The Harvester Inn in Stratford-on-Avon

Fantastic pizzas with a great choice of different toppings. I had avocado, mushroom and goats cheese. Friendly landlord and good beer what more can you ask for! Sat in the garden as such a lovely evening, which made a change this summer! Would recommend and we will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

Visited whilst holidaying on the canal. Due to the canal side pubs not serving food, we walked the short distance to The Harvester and it was definitely worth it. As in previous reviews, first impressions was it was very quirky, but we were immediately welcomed by the family who run it, who could not have been more friendly. A good selection of gins and beers were available, so all happy. We had the pizzas from the woodfire oven and they were absolutely delicious. Great food and staff made our visit most enjoyable.

Stayed in the village for a couple of days and were advised to try the wood-fired pizzas in the beer garden. They were bloody delicious! Great range of beers on offer, and evidently plenty locals eating and drinking there. We returned the following evening for dinner, and received a warm welcome from both hosts and locals alike. The veggie burgers were a revelation! The place is endearingly quirky, and has a real family-run feel. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the village.

Great wood-fired pizzas, nice beer, best landlord ever, even charged our phones. Beer garden large, beautiful and fun

we were moored up at Long Itchington. The men went for a drink here on the Saturday night but on our way back to Warwick we moored up on the Thursday night especially to come here. The owners are lovely with a great sense of humour. The three of us had the steak and chips (charcoaled!!! joking!) cooked just how the chef likes it - medium rare (another joke) but yes that is how we had it and it was beautiful. Love the quirky back yard, very welcoming and there is a pizza oven out back. the locals are very lucky to have a great pub / restaurant like this.

Been here a couple of times previously and have always come away completely satisfied. The wood fired pizzas are incredible and there is a great variety. The steak was the best steak my dad had ever tasted and he’s had many. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Beer garden is gorgeous and picturesque and clear a lot of effort has been put into the atmosphere. Will return!!!

We thought we would try the Harvester as part of the "eat out to help out" scheme. The place was a bit shabby and had a musty smell. The food was OK but it felt like we were getting what we paid for, rather than the up to £10 per person reduction.

After a 40 minute walk along the towpath from our moored narrowboat we found The Harvester was available for food on a Monday evening (not many others in LI)! Greeted very warmly and, even after it was 8, was informed that of course food was available. Made two very quick choices of fish n chips and scampi n chips. The inside of The Harvester was quirky to say the least but warm and comfortable. The food was good although it did seem to have come from a deep freeze rather than fresh. The pub was on the eat out to help out scheme and we definitely got what we paid for. Staff very friendly and helped us out with a quicker route back to the boat.

Good honest pub food, family run, friendly and helpful, good bike chat with Simon the landlord which drifted onto marathon stories, lots of fun 👍

The meals served in the restaurant are second to none. For mother's day I enjoyed shoulder of lamb, falling off the bone, and my mum had a delicious sea bass. Portions are copious and cooked to perfection. They also do good bar food and pizzas made to order. Staff are always friendly, children and dogs are very welcome. The toilets are being done up at present. It's a great, down to earth, village pub serving exceptional food. Special dietary requirements are not a problem.

Off the beaten track "Pub" in the middle of newly re-developed Polo grounds. Lovely feeling ambiance in this place, we often drop in for drinks. Usually quite quiet when we have been in, the bar staff are friendly and welcoming. Great for a relaxing drink outdoors in the summer too.

Called in for lunch and a pint, i had the homemade faggots which are delicious and my wife had a rump steak cooked perfect, followed by pint of proper ale. They have a good selection of ales

Visiting from Cornwall for a family birthday. Eight of us arrived to a lovely warm welcome. A great choice of Beers/Ciders at the bar along with various 'specials board' wines. Jars of local made pickles are a must- check out the labels for a giggle. Seated in the dining area, we all chose steaks as they are almost a thing of legend in the village. Served with veg and various spuds, I could've quite easily eaten my T-bone with a spoon. Quite simply the best steak I've had. We followed up with various delicious puds. Everyone waddled home "Fat Full". All in all the Harvester made way for a fabulous birthday, but my advice is don't wait for a special occasion, get down there, get yourself a real piece of 'me time' on a plate ASAP.

