Was here a few weeks ago, wonderful little pub, with fantastic costal views, surprised to see it isnt very busy even on boiling days. Been a few times over the years, should go more often lol.

Is the 4 b0re punt gun still above the bar? Was ther in the '70's when I used to visit with my young daughter.The Harp was on our Sunday afternoon run out in our early Mark 2 Austin Healy Sprite> Daughter sat on the transmition tunnel,no kiddy or booster seats in those days! Next stop was an ice-cream at the post office in Park Gate, regardless of weather or season.Can still taste that rum and raisan!

Can't say I noticed it, though tbh, was sat outside at the tables on the front most of the time, only went in for drinks as the weather was gorgeous.

Re: 497 Harp Inn, Little Neston.
Being where it it, there can be problems getting in or out during a very high tide, such as the one pictured below, in 1982.
The weather was a lot better for the second shot, in 2003.
