It was 9pm I was still working so decided to go to Harvester for dinner. We got seated at an awful table near the front door. After waiting 15 minutes, no one had come to take our drinks order. We decided to call them. The woman on the phone thought we were winding her up lol but soon realised we weren’t. A man came over and took our order, he was very pleasant. He directed us to the salad cart.
Yummmmmy I love salad and the fact that it unlimited is even better. On the way to the bar we noticed that there was a booth free, so we decided to sit there instead and we told the waiter.
After sitting down we got a new waitress called Pat, she was fantastic, she was sooo funny and really lovely. The nicest waitress I have had in a while. She kept checking on us to make sure we were ok and cracked lots of jokes.
The food arrived, I had a Jambalaya stack which was aubergine, courgettes, goats cheese in a tomato sauce, it was very nice.
We didn’t have a dessert, but the dessert menu was very good.
Overall the experience was a good one and I will definitely be going back.
P.S the Pepsi is free re-​fills yay and served at an extra 3degrees colder :)

Ever since I was younger I have been a big fan of this particular Harvester! I find that this Harvester is friendlier than others I have been to and I also like the way it has been decorated compared to other Harvester’s. The service isn’t always fantastic but you get what you pay for!
This has always been a good restaurant to go to — whether it’s lunch with the girl’s, dinner with the family or for a date. The meal’s are varied so there is something for everyone. The portions are always of a good size and great value for money — the food is always of a good standard and you get as many trips to the salad cart as you want for FREE!!!
This branch also has a seperate bar section with it’s own bar menu serving chips and baguettes etc. Drink prices are also good and they have a good selection of drinks. The bar also has a fruit machine and a games machine — really nice place for a quick drink and a spot of lunch!

As a family, we go to Harvester on regular basis, it is family friendly and inexpensive. This harvester on Gants hill was recently refurbished and the interior is quite pleasant. The other Harvesters that we have been to seem run down and downright dingy compared to this one. It is bright inside and pleasantly welcoming. They serve variety of food, their salad bar is great (free with every main course). They have a separate bar area, if you come for drinks only. The staff are really nice, they are really helpful especially if you have children and the customer service in excellent.
The only down side is that during busy periods, you have to wait a while (usually no more then 15 mins or so). They also heave seating outside but it’s by the road

Everyone knows and loves the Harvester. It makes a nice change from cooking you can just pop out and have a really reasonable meal. Particularly with the ever popular early bird meal in which you need to be seated by 6.30pm and you get 30% off. The food is never going to be outstanding, but you don’t expect that anyway. I love the free salad bar, it makes it different to other restaurants. Recently they have introduced some premium dishes to their evening meal where they also have introduced tealights and dimmed lights at a certain time to create a new sophisticated atmosphere. I must say that I really enjoyed their salmon kebabs on the new menu and really recommend this.
