Harrington’s Restaurant

Recommendations were by word of mouth and we were certainly not disappointed. My partner and I have been twice in the last week. The food is delicious and wonderful high teas. We have been living in Germany and France for the past 18 months and have been to some wonderful restaurants over there but this is certainly one of our own restaurants here in Scotland to be proud of. John and Lyn spoil everyone with excellent food and ambiance. A lovely night out

just a short note about this resturant if you havent
tried it yet you are of your head. Ok its a little of the busy road but its worth a visit. John and Lyn and all the staff are great. My youngest daughter loves going to visit them almost every week. loves when she gets to pick her own cake. My family would tell anyone to try this resturant and see if you can beet it any where else for taste and service also add to this its great value for money. If you cant finish your meals they ask if you would like a doggy bag. John always asks if there is anything that he can do for you all through the meal. No one is pressurised into leaving the resturant until they have finished there meal. The resturant has been expanded since christmas and now has a lovely little alcove were it can hold a small party

I couldn’t agree more with the original review. Harringtons is indeed a gem.
It is a family run business with ‘the husband’ attending to everything ‘out front’ with a style and expertise that would put many a top end establishment to shame. Whilst behind the scenes ‘the wife’ produces excellent food… no bags of frozen chips or veg here… everything is cooked from fresh and apart from REAL chips which are to die for, they serve up some of the best steaks you will find anywhere.
The menu is varied with something to suit all tastes from good old fashioned steak pie to those wonderful melt in the mouth steaks with a choice of sauces if required.
They also serve high teas every night which are outstanding value for money.
We were customers in their old premises when it was in Airdrie… before developers decided to move in to build houses… and it is testament to this wonderful husband and wife team that so many of their ‘old’ customers are willing to travel to the new restaurant.
It is indeed a gem of a restaurant so much so I wonder should we keep it a secret else we’ll have problems getting a booking.
But dont take my word for this… take a trip to Harringtons and find out for yourself… you wont regret it !!!

Harrington’s Restaurant is a real gem of a place!
It is situated on the Main Street of the, not so very attractive,
Harthill!
A small eatery, the décor is very attractive
and the good use of mirrors makes one feel it
is larger! The tables (around 10 I think) are
placed at a very comfortable distance from each
other, allowing for privacy and intimacy whilst
dining! It is run by a man and there are only
waiters serving it appears.
We went for high tea arriving at 5pm. The
menu was excellent with plenty of choice! All
four of us opted for the steak pie and we were
truly in for a treat!
Helpings were plentiful without being O.T.T.
The food and the plates were piping hot! The
meat was beautifully tender; the flavour of the
the beef and gravy was gorgeous and topped with
oodles of delicious, buttery puff pastry. This
excellent pie was served with carrots, garden peas,
boiled and roast potatoes (all very tasty and
expertly cooked).
The staff were very professional and asked if
we would care for some tea, coffee, scones and
cakes after our meal. We did so and thoroughly
enjoyed home baked current scones with butter
and our choice of cakes from a large tray brought
to our table!
The ladies’ was very hygenic and feminine to
fault!
We chose to drink iced water with our meal.
For all of this it cost a total of £38 only!
Harrington’s deserves to go big but, perhaps,
the owner prefers to keep it small and homely
and it would be spoiled otherwise! Tourists in
Glasgow or Edinburgh would love this restaurant,
I’m sure as would local people!
Apologies that I could not find
the location on the Qype Map but the telephone
number is provided if you’re interested! It’s
very easy to get to by car and is off the M8 motorway
between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Just take the
Harthill cut off (c. 20mins drive from city
centres).
A huge thumbs up to Harrington’s Restaurant!
