The Village Inn in Harrow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited here before and after going for a meal in a restaurant close by. Drinks were a fair price and decent outside seating at the back. Staff not over friendly but maybe due to the customers they must have to deal with. Served our needs on the evening but not in any rush to return.

Another great day at this pub. The staff are great, the customers are mostly illiterate. Apparently standing at the bar and doing a crossword is fine even if other people can't get served. Not being able to speak a coherent sentence without using the 'F' word (at least ten times) is fine. Supporting Trump and The Tories is fine (even though most of you can't read)! The customers are mostly the scum of the earth, how the staff put up with it I will never know!

Been going here for a while now and it never disappoints! Had a steak for dinner, only 10 quid and it melted in my mouth. Service is quick and staff are very friendly and always making banter. I don't understand the reviews saying it's unclean... I always see staff cleaning tables and any empty glass on my table is taken away within minutes. Don't judge off the bad experiences!

I have been visiting the pub for several years on a fairly regular basis. Everything about the place has continually gone down hill. The current management are not friendly. The food is of poor quality. The place is old and dirty. Toilet are poor. It needs a total overhaul and redesign in my opinion. There are far better pubs in the area. The only reason the place is still running is because the beer is cheap, if the taps are working.

I was sitting outside with my dog because of Wetherspoons antiquated view on dogs. I was asked to leave because not all of Max was on the pavement. Loud drunks are apparently fine.

I can’t fathom how this place exists ? When does this pub ever get cleaned ? Tables unwashed and sticky , bar area looks like it’s never seen a duster . Brass pump area particular with a lovely lair off dust. Just what you need when your pulling a pint. Waitress tried palm me off with a poor pulled pint of Guinness. I refused but apparently the manager thought this was acceptable? In Ireland you be wearing it if you pulled that crap! Then let’s get to the food , my guts are telling me why ?? Poor quality frozen tasteless crap. Left half of it and walked out without hesitation. Wetherspoons what’s going on ? Your getting as bad as Greene king pubs in the area and I refuse eat their crap either. Such a shame as it’s the only boozer in the area. I’ve tried here a couple times and every time I say never again. Off now to hopefully remove the crap I’ve ingested and try soothe my guts back to health. Unless things change avoid like the place the plague. Shameful

There is a manager in there called Tyra taking over from the usual GM apparently. She must be the rudest employee of Wetherspoons. I not sure she feels with her own she can get away with it but she is just absolutely rude!

Another awful afternoon at this pub. Staff really nice (Nikki , Jade and Shareen) although there doesn't seem to be any leadership since Eric left. Usual loud mouthed fat idiot mouthing off (I know who he is), should be barred for life. Apart from that everything pretty much the same as normal.

Downhill..which is a shame Not even worth feeding this back go Wetherspoon as they never respond or act . Great place if you want luke warm to cold food . Sent burger back because it was stone cold . It came back barely luke warm ..., which I suppose matched the chips and onion rings anyway Told staff , but , what can they do ?

We arrived at 12.10pm, ordered our food and waited for 40 mins before speaking to a member of staff of to find out where our food was. We were told that the chef had gone on his lunch break (during lunch time?!) and not bothered to cook our food. When walking through the pub we noticed that many tables had food or empty plates, so not sure how true that was. We then had to stand and wait for the servers to get our food before having to ask them to get it because they were standing around doing nothing. We then ended up being late getting back to work. Terrible service.

Not great at real ales, average at best. wont obliged customer requirements Food ucky, no ' is everything ok' afterwards, veggie food cross contaminated (tastes of bacon,)

This has to be one of the worst pubs in London. The staff are nice (if you are lucky enough to find anybody behind the bar!) The customers are the scum of the earth. If you want to drink in a pub where nobody can speak a sentence without using the 'F' word about 20 times then come here. If you have more than 1 brain cell then I would suggest going somewhere else!

Not clean when open for breakfast, cleaners leave and the tables are sticky and dirty Always opens late , Manager has a bad attitude, boorish and rude.

We don't visit Rayner's Lane very often but we have lived in & around this area ( not for many decades , though ) Now that the dominant pub for many year's has gone , at least in it's incarnation as a pub ( although the building survives ) , if you want a drink around here you have a few bars to choose from or The Village Inn. A Wetherspoons is , well , a Wetherspoons although most try to reflect something of the area or history on which they stand, This one is reasonably large with the floorspace on 2 levels. Coming in off the street you have a large , pretty much Square seating area with an L - shaped bar creating a narrower area to one side of it as you pass through to a lower level containing a long , narrow seating area. There is a welcome bonus of a pleasant garden to the rear. The walls are hung with old photos of the local area. Usual fruit machines scattered about. One of the things I really like about Wetherspoon's is that they are always nice & warm inside - something that cannot be said about many pubs. None of this rubbish about pinning the doors open - who wants to drink cold lager in a chilly breeze? Service was prompt , tables clean , drinks in good order & the toilets were modern & clean. Enjoyed our visit & will certainly visit again.