Went here with my family whilst on a boating holiday. We were concerned about walking back to the canal in the dark. The landlord was incredibly helpful & friendly and personally drove us back to our boat. The food was amazing & the welcome was fabulous. Perfect village pub. I cannot recommend highly enough.

So this is an old local pub. Its not changed inside a lot but that's what makes it different. The bar menu is great value with generous portions. Especially the ham,egg and chips and steaks. Go with an open mind and enjoy the food, and choice of drinks

Very friendly pub and excellent food. A great selection of pizzas including some more unusual combinations ( I had black pud, bacon and blue cheese) but made from scratch so you can have whatever toppings you like! Very accommodating of allergies. The chunky chips are delicious. A good ale selection too.

Came for Sunday lunch. Bit of a trip down memory lane. On first view the place could do with a touch of tlc... But then the service was amazing.... The coffee was great.... And when food came, it was simply amazing. And as best we could tell, the landlord was doing it all single handed, from cooking to serving food to serving behind the bar.... Somewhere where it really was worth seeing past first impressions and made for an amazing lunch.

We were looking for a meal on a Sunday in Long Itchington and the only place we could find who would do food was the Harvester.Do not expect luxurious surroundings or a menu bristling with Michelin stars. What you will find is a welcome and the provision of good quality home cooked food and drink. The landlord knows his pub, his drink and most importantly how to make you feel welcome and provide you with what you need.Highly recommended.

Food wasn’t great , hospitality was ok but more like a working mans club on the inside, very odd Decore

My partner and I decided at the last minute to go for a meal at the Harvester. I am usually a rump steak fan but this was not available so asked the landlord about the T bone steak.

We were really well looked after as a group of 12 by Sharon and Simon. Excellent steaks and the drinks kept flowing.

Our friends introduced us to the harvester and we have been a number of times now, both with them and other friends/family.

Great atmosphere immediately in this great village pub. We visited on the first Sunday of the month when there is a folk music and other event called The Willow and Tool Music Parlour - great night's entertainment.

We popped our head in to ask if food was being served, but there was no one around. This was the fourth pub we had visited just trying to get some lunch. No joy here either.

visited after walking the dog didn't eat as already eaten the landlord made us very welcome ale was ok and hubby is a camra member , the pot plants in the garden were fab for time of year as we have had it very dry and also a lot of rain . landlord was very friendly and made us welcome .would visit again when in area .

We ate here a few days ago. The food was good and a good choice. We did have to wait a while, but that was due to there only being two staff. However, nobody complained and everyone was happy with their respective meals.

Un poco gastado y cuidado ninguno de los peores. Su la cosechadora no una cosechadora gracias al Señor! ! Un buen pub con cerveza jolly bien. No probamos la comida, pero la intención de hacerlo pronto. Es curioso en comentarios de los senderistas no parecen...

Mi marido y yo había sido un 8 km caminando en el campo de los alrededores y al llegar de vuelta en Long Itchington estábamos muy hambrientos, así que decidimos en la cosechadora para el almuerzo. Al entrar en el pub a través de una...

No haber sido en un tiempo, pero por lo que sé, todavía es el mismo chef. Si es así usted puede obtener mejores carnes nunca. Este era familiar, antiguo pero encantador ambiente. Bien merece una visita.

Se aproxima, lo estábamos esperando a ser un encantador pub inglés, nuestro grupo nos sorprendió para entrar por una puerta moderna en un desalmado, upvc poco atractiva, blanco frío y abrumadora.

Our sonte had heard about this place from work colleagues who recommended the steaks. We were not disappointed. Fillet steaks were perfectly cooked with tasty peppercorn sauce. Staff were very friendly, worth a visit.

We live in the village so are lucky to be able to call this great little pub our local.The steaks are quite literally one of the best I've ever had.They have a good variety of real ales and ciders. The owners are friendly and welcoming.The walled garden is a great little sun trap and the new pizza oven at the top of the garden is a great little bonus!Would definitely recommend a visit for either a steak or a pizza.

Staying at a local travelodge and we needed some dinner. Great range in their menu choices. Puddings to die for unfortunately was far too full after one of the BEST steaks I've ever eaten.

