The Yews in Harborough

Came today with my husband and 2 children. Service was really slow and poor unfortunately. Had 1 drink and 1 main course and were there nearly 2 hours then add in dessert and the whike thing took 2.5 hours. Had to ask for extra drinks twice as first order wasn't put through aswell. So waited 30 mins for drinks. Food wasn't particularly special and not worth the wait to be honest. Won't be returning. Update 1.10.24- i appreciate the reply but you weren't that busy. There were several empty tables in the whole building. We won't be returning.

A good location, good food and friendly service, let down by appalling delivery. We had been there for nearly 45 minutes before our order was taken, and waited about as long again for our mains.

I’m delighted that I dined at The Yews with my family last night, Saturday 28 September 2024. It’s lovely to find a professionally managed restaurant that hasn’t lost its quaint English atmosphere. The whole venue is very clean, with the staff being attentive to all the details, which make The Yews worthy of being called Our Go-To Restaurant. On the whole the food was delicious and my family thoroughly enjoyed the sea bass, the Barbers Chicken, the belly pork and I devoured the vegetarian grill, and I’m not even a veggie! The starters and desserts were great too and if you like real ale then I can report that it has the best Abbot Ale I have drunk in a long time. Fortunately for me I don’t live too far away so another visit will be made soon. Thank you to Ash, the manager, especially as it was Ash’s first night as manager and to the lovely Lottie who just loved being thoughtful and helpful. You two and the Chefs made our family gathering a great one! John Cummins.

High quality food and knowledgeable staff who are very efficient.

Great food and lovely service. Definitely recommend.

Very nice place. Food excellent. Easy parking. A Very good find . Recommended.

Had lovely meal at The Yews with family over from New Zealand 30th August.Very nice atmosphere gardens were nice too.

I lunch here whenever I visit family in the area. Lovely setting, particularly if you snag a garden window, a very decent menu, with a few chef specials, very pleasant and obliging service, and they always have a well kept ale to wet one's whistle upon arrival.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service but the food did not quite live up to the high expectation created from the menu

Superb meal and service! Squid starter and bbq chicken strips cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and tasted divine. Main courses of mixed grill and belly pork again both cooked to perfection and tasted divine. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I've had. The service from Mav was amazing too - thank you! Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't been.

Very welcoming pub. Came in for midweek lunch. Nice choices on menus. We ordered a variety of starters, mains - all to come at same time. They were very accommodating. Very friendly service - Often in the area so will come again

We were hosted by mav and he was brilliant. So friendly and enthusiastic, and went over and beyond to serve us. The drinks and food were quickly brought to us, and we're top quality. Will definitely be returning again soon!

Fabulous lunch, great service! Luke was very understanding and put up with our demanding ways 😆

6 of us had lunch and every plate was finished. The service was great and we were very well looked after especially by Luke

We have had a girlie lunch today, the food was fabulous, the service was fabulous by Luke and Lottie, especially Luke. Would recommend.

It Was A Belated Birthday Meal - To Celebrate My Mum's 80th Birthday - 1st Time We Had Been To The Yew's In Great Glen - Very Well Laid Out And Nicely Set Out - You Felt Welcome As Soon As You Walked Into The Building,It Had A Lot Of History And Character To Building - Meals Were Delicious And Enjoyable - (NB Some Of The Meals On The Menu List Were A Bit Pricey - The Lady Served Us Throughout Was Professional,Caring,Really Friendly And Julie Was Really Good At Her Job

Lovely Sunday roast great atmosphere, thanks Luke for excellent service

A Beautiful Looking Building - As Soon As You Walk In A Pleasant And Warm Atmosphere To The Building,A Lady Came Over And Welcome Us And Took Us To Our Table - It Was To Celebrate My Mum's Belated Birthday, My Mum Turned 80 Years On The 2nd Of Aug,Later Found Out The Lady Was Serving Us Was Called,"Julie" - So Was Kind, Professional, Understanding, Caring And Nothing Was Too Much Trouble - After As Our Meals Were Beening Brought Over To Us,She Made Sure Everything Was Right With Our Meals And Said If You Need Anything,I Won't Be Far Away,She Was Supportive, And Made Sure Everything Was Right - We Felt Valued And Wanted Customers

Visited for the first time last Saturday evening. A lovely pub inside and out, food delicious and all staff friendly. Very well looked after by Max

Business as usual,good food,welcoming staff and competetive prices just what you want,never felt short changed whenever i've been which is why we keep returning. Special mention for Lottie always a star.

