"So where to begin ok first time for me going to this Harvester and once parked up walking to the entrance I noticed the sign hanging on the wall in need of repair and overall you can see it's not been looked after or maintained for a few years, once inside we were ushered to our table, Once sat down we were offered the menu mine had the added bonus of dried food stuck inside the menu as well as someone's hair lucky me. After ordering food and drinks we were offered to go to the salad bar and pick choices which were added to the bowls all good although the Harvester salad cart isn't anything like the Harvester of years ago Back at the table and first forkful of mixed salad I realised the fork I used had left over food welded to the prongs another surprise I wasn't expecting. Looking around and you realise this venue hasn't been maintained or cleaned properly for a very long time, dust and grease on the lampshades stains on Paint skirting boards coming away from structures and I don't think the outside seating area has seen a jetwash in the last few years. Going to the toilet! Well what can I say that's positive the hand dryer works well! So cubicle covered in graffiti tags and clearly the cleaning team don't go anywhere near the back of the toilet as it's clearly not seen a cleaning cloth mop or bleach in years! The hot water on sink 1 doesn't work and the hot water on sink 2 doesn't get hot So back to the food I ordered the mix grill with rump steak having watched someone opposite trying to cut his streak that kinda looked like boot leather I asked for medium rare hopefully it'll arrive medium, I was right to a degree it was cooked way beyond medium rare and medium in fact it was beyond well but it was edible The size of the meal is enormous but the gammon is unbelievably salty and again cooked a lot longer than necessary but again edible Overall it's very disappointing and it's not a venue I'll return to until the owners decide to update the property and show improvement to the state of the toilets and overall cleaning standard as well as repairs, The only positive I can say is the service staff do genuinely try and give you a positive and enjoyable experience it's just a shame the management owners don't give them a nice environment to work in."

"We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery."
