Went for salad at salad bar, it was depleted . We managed to get some lettuce and cucumber and beetroot- but then had a very disjointed wait as we waited for the replenishment to happen . Even then the variation was not good and items that are usually there such as olives and red coleslaw were not available. In addition they have ceased doing my favourite garlic kicking sauce and the rolls are not fresh. Very disappointing and with all the getting up and down to check the salad bars contents it was indigestion for me! I complained but I just got a stroppy defensive reply. Normally we are loyal to harvester - but no more . Somebody open a place please where there’s salad!!

Visited the Bells of Ouzeley Harvester near Windsor. Tried to order a gin and tonic only to be told, on a Saturday evening, that there was no tonic water in stock but the waitress thought that lemonade was a good alternative.The salad bar was pathetic and until I asked there were no bread rolls or butter. Our steaks, when the arrived, were tough, even with a steak knife, and had fat and gristle rendering the almost edible part well under the advertised weight. The menu advertised the various sauces and dressings. I asked to buy a bottle of the Red Devil dressing, again there was none available. We used to visit Harvester restaurants regularly and they were good value for money. The food was always good and the service used to be efficient and friendly. There’s something seriously wrong with the management of that restaurant and I can only say “ never again “

Food tastless could not tell taste wise eating fish chips peas prior to being served the food left on the country for over 10 mins about to collect my self when asked by a waitress would we like to order we explained our order is sitting on the serving counter the manager passed the food sitting on the counter twice made no attempt to have the meals delivered to the table the establishment was vertually empty Hence we left the food we explained when paying the bill of our concerns When in Hatfield never visit harvester

I want to thank the two people I dealt with  for a lovely breakfast when I was out with my brother a few weeks back. This was at Harvester Llanedeyrn and whilst Harvester doesn't have the best reputation as a restaurant, I speak as I find and this experience was great. In my opinion, once the food is acceptable, it is the staff and their attitude that make the extra difference and add to the enjoyment of the diner. The lady was kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and we enjoyed our breakfast very much. My brother had the all-you-can-eat English breakfast and I had the Eggs Benedict; it was delicious with perfectly poached eggs. If I had one improvement, it would be to make sure that the hot water for tea is really boiling, otherwise it tastes a bit 'soapy', but overall, I'm very happy. We'll definitely be back and in fact, we'll be there on Monday 10th September. Look forward to seeing you then!

The menu was varied and choices suited all of us (3). The Meal was enjoyed by all. However, no matter whats on the menu a Xmas table deserves a special touch and added sparkle to the place settings and a festive centerpiece than three crackers to pull which hardly highlighted the mood at the heart of the celebrations for most of us to enjoy and the lower end of the price point Xmas crackers were not a saving grace to the poor table settings.

MY PARTNER and myselfvisited the Talbot green restaurant,and was appauled at the amount of flies around us at the table in the air on the fixtues evan landing in our drinks which had to be replaced, a member of staff was happyto move us to a different table but the problem was stillthe same we had lovely food as always but couldn't finish it because of the constant flies around which we then left half of our meal, when asked a member of staff about why was the so many flies simply response was he didntknow they have checked the bins had a clean but this problemthey said have been so several weeksnaw,fairtosay we will not be returning to this restaurant again,very disappointed.

My wife and I ate at the Middlewich Harvester, Breakfast and Evening meal, between 15th July and 18th while we stayed at the local Travelodge. We found all the staff friendly, helpful and polite. The meals were cooked to order and very good value. There was a good selection on the salad bar in the evening and in the morning a selection of cereals, yoghurts and fruit. The only downs side that we had was a couple of hard eggs at breakfast but these were replaced.

