"It was a good experience. We were seated straight away. Choice of menu was good. Although, I thought the menu wasn't laid out well. Too small a print for anyone with sight problems and a bit jumble. Salad was good the servicer took us separately and was helpful in selecting the salad. Menu was good although I wasn't able to finish as I was slightly unwell. There was a confusion on payment the service instead of splitting the bill it worked differently. Deco of restaurant nice and welcoming. Would come here again."

"Friendly service when you can get someone's attention to take your order. Waving your arms in the air, doesn't have the desired affect either. Manager spent most of her time at the bar, totally oblivious to customers waving to attract attention so they could be served. I could understand if it was busy, but it wasn't. Food, when it arrives, best described as ordinary, nothing to write home about. 4 Jan 2017 Just been today, a lot better than last time, order taken very promptly by very friendly professional staff, but still a long wait for food to arrive, not as though they were rushed. Will say that they are getting better. Food when it arrived was good and hot. Increased my review to 4 stars. Keep it up, we need a descend restaurant in Middlewich."

"My wife, 16 year old son and I popped in here for a drink on a Saturday evening. It was not very busy but still took about 10 minutes to get served at the bar. The first drinks were ok but when I got the next round I noticed it was considerably more than the previous one for a very similar round.It took five minutes to get acknowledged by the bar staff, including the girl who had just served me. Thankfully, I had paid by card and kept my receipt, although it didn 't show the actual drinks ordered. The manager offered to take it upstairs to the office to check it out by said there was no need as all I needed to know was the price of the drinks I had been charged for.Eventually it transpired that I had been charged £2.90 for a small glass of lemonade for my son, almost as much as I had been charged for a pint of beer. I told the manager that I considered that to be a rip off but she explained that the glass could be refilled free of charge. This wasn 't made clear to my wife who had bought the first round. The manager apologised but said I had been charged correctly. I was still fuming and gave her every opportunity to rectify the situation but she stuck rigidly to the rule book. When I told here that it was her choice but to expect to see the review on social media, she said that was unfair as I had been correctly charged.I object to this practice as it would appear to be ripping off families but worse still, it is encouraging children to drink vast quantities of sweet sugary drinks with long term health implications.Looking at the reviews on here, it appears that I am not the only one who thinks this place is awful. I cannot recall having visited an establishment that has more Terrible reviews than any other category."

"This was one of the most disappointing evenings ever! To begin, our table was not ready and we were asked to wait in the bar (apparently the table was being cleared). After 20 minutes wait, and other customers being directed to tables when they came in, we reminded staff that we were waiting and were eventually shown to a table that had just been cleared of the previous diners plates etc. These were on the nearest table. After another 15/20 minute wait, I went to the salad bar hoping that someone might notice that we hadn't ordered but there were no bowls so I took a couple of rolls and waited. I was told by another diner that salad wasn't self service so I went back to the table. We hadn't be told about this change in the system. More waiting and eventually asked someone to take our order. This was done and we went back to the salad bar which was pretty awful too. Hardly any salad and many items missing. Back to the table to eat our salad then another wait for the main course to arrive. After almost an hour of waiting and seeing other diners who had come in before us and had still not received their food, we made the decision to cancel our order and left the restaurant, after complaining to the manager. We certainly will not be returning to this Harvester."

"As soon as we entered the front door the female staff (I’m sorry I forgot her name- she had brown hair) we smiled and greeted my family. Her customer service skills were exemplary; she showed patience, expectations to our orders and more importantly true personality. Throughout the meal she asked if the food was satisfactory and we were all happy with everything. We haven’t been regular to this branch of harvester, but from the service delivered I will now gladly be a patron. The only thing I can think of to improve the service; may be after every starter(s) cutlery will be replenished. We had to ask for more knives and forks as we used or forks for the starters and salad dishes. When our main courses arrived we then asked for replacement cutlery. This is only a minor blip as the overall experience was excellent. Your staff at Monkspath has restored my faith in customer service 10/10"

