The Harnser

We pushed our booking back from 7.30 to 8.30. Bad move. We were continually reminded we were keeping the kitchen waiting. Ronan, our “server” had no interest. No wine list. He just told me the names of some wines. Steak was over cooked. Fish cakes were bland. And then, at the end, the owner begged for a tip. Be benevolent he said! So embarrassing 😬

Pleasant restaurant with friendly good service and nice atmosphere. The menu is varied and interesting. The food was good with generous portions. We will return.

Arrived after lunch on a Sunday and hadn’t booked as walked from Stiffkey…. Had the most delicious roast beef. The service and welcome was just spot on and we are looking for an excuse to visit again soon. The roast beef was cooked beautifully and the veggies were delicious too!

Loved our stay at the Harnser. Rustic charm meets excellent dining with lovely wine. The rooms are cosy and well equipped. The owners made us feel welcome and this was the best place to eat in Cley by far. The hotel is on the high street , but parking was fine. We started each day with a walk through the marshland to the sea. Highly recommended .

Having driven past The Harsner many times thinking we must go there, today we did. And what a gem it is! Booked for Sunday lunch and we knew from the welcome it was going to be good. Friendly and attentive staff, beautifully cooked roast beef & pork (we did see the vegetarian option which also looked good) washed down by Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is sold by the glass. What's not to like?

Looked at previous reviews of The Harnser and decided to book our table for Sunday lunch. We live a few miles away on the Coasthopper bus route and have only called in previously for coffees and always found it to be a charming place with a relaxed vibe and lovely friendly owners and staff. The beef roast was superb and included cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, plenty of veg, Yorkshire pud and wonderful gravy. The home made desserts here are to die for…. Have recommended The Harnser to several friends, it’s great for families and small parties alike. The tables were moved to accommodate walk ins. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly, there is a real buzz to the place and there were visitors and locals alike, some with dogs which are welcome too. Really looking forward to a repeat visit soon!
