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.

Children and minors

Harkers is essentially an adult's environment, and is not suitable for babies, toddlers and younger children. Older children of the well behaved variety are welcome during the day, though evenings are for grown-ups only. Please note we do not have changing facilities or high chairs.

Stag parties and Hen do's

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

Dogs

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

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 from behind the bar.

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.

We don't reserve any of our outside tables so if you enjoy a little alfresco dining these are on a first come first served basis.

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

Book online

Use the calendar to book a table. If the time you're after is not available, give us a call and we will try our best to fit you in. We keep some tables for phone bookings.

We don't reserve any of our outside tables so if you enjoy a little alfresco dining these are first come first serve.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the pub as a bit of a 'city boozer' in style, it is not suitable for children.
