Great steak selection , ribeyes to die for

Mixed grill meats were dry and tasteless, puddings a little over priced for what you got!

Great friendly pub , excellent Sunday Roast

Rhys was very helpful, and his an honour to your company!!

Lovely restaurant/ pub. Food we had wasn't what we ordered as they were out of steak. We were disappointed but the manager provided well cooked food and refunded the cost of meals. We felt he had gone above and beyond to put things right. V impressed. His service means we will return. Recommended.

Really good meal and great service received. The wait on food wasn’t long and it was actually for my Mom’s birthday and they even bought a little chalkboard with that on which was a nice touch.

Can’t recommend this place enough

Found the service Excellent and the food and cocktails very good celebrating 62nd birthday at the time.

This restaurant has such a cozy and charming atmosphere! The warm lighting, rustic decor, and comfortable seating make it an ideal place for a relaxed meal especially for this time of year! The service was great; food delicious and we had the best time with friends and family. Good value for money and we'll be back for sure.”

Reece our waiter was amazing. Food was good. Shame table and menus were sticky. Just needed a good wipe down.

We love it there, it's our favourite place. I took my husband for a birthday meal as we both had a trio roast which was amazing and value for money. It's so relaxed there and the staff are very polite.

It was suggested we all go here by a friend who lives locally. We had never been before and annoyingly my sat nav made me miss the turning off the island into their car park The outside looked promising and inside it's pleasant enough. It's part of the Marstons chain so you know it will be a corporate menu and standardised meals. Unfortunately there were a few items on the menu that they hadn't got. The food was pleasant, nothing stood out and the portions a bit meagre. The service a bit chaotic but to be fair they appeared to be understaffed. Very busy for a Thursday night so obviously very popular with the locals. Nice outdoor area but that will have to wait until next summer now.

Great meal at a fair price and good service

Lovly place. Nice food plenty to choose from. Nice cocktails 🍸

Great table, friendly service, tasty food thanks!

Food was superb Ryan was amazing. Will come again.

The service was great, we were well catered for but not constantly asked if everything was ok. The food was really good. What more can you ask for?

On a very wet Sunday we thought we would walk in and take a chance that they had space. We are a party of 4 adults and one small dog. We were welcomed in by a man working the coffee machine, he said that help would be with us shortly. He hadn't even finished his speech when help arrived. We were shown to the back room of the bar, a fabulous little room, the only other couple soon finished and we had the room to ourselves 😁. We ordered two Sunday lunch Trio meat and two Beef. The food arrived very fast and efficient and was nice and hot. Very very nice 👍 Would recommend the Old Irish to everyone. Best service in a pub for a long time. The best bit was the 30% discount as it's a Marston pub.

Ryan was very good ,friendly cheerful and attentive, he did a great job

Food quality not the best. Steak - glaze gave a bitter taste. Sweet potato fries nice taste. Weak Merlot gravy. Steak and ale pie tasty.

From the moment we sat down, the staff were friendly and super attentive, such a pleasant rarity! The food arrived promptly and my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The after dinner hot drinks with the choice of bourbon or custard cream is a genius idea and a lovely surprise. Well done and thank you Old Irish Harp. Big smiley staff, lovely food and a good old biscuit for afters. What's not to love?! We'll definitely be returning.

My parents eat here every week and love it. I had the chance to join them. I had scampi and chips, followed by the raspberry panacotta. All very well cooked and lovely. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable for 3 x 2 courses plus a bottle of wine. Update: Revisited and still as great as ever. Nicky is always super friendly and helpful

Lovely night out, great company, great food. What more do need.

Had to send food bak as it was only luke warm . Chicken has to be piping hot when leaving kitchen . I was there last saturday 7.15 Drinks were ok and served reasonably quickly

Service was superb as was the mix grill. Perfect

Food was OK I had mixed grill but it was very dry but the wife had chicken butter burger & she said it was the best ever . The tables was very sticky & dirty in the bar we had to clean them ourselves

lovely looking place but service not great and food was worse. arrived at opening times and staff were difficult about what table we sat at. food was over cooked and now that nice. was an out of town visit so wouldn't visit again anyway but as a local I'm sure there are better places

Amber our waitress was lovely and very professional. The food was first class. Would recommend it to anyone. We will be back

Wonderful staff, great food and an absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Thank you!

