I'm often in this excellent country pub, and I'm a Camra member, does that make me smelly, Sickslinger?

If you live anywhere withing reach of the Harrow and you don't manage to get there just once in your lifetime, your life will be the poorer for it. Whether it's taking in the glories of the rambling garden in summer or sitting on a log in the inglenook in winter you'll find every trip to the Harrow a very special experience. The beer (last visit it was Hophead and the one before Swift One) and cider drop straight from the cask behind the bar, the service is jolly and relaxed and, if you see the generosity of the food servings, your eyes will pop out. I spent £15 on a ham salad and got the best value for money I've yet to get in a pub. It came on a meat carving dish, half of which was covered with home-cooked ham and the other with a spectacular salad. Hot, crusty bread and butter came seperately and I struggled to finish. And if the landlady refuses to bow and scrape to a bunch of smelly CAMRA members on their one and only trip to the pub well, that just makes the Harrow a better place, doesn't it?

Excellent unspoilt two-bar local seemingly untouched by time. Friendly locals and good beer. Why aren't all pubs like this?

The Harrow is a wonderful old-fashioned pub that rightly deserves to be on the list of the best in England. Two bars, with separate access from outside, service through a small hatch in one, and a tiny bar in the other. Excellent beers, very well kept and served straight from the barrel. A joy to sit outside in the summer despite being only a stone's throw from the busy A3, which strangely does not impinge on the atmosphere of the place. Toilets are old and a little shabby, and on the other side of the road, just as they should be, even if it means a quick dash on a wild winter's night!...Absolutley a must visit pub by anyone's standards.

I visited the Harrow on Easter Monday this year. Having heard great reviews I eagerly awaited a lovely lunch. However, having asked for 2 home made flans with salad, we were told they were sold out. We then asked for 2 cheese ploughmans priced at £5.60 each. When they arrived we were most dissapointed as what was on the plate was a lettuce leaf, some slices of cucumber, 1 soggy tomato, butter cheese and large hunks of bread. No onions (surely the main ingrediant of a ploughmans!) and no dressing for the tiny bit of salad. To add insult to injury, we watched as 2 quiches came out filled with all sorts of salad & beetroot, coleslaw etc. My point is that if the ploughmans were described as "bread and cheese" and was priced accordingly, ie £3.25, we would not have been dissapointed. But to pay £5.60 for what was on our plates was frankly a rip off. I think the reviews may have gone to the landladies heads so they now feel they can go against the Trade Descriptions act and get away with it! Will not be using this pub again!
