pot as they often are. There was a very generous portion of them and way too much juice. Don't think they were served from a slotted spoon, the plate was dominated by bean juice and infected everthing. They tasted ok though. The 2 inch diameter tomatoes were cooked but served whole, not a great look. The mushrooms were horrible, black, spongy and stewed. Black Pudding.. don't eat that !! so no comment either way on it. Half slice of fried bread was drowned in bean juice so soggy. The tea was ok, nothing special. Very annoying however that tea for 2 came with a small jug of milk for 2 cups of tea for a pot that done 4-5 cups easily. Had to get a refill from very busy servers.The Black Americano coffee was not good at all though, like really not good. No one would order this twice ever i'm certain. I'm sure if i'd attended during a less busy time when service was normal and orders delieverd accurately, I would have scored them higher. But you can only review what you have experienced and experience is relative to cost too. 2 Big Breakfasts, Cheese and Onion Toastie, tea for 2 and a Coffee, £42 odd. I think 2 stars is fair for our experience here, probably 3.5 with normal service. Could be 4.5 with a better detail to breakfast items and should have been better given top dollar prices. Again great great sausages though.

We have just had the most beautifully moist, white battered haddock and chips. We ordered a mixture of regular and large - and the large were absolutely huge, all with perfect, crisp batter. A large portion of chips fed more than four with good appetites. We always have our fish and chips from Fish and Chips at - and never disappointed. Delivery was on time ( was able to book mid afternoon) and the food was piping hot. Recommended

I can't help it, but I find Harris & Hoole disappointing. It's major retail dressed up to be local. Unlike the big brand coffee shops that don't disguise what they are, it feels as if Harris is trying to be something it's not. There's nothing especially wrong with it, but if I find myself with a choice, I do tend to go elsewhere.

Still a Great little pub, still the best pub in the area.

Very cosy and welcoming. The food was hot and so delicious.
