Several of them enjoyed what they feared would be their final drink in the leafy beer garden of the Harvest Barn on a glorious summer day yesterday. Owners Randalls have announced that they are selling the pub, but have so far declined to say who the new owner might be or whether it would be closed. The word at the pub was that the Harvest Barn was not going to remain a pub. Karl Kent, a chef who has been going to the pub for 19 years since he was 17, said that the Harvest Barn was a traditional Jersey pub very different from the sort of bars that St Helier was now full of. ‘I feel gutted,’ he said. ‘I think it is the way the Island is going. St Helier will soon be the only place that you can have a drink. There will be no country pubs left. They seem to want to get everyone drinking in the same area.’
Was this their last drink at the Barn?
