    Food presentation, hot and delicious cooked perfectly I love your famous rack of ribs. Your staff are always polite and courteous this helps make visit more enjoyable. We will most definitely be returning again in the near future if only for the Rack of Ribs.

    Have been to the Harvester quite a few times, on this occasion the food was very bland. Both me and my wife ordered the chicken stack. When it arrived the topping which i presume was supposed to be chicken strips were just pieces of hard batter. The whole dish was very dry. Not a very good experience i have to say this time.

    Had to wait 15 minutes beyond booking time for the table. No rotisserie chicken and the fryer was broken.

    Not a lot.Apart from the warm welcome, the table we were allocated, there was food dropping under feet.The food was cold and unappetising.

    We enjoyed the meal (chicken) but we were disappointed that the fried fish and scampi couldn't be served due to fish fryer being out of order. We sat ar our favourite table but restaurant was very busy so had a long wait for our meal to arrive. Our waitress, Charlotte, was very attentive and explained situation to us. All in all a lovely tasting meal.

    First time returning for some time, the tables are so close together that people bumped in whilst dinning. The food arrived which was dry, chicken, jacket potato was Luke warm. The second food arrived and initially tasked ok, was not that hot and then a hair which was not mine. The desion was made to remove the cost of one of the meals. There should be consideration for the serves for have their hair tied back as all didn't, leaving food at risk Will not be returning and would not recommend.

    The food and service was good but although I sat near a radiator the place was freezing cold which spoilt the birthday lunch somewhat

    A cozy restaurant setting with women enjoying breakfast dishes, including scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, toasted bread, and fresh fruit, complemented by coffee.

    Lovely warm welcome! Gorgeous real fire as soon as you walked in. Waitress was just lovely with a smile throughout service. Breakfast was enormous! Also delicious! Great value too. Will definitely be back!

    Service was very slow, we waited 1hr 15mins to be served. We were absolutely frozen all the time we were there. We did ask if there was a problem and were told oh I'll look into for you. No one did

    Great service from friendly & efficient staff. Good main course menu choices but a bit limited on desserts. I have limited hearing & found our table location very noisy with other groups close by - difficult for conversation on our table.

    The Staff were very polite and friendly. A few of kids running around, which I personally found a bit of a pain.

    The menu was so poor for plant based choices. Other than a burger everything is meat, poultry and dairy. If it wasn't for the salad bar it would havd been 1*. Service was "fair". Took ages to get order taken even though it wasn't busy. The waitress was lovely though. Knowledgeable and helpful. Had to call over two waitresses before we eventually got the bill. Surroundings were pleasing.

    The person who served us was so attentive and friendly and the food was first class in guality and price But some areas in the restaurant looked a bit shabby and tired and few bits of rubbish near the entrance that could have been removed but it didn’t stop our superb night out so much so that when my grandsons comes over from Finland with his girlfriend we are bring them for a meal

    The one criticism I do have was the failure to ensure the condiments on the tables were at least half full in terms of salt, pepper and vinegar prior to the restaurant opening. This problem was not confined to my table only but appeared to be general with other customers experiencing similar short comings. This did not detract from the overall visit though.

    45 mins wait even though restaurant wasn’t busy. Seated and given glasses but had to wait for 15 mins and I asked what we needed to do to order. Salad bar was ok but needs replenishing quickly and no plates to put bread rolls on Worst bit was food quality. Overly soggy corn on the cob and my bbq and Giulios was over cooked and hard . Was too tired and hot to complain but not very impressed at all. Waiting staff were lovely though and polite

    We have been coming for a number of years 3/4 times a year. Tonight was awful, atmosphere was hot and food was poor quality, 2 meals not to expectation. 1 wrong meal another cold. Waiting for drinks order when restaurant was quite empty, had to Chace a waiter down for a drinks order. No meal check back to see if anything was okay or needed anything Waitress issued drinks to the table with her fingers touching the rim of the glass and bracelets hanging towards glasses poor hygiene practices and unacceptable food hygiene behaviour.

    I booked this a few weeks ago but when we got there they had no record of my booking even though I had a message yesterday to ask me not to forget my booking! As it turned out , you had told the Harvester it was the 2nd September although you had confirmed this for the 2nd August. This was a family birthday meal and fortunately they were able to fit us in. However it could have been a different matter so that was a very disappointing start to our meal.
