Amazing experience! Great food, topped with impeccable service. We have been before and have never been so impressed by such helpful, patient and overall, such pleasant service. Our waitress was a young girl, Izzy. Highly, highly recommended- such a lovely young lady.

Tasha our server was so polite, friendly and efficient. We had a wonderful lunch. The food was very delicious and well cooked. We had the gammon upgrade dish... and swapping chips for a jacket potato was not a problem either. The chefs Danny and Lucy certainly know how to cook the gammon and the tomatoes perfectly. I could not fault a thing. The salad bar was well stocked and clean. The main restaurant was kept very clean and the toilets were spotless. I will definitely return here soon. Thank you all for making a perfect lunchtime experience.

A bit loud in the restaurant, the food was great with some new additions to the salad bar and some great options on the menu. Service was awesome, there were some big tables in and out waiter Aaron got us our food quickly, got us a box for takeaway and got us the bill super quick as we were in a big rush after food! Awesome service from Aaron and felt well looked after, really going the extra mile.

What a LOVELY welcome!! From the minute you walk through the door you have such friendly staff wanting to really make your time in there perfect. A lovely lady called Alaina served us and what we really liked was the way she gave her time to actually chat to us too. She asked how we were and explained the menu and salad bar. The staff certainly create the atmosphere there and they are so attentive. We WILL be back! Thank you everyone, delicious food.

We come here for breakfast atleast once a month, usually more. We love it. The breakfast is consistently good, they’ve got the good sausages not the crappy ones. Unlimited coffee is such good value. But the staff are also really lovely. Today we had Alaina serving us and she was just so chatty and friendly and helpful. We usually have Courtney though, and she is so lovely that when she’s not here we feel a bit sad! All the staff are really lovely, the whole place has a homely and welcome atmosphere. We love it!!

We booked a table for a get together with family today, there were 9 of us. We arrived at 15:15 for our 15:30 booking and we were seated and the member of staff was brilliant. The staff member continued with us right through to ordering our food. We were then given salad dishes for salad by a second member of staff, that is when it fell apart. We waited around 30 minutes for our starters to be brought out. Then once we had finished them we sat waiting for our mains for around 40 minutes, the mains were brought out and put on the table alongside the empty/dirty starters plates which were left on the table; these stayed there for the remainder of the meal. My husband and I are vegetarian and ordered from the festive menu Mushroom Galette which is marked up as VE, we thought this would be a safe option. When the meal arrived it came with a Yorkshire pudding, a stuffing ball and pig in blanket. We asked the attendant if it was a vegan and she went to ask, when she came back she said we hadn't specified we were vegetarian!!! It said it was vegan why did we need to specify? As we were with family we let this go, but just to say the main did not advertise a Yorkshire pudding anyway but it did say there we would get a paprika and tomato sauce which we didn't get... Once the mains were finished we sat and waited but after almost an hour no one came, my husband went and asked for desert menus and they were brought but not the festive menus which we were eating from. We had to go back and have them changed. We ordered our desserts which were brought within about 15 minutes. Can I just say here we still had dirty dishes from our staters and now mains on the table. We then wanted to order coffee but we were left for a further 30 minutes so my husband went and asked for the bill from the bar. As no one came to take our payment we once again went to the bar and paid. This was the worst experience of our lives at a time when we wanted to celebrate with our family. Absolutely diabolical, we spent £170 and would have spent more had we have been serviced better. We will never come back again after using your restaurant for years. Please see pictures of the menu which states the order we made was vegan even though your chefs added meat to it because we didn't specify and the piles of dirty plates on the table whilst we were being served other courses

Wanted to say a big thank you to The Harvester. Especially, Izzy our server. I brought a group of volunteers for Christmas Breakfast. This was our 3rd visit together and you didn't fail to deliver. I was assured that everyone in my party was satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed their breakfast. Thank you.

Not the best experience. Ordered a chicken skewer, 2 sides of wings, chips and onion rings and two drinks. Took an hour to arrive. The people on the table opposite gave up and left crossly having only had the salad bar. That upset the staff who were then stomping round upset. Finally food arrived and my skewer was burnt and the chicken so dry it was barely edible, and I got chips instead of the sweet potato fries I ordered, but I was so hungry I ate it anyway lol! Didn't have the heart to complain as the server looked like she was going to cry!! BBQ wings were nice to be fair. Gobsmacked that this meal set me back £48!! Lesson learned and won't be making another visit😅.

