All of our meals were really nice, the salad bar was all nice and fresh, the waitress was very nice and polite, The toddler we had with us had made quite a bit of mess on the floor which we offered to clean up before leaving, but she said she would do it, definitely visit here again

Went here due to it being close to the hotel I’m staying in. Service was very unenthusiastic and to be honest a little rude. Asking questions and just no answer from the lad at the bar. Food was nice though although starter was served with no cutlery… when the main came still none so I asked and you had to get it yourself. Would have been nice to be informed about this but with no conversation possible at the bar when ordering I guess that was a long shot at best. It was ok but I wouldn’t likely go back to harvester based on this as I like good service and I can find it in most other places.

The food came promptly, the quality was very good but we had to ask several times for the bill. The atmosphere was OK, just very generic for a Harvester and nothing special about it.

I'm not used to a harvester. I arrived to find everyone busy on phones. Asked about food at the bar to be told no problem, no menus available. I was told to go to the front door and order. Food delivered without cutlery or napkins, bod was back behind the bar so I found a table stacked with napkins and helped myself. Didn't have my first order so swapped for something else after payment. I can imagine if I was in the restaurant side it would be quite a different experience. I hope

Salad bar was sad and small, rolls were stale. Kids chicken was grey and dry. Rotisserie chicken was nice and moist but ribs had hardly any meat on them. The new corn bread is disgusting, wrong taste and texture and oily. Server was rude and not at all friendly and service was ridiculously slow especially considering there was a maximum of 5 tables seated. Really really disappointing

A little dirty and run down. Waiter failed to listen and bring me the correct order. And didn't know key info about the menu. Possibly just new but could have offered to check. Also over zealous asking if I was finished when I had knife and fork in hand putting food in my mouth. Very pleasant person but doesn't have the knack for the job.

We meet up with friends here about once a month as it is half way house initially. The food is fine for all four of us. We all have varying tastes but can always find something that is suitable for us all. The prices are good and there are regular special offers. We all live the help yourself salad bar. Sadly however, the doors are about to close . It appears that it is going to become a steakhouse. Think we are able to get one more visit in , then that will be the last. We don’t like steakhouses.

Really lovely place, with wood fire on entrance, very homely. Was served by Tehya, really bubbly and friendly, could not have been more helpful. Food was really good, and good sized portions, free salad cart was an added bonus. Will definitely be returning and would happily recommend.

It was busy but still very cosy and calm and the service was great. We could see the waiting staff were rushed but they were all so happy and positive and friendly. Standard harvester food cooked well and nice and hot. My son made a kebab out of his chicken burger 🤷‍♂️😁

Excellent service as always! I had the simply chicken and my partner had the dirty bird burger. Was cooked to perfection and both meals were very tasty. The macaroni cheese was not greasy and you could really taste the cheese without it being too overpowering. A big thank you to Courtney, she always makes us feel so welcome, her customer service is amazing, and makes our experience so much more enjoyable going above and beyond! Thank you from Jess and Bobby, we will be back again!

Staying at a Holiday Inn next door and having just checked in, we booked to eat at 2100 hrs on the Harvester app. When we arrived on time, the member of staff who greeted us was incredulous that we had actually been able to book for 9 pm as the "kitchen closes at 9". He checked with the kitchen that we could be served and showed us to a seat. We felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome and were reluctant to spend money on a rushed meal. We left and I explained to another member of staff that we were leaving and that we didn't feel welcome. We ended up with pie and chips from a local chippy.