I think this is a rather special place in a quirky kind of way!! I was quite surprised though that the menu was quite expensive for a country pub. Nevertheless.....it was a pleasant day and so we chose to sit outdoors after being told that at the top of the outdoor space there was a wood fired pizza stand!The outdoor area is fun but seriously lacking in shade on a hot day. Please could we have some umbrellas? The pizzas were very, very good and I very seldom have pizza because I am not a lover of.....but this was good. I had the smoked salmon and saffire (excuse the spelling) one. Lovely afternoon all round. Will definitely go again,,,,when there are some umbrellas up!!!

Fantastic place good value for money friendly staff great food and good atmosphere excellent beers now doing pizza good value

Proper pub with excellent beer, real cider and proper home-cooked food - not posh but real food. A recent innovation is wood-fired pizzas in the pleasant courtyard garden at weekends.

Lovely little gem of a pub, beautiful back garden great cider and service with a smile. For young ladies the guy that does the food is HOT. Well worth a visit.

On a canal holiday going past the village; found the only place seemingly serving food. The Harvester did brilliantly - fantastic food, lovely beer, really welcoming staff! Would really, really recommend.

Not a "Harvester" chain - but an excellent independent local pub (albeit not plush or fancy) with great beers and fantastic steaks! Keep meaning to try the fish focused nights but never been in the area at the time. Ignore the soulless & poor service at the Buck & Bell or the really dire Duck on the Pond and the rip-off Cuttle nearby (the Two Boats is ok by the way, but not supporting the annual beer fest is a major negative in my mind ) just go to the one the locals trust

Went there for food while staying at a local caravan site, six of us had food and drinks, the steak was fabulous and the lamb. Landlord and staff couldn't do enough for us, very friendly and professional.

We came here on a Saturday evening in February. The pub was very quiet, which surprised us -- and was even more surprising after we had eaten!Service was very friendly and the food we had was really good. The undoubted star of the show was the Fillet Steak (which we both had). This was one of the best steaks I've eaten in a while -- full of flavour and real melt in your mouth stuff.We will be back........

We chose The Harvester Inn to dine with a group of friends whose birthdays all fall within February. Sadly, we ended up as the only diners in the restaurant - and that made it hard to understand why my first choice of starter or the main course were sold out! Overall the food was acceptable, though uninspiring. The service was OK, though why one of our party wasn't able to get the promised cream or ice cream on his dessert was hard to discern! Nor the most sparkling of evenings for a birthday celebration by any means!

Without doubt the best place to eat in Long Itchington and some of the best steaks we've ever eaten in our lives... and we like our steak. Proper village pub, warm welcome from Sharon and Simon and a great selection of wines and ales. It's our 'go to' place whenever we have visitors now as we know it won't disappoint. We feel ridiculously spoiled having this pub as our local. Can't comment on anything other than the steak as it's that good, it's all we ever order. Oh, and the chips ...potato heaven.

We came across this pub over 10 years ago and had been impressed then by the excellent food and beers on offer as well as the friendliness of the staff. We returned recently to eat there on two ocassions and were delighted to find that things hadn't changed. This is a traditional village pub where people go to enjoy well kept beers and friendly chat. It is as far away from a chain 'sling'n'ping' pub as you can get. Food is freshly cooked using good produce and Simon and his team are only too happy to accommodate requests for slight variations to the menu. If you want plastic food with plastic beer and no character, this isn't the pub for you, but if you are after good food and drink at reasonable prices in a convivial atmosphere then it is highly recommended.

Called in for lunch on a Thursday lunch time. They are welcoming of cyclists, there are locking points outside and they will even lend you a lock from under the bar!! They had several real ales on as well as ciders and a stout. It was National Sausage Week and, as well as their usual (extensive) menu, they had several different sausages (made by local butcher Joseph Morris who also supplies their meat). We opted for lamb and mint and wild boar with apple, one with mash, one with chips, veg and gravy also. Delicious! The landlord and landlady are very chatty and friendly and welcoming. The food was very good and reasonably priced and the beer very good. They have nice touches like specialist "Rabbie Burns mustard" (we want some!!!) We will return soon!!

We moored our boat on the Grand Union Canal and walked the dogs into the village of Little Itchington. We found the Harvester by accident and decided to pop in for one. This was a real find and the Landlord and Landlady were, without doubt, two of the friendliest people I have ever met. There were several interesting beers on tap, all very well kept, and the food was sensible pub grub. It is dog friendly and has one of the most welcoming atmospheres I have ever found. There is also a very good folk night with really good musicians appearing. I have no idea how a small village pub like this attracts musicians of that standard. Try a ginger gin if you go there!

