We had a calamari appetizer - not the same as you'd get in Spain, but pretty good with nice sauces. A spinach, avocado and bacon salad that was delicious, an okay prawn cocktail (something else they don't seem to get here, too much sauce and not enough shrimp), and excellent macaroni and cheese with mushrooms. Nice drink selection, including my favorite American bourbon, Buffalo Trace. I would definitely eat there again.

It has had a change of chef since I last ate there, so I hope they have managed to keep up the very high standards! This is a small and intimate venue, with a holding area that is perfect to enjoy an aperitif before stepping up a few stairs into the main restaurant to eat. This is by no means cheap and cheerful (although a set lunch at £9.95 for 2 courses is offered - a bargain). It is ideal for a very special meal and has a lovely atmosphere, excellent service and (when I was there last) divine food!

Came here for bottomless drag brunch hosted in the Long Room. The event didn't start on time, had…read more45 minutes of entertainment but was advertised as a 2-hour event, and didn't match the theme of what was advertised. However, it's a restaurant review, so I'll limit it to the drinks, food, and service. There were 3 choices of alcoholic drinks: prosecco, cosmopolitan, and sex on the beach - they were alright; I wish there were more options, like wine and beer, which are also easy to serve bottomless. The pizza was yum. From what I could tell, I think they nailed the toppings, but I set the crust aside. Lastly, the staff there were great. They did amazing serving a large event and keeping the drinks flowing. The restaurant regularly hosts these special events and you can find upcoming events on their website.

The pizzas here are huuuuuuuge! I didn't read the menu carefully enough, so ordered a half and half pizza, with two flavours...not realising that I would receive a pizza double the size(!) I only managed to eat four slices - but they have pizza boxes for me to take the rest home. Although I was too full to move, my friend then ordered a chocolate fondue for us to share. Somehow I had a separate stomach for chocolate so we managed to eat most of it. The chocolate was a bit too runny, but it tasted good. In summary it's a nice place to spend lots of time watching swans and munching pizza.

You make your toast from a selection of breads using a toaster right at your table (so you control how dark the toast is and it's perfectly hot and fresh) There are various options for breakfast depending on the time of day. As another reviewer says, pancakes are made by machine - this takes time, yes, but it's novel and probably makes things easier operationally. The pancakes are small but they're tasty and there are lots of sauces you can top them with. The cooked breakfast items are all good quality - a choice of two types of sausage, fried eggs, hash browns, mushrooms etc. There is an option to boil your own eggs but I haven't tried this. I would say the full cooked breakfast offers the best value. My main criticisms would be you can pay for unlimited hot or cold drinks, but to have both hot and cold you'd have to pay twice, and certain items are on show early in the morning but not available on the early bird price point, so the staff have to police what you go for which can feel uncomfortable. It's very busy on a weekend so if you prefer a quieter atmosphere I'd recommend going on a weekday if you can.

Well no one in their right mind would eat here based on the two previous reviews but our experience…read morehere last evening was completely different. The place was almost full so we asked when we could eat and the cheerful, polite and helpful assistant told us 'fifteen to twenty minutes'. we were shown to our cosy table for two seventeen minutes later. Busy means 'good' in the dining out business I guess. The 'mission' of the Harvester chain is presumably the provision of a good dining experience at the best possible price for the customer. This was certainly achieved here yesterday by, I guess, more than a hundred diners. We tucked into our fresh, crunchy salad (eat as much as you want, no charge for this) and before we had quite finished that our 'Earlybird' fish and chips, with trimmings, arrived. I had the smaller size option of this meal but the fish was still 8" long. Total cost of our meal for two with a drink was under £14. Be fair ! The decor and ambiance were cosy, warm and friendly Car parking is adjacent and free. Easy disabled access with ramps. Not only was a complete list of ingredients available for all food items but there is a calorie count published for every meal in the menu. Where else would you find that ? There appears to have been a staff or management problem in this Harvester about a year ago but following some changes everything is now very professional and good. Harvester are apparently well on top of staffing issues. A young boy on the next table to us accidently knocked his dinner off the table. Hardly before it hit the floor the Assistant Manager was on hand saying 'no problem I will get you another dinner, no charge mum', and so she did within five minutes. Impressive and kind. Provided you are prepared to wait a few minutes for a table on a busy evening you can confidently expect to have a good dining experience at little more than a 'take away' price at this Harvester.