I visited this Harvester on Sunday evening 2nd July with my son & fiancé for a celebratory meal, as my son & fiancé had not yet met one another & we had only been engaged a month. My son also lives in Dubai, so I seldom get to see him. We chose this Harvester as it is close to home, so we can walk. The restaurant was not very busy. We had to ask three times to order our drinks, the third time after ordering our meal. We ordered two glasses of Oyster Bay & one re-fillable soda. Eventually one glass of wine arrived & the soda; we called a different waiter to ask about the other glass of wine, to be told that was the last of the bottle & another bottle would have to be fetched from the cellar but it wouldn't be chilled .... Eventually a second glass of wine arrived. We ordered two gammon steaks with pineapple, & a steak. When the meals arrived, the plates looked rather empty ... the beef tomato was missing from all the plates (but a mushroom substituted on each plate - my fiancé does not eat mushrooms); my pineapple was missing & the onion rings were missing from the steak order ... When checking with our waitress we were told there were no tomatoes (hello ... what about using the other tomatoes from the salad bar?), whatever the problem was with my pineapple I was told it was on the way - I never did get it ...; the missing onion rings duly arrived, just tipped onto the plate. Then ... time for dessert - the cherry pie was available but not with cream; no cheesecake, or key lime pie ... by which time we gave up. No tip for the waitress, though none of this was her fault. I did not complain to the manager as I did not want to spoil the evening by making a scene, but this was so disappointing as the ambience is really nice. This was the second disappointing visit in a couple of months; we met friends for drinks & a meal one Saturday - we had booked & it was very busy. We were placed at a table directly under the air-conditioning, so asked to be moved. My friend couldn't eat her gammon as it was too salty. Tuesday 18th. I have just spoken to the manager on duty; decided to call first before making this review public. He did not seem too interested; said there was nothing they could do for me two weeks down the line. Said I should have spoken up on the night; I said I had spoken to two waiters … I said |I was not asking for anything, just wanted to let them know. He said they have had numerous complaints about missing items & that the restaurant has been having supply problems. I said at the very least they should have told us at the time & given us the option of ordering something else. We definitely won’t be returning there again!  

My husband and went the Harvester in Kettering for my 70th birthday, I ordered the rump steak (medium rare). It was cooked perfectly for a medium rare, but was almost inedible due to being so tough and stringy - could not even cut it with the steak knife provided. Very disappointed - spoilt my birthday.

Tonight visited Crooked Billet, Bromley Common/Petts wood Harvester. For myself and young daughter. Told had long wait today at 6pm, so bought daughter and myself drinks and snacks to help us, but got sat after eating half snacks, so annoying spend, but good we got in quicker, then having no starter (just usual salad), main meal and kids pudding, service totally understaffed, so was there for 1 1/2hrs. Childs mash wasn't wanted: sticky and galloopy, adult ribs ok, but very little sauce on them. I'm not fussy on hot food, but chips and tiny portion of peas in a cup were so cold I couldn't eat them, but never had waitress to ask about meal, so by the time we got her attention, didn't want to have them on their own. Obviously others had same: caught our waitress at serve from chef counter, TOUCHING THE CHIPS WITH THE BACK OF HER HAND SEVERAL TIMES, which showed me others had complained before me, on cold chips, awful thing; later saw her wipe her nose on back of same hand area: so likely her habit of cleanliness!! :-( EEEUW! My rib meal think £12.50 was served on a tin plate dish, so you think would at least be hot- why? Not even stylish! Received one free kids pud: cheapest of the two though! Pads were served in white cereal bowls, that made us feel real 'special'!!? Daughters 'cone on top' thought would be a nice one: was bog standard cheap cone. Toilet roll not added to correct area, miss match of taps on sinks. I don't write reviews very often, but had to this time. Used to be a real fan of this restaurant, but few years ago, after disappointments, not been back. Gave them a second chance: failed. Won't return. Sorry. Amazed they so busy: so many complaints. Must be lure of free salad.

Served. By servile waitress two of the meals v overcooked and dry as sawdust complained next day, didn't want to wait for two more meals to be recooked apparently should have complained on the day. Manager emailed told us this so not interested in our complaint. Strongly advise don't have chicken

Arrived for meal on time to find myself standing at door for ten mins, went to the bar and ordered 2 pints and 3 diet cokes, all 3 coke glasses had lipstick or other residue on them so asked the waitress if she could change them for us, then proceeded to watch as she checked numerous so called clean glasses before having to clean 3 by hand !!!! We then sat down for meal and before we even had time to hardly look at menu we were approached for our order . 3 of us went to salad bar which was only half stocked and full of what I can only describe as mush !! My mother in law then ordered fish &chips which is her favourite but was told was off the menu as frier was broken !!! I had ribs which were tasteless and my wife had chicken wings that had no colour or flavour !! All in all the worst meal we've ever had as a family