We took a bike ride and stumbled across this pub. As it was early the pub was quiet so wasn't sure if to eat or not.... I'm glad we did.We sat outside after ordering. What was brought out was nothing short of a banquet!! The manager was chatting away and just brought a little bit more every time he popped out to try. Every part of the food tasted amazing, this caused us to try and eat it all.The only downside to this was the 4.5mile cycle home! It was worth the extra weight though

Friendly service, good real ales. Large beer garden. Four of us had a steak, they were all cooked to perfection. Fantastic meal all round. Thank you.

This is a small tightly run place (by that I mean just a few staff) so it took at least 10mins before we got a drink at the bar.We then went through to eat. I appreciate this is well known for it's steaks, but as I don't eat steak I cant comment on those. I ordered scampi and chips-and that's exactly what I got. A big plate of scampi and chips. Dull as dish water. Not a piece of salad to dress the plate up, nothing. The chips were not well cooked and the scampi was not great quality-more coating than scampi.I didn't bother to stay for dessert and I definitely would not return.

Great company great pub, staff pleasent and very accommodating .superb steaks, our NZ mate reckoned best steak in UK .

If you want bling, spangles or chi chi style don't come here. If you want good real ale, top class steak, plump Dublin Bay prawns, amazing puds and very cheeky chutney,and,if fine, a relaxing moment among the banana & olive trees out back, then landlord Simon's Harvester inn is just the ticket. You won't find a juke box or pool table, but you will find a genuine Warwickshire village welcome enhanced by an AMAZING variety of cask ales.Very highly recommend.

We were looking for a Harvester chain restaurant near Leamington Spa and accidentally booked The Harvester Inn. We were able to park on the road (no yellow lines etc), nice bar area, great lager and wine (they also had some terrific Real Ales). Nice dining area. We had Fillet Steak Au Poivre £17.50 and Sirloin Chasseur £16.50; served with a dish of new potatoes, chips and veg, puds Strawberry Eaton Mess Cheesecake+cream and Chocolate and Praline Profitorolls+ice cream. All delicious. Food is sourced locally where pos; meals in the chain Harvester could not compare. Clean toilets. Not a posh place, quite rustic but good service, great menu and great food.

We visited a afternoon boot fair in Long Itchington & ended up finding The Harvester and what a lovely unexpected surprise. Simon & Barbara were happy to serve us even though they were due to close. All we can say is the food was excellent & generous with a warm welcome. Highly recommend this pub for its excellent food & welcome. Five Star.

Returned, following pleasant evening drinking last year, to sample the food. The Good Friday Special lived up to its name - fish & chips for two with bottle of wine of your choice for a mere £20.Meal was excellent, as was the Sauvignon Blanc, great value.Staff very friendly, even brought a snack for the dog.I'll be back!

This is a great village pub, not many of those left nowadays. However, Simon and Sharon will welcome anyone with open arms. Just the bar food alone is superb. I am not sure how even basic dishes can taste so great? They will leave you wanting to make additional visits. However, visit the restraunt and you are in for a treat. the food is superb, homely yet professional. I would recommend that you just go and give it a try, i am pretty sure that you will visit again. Also remember the local beer festival too, which is a highlight during the year. A fabulous selection fo drinks and a snug atmosphere will see you stay longer than you imagined. Highly recommended.

You would be hard pressed to find a better steak than the one we had here. Starters were very good also, tried prawn cocktail, deep fried mushrooms filled with pate. Main courses fillet steak, Rossini steak,(served on thin bread and topped with pate) and scampi. All served with generous helpings of fresh veg; carrots, peas and new potatoes and very good chips. Cheesecake was to die for and the chocolate pudding with soft centre of hot chocolate sauce was scrummy. Service was very good and not too expensive. Would definitely visit again

We picked this pub having looked at other reviews on-line, and we were not disappointed. We were doing a round walk including canal walking and this was our lunch stop. This was basically my 82nd birthday celebration with my wife and twin daughters and their husbands. We were made welcome and we were very satisfied. We had the bar snack menu averaging £5 for a generous portion, in my case, of scampi and chips, beautifully cooked, and a very tasty pudding to follow. Thoroughly recommended.