Went for my birthday with friends the food was fantastic the staff were also attentive and friendly couldn’t have asked for more would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to all that staff

Service friendly and happy to help with recommendations. Dishes chosen were all tasty. Great experience will return in future

Friendly staff and good food! There was a bit of a delay on the food but we could see it was very busy. The Sunday lunch was amazing!

We sat in the bar area and ordered through the QR code. Drinks were delivered promptly within 5 mins and the food wasn’t long after. Food was spot on! All the staff were friendly and polite, we look forward to our next visit!

UPDATE - I brought my mother here on the 29th August for her birthday. Our experience at the Old Irish Harp is wonderful - as aIways. Thank you to all at the OIH. *** I brought my mother to the Old Irish Harp for her birthday meal yesterday. She really enjoyed the food, as did I, and our server - Mia, was lovely and very helpful and courteous at all times. The non-alcohol drinks (as my mum is diabetic and I was driving) were really nice - Erdinger. So thank you and I look forward to seeing you again. My compliments to the chef and all staff at OIH.

Old traditional pub with good food and service

Spikey haired manager was very helpful, and took my dietary requirements very seriously. Excellent service from the waitresses, will definitely be returning.

Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive.

Always good food, lovely setting and great staff

Good food, great pint and fantastic, friendly service. I'll be back

23 August 2024 I haven't been here for about a year, and things have changed. Upon entering, I asked for a tea and coffee to take outside, and then I would need a table for two. The young girl who served me was rather curt and unpleasant; she didn't attempt to make me feel welcome at all. After having coffee outside, we re-entered to sit down to eat lunch and were approached by a different female, who again seemed to have a rather unfriendly attitude. This was when I went to the bathroom, and firstly, the smell was putrid, and the floor was dirty and sticky. We ordered, but the spinach and butternut tart wasn't fresh, and the potatoes were hard and had been warmed in a microwave. When the female approached us to ask if everything was okay, I asked if there was new management. She said there was, so I asked why the ladies' toilet was so dire. She said there was a problem with the drain, but the floor hadn't been mopped for some time. She seemed dismissive, saying the floor was clean. Well, it was not, and the food was not nice at all. She seemed unfazed. So, I won't be back or recommending this place to others. This place used to be a pleasant pub with good food and pleasant, friendly service. Oh well, there are plenty of other places to go, and that's what I'll be doing.

The food and its presentation was first rate as was the service friendly and helpful. The room felt a little chilled as if air-conditioning was set a little to low. The price of the wine surprised us £9.50 for a 250 size .

Lovely celebratory meal tonight for our family, with Ryan serving us who was really attentive and friendly.

Value for money is incredible with huge portions. Staff were attentive and always made sure we were happy. Will be returning!!

Had a lovely meal thursdsy night at the old Irish harp, we had exceptional service by Ryan. Kept our drinks topped up and made sure we were okay. Great value for money, will be returning!!

Fantastic pub and the food was outstanding

Lovely meals, good menu selection. Friendly service. A big thank you to ‘Little Dan’ who gained the manager’s permission to gift a pint glass to my husband that he was admiring all evening. You made an old man happy!!

Good service by little Dan ,excellent food and lovely atmosphere

Lovely pub, with lots of different areas for food and drinks, including a huge outside area and a big car park. The food was great and the lunch menu was great value. The service couldn’t be faulted. Martin was friendly and attentive, and made us feel really relaxed. We had some complicated dietary requirements which were handled really well and accommodated with ease. We will definitely be back for special occasions, and we can’t wait to try the Sunday dinners!

Been drinking here since 1976 - it's a gastropub now - it wasn't back then!! The food is good and there is a good selection of beers and wine.

Amazing food and service. Thankyou.

Terrible service. Waited 90 minutes for main course which was below average food . Drinks order was wrong.

Helpful and friendly service good food and excellent service

Average. The food was good, but not the overall experience. We had a drinks menu that was filthy, the table was sticky and it just didnt feel clean. The waitresses seemed overworked and felt obliged to apologise each time for the delay coming back to our table. Our plates were left for about 15 mins after we'd finished eating and were only cleared when finally we asked for them to be cleared. This was the same for other tables that had left after us. Being surrounded by dirty tables. doesnt leave a good impression. The toliet was also really sticky underfoot, gripping the soles of my shoes! The coffee (machiatto) was tepid and frankly abysmal.

