Summerdreams's review of Harvester Restaurants

“I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! We always go...”

★★★★★

written by Summerdreams on 27/03/2011

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! We always go before we're due to fly, just before we drive to the airport if it's a later flight or the night before if it is early. It's just a tradition really. But we also go for special occasions. I went for my friends birthday a few weeks back for the first time this year, but we are going again for mothers day.



First of all the atmosphere is really nice. There is a nice cosy log fire, a really friendly warm sense about the place and nice decorations that give it an old, rustic feel, and nice soft lighting. I have been here with a boyfriend, friends and family and have found all the experiences great, the atmosphere for all is perfect.



As for the menu..As a picky vegetarian, I love the fact that there are different vegetarian options. All the food I have eaten there has been delicious and the portion sizes are on the generous side, especially if you plan to have dessert as well! There is a wide variety for everyone, and also an individual kids menu and free refills of fizzy drinks.



Being a very picky eater I sometimes have just sides. For example I will have garlic bread, onion rings and chips as a main meal. Only last time we were told they were being stricter with the salad cart and unless I chose a main meal I couldn't have the salad cart, but the waitress was really lovely and let me go to the salad cart anyway! The staff are always really friendly and bubbly and ready to help.



The salad cart is amazing! It's easy to get too carried away and forget about your main meal though, there's so much to choose from. Loads of fresh salads, some pineapple, coleslaw, potatoes, pasta, and this amazing red devil sauce [you HAVE to try this.] And you can visit it as much as you like while your waiting for your main course which really passes the time- and it's free with your main course!



Another great thing about the Harvester is that the calories of the food are readily available on the menu and website, so if you are watching your calories you can plan your meals! I can't say the meals are particularly low calorie, but the food is amazing and the portion sizes are huge.



Overall I can't fault this restaurant. Every time I have been I have wanted to come back. The only thing that I can say against it is that sometimes it will be full and you'll be told to wait for 40 minutes or so for a able to free up. Overall it has a great atmosphere, great food, quick service, efficient and friendly staff and the price isn't so bad either! Great value for money and worth a visit.
