The Harvard Inn

I brought 3 friends who I had not seen for years here yesterday, we sat in the restaurant but should have stayed in the bar as a party of ladies were so loud we could not have conversation but it is what it is. The issue was the food I ordered the Mackerel as main. Well it was one tiny fillet hidden under the rocket next to the potatoes, not two placed decorative on top. For the price it was like a starter. The sides came in tiny pots at £4.95 each, we ordered 5! and no spoons administered by the waitress. The carrots came long on a plate and totally hard not even 'eldantè' inedible. Broccoli stems also hard. I had some of my friends steak pie as the filling was plentiful as lack of Mackerel, but dry and hard over cooked meat...how this happens, goodness knows? My friends treated me to lunch. I was so embarrassed and kept apologising as it was very expensive and not as expected. I wish I had stuck to one of the pubs down the road. I will not be returning
