"After a bit of trouble, when one of the wheels on the wheelchair broke, a kind man named John came to our aid. He was a true hero and I am incredibly grateful to him for helping us get D back home safely. While at home, D mentioned that he wanted to go out for fish and chips. He suggested Harvester, recalling that he used to visit there every Wednesday. Although he couldn’t quite remember the name, he did remember the location. I was perfectly fine with going to Harvester, so I called Star Cabs, which I had found while on my way to Hornchurch. I had suggested taking a cab days in advance. The cab drivers were courteous and helpful, and upon our arrival at Harvester, we were warmly greeted and seated by the lovely Sean. Since I couldn’t get in touch with Star Cabs for our return trip, Sean kindly offered to call them for us. Now, as for the Harvester itself – what a wonderful and clean establishment! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. D shared with the cab driver that he used to come here every Wednesday after his wife passed away, reminiscing about how the waitresses all knew him, but he assumed they wouldn’t be around anymore. How wrong he was! Karen, an absolutely lovely lady who was helpful, accommodating, and very professional, approached us and said, “You used to come here every Wednesday, and just last week we were talking about you, although I couldn’t remember your name.” She was genuinely thrilled to see D and gave him a hug, which really made his day. Our meals were fantastic; we ordered from the main menu. D had the gammon steak with chips and all the trimmings, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the spare ribs, and they were simply amazing – I even needed a doggy bag for leftovers! Kudos to the entire team, both front and back of house – thank you for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! I’ll try to return before Christmas, though living in Surrey means it's quite a trek."

The salad was, as always, beautiful. I tried something new, the beetroot burger, and it was quite unusual but delicious—I would definitely have it again. I can't recommend the Freak Shakes enough; they were absolutely fantastic!

The pub looked ok but the food is awful. Chicken and bacon undercooked and the fries tasted like yesterdays warmed up. It was disgusting. My husband had fish and it was also undercooked. The salad bar was under stocked and wasn’t topped up with fresh salad; the lettuce had turned brown,

Absolutely unbelievable. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet my two colleagues and I were turned away because they were expecting a large group to arrive. When we checked online, we noticed that there were available reservations for the entire afternoon and evening. It was ridiculous that three hungry patrons were refused service solely based on their appearance.

This Harvester is my favorite restaurant! It has an amazing salad bar with plenty of delicious vegan options, as well as a fantastic vegan burger on the menu (complete with vegan cheese) and various other vegan dishes. I frequently visit with my family, and it’s a perfect spot for larger gatherings since there's plenty of space for everyone. The service is quick, and they offer some great dessert choices too! It's also a fantastic option for those on a budget!

We had a pleasant dining experience with friendly service at this restaurant. However, we were unaware that we needed to register our car and ended up getting a parking ticket that was more expensive than our meal. We were disappointed that the staff did not inform us about this requirement and there were no signs indicating it. This is the main reason for giving a 3-star rating. We have requested the restaurant to review the fine and provided evidence that we were dining there.

The staff were friendly, and Laraine in particular was very attentive. The food was decent, but the restaurant itself could use some improvements. It was quite cold; we had to switch tables, and I noticed other customers eating while wearing their coats. The overall ambiance felt worn out; the restrooms had no toilet seats, several chairs had holes, the walls showed signs of damage, and the blinds and windows were coated in dust. It didn't feel clean or comfortable enough to truly relax. I left feeling very disappointed.

"this is a great place Thai restaurant that we unfortunately do not visit as much as we want. it has been an established part of my hometown hornchurch and serves fantastic Thai cuisine for many years. I am now glad to say that on Saturday we had a opportunity to visit and again eating was full of all the aromes they expect from this style of food. on Saturday we have walked on our fifteen minute walk to the heart of the city where they find the restaurant. we entered and received the usual friendly reception before we took our places. While we looked at the menu, we ordered a beautiful bottle of maison bergon 2020 a delightful French sauvignon blanc, full of citrus fruits, apple and lemongras aromas. unusual for us we decided to choose a set menu. we chose the Bangkok menu with an additional Thai salad. this started with the prawn crackers and sweet chili diving sauce. the starter was a plate consisting of chickensatai, spring rolls, huh on toast, chicken strips prawn tempura, which was all fresh, hot and full of fabulous thai aromen. we followed this with our additional plate of the yum nuar a fabulous spicy salate of cut grilled sirloin, swirl, early swirl, coriander, lemon juice, fish sauce chili flock, which I would definitely recommend. we now went to the main courses that would be with ingwer in black bohnensoße, chicken green curry, sweet with egg noodles. thai jasmin reis. the aromen and choir again complicated themselves perfectly and made every dish absolutely delicious. to finish they can have either tee, coffee or a few pots vanilla ice cream. this brought our charming Thai lunch to the end, and we hope to do again in the near future. I would highly recommend a visit here as eating is fantastic and there is always a good friendly service. also it is a long established part of our community and should be supported. many thanks for our fabulous lunch and look forward to seeing them all again soon."