Excellent service by Mav and delicious food from the chefs Marc, Chell and Kyle. All staff seemed Really friendly and we loved the chilled atmosphere.

Stopped for Sunday dinner - food was plentiful but mediocre, nothing to write home about. Typical chain pub

Went for evening meal with family and tried their vegan mushroom Ale pie.

Great food, outstanding service. Will defo return again!

Visited yesterday evening served by lottie but the place seemed short staffed although staff were chatting at the end of bar...ordered starter & main course...starter fine then 20 min delay to main course...even a sausage & mash meal went wrong burnt sausage turned around to make sure we didn't show burnt part ..then lottie almost asked for a tip .not the yews we know

Often pop in here and always a pleasure. If you are eating I'd recommend booking as its popular. Great food and service. Clean, plenty of parking and lovely surroundings.

Had a lovely mid week lunch, nice atmosphere, prompt service, delicious food.

My and my friend went to the Yews for lunch, we were greeted by Will who was very welcoming. The food was served swiftly and very tasty.

Very disappointing meal. Vegetable grill, seemed to be chunks of frozen vegetables literally dry roasted with a side of barely boiled peas and oven chips. I asked for some dressing or olive oil and was told only rapeseed oil was available! £17.95! Shocking.

Thank you so much for your above and beyond service, we appreciated it so much

Popped in this week for a quick lunch and it was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday lunchtime! (Always a good sign). Good value lunch menu options. We had scampi and chips, the salmon fishcake (very nice!) and from the main menu the steak and ale pie (really good pastry and a proper pie, not just meat in a bowl with a pastry lid!) Despite it being busy, staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. A lovely place and lots of cool little corners to sit. Lovely garden too. We didn't have time for coffee and desserts as we in a rush to get to an appointment, but will definitely come back. In fact I know we will, as I have just bought my Mum and her partner a Gift Card for their Birthdays to they can enjoy a meal together at Yews!

Had a lovely evening with friends for a birthday treat.we had a lovely window table as requested when booking.The service was good with pleasant efficient staff. The food was delicious and it was no problem to change a sweet as it had an ingredient one of the party couldn't eat. A very pleasant evening all round.

Absolutely brilliant pub/restaurant. Kerry and Elaine made us so welcome, providing that rarity that is good old fashioned customer service with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to make our day. The venue is stunning, lots of old world charm and lots of different areas, for an intimate experience, in a large venue. Food is fantastic and the chef actually understands what 'rare' streak is! Excellent selection of drinks, real ale kept in immaculate condition. Incredible value for money. Superb beer garden, again with well thought out different areas. Very classy decore, immaculately clean, great location, large car park and easy to find. Absolute gem, cannot recommend highly enough. Absolutely love Kerry and Elaine who are an absolute credit to the business! Top notch!

Want a pie go here, good filling with nice puff pastry. Prefer a smoother mash was a little dry but still enjoyed it. Always love the atmosphere

Another fabulous meal at the Yews...Chefs board for starters..son had the mixed grill..my wife had the sea bass and I had the lamb shank shepherds pie...all well recommended thank you

A lovely day out for father's day. Lottie was looking after us and she was very welcoming and smiley. Food was very delicious, the lamb shank shepherds pie is work the purchase. Will be visiting again for a Sunday Roast.

Lottie our server was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. Cannot fault anything. Will definitely be returning.

Food was absolutely spot on, delicious. Nice and hot. It was a bit cold as thet had summer hearing setting which was understandable in June but chilliy day! But great service and great food.

Visited today for the first time for a lunchtime meal.A really nice pub for either a meal or just a drink. The food was excellent with ample portions and reasonably priced. The service was also excellent we were made to feel very welcome by Cherise who served our table. She could not have been more friendly, helpful and professional in serving us. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for a really enjoyable lunchtime meal. Five stars all the way.

Lottie was such a friendly host! I love this place and will always come back :)

Very good food and service. An enjoyable lunch.

Really good portions for Sunday lunch . Offered vegan options . Docked 2 stars for service as wouldn't serves alcohol...for my 25 year old son....without physical driving licence and not just copy on phone.....

Food was nice and came out speedily. Portions were massive. Staff were all very friendly.