Asked for a pint of Guinness and a worker came out ( a women ) and she dropped aload of the pint before i got it and when i got it it was dripping all over the sides and when i question her her reply was " you ordered in the beer garden so this is what you get, do you want the pint or not " and i asked for the manager and she told me she was the manager. " i own the place " apparently. Customer service in this place is brutal. 14.06.21 16:56

The fact that it's very close to the station is a major plus otherwise it's a wetherspoons so we get what we pay for, the onion rings which I applaud spoons for were gewat, the drinks were good for what they were just gin s and the staff were actually quite nice and friendly

Well, on a lazy Sunday morning to get such a great welcome from Zed and Precious, was the best way to start my day. They are 100% focused and offer amazing customer service. The banter between them and regulars really makes me want to become a regular too. I ordered a large breakfast, which was freshly cooked, arrived hot (as you’d expect) and tasted very good. The place was kept really clean and service offered was excellent. All in all a great experience and I’ll be back for sure. Big shout out to Precious, Zed and the entire team for making this a visit to remember for all the right reasons. A breath of fresh air in such trying times.

Service: professionnel 2.5/5 Personnels : sympa et serviable. 2.5/5 Ambiance : familiale 5/5 Propreté : bien 4/5 Qualités produits : moyen 2/5 Rapport qualité/prix : 2.5/5 Super spot pour prendre en verre quand il fait chaud, la petite terrasse à l’arriéré super. Très bonne ambiance dans le pub pour passer un moment en famille ou amis. Je suis parti plusieurs fois sans déception, cernant l'ambiance et la boisson. La nourriture reste celle d'un pub et non d'un restaurant les prix sont corrects. Sur place il y a peu de Pub donc celui-ci et le Ruby's sont sympa. Recommandation : 4/5

Went for breakfast. I wanted orange juice, but was told "There's not a lot left" even though I could see 5, at least, tall cartons in the fridge behind the bar. This was like 9 in the morning? Unbelievable. I also ordered 'eggs royale', but for some reason I wasn't able to have poached eggs and had to have fried eggs on top of smoked salmon. Now, the most amateur chef knows that no way are eggs royale served in this manner and is a total no no. It should never happen. Needless to say I will not be returning. I have never experienced anything like it - ever. The only good thing about it is, I wasn't paying, nor would I pay if I was!

Lovely beer garden just what you need on a hot summers day, refreshing choice of gins available and ales to suit my better halves hoppy taste buds. Friendly service all round, the staff which made for an excellent atmosphere.

I love Fish chips and mushy peas. I recommend them here, they are consistently very good and have been excellent a few times. Perfectly cooked chips and the batter. 😋 ...Always piping hot too. This recommendation comes from someone who ‘lunches out’ almost everyday either with friends or alone. Richmond, Mayfair, Putney and all over central London. I also eat in Michelin Star restaurants around the world ...when my sons are treating me.

My local pub, and always enjoyable to visit. The staff are always friendly and the prices for drinks very reasonable. What's not to like!

Visited the Village inn with my family during Steak night. The food was scrumptious. Jermaine was excellent. Made sure our table was clean and gave exceptional service. The bar staff were also very friendly. Especially Ryan, Adam and Shannon. They all made us feel very welcome and as a result will be returning again. Thanks for a lovely night.

We visited the pub for fish Friday. The fish was very good, they swapped chips for jacket potatoe and peas for side salad as I asked. Very big improvement since my last visit (12/2017).

Popped in for a light lunch and enjoyed it, the three of us had salad and it was very tasty, then we had three chocolate brownies with ice cream and it was wonderful, so full up with an afternoon to work! Would go back again for lunch

We stopped off for an evening drink after eating at the Fat Crab .As expected on a Friday night it was lively and buzzing with young people .An ok pub for a drink .

The nearby Rayners Lane Estate has become a "dumping ground" for problem families and this pub seems to have gone downhill in line with it. If you enjoy mixing with the sort of people who can"t manage a sentence without including the 'f word", then come here, otherwise give it a miss and go instead to Wetherspoons at Ruislip manor where, though slightly more expensive, you will get an all round better experience.

The Village Inn, Rayners lane is a normal pub that although offers cheap prices and reasonable drinks looks quite tatty on the inside and offers nothing overly special. This is only a good choice if you want to be near this location and price is a big factor.

Always a great place for a drink and a bit of food and good service. Really good selection of ales too.

Lovely friendly staff. Gina was very hospitable with the china. Lovely new indian starter dish. Good luck for the promotion.

