user reviews of the Harrow, Hastings

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Pleased to state that Shepherd Neame responded very well to my enquiry about The Harrow not having a geographical phone number. Seemingly, the fault was with BT. The geo no has now been restored. The pub is under new management.

The 0871 tel no was not registered with the regulator, PhonePay Plus. I reported this and PhonePayPlus has contacted its owner (Core Telecom Ltd) with an instruction to comply with its legal obligation and register its Premium rate 0871 tel nos.

Why doesn't The Harrow publicise its geographical telephone number? The old number 01424 751109 is now unobtainable. All I can find after extensive searching is the rip-off 10p per min Premium Rate 0871 tel no advertised on this site.

The Harrow is LOSING BUSINESS because of this nonsense.

It is a dump, in a dump. I don't mean Hastings itself, because the pub is situated on The Ridge, on the edge of town. The locals are all edge of towners, London/Tunbridge Wells* commuter types, and are therefore up themselves, they really should try to re-market themselves as an middle-market restaurant, rather than a village pub.

*(Sorry, Royal Tunbridge Wells. Before I get an angry letter in "Das Telegraf".

New management are in again, they seem an improvement so maybe worth a second chance. The food's improved.

Well, we went in this pub because we needed some food. The Shep's was fine and well kept. The barmaid or is it 'barperson' was friendly and explained that they were having another change of management, the tenth in 4 years. Clearly a pub having problems - Sunday lunchtime and only 10 people in the place. An out of date dump really and only the redeeming points were the friendly staff

The worst pub in Hastings? well, obviously, there is fierce competition in this category.
However, I am pleased to say that in my opinion this one probably wins by a furlong in its sub Weatherspoon lack of atmosphere and freshly microwaved 'fare'.
Avoid this like a syphilitic grannies' stump.
Truly awful, for hard core entrenched self harmers only.

Just had a massive refurb but it's still a toilet. I've only been in once which says it all as I only live a minutes walk away. One of the neighbours said the food was ok but I haven't tried it.

Nice little 'up-itself-pub'. Tries to be Olde Worlde on the outside and ultra trendy/modern on the inside, and fails on both. Ghastly 1.5/10
