The best restaurants serving British food in Harrow Weald Harrow London

Very disappointed in this hotel. Lovely gardens and that’s about it for the good points. The Hotel is badly in need of major investment and upgrade of rooms and staffing numbers. I stayed two nights in one of the Garden by House rooms, very dated decor, with very thin duvets.. the tv was an old flat screen Philips tv with the remove settings so locked down I want able to connect my laptop to it via a HDMI lead I brought with me. The carpet was threadbare with stains in places with wallpaper and paint peeling off the wall and ceiling . The bathroom was clean and looked like it had seen some refurbishment, however the emergency call thread was missing and this was classed as an easy accessible room, so a H&S issue there. For dinner on the first night I had the 12 Slow braised Pork with haricot beans and Root veg, the beans were dry and looked as if they had been reheated one to many times not root veg to be seen, however there was some broccoli and asparagus, and all this was served with some gloopy red wine jus. The poor waitress who was very nice was somewhat run off her feet and kept having to apologise for delays Breakfast for me was on, I had the full English and that was it, but I did notice in the first day two couples were eating cereals and whilst doing so the waiter brought out their cooked order, so they had to hold the bowls in their hands so they could finish. So some training issues need there. The second day at breakfast was a different waitress who was very pleasant and knew what she was doing, So overall a bad experience made worse by the cost I will not be returning

Maurt was a fantastic waiter and went the extra mile for my parents 36th wedding anniversary

Cannot fault the staff. All so accommodating, helpful and kind. They went out of their way to give us an outside table. However, because of two huge parties (a communion and a wedding) we could not have our lunch outside as planned. A beautiful day and we had to eat inside. The manager was kind enough to ‘reserve’ our outside table while we ate. Now on to the most disappointing part of the visit, the lunch itself. Again service was exemplary. I ordered the ‘chicken and mushroom soup’ as a starter and it was lovely. My main the ‘sticky toffee pork belly’ with the Asian slaw. What a disappointment- a chunk of fat, undercooked and smothered in Hoisin sauce and soy sauce served with a few fat noodles, one piece of asparagus and some overcooked broccoli. Not a hint of ‘sticky toffee’. The slaw was basically a coleslaw minus the mayonnaise. I did ask for mayonnaise which I was given. I could not eat this dish . For dessert the ‘creme brûlée’ with strawberries. The brûlée crispy top was perfect. I give my meal 4/10 as I did not eat the main. This booking was a gift for my two friend’s birthdays. Friend 1 - no starter and ‘salmon with lyonnaise potatoes’ main- this dish was bland. Not seasoned and a general disappointment. For dessert ‘lemon tart with raspberry coulis’ the tart had a hint of lemon, with two raspberries plonked on top. No coulis to be seen. Someone write ‘happy birthday’ on the dessert in chocolate sauce. Out of 10. Birthday girl 1 gives 4/10 for her meal today. Friend 2- Butternut squash soup. Had to have much salt and pepper added, otherwise bland. Main course ‘fish and chips’ she said this was very nice but nothing special. Same dessert as above ‘lemon tart’ exactly the same outcome. Birthday girl 2 gives her meal 6/10 I do not believe I should have been charged for my uneaten pork and slaw. But hey ho I was :( As a regular to the Grimsdyke I can only put this down to the place taking on bigger parties than they can deal with, because this is very unusual. The weather was also lovely, which made everything better. Don’t be too hard on the chef. Maybe more staff for such events.

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.
