Harvester Reviews

We go to harvester the Arden Oak Coventry road Sheldon on a regular basis,Cath is amazing every time we go we have fantastic customer service very friendly and nothing is to much for her the food is always very good

Went for breakfast in the Larkswood Chingford, ordered my food with poached which r on the menu, when the food arrived I was told there are no poached eggs and when I pointed out there were two fried eggs on my plate the waitresses reply was they don’t do poached eggs to which I pointed out they were on the menu her next answer was they took too long to cook, I said I was willing to wait to which I was told I just wasn’t going to get poached eggs 😡😡will not be back

Visited harvester flamstead today at lunchtime (12pm( Although the food was ok. We did have to wait about an hour for our food not sure if this was because we ordered starters or not. But my main concern is the high chairs. I brought my twins 1 years old with me and the high chairs are not designed for babys at all. My little boy didnt have any straps on his arms. He couldnt reach the table either as the high chairs dont have trays which is ridiculous. He was able to climb out wich made it very stressful to eat. Maybe they need to invest in proper high chairs with trays for young children.

on a visit to the harvester at Livingston we were told to help yourself at the salad bar only to find that there was only scraps left .the staff did not bother to replenish it.also we had to put our coats back on as it was frozen .it must be the worst restaurant we have ever been in will never use these branches ever again .a waste of £45 when you ask for the steak to be well done you don't expect it to be still pink

On Christmas Eve 2019(Harvester Pub Morden), we ordered the Christmas roast dinner. The food was horrible and all of the vegetable were frozen. After that we realised that one of our knifes were full of stains.Also the staff were in a heated argument and didn’t realise that we could hear them. It was a waste of money and I would not recommend it for anyone. We expected that it would be nice but we were greatly mistaken. I will never visit that place again in my life.

went to harvester llandarcy today the chips were coated in a powder which tasted like salty stuffing unedable as we were in a rush we didn't have time to make a fuss but I and my husband will not be eating in harvester again

Visited Snuff Mills, Frenchay, in Bristol. Vegetarian moussaka was burnt and tasted like BBQ sauce. Really small portion, not value for nearly £11. Had to sent it back. Was given Thai veg curry instead, cost over £11 and arrived in about one minute straight out of the microwave. Slightly bigger portion, but huge rip off for the price. Mum had steak sandwich, massive chunks, full of grissle, mostly inedible. Waitress said this was normal for rump steak - nowhere else serves rump steak like this, even in a sandwich. Waitress was basically uninterested. Daughters ribs had barely any meat in them. All in all shockingly bad quality meal and you can tell the staff have no idea how to deal with disatisfied customers.

1) Understaffed, it took 15 mins before we were served for a drink. Not once was we asked if the meal was ok.

2) Food was out within 3/4 mins of ordering, we had barely got a drink and salad. Was literally uncooked, not cold, uncooked.

3) The meal was bland and just rubbish basically.

4) Massively overpriced. The price of the meal vs quality is a joke really. Wetherspoons is better and half the price.

Summary of the above, I stopped going to Harvesters 3/4 years ago because of the poor quality food, now you pay over the odds for it so absolutely the last time I go to a Harvester. Really not sure how they are still going as a business to be honest, probably because they sell alcohol. Just can’t understand why anyone would choose them over a Wetherspoons, granted the food isn’t great, but Harvester is worse, at least Wetherspoons have a good selection of alcohol.

When we got there as a family we ordered two breakfasts and two buffet breakfasts. We also ordered a few pancakes. We waited 2 hours for our food and then the pancakes were stone cold and the sausages were rock hard. We consulted the harvester manager about our issues with the food but he just said that they were fine when it was clear that they were not. Then one of the people who was with me got agitated and we left. We are definately NOT coming back here!

Went to Harvester kingswinford 11/1/2020.
Previous visits have been nice however on this occasion it was really poor. We booked a table for 4 online at short notice for a 20:45 sitting for 2 adults and 2 children.
We all ordered steak on various meals. The food was delivered in good time but the server told us there wasnt any available steak knives and she would bring some when they were but offered no apology. After nearly 10 mins of food going cold we had to ask for them, again no apology. Every steak was full of gristle and undercooked. My youngest had a kids rump which was bloody and only got 2 decent mouthfuls. My oldest had an adults 8oz rump and she left half of as it was full of gristle and well under cooked but she was saved by the mac n cheese side. My wifes 8oz rump was cooked better but again full of gristle. I had the ultimate mixed grill which on the whole was nice but the steak again full of gristle. We filled an empty salad bowl with all the unedible steak. We joked that as 9pm was later than usual to eat at a busy family restaurant that all the best cuts of steak had been used up and caught the tail end and had all the crap. Not once did our server come back and ask if everything was ok with our meals. If she did then we would of sent the lot back but it was late and we were all starving so didnt make a fuss. It just wasnt a nice experience at all. The only small positive was we got 40% off mains by downloading the app. Wont be returning in a hurry if at all.

Just been for Breakfast with a large group and whilst the food was good and felt like value for money it was our server Darby who made the difference. Happy, attentive and easy to get on with, a real asset to the restaurant and I'd gladly revisit. Thanks Darby.

