As I approached this place on a warm spring evening there were a group of boozed-up chavs sat outside barely aware that their kids were trying to dismantle the market stalls across the town square - Welcome to Essex! Yates is based on the ground floor of one of the many concrete monstrosities that make up this toilet of a place. Inside is actually quite nice & bright with a variety of seating options. Bombadier & Young's Bitters on draught - the latter was more acidic than a pint of malt vinegar. Staff were pleasant enough & I actually think that one may have briefly smiled! I did feel somewhat out of place though as I wasn't wearing a baseball cap or any sovereign rings. I probably won't be back.

I agee with xh558. good real ale challenge to JDW,s. Hope the selection improves and the staff get the backing of the people of Harlow.

Very good to see that Yates are now doing Real Ale. The ale is cheaper than the opposition(JDW)and is served well. Long may it continue to inject some competition for good ale back into the town.

food is great value here, 2 meals for �5.95, good range of drinks but no real ale. Pub desperately needs a refurbishment.

Had an enjoyable experience eating there, music was right volume. Clean and tidy.

A very bland bar/pub experience, absolutetly no character and the service was less than acceptable.

They refitted this place out a while back, and made a pretty goof job of it. Put some widescreen tellies on the walls. But, and its a very big but, the music is far too loud, you can't hear yourself think, and its for no reason!
