The Moorhen in Harlow

Milos was our waiter he was very professional and lovely mannered. Milos was dressed smart and always smiling. Quick service and great food

Amazing pub with such lovely views in the summer I can’t imagine how busy the garden will be food was lovely and fast thank you Sue for your service.

Milos was our was our waiter, very polite and courteous. Professional and did not rush us. Table service and quality and quantity of foid was very good

Sunday Roast was great! Good taste + serving size + value! We were served by Milos, good man, great service! We will definitely visit again. 🤩

If you’re wandering through Harlow and your stomach starts to sing the blues, direct your feet towards The Moorhen, where the chicken fajitas are so good, they practically dance off the plate! Let’s talk about the chicken fajitas—oh, what a spectacle! I half expected a round of applause from nearby tables as these sizzling beauties made their grand entrance. Wrapped in tortillas so soft you’d think they were crafted from clouds, these fajitas packed a punch of flavour that could knock your socks off. It was like a fiesta on a plate, and my taste buds were wearing tiny sombreros. Now, onto our server, Reece, the maestro of the evening. This chap wasn’t just serving food; he was doling out joy with a side of cheeky banter that kept us giggling between bites. In conclusion, if you find yourself in Harlow with a craving for some culinary delight, waltz on over to The Moorhen. Come for the fajitas, stay for Reece’s service. A dining experience that’s as entertaining as it is satisfying—I can’t recommend it enough! Who knew chicken wrapped in a tortilla could be such a hoot?

The Moorhen and Sue in particular were excellent in accommodating a group of 28 of us for breakfast before a golf trip. Service was fantastic and the food just as good. Would absolutely recommend.

Basic pub food but cooked really well. It was not overcooked as in many such establishments and the service was friendly and prompt. Would recommend especially for families with children, great play facilities. Toilets were clean, tidy and checked regularly.

The server Reece was absolutely fantastic nothing was to much trouble for him, very patient aswel considering there was 3 children in our group

Wonderful and quick service. Shannon was a lovely host to our table. Excellent all round. Highly recommended. We were served our meals within 15 min. Shannon was super attentive to all customers in her section.

Was out for lunch for a double birthday celebration. Most of us had the Trio Roast. Food was excellent value for money, none of us could fault it. Just want to take this opportunity on thanking the waiter Milos for being very hospitable during our visit. He is a credit to the restaurant!

MORGAN made everyone’s night better and help us work the app and nothing was too much to ask honestly would just go back to this pub just for him alone his very professional and has a very friendly manner

Visited the moorhen in Harlow today, fab pub. Morgan is the best worker at this pub. He is so helpful and kind and is very professional. 10/10 would recommend coming here with friends, family or on a date night. Ask for Morgan for the best dining experience.

Sophie was a delight- excellent steak too. Also best priced beer I’ve had in a long time. Dog friendly, good atmosphere all around for a pandemic.

Attentive, friendly and more than accommodating for our visit. Great to have him serving and would come back based on his service.

Jordan was very attentive and an excellent waiter/host. Fantastic service. Reasonably priced food and great service. Nice location and great covered garden for food and drinks.

What a fantastic place to go. With great staff and great food. Perfect place to go. Keep up the good work

Great food served by great staff. Even on a cold and windy day!! Good selection to chose from. Thank you

Great service server by Morgan even on a cold and windy day! Thanks again for your service and great food!

I went here yesterday with my boyfriend and we had a lovely meal but when my boyfriends meal came out it was cold but the lovely staff member named Ellie she was amazing.

I love the inside of this pub, so was hopeful about eating outside and they did not disappoint. The heaters and shelter was a lovely bonus and the service was quick, friendly and the coffee and food was good :) I would definitely recommend

Food and service was absolutely fantastic. Sarah in particular is an absolute star. Highly recommend.