If anyone here has given a bad review for Harvester then perhaps go back again (Morden Harvester) and get Emi to wait on you. She is fantastic, so full of life, kind and extremely welcoming. You can see that shes not just nice due to it being her job but because she is genuinely a lovely lady. We need more people like her. Thank you Emi for making our dinner a lovely one.

Good place for serious allergy suffers.

Up to now I will always give Harvester as many stars as possible.

Why... Well with having the Joy's of a serious Nut allergy, I have always found Harvester supportive. Very understanding and well trained staff that take time to go through allergies. Staff are very clued up and happy to assist.

As a serious Nut allergy sufferer I have to carry EpiPen's at all times. I am often paranoid about eating at certain places and some places I now avoid for the reason of lack of understanding or they just don't care.

However Harvester I cannot praise enough. Good food cheap and good quality and lots of it..

Thank you for being understanding and caring.

We have been to the harvester today for lunch. We won’t be going back !! The head waitress (Claire) was very rude to us and actually argued with us ! On arrival . Had it just been myself and partner I would of left as no customer should be spoken to in that way.
Our waiter was great very polite and helpful. The food at best was average ! But for the money I’ve had a lot better.
Claire needs a lot more courses on general manners and could learn a lot if she conducted herself in the same manner as the rest of the staff.

The Edgware/Mill Hill branch has improved but still has a long way to go. When I last visited I walked out before ordering because of the attitude of the staff but I thought I would give them another chance. Staff extremely pleasant (have they changed manager and/or staff?). The salad bar was appetising this time. The vegetarian options have increased in number and, hopefully, quality. I ordered a vegetarian moussaka which came with two slices of garlic bread and some wilted salad. I sent the moussaka back as it was barely warm. It came back slightly warmer having been blitzed in the microwave. I was hungry so ate it. Maybe a return visit in another couple of years to see if there is any further improvement.

Christmas day dinner was awful. The veg was hard, the steak was not cooked and was very rare and the mushrooms were uncooked, the waiter very apologetic but wasn't much he could do he offered management however I declined as the restaurant was very busy. I am not impressed and disappointed that for the first time ever i went there for Christmas lunch, I will not be going again

For a company (Mitchell &Butler) to have promoted Mental Health twice on their blog, and then to disregard it from one of their own employees, is in my eyes Totally Disgusting!!

Always nice food, sometimes staff are a bit moody so puts you off a bit

Went to The Atherleigh in Leigh for the festive menu, booked in advance with allergy information. We were presented with a blue folder, which I assume was for staff information, which listed all ingredients. We soon discovered that their gluten free menu does not actually exist, and nothing on the festive menu was suitable, including roast potatoes? They have a good choice for vegans and vegetarians, which is a choice not an allergy! So 2 choices available on main menu, one of which was unavailable, so chicken breast it was. How can a chain like this not cater for gluten intolerance? Then we had the most disinterested waitress ever, while taking our order, she seemed more interested in what was going on behind her than right in front of her. We really used to enjoy going here, but since my wife found out about her allergy, we will not be returning again.

They gave me a parking ticket £85 as thanks for eating at their restaurant. If you are wondering what the hell then join the club. A burger, fruit juice and chicken thing a total of £130. Did ask the Montague Arms and euro car parks to address the situation but so far that hasn't happened. I guess they prefer possibly one of the worst reviews of customer service online.

Charlotte the waitress was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best waitress I have EVER come across! She was funny, kind and made us feel at home. Words can’t describe how great she was. For her I’d give a rating of 10 stars but due to the food I will only leave 4.

Total waste of our time, first and last time at this HARVESTER BRADLEY STOKE BRISTOL,
Both in our 70s, we took time to dress up, and have a night out at this HARVESTER.
When we arrived we waited at reception area for 10 minutes for someone to show us to a table, when the girl did come over to us, we asked for a table for two, she asked if we booked, I said no, did not think you had to, and seeing the restaurant was half full, she just could not be bothered to help us, we went nearby to a local pub to have a meal,{which was great} on returning back to our car Harvester Bradley stoke was still half empty.
Certainly would not recommend anyone eating here, HARVESTER BRADLEY STOKE, RUBBISH SERVICE.

Visited the Old Castle last Thursday,we were seated straight away and our drinks taken by the manager,we had a lovely meal,hot and plenty on the plate,we both had the Xmas Meal followed by the combo sweet,all tasteful and well presented,the staff were friendly and manager seemed on top,respected by staff,the salad bar before I forget was plenty of choice and fresh,definitely visit again

I visited a few days ago and won’t be going back again,crap tasteless food That was expensive poor service and witnessed salad tongs on the floor getting put straight back into the salad,complained and got a simple ‘sorry’ email back appalling

My sons mac n cheese kids meal looked disgusting and the taste was awful he didn’t even eat it! My roast dinner was not hot enough, we didn’t have time to ask for another as had to get the kids back. Staff were friendly and waiter did offer us 20% off the bill but unfortunately due to the food we won’t be going here again.