Gorgeous food and very well presented it was lovely. Shame can not say the same about the lazy 3 ladies who worked front of house tonight, they were the least attentive and stood around most of the 2 hours we were there chatting to each other behind the bar. Not noticing anything, empty salad bar, empty bread baskets, empty sauce jars. Tables not cleared or cleaned. We had to shout them over for everything, from ordering drinks, food and the bill. SHOCKING SERVICE.

The food, (a traditional Christmas turkey dinner), was very tasty, the staff were pleasant and attentive, and the ambience was calm and comfortable. If I really had to find fault then it would be regarding the strange omission of my chosen meal from the online ordering section of the app. Neither I nor my waitress, (Keeley, I believe), could find a way to order the Christmas meal through the Android app, which to me does seem to be a bit strange. I do however have to say that throughout my visit Keeley presented herself in a professional and courteous manner.

Overall it's alright. Nothing to write home about. Mainly 3 stars as it seems recent menu change and nothing really for myself (vegan) to eat. Managed though and the food was nice. Went midweek, so nice and quiet really. If you want to go out for a midweek meal, that's not too expensive, you will be fine here and even better if you're not vegan as the menu is large.

The atmosphere was made the better with the company I was with but I must say that the service delivered by the staff at the venue was excellent. We were on a works meal and this location is ideal because it's local for all of us. We found the prices of the food to be good at £17.95 for a starter and a main and in my case I went doulble for a small addition and it was worth it.

On entering, the seating area to the right, every table had empty glasses that needed collecting. There was no staff to be seen behind the bar, I had to walk towards the dining area to disturb 3 members of staff having a conversation, to ask them for service at the bar. The first member of staff came over to the bar to serve me but then politely informed me that she was underage so couldn't serve me. Another member of staff came to serve me and was very polite and welcoming.

We visited Harvester for the very first time as a result of receiving a 50% discount on mains via the Blue Light Card. We were pleasantly met upon entering and showed to a table. I was going to use the Harvester app to order. However, the waitress said it wasn't yet up and running, so she took our order. We took up the offer of the free salad bar and it was very good. Pasta, coleslaws, tomatoes, beetroot, etc. It was very fresh and tasty. We ordered the Chicken, Bacon & Waffle from the ' Something Different' menu. The chicken (2 pieces) was delicious. The chips tasted just like the frozen chips we have at home. The bacon (3 rashers) and waffle were ok. The Harvester was very clean, good service and the food was OK. If you use the free salad bar, I think it's value for money. Not so much if I had to pay the full price for just the mains.

The food was absolutely lovely when we went, however service was below mid. We were taken to a table that still had crumbs and stains all over it and when we asked the waitress to clean it, she only cleaned half of it. Our party was a large group and so I asked the waitress to re-read our order to us to make sure it was all there. Despite doing that, the wine she brought over was not a rose - it seemed she had no knowledge of the menu when taking our order. We waited a while for our salad bowls because our waitress forgot and when she did bring them over, she brought us dirty ones which we had to ask to be replaced. Our booking was for 8pm, however there wasn't much left in the salad bar and so we asked a member of staff whether they were going to restock it, to which one staff member cheekily replied 'well you did come quite late didn't you'. 8pm on a Saturday is quite a busy time for restaurants (as I have worked in hospitality myself) and so if an 8pm booking is classed as 'late' to your organisation, then don't advertise your kitchen is open till 10pm online. We do not appreciate your staff insinuating it's our problem the salad bar is half empty. Again we waited ages (considering the restaurant wasn't rammed) for the small little things like butter, bread roles etc to be given to us when asking the staff for help. We also heard our waitress complaining to other staff members about wanting to go home because she couldn't be bothered to work and caught her rolling her eyes at our table when doing check backs and restocking our cutlery. Again the food was really lovely but the service made our visit extremely unpleasant as it seemed like the staff didn't want to be there. We have been to the Harvester before and service has never been as shocking as this. The gent from our table that paid had left a £10 tip, however we would like this to go to the kitchen solely please.