Second visit here. Service once again fabulous. Food delicious although it took time, it was worth the wait. Thanks for looking after us

Lovely food. Prompt service. Nice garden.

Thank you to all the team at the Yew’s! …and a special thanks to Julie for outstanding service & making us the best Liquor coffee’s by far. Definitely will visit again.

I came in the week to a work reunion. I noticed how friendly and accommodating the staff were. My first visit. I took my elderly mother their today. She is wheelchair bound. We wanted to sit in the garden due to nice recent weather. Threw the main entrance to back Garden there is a small step to the Garden. One of the members of staff offered to help with lifting the chair. That was very nice , however we decided to go round outside. My only critic is a ramp should be on Garden access. Despite that on entry or departure the staff members acknowledged us and acted friendly and welcoming. So a simple small adjustment could make a big difference. Notice to senior management!

Great family dinner out. Lovely service and yummy food.

We have just had the most delicious Sunday dinner. The beef melted in your mouth, the vegetables were cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire pudding and roasties were delicious. Would highly recommend and definitely will be returning.

Second visit in 3 years, unfortunately experienced the same issues with service. Food was excellent, really tasty good food and initial service was good too. However when it started getting quiet we were forgotten about and had to go and find someone to ask for the bill. And then we had to go and find someone again to actually pay. We were ready to leave a tip but the poor service at the end stopped us. So unfortunately we won't be back anytime soon

Very nice food, and exceptionally large dishes. Nice atmosphere and warmly engaging

We eat out a lot and, for us, The Yews stands out above other palces we visit. The staff are great, the food is always good and the welcome is lovely. The last few times we've been, Sam has been our server....what a credit to The Yews! He's so friendly, polite and helpful, definitely deserves 5*

Came on a busy Wednesday evening all the staff were Lovley but Sam was exceptional a credit to the company really caring and no ask was too big. Good was brilliant. Atmosphere was really Lovley lots of older couple eating and drinking.

Came on Sunday for a roast with the in-laws pub was very full all the staff seemed very friendly. Our server Sam was phenomenal really attentive and made sure our meals were up to standard. All the food was really hot, very tasty and came out in good time. Would highly recommend.

Really recommend coming here. Atmosphere and food is amazing

Great Sunday lunch for a birthday celebration and great service from Lottie. We will definitely be visiting again Many thanks

Amazing food & Ssrvice Had a birthday lunch and Lottie was such a great representative of the restaurant. Great food, atmosphere & service

Have to say this was my first time and my server Oscar was excellent. So attentive and friendly. To be fair all the staff I encountered were super friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh, piling hot and gorgeous. My new fav pub!!! Thanks all

Good service xcellent food Lotti brilliant service

Came for dinner, to try the new menu. The food was great- hot and tasty. Service was brilliant, could not fault our visit. Thanks to the team for looking after us so well. we’ll be back.

Lovely lunchtime meal with my wife. Food was great as always and the service was really good. Julie attended to all of her customers really well despite the problems the technology created for all of the staff.

Lovely casual midweek meal, complimented by good food and friendly, helpful service by Sam. Will happily recommend and will book again soon

Attended with family on a busy Saturday night. I had a vegetable platter for the first time ever after trying to ease off of meat. I absolutely loved it! The meals served to all of us looked delicious. The only criticism was the 1 hour wait between mains and pudding. However this wouldn’t put me off returning.

Lovely experience, the food was amazin as always. Our waiter Will did really well. We will definitely recomend it and be back.

Food was good but service was so so slow and poor felt like we spent 1/2 the evening waiting around for drinks then menus etc felt ignored alit of the time Such a shame it spoilt the evening

Service was lovely Sticky toffee pudding was amazing. All staff excellent.

Really delicious food! Slight misunderstanding about an order that was sorted really quickly and they were very good with my two children

As usual a friendly welcome from Kate and her team. Food is amazing! You must try the new menu. Lottie gave us perfect service today and Oscar the dog got a big fuss made of him. This is his favourite pub too. They are so dog friendly and that is a big thing for us who have fur-babies. We shall definitely be going back soon. thank you guys 10/10 as always!

Food was well presented, hot & tasty. All staff were welcoming. Oscar was attentive throughout.

Really cosy pub, lovely old building with a great menu and drinks. The bar area and garden are dog friendly too! Nice place to eat as well as go for a couple of drinks. Great service and friendly.

