"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."

This is the best Harvester restaurant we have visited. We would definitely return again.

The food is delicious, well-prepared, and comes with a generous portion of tasty salad. The prices are reasonable too. I will definitely come back again!

Staff very friendly for our big party. The waitress was happy, smiling and attentive. The food was excellent from the starters to the net with puddings delicious.

The staff was great especially Sally quite a laugh and good food. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were made to feel special. Thanks to everyone at the forges.

Nice meal though, the pork belly was a little overpriced for quality (and for only a cut of pork,) mashed potato was a bit dry. Chips with the bbq stack were basic with little flavor. Salad excellent as always. deserts delicious. Thanks.

The food at this restaurant was very dry and tough. My steak was overcooked, even though I specifically asked for it to be medium rare. It was practically inedible, so I had to send it back. The staff eventually informed me that they would deduct it from my bill, which I definitely expected.

The staff were welcoming and very friendly when we arrived and throughout our stay on a fairly quiet Tuesday night. Meal starter followed by ribs and dirty burgers, kids fish fingers and chips was served hot and fine. The salad bar was nicely stocked and fresh. Overall a bit pricey for a family of 4 although we had a lovely time as first time visitors from the West Midlands.

We got it. A friendly greeting and we sit fast. The servers were very pleasant and we have our drinks and food very fast. If I'm honest, the service was probably fast and we hardly finished our starters before the net was served. The food was a good quality and served cakes hot. I'm not a big fan when I return to chains, but must say this is probably one of the best harvesters I've ever visited

We have been to the Harvester on other occasions and on this occasion was left feeling unsatisfied. The menu was rather boring. The salad bar was free but supervised which meant certain selections gave more than just a taster. The hot choices for both diners arrived well before the salad had been finished consequently sitting on the table an unnecessarily long time. I fully understand the covid protocols played some part in the ambience but nevertheless it did affect our experience. At this point in time we are looking at alternatives