"arrived and were shown our table, had to wait until it was cleaned what was ok. went to get drinks and took some broth rolls then was spoken too rudely to get them even for covid! the personal should always talk to people as they want to be spoken, never an apology for rude employees. coworkers didn't wear a name mark, but our waitress knew who we thought when we told her and apologized, apparently usual that she was rude! also they can not catch covid from the introduction of a broth roll on a teller! the waitress was very helpful, but waiting for eating was unacceptable, 45 minutes waiting between the curses, was told by a same rude member of the staff, we should wait 30-40 minutes and we should know. we have overheard at least three tables asking where the food was, a problem with the staff. when eating arrived, you had to go back to find out how it was burned! visited the toilets to both block toilets and find faeces covering tissue all over the floor. had heard a complaint before I used the toilet that was clearly ignored. I would have thought that the toilets are regularly checked, but it seems that the staff are more worried about broth rolls and rude to customers than to check toilets are usable and hygienic."

"I have been coming here off and on for years, have no problem with the food, it's very tasty, but my issue is for the last times over the last months when we are just sitting down enjoying our salad the staff are...hovering over us with our main meal! Why aren't we being left to enjoy our salad and then enjoy our main course when we are ready? This never used to happen before , most of the time the table isn't big enough for salad dishes and main course, please let us finish our salad dish before being served with main course."

"From the moment my family and I walked through the door to the minute we left our experience was that of pure joy. Normally eating out is a chore with our two kids as they both have their own unique needs but Tanya who I assume is a manager and Autumn our waitress made sure they went out of their way to include them in their own ways. The food was beautifully cooked, I recommend the double dirty combo which is what I had tonight followed by a liquor coffee complete with a nice shot of glenfiddich. I haven’t been to a harvester for a couple of years and to be honest never had any complaints but also never had much of a reason to compliment the service but tonight we were honestly made to feel like part of the family. Well done guys we couldn’t be happier"

"I visited this two g of the harvester, as it had not been in a past and the vegan options looked pretty good. they now have a very extensive selection, although they could do with a few more nets. I tried the chili maize carn, which was in order, but small in size compared to the veggie/fish dishes my elder ordered. I was thrilled by the unlimited salatable, but there is actually nothing to fill them because the brot, pasta salat and kartoffelsalat are not vegan. So it's really just salad vans. didn't ask for the dressing. they have a vegan crumb with egg dessert and my daughter and I really did. I would probably come back and try some brunch dishes, but in general I think this chain must make more up."

"We booked a table on a Saturday at 17:00 for food . There was a concert on a Bolton stadium and the pub was rammed . The food was ok . Staff very friendly and helpful. The security staff were a joke , men couldn’t get in the men’s toilet because loads of women had decided the queue was to big for the lady’s . There were young boys children that didn’t want to go because of being embarrassed by the women in there . After it was reported to security the answer was “ don’t be a prude “ Could you imagine if I had just walked into the lady’s "
"We met friends here on Sunday as its convenient for both of us. We all started with the salad, which we all enjoyed. I had the belly pork with mash and it was delicious, followed by the Eton mess. They were busy and we were seated in a booth next to a big birthday party, but it didn't give us any problems. The waitress was attentive, reading back all of our orders and this is the only place I've been to in a while where she made a point of asking if I wanted ice cubes in my lemon and lime! I would have taken pictures but was too busy tucking in and enjoying it!"
"We came here as part of a large group for brunch. There was a good choice on the menu for large and small appetites as well as the fussy eaters amongst the family! Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was served quickly. Would be happy to stop by again in the future."

"We frequent this Harvester restaurant several times a year to catch up with friends who also have young children. We always opt for their brunch, which is consistently excellent and well-priced. It keeps us full for the entire day and the ambiance is pleasant."

"Never have I had a polite server at the Harvester in Loughborough. The staff there are usually miserable. I have also never been asked if my meal was ok, or if I wanted anything else and often find myself having to approach staff and ask for service. However today I was pleasantly surprised by our server Caroline. Caroline was polite and a good conversationalist. She regularly checked on us and was very helpful. Thank you Caroline for making our visit an enjoyable one. The only issue we did have was the toilets were disgusting. Full of thick dust and grime everywhere. Food was yummy and we are both now very full and content."

