Parking options near us

If you're visting us by car, here are a few options of convenient places to park:

You can park for two hours on City Road for just a couple of pounds.
There is parking on Dee Lane a short walk away towards the river that is free for 4 hours
Or just a short walk towards the railway station, you'll find a few Pay and Display options.

Wheelchair access

There is level access into the pub, and we have a disabled loo - or rather, a loo for the disabled. Please let us know if you need assistance and we'll be happy to help.

Dogs

Dogs of the well behaved and on-the leash variety are welcome in the bar area.

Children and minors

Harkers is an adult only environment and so this unfortunately means we are unable to accommodate children. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Stag parties and Hen do's

I'm afraid we don't really do Stag parties or Hen parties.

Bookings

We do take bookings, but we try to make sure that there is room for customers who are not able to book in advance, so if you have not made a reservation, it's not the end of the world. If there are no tables free we run a waiting list.

Please make bookings by calling or using our online bookings calendar link at the top of the page. Unfortunately we are not able to take bookings via email or facebook.

Also outside bookings can now be made online, for tables on our covered terrace.

Sadly due to our operation we are not able to cater for very large parties or groups.
