What a famous friendly pub… with fantastic food! I had the 3 course Festive menu. Absolutely delicious from the starter to the dessert. Huge main course of turkey with all the trimmings. The table was set with festive cloth and crackers making it extra special! The service from all the staff was exceptional…. Always so polite and very friendly. I brought my large dog aka Rudolph…who is always welcome too. Highly recommended! I wish all the staff and management a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!

Arrived on time a shown to table within minutes. Drinks sorted first then food order. Lots of choice and was great to see a vegan option in the main courses. Meal brought promptly. Very good portions on plate plus extra gravy and a vegetable medley., plus a separate bowl of sprouts and pancetta. Very good Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes (great crispy edges). Extras of apple and cranberry sauces brought to table. Very filling and great tasting vegetables, not too al dente or not over-cooked taking all the flavors away. Desserts of Xmas Pudding and custard(custard not on menu but asked for a provided without any fuss. Cheesecake very tart and creamy and beautiful caramel sauce. Portion size just right after large main course. Staff very pleasant and just the right amount of interaction without being overbearing. Atmosphere was just right with a good number of people eating. Well worth the cost. Would highly recommend.

As usual great meal, great friendly staff and great ambience. Excellent service and good value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.

Have enjoyed several really nice meals at The Harbour Lights so decided to try the Christmas Menu and we weren't disappointed, we all had the turkey which was beautifully cooked [not dry] nicely cooked fresh veg and more than enough to go round. We all had dessert including cheese cake and Xmas Pud delicious, excellent value. The staff although very busy were their usual friendly and very efficient selves.

Our first visit to the restaurant at the mill dam after being loyal customers of the mobile pizza truck a few years ago. Pizzas are as good as we remembered them. Really enjoyed our visit and will be back soon

We had the Christmas fair. The turkey was succulent the stuffing was excellent. The veg were beautifully cooked. The Christmas pudding was really nice full of fruit and very tasty. The service was excellent and so very good value