The Harvester is one of our favourite pubs. Although we come from Coventry, it is certainly worth the drive as Simon's ales and home cooked food are the best for miles around. The selection of ales is ever changing, with local breweries as well as foreign ones being featured. All are well kept and perfect to go with the finest of steaks. Be sure to try the filet steak Rossini, with a helping of the unusual mustards offered on your table. The pub is a little gem during the May beer festival, although we love visiting in the winter when it's a bit quieter. If you are in the area, be sure to stop for a pint!

It is hard to rate this Pub/Restaurant as some aspects were excellent and others fell completely flat. Looking at other reviews I wouldn't say it was tatty at all but very cold inside and they turned off the heating after a while. There were 2 other groups of diners bar ourselves one turned out to be the owners. The hand pumped beer was excellent and the bar and waiting staff and even the owner or owner's wife were very polite. There was a pleasant group of drinkers around the bar which had tables with old fashioned lanterns on and the bigger restaurant was very inviting.It appeared to me to have remains of a huge ingle nook which has been removed and they store things in it which detracts a bit from the rest of the surroundings. We had steaks which were superb with home made sauces. I could taste the wine in mine and I have not had a steak like that for years and ample portions for the price. The vegetables comprised of fluffy light chips and also potatoes in their skins, multi coloured carrots in their skins too and one sole spoonful of peas which looked daft in a large serving dish. A large basket of warm bread and a pile of anchor butter portions completed the table. They also had horseradish and mustard on every table in screw top pots which I didn't fancy dipping in as everybody must do that. (Not that I needed any.) Our puddings were a disaster. Stale cheesecake is not acceptable, the waiter did apologise but no recompense was made or offered. The top was rubbery and tasted like Haribo sweets when it was supposed to be winter fruits. We ordered expressos which came as the weakest watery coffee I have ever seen served in tea glasses with crystalised brown sugar on a stick which wouldn't melt in the tepid liquid. There was no continuity between the services and I had to get up (which personally I prefer) to order the drinks the water and I went in to the kitchen to order the coffee. They had no still bottled water either, personally I don't mind but my partner does. I should have said something about the desserts and coffee when I paid but we were desperate to go home as we were so cold and were sitting with our coats on - so apologes to them for that. The Harvester (which is not part of the Harvester chain) for it's part is pristinely clean as are the loos but my god are they cold. It is located in a beautiful village setting with a church 5 other pubs, canal and duckpond. They also have a garden outside with heaters, maybe we should have sat out there!

A small and rather unprepossessing pub, though in a pretty village, this was an unexpectedly fine dining experience. Recommended by friends, we found ourselves pretty much alone as a foursome, in an empty dining room, with a few bar patrons outside. Not usually a great recommendation! But the meal was superb. All four of us had different meals, steak, fish and two sorts of chicken, and all were substantial, beautifully cooked and well presented, all done in a very personal and hands-on way. We felt positively pampered. And the selection of special gins, for a gin aficionado, was quite exceptional! Loved it, and will be back next year...

Spent Saturday evening in bar. Good atmosphere and friendly staff, and three well kept real ales on offer, and apparently regular change of guest beers. Wanted to eat there but no veggie meals on menu, which is are shame as the meals looked really good. Will definitely go back next time cruising GU canal through the area.

This is the second time I have visited the harvester and its the second exquisite steak I've had, probably 2 of the best cooked and lean steaks I've in fact tasted. You need to visit with an open mind as its not the smartest of venues but there is some quirky stuff that makes it a nice visit.Firstly the wine list, well what wine list, its all on the wall and a vast variety that have all been chosen from the owners by the looks of it, so we treated ourselves to a Australian Riesling which was very good however, they didn’t have a cooled bottle so we had to wait for it to cool in an ice bucket which was a little poor and slightly unorganised/lazy on their behalf. On a positive we asked what the wine was like prior to ordering it and the owner said try it and if you don’t like it you can leave it for them to drink, made us chuckle.I had the chasseur sirloin which was gorgeous and filled the plate, the only very slight criticism was the sauce was on the thin side but minor, my girlfriend has the fillet which looked mouth-watering as obviously tasted that way as none was shared. They came with a selection of potatoes and veg which was ample.Overall its clear that the people that run the place really care about the food even if it is a little bit dated we both walked away with a smile on our faces; due to the quality and quantity it’s well worth the money and all the wines are good value knowing that not huge amounts are order (the cases where on the floor). Will definitely return to the Harvest again when a good steak intake is required.

