Harvester - Atherleigh

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😅.

I had a lovely meal nice hot food always enjoyed the salad bar always refreshing feel very relax completely comfortable 👌

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