Friendly staff and enjoyed the new menu!!

The pub was fairly quite on a Monday which was a suprise but the overall atmosphere was really nice. The food was top notch all really hot and fresh the fish and chips is a really large portion which is great. Staff were really attentive especially Sam who looked after us the supper club was really well priced. We tried to use a birthday wine voucher but it wouldn't work. The manager i think was really helpful and managed to get it to work. All staff really nice especially Sam. Cannot reccomend enough.

Visited for sunday dinner and it was lovely. Great food and service! We were served by Sam and he was great, very attentive and made sure everything was good for us!

Great place to pop for a quick lunch, accommodated us without a booking Lovely ciabatta’s!

Gorgeous place and atmosphere....superb food served with a smile.....we'll done!

Great food and our waiter Sam was so attentive and customer service focused. Enjoyable evening and lovely food can’t recommend it enough

Really disappointing. Service was absolutely appalling. Firstly we weren't given the 2 courses for £15 menu. Had to ask, we ordered and the starters were a 30min wait. Sat with empty plates for at least 20 mins before someone came over to remove them. Was over an hour for the mains - had to try and get someone over and ask. They were not good at acknowledging anyone. Again, waiting ages for plates to be removed and order desserts. Asked for bill and no word at all, but finally got bill. No-one came to take money so eventually went to bar. Had overcharged us so had to put that right. Not the best night!!!

I'm becoming a regular here, terrific staff, excellent food, and , great value for money.

Late Sunday afternoon , pub only half full. Food was really poor , and some of it only warm . Tasteless. Yorkshire puddings were somewhat awful !! ,as was the rest of it 😔 Service wait after ordering was terrible . After paying £100 , we had expected better !!...needless to say we won't be returning !

Very nice meal with great service from Luke

Such a lovely pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Has a beautiful garden too (in the summer) 🌞

Been several times now, everything is always lovely and well thought out

It was on St.'s Valentine day and the food was lovely. The duck and the platter was delicious

Excellent service from Julie and the other staff members

A lovely anniversary meal with my husband, served by Luke who was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble! Thankyou!

Come here quite often and always have a great experience. All of the staff (especially Julie) always go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need and are comfortable. Thankyou all!

Excellent food, great choice for vegetarians and lovely service

Lovely setting. Food was excellent. I had the rib-eye steak and can honestly say, it was the nicest steak I've had in a very long time! Staff were friendly, place was clean and well maintained. Not long to wait for the food either. Can highly recommend!

Really slow service, took over 20 minutes to get given menus and 40 for food to come out. Granted it was initially busy when we got there, but our server spent most of the time joking and laughing with the bar staff. Waited another 20 minutes after being given pudding menus and no one came to take our order so we paid and left as it had gotten so late. Most of our party were happy with their food, I had the roast pork loin and the pork was over cooked, the roast potatoes hard and not crispy, and the whole dish was under seasoned and bland.

Really good food and lottie was amazing!

Went for burns night dinner last night and really enjoyed the whole evening! The food was served so well and I tried haggis for the first time which I want to go again for tonight! The venison was so good we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Lottie, Kath and Will looked after us brilliantly 👏🏻

Out for a family dinner tonight. Service was excellent, food was spot on and really enjoyed my wine. Have not been for a while as felt the quality had dropped for both but can honestly say it’s back to its best. Well done!

Yews is a wonderful place for any occasion. Food was lovely and our waiter Lottie was cheerful as always. We enjoy coming here!

Great to see so many people for Sunday lunch. Great menu, and a great selection of beers too including their brilliant IPA iceberg. Good service from lovely staff.

Great food, staff very friendly and helpful, lovely stuff! Our server Oscar was great

Finally it reopened after the fire that burnt the building 🏫 lottery nobody will eat Bananas

Table for 2 at 12pm on the 13th January... Quickly seated and served in a beautiful old beamed pub. The Korean starter was excellent and my main Korean dish with rice was also extremely good. I tried my wife's steak pie which I admit I would have preferred as it was delicious. Service was excellent and both ladies were very chatty and attentive. Highly recommend this place a very short distance from the A6.

Would recommend to all food to die for.Service brilliant. Thanks Julie,and Oscar brilliant.

As ever, excellent food and service (thank you, Cherise) in a lovely setting (and the 'Korean Chicken Duo' was fab!).

First time and look forward to a Revisit.
