Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was divine...Had the mixed grill, with steak, ribs, BBQ chicken, sausage, and black pudding with sweet potato chips, onion rings."

Cons:

  • "Food wasn't great. I ordered the peri peri chicken skewer... Chicken looked like it had been boiled and put nowhere near a grill."
  • "All but the steak on the mixed grill was extremely tough and I found it impossible to eat."
  • "The chips on both our main courses were over cooked, the chicken skewer was fine, however the rack of ribs were again pretty tasteless."
  • "The food here is good, the chicken dishes are great, but we had a fish dish and it was definitely not fresh."
  • "Ordered Prawns in garlic. They arrived cold."
  • "Awful meal. My chicken was cheap nasty boiled thigh, couldn't stomach it."

Cons:

  • "Visited with my wife and daughter. We were shown to a table near a window. It was cold and draughty."

  • "Floor was dirty when we sat down table sticky salad bar needed quite a few replenishes."
  • "Dust on ledges where we sat."
  • "We just thought that it would benefit from a bit of a good scrub though - old food stuck to pepper pot, old ice cream stain on the wood panels, cobwebs on light fittings etc."
  • "Toilets were a let down, dirty marks on wall around sink area, urine on toilet seat and floor."
  • "Also toilets mingin, no loo rolls, what a horrible place will never go there again."

Value

Pros:

  • "STAFF EXCELLENT nice refurbished place great with 50% off food."
  • "If you download the app sometimes there are discounts on too, me and my partner went one time and got a 3 course meal for £18.47."
  • "Exceptional value lunch menu. £10.99 for 3 courses."
  • "The food is very reasonable considering the quality and drinks are very fairly priced."
  • "I went for lunch which was £8/9 for two course meal and access to a salad bar. Amazingly well priced, also refills on some drinks."
  • "Great value for money. You can see here my friend and I got four breakfast dishes each and only cost us £30!"
  • "Couldn't fault it for the price."

Cons:

  • "The cost of the meals was on the high side but the cost of the drinks was extortionate. £3.75 for a glass of orange juice and nearly £6 for a shandy."
  • "Because we are getting on a bit and we don't eat as much it would be great for us if there were a smaller portions menu with a smaller price."
  • "Also charged £4.80 for a 330ml brewdog can. Could get a 4 pack for that at Supermarket!"
  • "Kids menu disappointing because of not including a drink and dessert like a lot of places do which appeals to family's eating out..because of that I wouldn't return... food was nice but steak was not worth 18.99 ..."
  • "A little miffed with additional steak charges on the set menu and charge for pepper sauce in the tiniest pot...it made the set menu more Pricey for just a mid week tea out."
  • "Also kids meals don't include drinks and tiny cups of juice are £1.90 so it's not great value either."
  • "Love going to Harvester and go quite often so it was a little incentive being sent this email to entice me in today and then being told I don’t get the full kids meal for a £1.00 was very disappointing!"