We cycle here every week on a Wednesday and stop for a pint. Decided to come here as we felt unwanted at a pub down the road and found that there is always good beer, and a good atmosphere at the harvester.

We visited last night for dinner, after a recommendation about the great steaks served here. We have visited several times for drinks and the beer festival, but this was our first meal here. The pub is your usual village pub, with lots of locals and their dogs. There is a separate dining room, but we chose to eat in the lounge area. My partner had the fillet steak au poivre and I had the fillet steak Rossini. Both were absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection and served with nicely cooked vegetables and chunky chips. The prices don't break the bank either, and there is a cheaper bar menu with a good selection of alternative meals. We had to wait a while for our meals, but it was worthwhile and we'll definitely be back in the very near future.

This place upon first impression looks a little tired, scruffy and not the sort of place you'd expect to get good food. But if you can see past the decor you will be treated to some great quality food at a great price. Just stick to the bottled beer as the draught leaves a little to be desired.

Allows dogs in the bar which is brilliant for us. First though a bit scruffy but then very friendly, Very well priced (cheap!) food, well cooked. Seperate restaurant area - we didnt go in there but it looked like an old fashioned country pub. Very good if you like an unpretentious atmosphere and great basic food - my husband said his steak was excellent.

Called in here for a bite to eat one lunchtime. Good little well priced menu with your average pub grub.. A more traditional looking old school pub offering great value and service.

The steaks here are wonderful - you have to book but do so - it's great! one of my favourite pubs of all time.

I know this is part of a chain but the food is definitely delicious and well worth the money. Have been several times and enjoyed it immensely each time

A great menu with good honest food with no ott fanciness. Highly recommended for a tasty budget meal.

This is my favorite place to eat around here. Rick and Barbera are both very welcoming and their son (chef) is great too, many of the family muck in to help waitressing etc and its a really old fashioned family affair. Good wine selection by the look of it, although I usually drink cider. Its also Camra pub so has a good selection of beers, constantly changing. Its pretty dated inside verging on dingy but the atmosphere and the steaks are more than enough to make up for it. They are the best I have had anywhere! Rick will never tell me where he buys them from! Always cooked to perfection blue to well done not a problem. Served with onion rings, new potates, chips, a couple of veg choices and a small side salad. Fresh bread as an appetiser too. Rick also has a selection of excellent mustards. I didn't eat mustard until I went to this pub, but they are all so different and are fab with the meat.I can't rate it highly enough, its a place I would also happily pop into on my own or with the dogs after a walk (bar only) and feel very relaxed.

When we arrived,7-30 on a tuesday evening,we were the only people in the pubWe were greeted politely and i was served swiftly with a pint of bitter,my wife asked for a glass of wine and asked what was available, she was shown a bottle of merlot and was told that it was a good choice. It was.We were shown the ala carte menu and told that a bar snacks menu was also available for lighter choices. The menu was full of classics from the seventies,steak rossini,steak au poivre etc.We both fancied a steak luckily and both chose fillet au poivre £16:50 ea they were served with new potatoes and chips,flat beans with bacon and peas. The sauce was old school with just the right amount of fire but those steaks,oh those steaks. Absolutly superb,hand cut and dry aged,superb.I would recommend getting past the seventies paraphernalia and getting down to long itchington just for them!Ps the beer,hooky,was well kept too.

The finest of ales and the most delicious steaks ever ; Service like no other ; hidden Gem such a friendly place

The Harvester is a pub in in Long Itchington, I went with friends and was really surprised at the excellent quality of food. My friends had lemon sole, which they raved about. It was fresh, and not over cooked and it came with tender stem broccoli, chantenay carrots and potatoes. I had a steak, which was lovely and perfectly cooked. It came with nicely done chips, onion rings and a salad.The menu is a touch 1970s in choice and presentation but what they do is done well, there is a great beer and wine selection that is reasonably priced.The restaurant has atmosphere and you do not feel packed in, the customer service is very good but not over the top. The owner genuinely seemed disappointed when I could not finish my steak (owing to the size) and was concerned that I had not enjoyed it. This is rare, in many places plates are cleared without a question.I went again with my husband a week later as enjoyed it so much. It is well priced rather than cheap, however the portion sizes are very generous.