Went for a family birthday meal at a Harvester in Chingford. We got there at 12.50pm, food order was 1.10pm. Food arrived at 2pm. Pint of Guinness was the worst I have ever had, no head and not sure it was Guinness at all!. The food was poor. At least three of us got food we didn't order, and were charged for that extra food. The meat was completely dry and inedible, the veg was stone cold. The worst pub meal I have had in over twenty years. Will never recommend Harvesters as places to eat or drink. Appalling!

chicken was tough to slice and bacon could not be cut was too hard, it was obvious that this meal had been previously cooked, warmed and served again. We will never eat there again.

We went to Harvester Aylesbury for lunch for a 'treat'. It was our first time in a Harvester. We normally eat very healthily so this made a change. We weren't expecting 5 star, but it would have been nice to be able to go there again. Aylesbury is sadly lacking in decent eating places. I was half-expecting battered greasy onion rings and fat flabby chips, so the sweet potato fries were a pleasant surprise, thin, crunchy and crisp. They were the only thing I enjoyed. Sadly my husband's chips were grey, fat, boring and flabby, he left most of them and he usually loves chips. He said he preferred the ones he gets from the chip van! The 2 really tiny sweet potato and onion kebabs - supposedly a 'sharing starter' - were basic but quite nice, but not enough for 1, let alone 2. Luckily my husband didn't want to try them cos he hadn't a clue what they were. They were coated in sickly sweet spicy sauce. My sausage whirl was Ok - hard to go wrong there - but the 'buttered french beans', served rather fetchingly in a chipped enamel mug, were weirdly leathery, old, tough and stringy, obviously frozen not fresh. I love my greens but couldn't eat them. My husband had a very average sirloin steak, with a rather meagre single slimy shapeless black mushroom and half a tomato, as he didn't fancy anything else on the menu. Some nice fresh broccoli or peas would have been great, but there were no fresh veg at all. I tried several of the sauces but couldn't eat them as they were loaded with sugar and tasted like orangina. The 'unlimited drinks' were limited to pepsi, lemonade and water. The 'unlimited' salad bar was also lacking in much choice - it included tinned pineapple, gherkins and sweetcorn, plain sliced raw onions, plasticky tasting carrot and dried-out looking olives, spose it could have been worse and several of the pans were almost empty. None of the staff made any attempt to refill it despite the restaurant being almost empty too. We had to pick up quite a few salad bowls before finding a clean one, and several of the sauce dishes were also dirty. The cutlery was all smeared too. My husband's coffee was served without milk (which we had to ask for) and there was no brown sugar. The waitresses were wandering about uninterestedly, one with a dirty teatowel stuffed into her apron string, and tables were left uncleaned. We do appreciate that these young people are almost certainly untrained and paid minimum wage though. But the food was quite expensive for what it was. Nothing special. At least we didn't go there for Christmas dinner! We will not be clamouring at your door again any time soon, Harvester.

We have just come back from what can only be described as the worst Harvester we have eaten in, there were 15 of us out on a family Christmas meal, the trainee waiter had an almighty accident with the drinks,glasses went over all over the place drenching coats,seats and mobile phones, there was glass everywhere. When we ordered the food (this was 8pm on a Saturday) they had no spit roast chicken but was offered a chicken breast instead, I can only describe this as half of a flattened bit of chicken, the chips were like carboard and the ribs were all bone..a few others in our group said the same. The gents toilets were overflowing and had a puddle under the electric hand dryer- great if you touched it while standing in the water, the toilets stank, I am told the ladies toilet were filthy and had no toilet roll...they were kind enough to not charge us for the drinks but overall it was awful and I for one will not be going back.

one of the waiters, is incredibly nice and she makes sure you have everything you want. my food was cooked by a guy and it was amazing and so were the desserts. the rolls on the salad bar are amazing and so is everything else on there. The wait for the food is not to long and the seats are comfortable.