"Okay, so this is a difficult one to score really as I wish I could give it 5 stars for the waitress alone. Her name was Jade and she was absolutely brilliant. She was so friendly and fantastic with my little boy. Nothing was too much trouble for her. I hope she is valued by management as she really is a big asset to your pub. However, her working conditions were appalling. She was running about here, there and everywhere, she looked exhausted. There were no other staff to be seen and I even saw her asking for assistance but this was not given. We had to wait nearly an hour from finishing our meal to getting our dessert. I would have normally complained and walked out but I just couldn 't do that to the waitress. She was manning half the pub, taking orders, making drinks, serving food, cleaning tables. Apart from this, the food was good to be fair and the actual pub itself is very nice. We were on holiday so I don 't know what it used to be like but if these are the conditions your staff work under on a regular basis then you will soon lose customers and gain a bad reputation. Sort out your staffing issues and look after and appreciate the excellent ones you have as if you have a team of Jade 's then wow, you will have a top notch pub."
"Decided to get away here because the location was convenient and I have eaten in another harvester in the past that had a decent menu. Do not expect how pub is like this place (not a restaurant). They're collecting riots from the bar. For Takeaway there are a few starters and some chip pages and three vegan burgers. No desserts. Very limited choice. The food was nice enough, but due to the limited range we will not use this service very much. You can add and remove ingredients on the app, but it does not show vegan options here that feels like a mistake."

"I decided to salate for the main course as I love so much. my 2nd visit in the golden fleece this week. both paintings I was served to my salat from the same friendly helpful server (sorry do not remember their names). she was so friendly helpful with my vegan requirements. she took care of my meal and presented it so beautifully. I must say that I know that many would rather serve the salatable themselves. but I don't agree. I prefer someone who serves as the elimination of cross-contamination by other customers. I had good and bad experiences from other harvesters, but not these. I've always got great, friendly food. well done to all their employees in this restaurant. I should add that others in my party order get the same good quality from the menu"

"harvester is in the regular a great place for really good eating and the unicorn is certainly not an exception. the service is really friendly with all waiters very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks available. it makes a fantastic experience and if they are registered on the line, there are often offers that make some visits even more good worth. stop the good workers!"

"We booked here last minute when let down by a well known Roast dinner provider nearby. We called to request a booking for 15 family members for my daughters 6th birthday, and straight away the gentleman on the phone was polite, friendly and accommodating, booking us in at our requested time straight away. When we arrived, our table wasn't quite ready for us due to a shift change, so our host personally arranged for this to be fixed straight away in super quick time. We were introduced to our server for the evening, Samir, and what a credit to the company he was making sure we all had water, taking our orders at just the right times and all with a smile on his face. He even arranged to bring out the birthday girls dessert with a candle in it for her to blow out without being asked. She was over the moon, and to top it all off, the food was really tasty, well cooked and served promptly. Thank you so much to Samir and the rest of your team for helping to make Our little princess's birthday special."

"They didn't have our booking in their system which caused issues due to it being a busy Mother's Day. Open Table had sent me an email confirmation. They made me feel like it was my fault and I was a burden to them. This was difficult as it is likely to be the last Mothers Day with my mum who has cancer so we were already quite emotional. When I said I had booked a table for the woman at the desk said "but there is of you" I apologised on behalf of my month old son who I didn't know I should have booked a place for. She replied with "so there is that makes it difficult." I appreciate should book for all people but the attitude was ridiculously poor. I felt embarrassed to be such a burden to them, having to bend over backwards to accommodate Mt booking and provide a child seat. Will never go there again, not even under duress. A sensitive mothers day ruined and a shame that Open Table support this restaurant after all of the positive bookings I have made in the past.I hope this was useful to you, I don't usually complain, but I shall certainly remember that meal as the worst meal experience of my life. Thank you, Steve"