The new manager Eric is completely useless. Always walking around with his white board even though there are lots of people waiting to be served. No wonder staff don't care as the manager himself doesn't seem to care. Seems to us locals that he id trying to drive the locals away. Pub needs new manager who cares and then train staff the same way. Mr Tim Martin please improve the village inn and do not close this pub.

Aviso no ketchup (dirigir no es un factor decisivo, pero no podía entrar alguien y tienda. Hace dos semanas la señal sin hielo de nuevo no podía nadie. Cuando el viernes la comida llegó a la mesa la señora fish n chips dijo que sí por favor y me pone la comida y se fue. No alt n vinagre y salsas están allí' o 'disfrutará de su cena 'lo tiraban en la mesa. Un tipo detrás de la barra era de al menos un poco hablador si sólo mencionar que sólo tenían 3 horas de trabajo. En un montón de cucharas y este se está convirtiendo en uno de los peores.

This is our 2nd time for breakfast and we were once again very happy! It was like seeing our friend Hannah again, she instantly remembered us and was really accommodating. Food and atmosphere was great! Thank you Spoonies!!

My sister and i decided to celebrate in style at the village in for breakfast! Hannah was wonderfully welcoming and generous with our brownies and icecream! Thank you for a lovely start to our day! Xx

Had company Xmas food & drinks at Village Inn. Staff and food were great, particularly Hannah, who was outstanding in making sure we all had a great time.

Buena selección de cervezas, personal amable, buena comida y festivo. Muy cerca de la estación de carril. Rayners

Conseguir día a día peor. Kim, quien fue en cambio la noche fui, usó sus dedos para poner la lima en la botella de cerveza Corona justo después de manipular dinero con sus dedos. Los aseos de caballeros siempre inundada. Siempre tuve que esperar mucho tiempo para que sirve aunque no ocupado. No hay punto en bebidas y comida siendo barato si el servicio es pésimo. Director de área no hace nada.

went for a Christmas drink with some friends after 3 pints we ordered some Sambuca's and 2 more pints the girl behind the bar refused to serve the 2 pints of fosters when asked why she said she was concerned we may not be able to drink it this young girl is in the hospitality trade that's her job when I spoke to the manager and asked her if any one in my group was drunk so said no but she had to back up her staff will be making a complaint to head office I am a male in my 50s not 18 service in here by both barmaid and manageress unacceptable

After a long absence, started going regularly in last couple of months and found it a pleasant surprise. Locals are a nicely varied bunch and, with no blaring constant 'sports' channel on TV it presents a good change on many of the other local pubs. Found the staff to be friendly and informal and willing to meet most reasonable requests. Food is nice and wholesome (i.e. no 'fancy' chef stuff) and reasonably priced. Also, for an urban pub, the garden is surprisingly green and colorful!Lastly, a final word - Kevin, one of the staff, is friendly and always fun to chat to.

I have been drinking in moons for over 10 years and never have the staff been so awful. There moody and rude and need to go on hospitality training or be sacked. The young women staff specailly there rude to the locals and have a chip on there sholder. The manager is friendly and nice but don't no why she makes an effort as the staff bring the pub down. It used to be a happy family pub not any more. All the locals are refusing to go there now, it's a real shame

A pub that was once nice, is now slowly going downhill. Staff always look misreable and take it out on customers. Bottle beers warm. Stella running out or not tasteing as it should. Food lift not working. Have empty glasses being taken from customer tables while customers have walked away for a while and staff smiling when you complain about it; staff not concerened at all. Toilets always broken or leaking. New Area Manager has no interest in customer suggestions even though she is there almost every other day. The new manager is trying her best but her efforts seem wasted. More and more people are now drinking at other venues. New water solution is not Health and Safety at all. See photo.

Nice pub. It's a real shame the staff treat the locals bad. It's as if they are doing the locals a favour by serving them. Lack of staff during peak times. Some one needs to look at the staffing. Sometimes there's only one person serving and the queue is building. Bottle beers are warm most of the time, even though they have a fridge at the back but bottle beers are never kept in them. Area manager has been told about this and it did make a difference but now there's a new area manager so back to normal. The food is nice so no complaints about that. Hopefully new manager will change things. Am still going there but not as often. Spirits are still good value but they have increased twice already this year so becoming expensive to drink every day.

This is a very relaxing local pub in Rayners Lane. Good choice of meals and snacks, offers too. Curry Night was very tasty and worth the money. Décor warm, nice quieter area for eating meals. Service good, although can be overlooked if not tall even though in front of bar! Good experience, been several times and would visit again*

Went to see ACDC at Wembley, parked near Rayners Lane tube, we decided to have a drink before heading to the concert and found this great pub.Friendly and very cheap beer, food looked good although we didn't have any on this occasion, will visit again

V v v economical - frequented this place - quantity enough and good quality - so filling that haven't felt the need to eat until dinner - not tried the large yet - traditional English breakfast also suitable for vegetarians
