  “Absolutely appalling customer service from the manager today. I was there with my family, including my 10-year-old child, who is an extremely fussy eater. I simply asked if there was any way to get a few extra chicken nuggets beyond the four included with the children's meal. After initially being told no, I was then told I could buy another four for £7. I asked the bar staff if there was anything they could do. The manager came over and explained the situation. I didn't argue or raise my voice. I simply looked at my mum in disbelief at the £7 charge and then looked back at him. His immediate response was to ask me if I was trying to intimidate him. I genuinely couldn't believe what I'd just been accused of and asked him why he would say that. He confirmed that he "thought" I was trying to intimidate him. At no point had I threatened him, raised my voice or behaved aggressively. I was simply trying to work out what my child could eat. What made this worse was his attitude from the moment he approached. Instead of trying to resolve a very minor issue, he came across as though he was already prepared for an argument. He then refused to give me his name when I asked, instead telling me I should ask my niece, who apparently used to work there. By this point I was understandably angry and he asked me to leave, which I did. I'm not leaving this review because I couldn't get extra chicken nuggets. I'm leaving it because of the way a paying customer was spoken to and treated by someone in a management position. There is absolutely no excuse for accusing a customer of intimidation simply because you don't like their facial expression or reaction to what you've told them. Really disappointing and completely unnecessary.”

  “Had a good Meal and excellent, friendly, efficient service ( well done Elena, she was great) at the Staunton Arms. It has recently been refurbished and the menu updated. Much better than my previous experience a couple Of years ago and I hadn’t been back until today. Will go again now. Thankyou. 😊”

  “We were served by Kathy who was an excellent host. She was friendly and offered us good recommendations. The food was tasty, fresh, with speedy delivery. The salad bar was great as usual. We will definitely be visiting again soon.”

  “We had a great time at the Harvester. We turned up as a group of 8 without a reservation and they found us a table promptly that suited us perfectly. The service was very prompt and the food was great quality. The unlimited salad bar is always a hit with the kids, and the food was great quality. We were pleased with the size of the mini puds with hot drink too as often the puds can be only bite sized, but here was a good small portion. Our server was particularly friendly and attentive and we were overall very pleased with the experience. Would happily come again.”

  “Popped in for lunch, was lovely. Food cooked the perfection. The AC was great for me but my wife was a little cold, our waitress Jules went over and above bringing my wife a cardigan to wear. Will definitely be back.”

  “I was very disappointed with our visit to Harvester. The food was dry and overcooked. I had the chicken burger and asked for no additional cheese on top, said that I was happy to have the other bits on top - jalapeno sauce and jalapeno poppers - confirmed by the waitress. It arrived with nothing besides the basic chicken in the burger and as I was sorting out my children's meals and ensuring they were eating, I hadn't noticed by the time I was asked if my meal was ok. I didn't see our waitress again until I had to go to the bar and ask for our bill. I felt the food was extremely overpriced and the experience was disappointing. At least the salad is fairly consistent. But for one adult meal and one child meal supposedly costing £1 we spent almost £40 - the adult drink was so expensive. The kids menu is misleading and making you think you would get a drink included - I would be happy to pay, but it's misleading. And the brownie included in the meal deal was charged as extra (ordered at the same time), I am unsure this was because we had the deal or whether it was out through incorrectly. So overall very disappointed with the cost, quality and "child deal" that actually wasn't worth the dry chips and chicken nuggets.”

  “This has recently had an upgrade which has improved the look significantly. My son and I went there on Sunday and had a lovely meal. He had the ribs which were beautiful and fell off the bone, I had chicken skewers which was really tasty. Great service and helpful staff.”
