We visited today Easter Sunday 17th April 2022 and must say that we were not disappointed It may have been a while since our last visit but must say that the meals were excellent and the warm friendly welcome from the hard working staff was excellent too Nice to walk into a warm friendly welcome from all The chef done really well as we didnt have to wait too long for a really well cooked and tasty beef roast followed by a lovely pudding Well done John and all your wonderful staff and very deserving of the 5 star rating Promise it wont be as long between visits next time Pat and Glynn

Having turned off th M5 motorway northbound at junction 27 owing to absolute traffic chaos, we almost settled for a MC Donalds at the services.

When a Google maps search for 'pubs with overnight parking for motorhome', The Merry Harriers came up as the closest, being less than 10 minutes away.

A telephone call to confirm an overnight stay and a reservation for a takeaway meal, and we were on our way.

The professionalism, warm and inviting welcome were probably the best I've experienced in a long time.
