The best restaurants serving British food in Harrow Weald Harrow London

I do not appreciate lettuce replacing the spinach I ordered, and for which I was charged £4.95! Surely, the sauteed green mixed veg would have been a far better substitute? However, my delivery was on time, and I really enjoyed my meal☺

It was a last minute decision to book Gilbert's on a Sunday morning but they had availability and I had not been for a very long time and their Sunday lunch deal of £29.95 for 2 or £36.95 for 3 courses was back so why not ! The hotel is located down a long leafy drive but there is plenty of car spaces so it should not be an issue parking. Gilbert's itself is located as you enter the main building on the ground floor with views over the garden so it's quite restful , the room not so much as it's very dated and old fashioned but to some people's taste I guess. There is a choice of 5 starters and main courses so something for everyone. Glad that a free bread roll and butter is offered with the menu. The crispy duck salad with bean shoots and watercress was tasty but served in an odd bowl rather than on a plate making it hard to eat. The tempura prawns came with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and garnished with tomato and cucumber and nice enough, the batter was crispy and light. Main course of roast beef was delicious, plenty of meat , the roasties were crisp but only warm, also served with carrot , asparagus and a bowl of cauliflower cheese which was slight pureed but tasted good and nice & cheesy. The Yorkshire could have been warmer too . Wine started from £21 , tap water was available on request, total came to £83.90 plus 10% service bringing it to £92.29 altogether for 2. Service was a little hit and miss , water had to be asked for twice, the server was not able to uncork the wine at the table and had to go to the bar to do it only to return without any wine glasses. However, plates were cleared promptly and the staff seemed jolly.

Lovely Hotel with an interesting history and characterful restaurant. This time we were seated in the old dining room as the main eating area was being done up but nevertheless it did not detract from the eating experience. Our meals were excellent and freshly prepared for us, my beer battered fish and chips was enormous, so much so I could not eat it all- shame. 10% added as service charge which is common place these days. Recommended.

We live nearby and pop in occasionally for cream tea on special occasions. It's always been somewhere between good and great for food and service. But this last trip was a bit like visiting Fawlty Towers. We wandered around trying to find someone, anyone, that might work there. Eventually someone gestured in the vague direction of a cold room with stark, uncovered wooden tables. Eventually, about 15 minutes after we sat down, someone offered us both a menu. About 15 minutes later we asked for water... this request was satisfied eventually. So about 30 minutes in and we had water. We tried to order but at that point we realised that we had different menus. So these menus were whisked away and we had only our water to entertain us... I'll stop there but it wasn't great. Borderline awful. It's gone from delicious treats and great service in a beautiful tea room to water in a cupboard. Good luck.

Really great service. The food was amazing ecspecially the grilled chicken burger CJ was the best waiter and was really patient :) with us.
