Merry Harriers - Waverley

Most excellent food, service and value A modern twist on a great traditional English country pub complete with log fire. Interesting modern menu beautifully presented. Will be going again soon with friends to show them our new culinary discovery.

We visited for Sunday lunch and it was wonderful. A warm greeting, shown to our pretty table complete with candelabra. Drinks and food orders were perfectly timed. My husband and friend enjoyed their special of lamb rump which was nicely presented. If you are a Yorkshire pudding fan, this place is for you ; they are enormous! The plum and avocado salad was delicious and fish and chips had a thumbs up. Drinks good too. Staff were exclusively (front of house) young. They were all incredibly competent, professional and attentive. We will be back.

Saw the pub on a TV programme, and 20 mins away so worth a go. Booked at 2pm on a sat, it looked closed from road, but wasn't, just looks l tired and needs more kerb appeal. 1 other table. Had a 2 course meal, hair in husbands Guinness and an ant on his plate+! Not a good start! Starters , baked camebert to share was lovely . Recommended. 3 mains were burger. Home made and lovely,, fish and chips, which was amazing, lovely taste to batter, and homemade tartar sauce. I had ham egg and chips, probably worst, eggs over cooked, solid, and ham wasn't very tasty, plate full of salad and dressing which engulfed the plate. I didn't enjoy the Ham , egg chips. Quite a small menu , on a Saturday lunchtime, not sure what is on for an evening. Quite reasonable with drinks, £89 for 2 courses , 2 drink each for 3 people. Didn't get to see Llamas ,as right at end of pub garden and in a far field, so a shame. Saw shepherd's huts off the carpark, but I feel very expensive to stay £190 pn

Last Friday I took my godchildren to the Merry Harriers for a ‘Meet and Greet’ with the Llamas which Liv had kindly arranged. There was a bit of miscommunication about the timings but Clara, one of the trekkers came specially. The kids were thrilled to be able to feed the Llamas and be amongst them, they thoroughly enjoyed it, we all did. I plan to take them back for a trek, they would enjoy that. They also enjoyed the huge chess board, swings and seesaw. It was well worth it despite battling the M25 Friday traffic. We had a very enjoyable lunch, served by two very able girls who were very efficient. The lady who welcomed us told us about some walks we walked to St Peter’s Church up the hill afterwards. We stopped in the Church and I said a prayer for my late Partner who sadly passed away some months ago and the kids also prayed for their beloved Uncle Steve who was with us in spirit.

Received a nice welcome and shown to our table, so far so good. Quite a dull wine list. Food arrived in a pile them high fashion. Swamped in diluted gravy. My chicken and carrots were OK. My partners pork offering was quite tasteless and tough. The table was not cleared, and I had to ask for the bill as the staff were avoiding us. Asked the lady if she had any questions for us, as we still had half eaten plates, she said no! Very dissapointing, and won't be returning. No enquiry, or apologie. NOTHING MERRY AT THIS HARRIERS FOR US