Food was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Just that one downside was - partially it was our fault - that the discount wasn't applied properly (although the code was scanned) and we noticed it only after we were back home and started comparing the price we paid and what we had... Never mind, we will visit again (and make sure the right price is billed and paid!).

This was our first visit after the recent refurbishment. We booked our table online and arrived early and was quickly shown to our table. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly and polite. They were training new staff and we've got to learn sometimes. The young lady processed our order but mistakenly put mine to come out with the starter's so they offered to keep it warm and/or make it from scratch but I just said keep it warm and bring it out with the others. They brought it out with the other mains but it was Lukewarm along with my wife's. My wife asked for them to remove tomatoes off of her dirty bird burger which they did and they also took it off mine even though I wanted it on mine! The lads meal was hot except they burnt the bacon charcoal black and he couldn't eat it like that so he was disappointed with it. The point of this is hopefully the quality control and communication with customers is improved upon for our next visit. :)

We arrived on time for our table and we was shown straight to our table. We was a table of 12, 6 adults and 6 children. On arrival we was informed it was table service and someone would be along shortly to take our order. Someone came to take our order about 20 past 5. Our drinks arrived 10 minutes later and we then waited for our order. A few in the party ordered starters, these arrived about 6:15pm. Once eaten the plates were cleared away and we continued to wait for meals. At 6:35pm we asked when our food would be arriving as the children where hungry and we were told there was another big table in front of us then ours would be plated. Our food was finally served at 6:55pm. This is an extremely long time to wait for food and we had young children with us. When the food arrived, one order was slightly wrong, another chicken meal was charcoal on one side, my daughter had a child's/junior meal and it came with about 6 chips on it, so I ended uo sharing some of mine with her. We didn't stay for dessert because it was now 7:30pm and the children had enough. The staff were lovely and had great customer service.

We’ve been going harvester for a few years now, really enjoy the food but the experience a few times has been poor. We visited the Leigh harvester yesterday, we had to ask the salad area to be refilled. It was basically empty, a few containers were brought out shortly after but it was far from full. A lot of the sauces and breads were near enough empty too. The food took a long time to arrive, we had to ask where it was. We enjoyed the food when it did come and the servers were pleasant enough. I don’t think we’ll be coming again as harvester seems to have gone down hill. We used to go the media city, Warrington and Leigh harvester so it’s a shame really. Not specific to the Leigh harvester but can the tip option be removed off the card machine? It makes paying the bill an awkward process especially when you’re being watched.

The Mediterranean vegetable tart was awful. Pastry overcooked and the vegetables tasted like they had come out of a frozen packet with a lot of rosemary then in to cover the taste. Shocking. Lots of the salad empty. No butter only marg. no labels on the sauces. Would definitely never go back. Half the restaurant closed with boxes of Christmas decorations. Tired decor. Had to sit on Seats with caution tape all over them.

Had to po k her up at 2, stepped in at 12;15, left at 1;30 only having a starter, some limp salad snd a drink, at this time we were still 3rd in lone dor our main! Their excuse was, we had a starter? Nachos and a garlic bread ?, needless to say we had to leave, they still expected me to pay! As if! Daughter's hungry and I'm running late! That and my time with mu daughter was ruined.... 1 hour 15vmins is ample time to be served, ridiculous service for mediocre food.

This particular harvester looked a little dated from the outside, inside however it was nice and clean. The waiting on staff were excellent explaining the choices on the menu and when I asked them questions if they didn't know the answers they would find out. I chose jacket potato with grilled chicken breast and veg It was from the lunchtime menu I also had a garlic bread starter and a cup of tea. The price was £13.99 from the lunchtime menu which was great value. The salad bar was well stocked and free with my meal which was lovely. The toilets were lovely and clean and the whole WC was spacious and smelt fresh. My overall feeling about this place screamed out "Don't judge a book by the cover" I would definitely go again when I'm in the area. Recommended!

First impressions of the front of pub from the outside were very shoddy and was in desperate need for TLC even just a lick of paint would improve the outside massively after entering the pub there was barely anyone in but was taken to a 8 seater table for myself and my wife and one of the seats had a massive rip down the seats which shows either the pub managent don't care or the company are not bothered either. We went for a nice meal in a nice pub but ended up leaving without purchasing anything.

