Customer Review Summary
Many diners praise the grilled chicken and poached egg at breakfast, and several describe staff bringing out a pre-bought birthday cake to mark occasions, with one server noted for handling customisations for a picky eater. One longtime visitor, however, reports the salad bar's tomatoes were stale with no juicy centres, and found the fish and chips tasteless and oily, leaving the diner unwell, alongside a decline in staff warmth.

“We have been here so many times over the duration of our relationship and marriage. Haven't been for around 18 months. And after coming for our anniversary dinner it'll be the last time. The standard of service and food has fell of a cliff. Front of house was ok. Shown our table. They made an effort prior to us arriving in finding out what we needed as I had mentioned disability needs but if the staff can get away with getting you to order on the app they will. The salad bar wasn't amazing. Sauces not being checked or replenished. The tomatoes were awful. Both trays were just outer shells mainly. No juicy centres left on them. I asked for them tk be changed and the next batch were just as bad and they tasted off. The meals weren't too bad for the children the chicken pieces were chicken bre a st so that was good. The adults fish and chips was tasteless very oily and made the person eating it fel unwell so couldn't eat the whole meal. This restaurant used to have a warm welcoming environment. The staff used to enjoy spending time to talk to us and laugh and now they mope around and avoid contact with you. We weren't asked how our meals were as you usually get when you are at a restaurant. Such a shame that this is going to be our last visit as the memories of wonderful meals and wonderful staff have well and truly been tainted by this experience.”

“Had an excellent breakfast 🍳 💯 ! The food was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked, the poached egg was spot on, and the flavours all worked really well together. Everything …”

“What can I say, we've just got back from an absolutely lovely experience at Harvester Elms Coventry. Enroute home from a long but super day and decided to grab some food. We were greated by lovely front of house staff who showed us to our cool air-conditioned table. Staff were quick to friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Food was amazing and one of the best Harvester restaurants we've been to. This Harvester is a set in a former eye hospital, has a grand staircase and modern decor. Highly recommend. Thanks Harvester.”
