Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the staff, with servers described as welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and one noting a waiter who was attentive without hovering. Birthday celebrations come up more than once, including a table that was joined by colleagues of the server. On the food, the original combo with ribs is called massive and fantastic, and others name the BBQ chicken burger, the Trio of Chicken, the Flatbread Lamb, and a fresh, well stocked salad bar. One reviewer calls the burger and chips good value, served quickly and outside in the sun. Reviewers also mention ample parking, with a car registration entered to keep it free, and spotless toilets. The criticisms are specific. One diner found the fish overcooked with batter that fell apart and chewy chips, while their partner's steak fared better. Another describes a tiny plate that left half the food on the table, and a third noted children running around the dining room. One reviewer who could not finish the chips with the combo left feeling thoroughly full.

“I had a very warm welcome as I arrived. Service was prompt and efficient. A huge choice of food, so something for everyone. Only slight criticism was the plate was tiny, but full of food so half of it ended up on the table 😂 There were a few kids legging it around the place which wasn’t ideal. I don’t mean kids just being kids I mean - literally running wild which is more of a parenting issue than Harvester issue.”

“Popped in for a quick bite as suddenly decided I was starving. Ordered a burger and chips with coleslaw on the side. And obviously decided to sit outside as we are having such lovely weather rite now. Food come out quick ans was very nice. Banging burger for your buck. Washed down with an ice cold shandy. Happy Sunday. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.”