Perfect for tea time before setting off home. Unfortunately the gift card with £20 credit expired.... does this mean harvester are taking people's money? Surely a purchased gift card would have no expiry as its the purchaser's money that bought it. In these times of tight budgets, a gift card of this nature is a luxury.

Visited today for some lunch , was seated every quickly by a lovely gentleman. Starters were delicious and the mains were just the same. Xsara was amazing, polite and very attentive made sure we had everything we needed and just a lovely waitress in general. Thanks for a lovely visit , definitely be visiting in the near future.

Booked a table for lunch last minute, there was no problem fitting my party in. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who showed us to our table. We didn't have to wait too long for our drink and food order to be taken and the food arrived quickly. The salad bar was fully stocked, the food we requested was all available and drinks were brought quickly. Food was really nice and we also ordered dessert. Would definitely recommend visiting.

Been here today with a friend and My mum. Food was really nice! Tasha was exceptional. A real role model of what customer service should be. She was happy and very polite and acted as though she couldn't do enough for us. Was lovely to see a nice happy face and a very helpful girl. Made our trip even more pleasant. Thank you Tasha x

A very pleasant evening ahead of the rugby. The set menu options were varied and enjoyable. And food came out in good time, although there was a slightly longer weight than I would’ve liked between starters, main course. Keeley was attentive and friendly and used my Blue Light Card to make sure I got the best discount on the meal

Come here quit often Withy my family when visiting. Love the unlimited salad option with all the condiments. However more recently they don’t have full selection and would like more variety. Great choice of food and menus spoilt for choice. Ordered from the festive menu but unfortunately the vegan option was not available which was really disappointing. Food was generally good. They were very accommodating giving us time to arrange ours as and take this family photograph. I ordered an expression martini which tasted awful and when I checked it was correct but a pre made one, definitely don’t recommend. They did replace it with an alternative. The other complaint I have was that it was freezing and half of us had to sit in our coats and took away from the experience. Would have been 4 star but this took it to 3 The profiterole dessert was absolutely delicious ?

Harvester is always a go to if we are ever unsure what to get. From breakfast, dinner or tea they always have a great selection. The salad bar is always stocked full of great items. The bottomless soft drink station is always good and great for the kids even if they do mix all the different flavours together.

We were sat for slightly longer than we expected before our drinks order was taken due to it being a Monday and not overly busy but our waitress Elle or Ella sorry I can't remember 100% was incredible, she was attentive and had a great personality and had a giggle and was very accommodating when it came to our needs.

We haven't been to this Harvester for at least 5 years and the previous experience was not good, However after a check of the reviews, all good, we booked and the four of us went for lunch. The food and service is superb, the salad bar was very good and every one loved their meals The server Jess was superb, great service with a smile, happy to talk through the menu when a choice wasn't available. Will definitely be back

It good place and you can help yourself to salad and they do refill soft drinks and friendly Staff. The chicken was a bit dry and the gravy was a bit watery and ribs was good but not as much taste but corn the cob was delicious.

Been here a number of times and always enjoyed it nice food,nice atmosphere but today disappointed us. Staff were lovely, helpful but short staffed left us waiting and went looking for staff and heard other customers say where are the staff. I hope this improves. I'm sure it will.

Nice place for lunch, very good deal with set menu (2 or 3 courses). We chose the set menu and there were enough options to choose from, also a few vegetarian dishes. A nice bonus was a free salad bar. Food was tasty and arrived quite quickly. Our waitress was very nice. I also really liked the decorations, felt very cosy and comfortable. Outside there's a big parking lot. I can recommend this place for a quick lunch at a good price.

It's been a while since I visited The Harvester as I was really put off the last time. I have to say that this time it was much improved... The food was delicious, the server was fabulous, (thank you Jess) and the environment was very pleasant. The toilets were very clean too, a transformation from my visits previously, when I had repeatedly complained about them not being clean. I will definitely be coming back, especially since there is a choice of vegan options on the menu and the salad bar was very good. ?