Lovely food and service . Thank you .

The greeting on entry was friendly and our waiter was professional and friendly. There was a slight issue with my order but it was rectified with no issues. The food was tasty.

An absolute joy to eat at.the chef Tom was more than helpful with his knowledge of allergies and ingredients used in his food. As my partner has allergies. The food was well cooked well presented. And very nice taste. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area. Chef Tom made a personal effort to check in and make sure the food was good. I think the personal touches always makes for a good experience.

Amazing meal of chicken kebabs and vegan burger meal cooked by the friendly, professional chef Tom. Absolutely perfect food quality and presentation. Will be back the next time I visit the midlands. Thankyou for the personal experience. When the chef makes the effort to come to see if you like your food it adds to the experience and has a huge impact. Well done Tom and team. Hope to see you soon. Good work guys.x

Staff very helpful and pleasant. Good good and good value

I was looking for a venue for a family dinner. I approached the Old Irish Harp online and placed a booking. I confirmed the reservation by phone, and confirmed the number of guests on the day. On the day the service, staff and food were fabulous and the cost of the 2 course meal for 9 of us was excellent. I would highly recommend the Old Irish Harp to anyone. Thank you.

Food was appalling, roast was cold, didn’t get all of meats mentioned, vegetables raw. I didn’t want to voice frustration to waiters are they were friendly and it wasn’t their fault but this was shocking. I’m seriously considering not coming back here at all and telling everyone I know not to come here!

Kane was fantastic, all of the staff are on top form!

Visited for lunch today. Service by Ryan was perfect, so attentive and always at hand. Food was amazing and great value for money

Lovely pub/restaurant with great food and atmosphere.

Great value for money, service was tip top. Will be coming again!!

Wonderful food and service. The cod loin was to die for. Mouth watering and really tasty. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Good food Excellent service Good atmosphere

Good food fresh and served hot, atmosphere very welcoming staff and also affordable.. highly recommended

Lovely afternoon with friends with excellent service, food and drinks

Good food, nice atmosphere,friendly staff. We came here for our 23rd anniversary the wife and I cos this is where we met July 27th 2001. This pub has a lot to answer for!!🤣🍻

Very slow service and bland food

never been before. Friendly staff and nice food reasonably priced.

Came for lunch today and the food was great. Kate served the table and was very friendly and made our visit veey enjoyable. Will be coming here again!

Me and my partner had a lovely lunch here earlier today. The sever who looked after us, Dan, was lovely and made us feel very welcome. No complaints at all, we will definitely be coming back.

The service was absolutely shocking When we arrived the pub was far from busy but nobody greated us until we found someone to show us to our table The table itself was not that clean with lots of sticky patches and dirty menus We had preordered a bottle of Prosecco to be on the table as a surprise and it wasn’t there and nobody seemed to know about it or was willing to help. We had to ask x3 for it this it spoiled the surprise The food was acceptable - nothing special but the staff let the whole service down They were not attentive took ages to clear the table and we waited so long to order deserts that we gave up in the end and asked for the bill. We then had to ask x4 for the bill before it arrived and that point there was only 3 other table in the pub so it was not busy. This was a special occasion and the night before my wedding so a girlie meet-up We left feeling deflated and ignored And will not be returning or recommending to anyone else

Staff extremely helpful as my husband and I are both disabled. Unfortunately when we arrived with two family members for Sunday lunch there was no apple sauce, no mustard but the meal itself was good. We have been since and everything was as you want it to be.

We visited on a busy Saturday, it was busy but the staff were great and really organised. They communicated really well and let us know there were only 2 servers on, but our food all came out quickly. The lasagne and burger were good but desserts weren't great particularly the cherry and apple pie where the crumble topping was sludgy, not crispy, and undercooked so I didn't eat it. I pointed this out to the server and she was apologetic and removed from the bill. The caramel sundae wasn't quite so bad but appeared to have been scooped some hours before and was waiting in the freezer because it had a strange texture. Service excellent, food was ok overall. I would probably go back on a less busy day.