Sarah and Liam are the best Food is great Bar staff are fit All in all highly recommended Lovely location great visit

I went for a romantic meal with my partner Lee and I couldn't have been more impressed. A fantastic experience that will only enhance our relationship.

Just moved to the area and received a fab service from Morgan after stumbling across the Moorhen on an evening walk. He was attentive, welcoming, friendly and an all round star! Look forward to visiting again soon and hope Morgan would still be in town as he mentioned he was covering due to short staff and wasn’t local. Really great asset.

Very accommodating realising we had two children with us, moving us to a heated shelter when the weather turned and rained. Good food at a very reasonable price. All staff were very cheerful and friendly even with the poor weather conditions.

Upon arriving at the moorhen we were informed about the Covid rules which made us feel at ease straight away, service was amazing considering how busy it was, drinks were flowing and the atmosphere was great, I would definitely recommend this pub and we will definitely be back in the future!!

Very nice food, and service from Sophie and the team. Nice situated pub facing the river and lovely indoor cover seating outside with heaters for the chilly evenings.

So happy to be able to go back to the moorhen after so long with this pandemic to have a few hours out and being able to enjoy a lovely meal in a lovely friendly environment all social distancing in place and great service from staff already booked again would recommend to people well done to all staff

It was great to be back at the Moorhen last weekend! They have done a wonderful job with the garden..installing heaters and lighting..looks really pretty at night! As ever, great food and great service from Sophie (Friday) and Jordon ( Saturday). Table booked for the next weekend..wheather permitting!

We had Jordan as our server, Jordan was very helpful and polite. Jordan helped us with all our orders and demands. The food was lovely and cheap but taste delicious! Would 100% come back again and 100% rare Jordan brilliant server! Thanks jord!

Very happy with the service from Sophie, very nice quick and confident, could not fault her what do ever thank you

Highly recommended! Really great burgers & the breaded mushrooms with the Jack Daniels sauce are really good. The staff went above and beyond, Sophie and Sarah were both brilliant!

Sarah was absolutely brilliant , most welcoming and accommodating cannot fault the service we had. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit

Lovely garden, great location and excellent service would definitely recommend this location for a nice lunch or a few drinks

Amazing time in the garden this afternoon. Superb service from Sarah and her team. Highly recommend it

Stoped by the other day with my mate for the first time in a while to have a bit of food and a drink the food was superb couldn’t fault it at all I had the smoking jack burger and it was so nice Sophie who served us made sure we were okay and that we had everything we needed definitely going back when it’s warmer

First trip to a lovely beer garden since restrictions eased and it was great! Food was brilliant and the service was outstanding from our waitress Rosie. Very friendly & efficient! Looking forward to coming back soon :) and

Had a great first visit back after lockdown restrictions lifted. Alteration to garden looked great and Jordon couldn't do enough for us. Food was hot and drinks were cold. Will be back soon.

Visited Monday and although very cold weather, a warm welcome from all, lovely food and service. We will be back soon!

I visit this place regularly and it never disappoints, and be missed my visits here and was very happy to hear it was reining even for outdoor service only.Even though it was cold and raining the usual team looked happy and has smiles on their faces which couldn’t of been easy in the circumstances.I was sat under the new covered area and next to a heater which was appreciated in the chilly weather.Food was of a very high standard as usual and was very well looked after.This in my opinion is one of the best restaurants around and I will continue to visit and recommend to everyone I know.I have really missed this place

I visited the moorhen on Monday with friends for lunch and drinks. Food came out in good time. I had the vegan beetroot steak (highly recommended) Couldn’t fault the staff for their top quality service, considering the pubs and restaurants have just opened. Loving the new outdoor heated area! Will be coming back again for sure!

Had an excellent time at the Moorhen the other day food was superb and staff were really friendly can not fault them at all. Jordon kept coming over to make sure we we’re all alright and if we wanted anything. The Moorhen team worked really hard in all weather conditions we had on the first day pubs reopened will definitely be coming again just hope the weather is better.
