The Harewood is a new exciting bar and restaurant, with a contemporary and refreshing seasonal a la carte menu. Serving modern and traditional cuisines from around the Mediterranean from morning till evening. Our specialities are Seafood and Steak, while also serving a pre-theatre menu for those visiting Cast just across the street. Our chefs are always happy to cater for any dietary requirements.

You will be warmly greeted by staff in our stylish relaxed premises, where you’re welcome to have a drink or eat. Should weather be permitting we have a substantial alfresco area for outside dining. We also have our heated rooftop terrace. A must would be our seafood platter served on ice, with a chilled glass of Prosecco or one of our amazing cocktails.

We love the Harewood………especially on gig night! However, we had not planned for it so it was rather loud for what we wanted! Saying that, we were welcomed warmly, the food was outstanding and the service was good seeing as they were short on people! Becky and Maz were on the decks and the outside seating was perfect for listening to the music. We ate upstairs which was a little quieter! We will definitely be back……….again and again ♥️

The food is as reasonable but the service was pretty poor. We had to ask for the drinks menu. Then we’re not asked again if we wanted more drinks. One drink in a whole 2hr meal is pretty poor. We also had to ask for the dessert menu. When we had just put the last mouthful of dessert in our mouth we were told we would have to leave as they needed the table. This was told to us by a member of staff stood there with new customers in tow. It was very rude and embarrassing both for us me them. I will not be going back.

Relaxed atmosphere with good selection on menu for food and drinks. Friendly staff and good food although we arrived early evening and service was a bit slow because they were quite busy with not many staff.

I booked a table but when we turned up there wasn’t a table ready and just told to sit anywhere. Didn’t know if to order at the bar or table service. As this was a meal after a graduation and was a lot of other customers I just think the staff were overwhelmed. But the food was fantastic and was quick to be delivered to our table.

Lovely place but the service was appalling and drinks mixed up. We were a party of four, all had starters then chose the ribeye not one was cooked right the sauce was horrendous and my steak was chard to death . We will not be going back and wasting our money on poor quality food and service.

Although the service was a little slow (waiting for Mains, drinks etc) the staff certainly made up for it. They made us feel valued as dinners, nothing was too much effort for them. We’ve been a few times previously and this was by far the best night!!!

We were seated upstairs in quite a pleasant area with nice background music, but also a TV straight above our heads with the sound on, and nobody else in the room. Eventually managed to get it turned off Garlic mushrooms were very nice to start with. Main courses were a build your own pizza, which was delicious, and a lasagne which was lovely. My big gripe is not only was there no wine list, but no Merlot (really?) We had a choice of one Malbec or one Rioja. Went for Rioja only to get a bottle of Faustino VII which is £6 in Asda, and be charged £35 for it, almost half of the bill and it is cheap supermarket plonk! Service is very good, food is very good, but I won't be returning!!

This was our first visit to The Harewood. It is very convenient for a pre-theatre meal, with Cast Theatre being just across the road. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the ambience in the first floor dining room was good (although the ground floor bar area seemed noisy and busy with customers coming and going). The menu was quite varied but, as someone who likes to eat healthily, I was a little disappointed at the limited numbers of healthy choices of hot dishes (though there were some salads). The one choice of hot sides on the menu was steamed seasonal vegetables. However, when I ordered those vegetables our server returned to say they were not available. They offered me stir-fried veg instead. I would still return to The Harewood, but would urge that they make sure that they have healthily cooked vegetables of some sort available, especially if they are going to have them on the menu.

We had the most amazing experience at The Harewood! We were welcomed and sat at a table downstairs due to disability issues. The live music was outstanding, the staff were attentive and catered to every need! The food was fabulous and the kitchen team came out to ensure each detail was perfect! We will absolutely be back!!

A real gem in our town , the first time we have been, seen it a few times and thought it looked really nice but had an opportunity to try it out for cocktails, before popping over to the savoy for an opera night, we ended up having time for a cheeky quick but delicious pizza, we thought it was just a bar but were surprised they were a restaurant too , the space was really well decorated, a lovely atmosphere even outside space was made warm and cosy it felt like a treat to be there , staff were very welcoming and attentive, food looked lovely will definitely go back again to try the proper menu.

Service good, food very good Glad we had table upstairs as downstairs too much of a thoroughfare. Nowhere to hang coats so had to put on back of chair which was not ideal. Toilets very good Staff attentive and friendly Note: service charge of 10% already on the bill when it arrived. Will definitely return!

Food was fantastic but getting someone to take our order was a chore. We were forgot about and it took about 20 to 30 mins from sitting down to placing our order. I later learned that they had two large parties upstairs so the staff did well considering that. The portions were large and the menu is varied and they catered for my wife's celiac diet. I would definitely visit again however the jury is still out on the waiting times.