Lovely food, thanks to chef Tom for a great dinner!

We used to be regulars here years ago. They new us by name and were always friendly and welcoming. Food was good at reasonable prices. We have had a few birthday parties here too. Then there was a change in staff and it started to lose its atmosphere and service was poor. But last Friday, my Mom in law and myself, decided to give it another go as we wanted to sit outside on this sunny day. First, I was surprised to find a seat, as in the past you had to book to be sure of a place. We sat outside and I went in to order a drink and get menus. There was one young lady behind the bar. She was short with glasses and dark hair,..sorry I should have got her name...anyway she was serving someone else who had a lot of allergy questions, so I waited patiently. I waited and waited but no one else came to serve, so I asked the young lady if anyone else could serve. She looked behind herself and said" does it look like there is anyone else here..?" I thought her manner was very rude. I said..." there are a few staff around can't you ask them to help?" She said,.."they are busy too..you will have to wait! " Her attitude was very unprofessional and I was on the verge of walking out. I caught the eye of another young lady and she was a lot more friendly and stopped what she was doing and served me, which took all of 10 seconds. I was about to pay her with 20 pound for the bottle of wine and for her to keep the change, when she said its £ 25.00p I was shocked as the wine was £5.00 in the shops. I expect a mark up but not 400% Anyway I went outside, and decanted my story to my Mom in law and when we looked at the overpriced menu, we decided, with the one staff members attitude and the prices, we would go elsewhere. It's such a shame what has happened to a pub, that used to be so successful and our favourite.

Good food. Decent range of alcohol to choose from. Service was good

Steak cooked to perfection! Thanks to Chef Tom for the top tier food!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the outstanding mixed grill at the Old Irish Harp, thanks to the chef Tom. The dish was a beautiful blend of succulent meats with grilled vegetables and crispy potatoes! Each bite was better than the last and cooked to perfection by Chef Tom! The atmosphere of the restaurant was outstanding with a welcoming ambiance and friendly staff! Special thanks to the chef Tom and the rest of team for the great meal!

Lovely lunch, fab food and really good service. Very happy.

Great service from Dan and the rest of the team and the food was great

First time I’ve been here in years and it’s so much better than i remember. Came for a birthday lunch with my partner and it exceeded our expectations. Nicky served us and was so lovely. Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and really welcoming staff. We will definitely be back again soon!

Beautiful food, friendly staff and Service.

Our server Dan was very helpful! Thank you :)

Morgan did a fantastic job and offered great service.

Morgan was brilliant today. Thank you.x

We had a lovely lunch on the 3rd July, food was excellent, service was good even though it was very busy and the coffee machine was on a go slow. Nicky was very apologetic and more than made up for the wait!

We came here for dinner when visiting for business and had exceptional food and great service. Will definitely be coming back. Wonderful food!

Very disappointed after our visit yesterday this was our second visit in a month unfortunately last time the desserts were a let down very bland and this time I had the chicken tender starters the chicken was rock hard and inedible then I had the roast beef which was very cold the staff were run ragged definately more serving staff needed we waited 20 mins for the bill and in the end had to go up to the bar to pay it’s totally put us off visiting again

Decent pub with passable food. Waiting staff forgot our drinks, which was frustrating, and then brought drinks we didn't order. The food was not to bad. I ordered the mixed grill, and it wasn't bad. Wasn't the best, but very edible. Others in the party were happy with their food. Waiting staff were all lovely and cheerful.

The harp is in walking distance for us so over the past 7 years living here we have visited on a regular basis and could not really fault the food or staff Two months ago we went with friends the service was very slow they got the orders wrong and the steak was poor and chips cold so we explained to the manager and he gave us discount We went again two weeks ago and nothing changed we again spoke with the same manager who remembered us and he said he had staff problems and a new menu on the way Today we went for Sunday lunch with the grandkids,the new menu included chicken wings,3 to be precise and very dry The main courses which were 4 Sunday lunches one they got wrong and my Yorkshire pudding was cremated and warm food and hard roast potatoes.when the waitress asked if all was ok we told her what we thought about the excessive wait etc She gave us a 20 % discount but we would much rather pay the menu price and enjoy the food The staff are all very pleasant but that is not enough I am afraid We will not be going back in a hurry I am afraid