We came for breakfast with 3 children. The kids loved their pancakes and they let us exchange chocolate for syrup on one. We ordered the steak and hash browns, which was good but the steak a little tough in parts. The server Elle, was lovely and friendly and service was quick. Overall we had a nice brunch!

Food was lovely 2 of the extra large mix grills, for big eaters very tasty but they struggled. Turf, surf and bird decent size portion but chicken was a bit too spicy for me. Salad bar was served to you but as always nice and fresh. Drinks 2 double gin and tonics and a pint of carling just over £18.00. Lovely meal, staff very helpful, but restaurant was cold. Would go back but taking a jacket next time.

Lovely place, staff are so helpful, nothing too much trouble, we'll done, my granddaughter has coeliac disease, and they were brilliant in telling us what she could have, (instead of jacket potato and chicken) food is cooked separately so no cross contamination., she was over the moon she could have something different, food is lovely ???

Terrible food but excellent staff. Mixed grill was 22£ and it was shockingly bad. Asked for steak well done and it was tht black it could have been served in urn. Kids ice cream was warm milk. Also short staffed and the place was filthy.

It has been years since my wife & I last visited Harvester, but this time will be certainly be much much sooner to be back again. Like the title says expected nothing but came away very pleased, the service was excellent, very friendly and helpful staff, always smiling and very polite. The meal was very fresh and cooked excellently, and for the pricing very good. 3 course meal for £12 you can't fault that at all. We really couldn't fault anything. If Harvester could do anything to improve it would be maybe to redecorate the restaurant looks a little worn, but nevertheless the staff and meal was a lot more than expected and would fully recommend.

What a lovely meal we had. My daughter and I had the 2 course lunch. We had the same starters but different mains. It was all cooked beautifully and hot when it arrived. The salad bar was well stocked and staff who served it were lovely. All the staff were great. Very welcoming as we haven't been for a long time. Service excellent. Thanks for a lovely time.

Good food , good service, but they've done away with the "buffet style" help yourself salad bar, I'm sure I won't be the only person feeding back negatively on this point. That said ,it's still a good place to eat.

revisited since the new lift of rules has been applied but the Harvester is still operating a well managed and safe business in line with restrictions. Food as always was really good and the service was excellent.

First visit in a long time this evening! And it was great! I had the rack of ribs (as always!) this time with spicy fries which I’d never tried before! I really enjoyed the meal. All the staff were friendly but a special mention to ‘Annabelle’ who looked after myself and my friends at our table. Her service was friendly and efficient which certainly added positively to the visit. Will certainly return.

Not happy today. As regular customers we do appreciate these difficult times for everyone. But the food was not good. The burgers were really dry as were the buns. We were given a discount but that did not make up for the disappointment on this occasion

I came into the Harvester with my daughter & grandson on Thursday 3rd June 2021. The staff are fabulous but my 2 star rating is on account of one of the worst ever steaks I have ever had. It was gristly, I took it home for my dogs & they even had problems chewing it. Never again will I allow my daughter to waste nearly £14.00 on an inedible piece of meat.

Staff were friendly but service was slow, our plates from our starters were left on our table after our mains had been brought out, no check in to see if everything was OK or to see if we wanted anything else to drink etc. Great evening offer with 3 courses for around £16 which includes great options. I had nachos to start which were delicious, my partner had garlic mushrooms which he also enjoyed. For main I had BBQ chicken stack, this was OK, could have done with more sauce and the chicken to be slightly less charred. My partners steak was overcooked which meant it lost flavour and was quite dry. Brownie was bitter but the ice cream was nice. Partner enjoyed the blackcurrant mousse For the price you can't really grumble, I would return again but not in a rush.

We took advantage of the 2 course lunch deal for £9.99 ( 3 for £11.99). There was plenty of choice to choose from and the food was fresh, hot and very tasty. Great service too.

Waited 20 minutes to get a drink after finding a server. Spent one hour before food arrived and the second course arrived whilst still eating the first course. The place as no heating it’s freezing and I felt sorry for the staff having to work in those conditions. Had to ask for cutlery,, salt etc . The bill we where overcharged by £20 , which was rectified. The food was fine. Not blaming the staff .. they where very understaffed working in unacceptable conditions. But will not be going again .
