Harrow Inn Coven - South Staffordshire

To start, the woman who greeted us when we first arrived was friendly and efficient. Unfortunately, she did not continue to serve us throughout our visit and instead we were assisted by two young women and a young man. I understand that Sunday lunchtimes can be busy. I understand that later in the afternoon the staff may be tired. However, it is not acceptable to leave customers with empty plates and glasses waiting for half an hour before asking if they want anything else. It is also not acceptable to offer a dessert menu and then not return for another 20 minutes, forcing us to go seek one out. The restaurant was not overly busy, yet the table near us, who seemed to be regulars, received plenty of attention while we were left waiting. Despite having a great dining experience before, this time the service was disappointing. Fortunately, the food was decent but not as good as our previous visit.

This is not our first time visiting, but we have started coming regularly in the last two months. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very good overall. There is a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is warm.

The loaded fries are delicious, and there is a great selection of drinks available. It was quite peaceful during a weekday lunch, and the service was quick. The beer garden was lovely, and we enjoyed sitting in the sunshine while eating our meals. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be returning.

This was our first visit, and it certainly won’t be our last! The Harrows is a quiet village pub, with a large car park and outdoor seating (although the weather was too cold for that). Inside there are booths as well as table seating. The food was great – I was able to create my own pizza with a choice of three toppings, and the menu had a good range of vegetarian and vegan options. The other members of our party opted for the vegetarian version of bangers and mash, and the mushroom, lentil and spinach wellington, both of which they thoroughly recommend. Portions are generous, but I was given a box to take away the quarter of the 12” pizza that proved too much for me! Visitors should note that, at the time of writing (March 2023) the pub does not serve lunches on Mondays and Tuesdays (not just Mondays).

A very friendly welcome awaits you from the staff. We went for Sunday lunch and the food was amazing, my wife is gluten free and the staff were great in making sure her meal was spot on. Also the beer was perfect we will definitely be going back.
