Absolutely, our four-legged friends are always welcome.

We even have an exclusive dog-friendly menu, which includes doggy snacks, and more substantial meals such as “roast dinner'“ and “fish and chips” 🐾

Are you a pub or a restaurant?

We’re both! While we do offer exceptional food, great drinks and warm hospitality, we do so in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. The Harrow at Bishopstone is a place where everyone is welcome. We love hosting parties and big events, so if you’re looking for the perfect venue to celebrate something special, then do get in touch via our dedicated ‘Event Enquiry’ page.

Is the Harrow at Bishopstone accessible?

The Harrow has been carefully designed to ensure all of our indoor and outdoor dining spaces, and toilet facilities are fully accessible via step-free routes. We also have a dedicated accessible toilet which is suitable for wheelchair users and others. If you would like any further information or if you require any adjustments to be made, such as extra space around your table, then please get in touch using our contact form.


What times do you serve food?

On Wednesday through to Friday, you can book a table for lunch between 12pm and 2.15pm, and dinner from 6pm until 8.45pm. On Saturdays, we serve food all day from 12pm until 8.30pm. On Sundays you can book a table from 12pm to 5.30pm. The Harrow At Bishopstone is open for drinks 12pm to 11pm on Wednesday through to Saturday, and from 12pm to 8pm on Sundays. We also offer a small but perfectly formed all day bar menu of sandwiches, small plates and snacks.


Can we eat in the garden?

Of course! We have lots of garden tables situated on the grass and parasol covered tables on our patio, but we do not take orders from your table, so you will need a table number before ordering your food and drink at the bar. However, if you would prefer full table service, then we have a number of “ covered”outdoor dining options, which include tables in our alpine-inspired garden lodge and the conservatory (retractable roof and glass panel walls).
