Harry's

This place has been here for over 20 years so they must be doing something right. It's one of my favourite restaurants serving breakfast ( the best in Brighton and Hove! ) lunch and dinner. I'm particulary fond of the liver and bacon as I can't get it anywhere else and can't be bothered to cook it myself.

Well myself and friends think harrys is a great place, the food is good home cooking and the staff friendly considering how busy they can get, the atmosphere is casual and laid back and maybe that doesn't suit everyone!! As i work in the profession myself i think people don't actually realise they are being rude, offensive and impatient themselves!! Keep up the good work harrys.

We have just returned from Harry's and I felt compelled to write this review as the service was so rude!!! Not to mention the very average food. My friend booked a table for 8 (they have been regulars for some time and they recommended it to us) needless to say they have now decided not to go back.

We arrived at 4.30pm and our first waiter a male was quite sullen and seemed pretty bored, we put this done to the fact he had been working all day. My friends requested 4 yorkshire puddings even though they were having the roast turkey they assumed this wouldn't be a problem as they had done it many times before, the waiter said he would have to count the yorkshires first! and then decide if they could have them.

We ordered an extra coke which we then had to order for a second time as it did not appear. Our meals came out in a very disjointed fashion, kids meals first then a couple of adult mains some vegetables and then a couple more mains. The lamb was raw in places and extremely fatty, the turkey was bland and the potatoes were nothing to write home about.

The straw that broke the camels back was when I politely said " there are a couple of custards to come" and the waitress (who took over at 5pm) barked back at me "I only have two pairs of hands!". Our group were stunned by the aggressive tone of this woman, she had only been on shift for 30 minutes!!!

Our meal ended up taking 2 hours, which was definitely 2 hours too long in that establishment.

I think it's a very unwise move to be like this in an area that is flooded with so many restaurants that offer the same type of cuisine, in a recession. People are more choosy where they eat, and we certainly will not be returning. See you at the Westbourne for a more superior roast.
