Harvester in Chelmsford

Excellent meal very gd service by dee

We popped here for lunch before soft play. We had a LOVELY server named Joely who made our visit so relaxed and very special as it was our daughter’s birthday. She looked after us so well, was kind and considerate and really helped us celebrate. A huge thank you! 🤩

Pasty was our server this evening and she was amazing! Fun, attentive and funny service! Poppy who delivered our drinks was very polite and courteous. food was great thanks Bob and Alan.

Food and atmosphere were really good. Staff were efficient and made us feel really comfortable and welcome

Food was nice. Waitress/assistant manager was really lovely. Bad points: We had our booking at 6.30 and we didn't sit down until 6.45 and because of the delay we were contemplating eating somewhere else. Car parking doesn't really handle the capacity for the restaurant. Where the bar is situated was quite small, as there was tables right there, more people were coming in and they had to stand around people eating.

Always very friendly staff here and a nice venue too. Always a hit with the kids so will be returning.

Friendly greeting, efficient friendly service, well stocked salad bar, sauces and rolls etc, well presented hot tasty food

Had a lovely meal,service was great by Michaela would recommend you come for a meal here

Amy is excellent! Fantastic service made us feel very welcome and looked after . Thank you !

Had a very enjoyable lunch here today with 5 friends. The food was very good, and the service was amazing. Good prices and we used a discount code. Very nice experience, which we all hope to do again, soon.

Andy helped us out and was great. Really friendly guy without being OTT. Really nice easy experience. Food was decent enough and you know what you're getting here. Salad bar always a win 🏆

Nice new menu. Clean and family friendly restaurant

Popped in during the week for some early dinner with my mum. Kelly who served us was so polite, friendly and lovely. The food came so quickly and was delicious so credit to the chef also. Great value for money too!

Very poor service from Kim the food was really poor from the starter to the main and we did complain,on the other hand the restaurant was clean and the parking was okay but I will definitely not be returning.

Faye is an absolutely great server. Always serving with a smile and goes the extra mile. An absolute credit to the team xx

Had a lovely meal for my daughters birthday. Server Patsy .. (celine deon) was fantastic and made my daughters birthday. So Special .. Thank you Patsy is a real asset to your restaurant ..

Was amazing birthday meal came for my 21st and patsy (aka Whitney Houston) served us she was so lovely and pretty and helpful and attentive x she brought lots of hot honey which made my 21st unreal and also brought a little bit of ice cream and a candle which made me feel so happy 😁😁😁 will definitely be back for more yummy!!!

Great selection of breakfast items, good service and tasty food. Service was quick and friendly, tea & coffee was unlimited.

Our server was chris/andy the service was excellent Chef was sam breakfast was outstanding only problem we had was the tomatoes was a bit soggy

Excellent service by Kim and Nova. Good atmosphere. Enjoyed the breakfast.

Excellent food from Chef Bob and service by Andy - thankyou

We came here and sat here with 3 dogs in the garden had some really lovely food and they was great at responding with questions about allergies. The dogs also enjoyed their food that they had too.

Came here for breakfast the service and food was really good. Thank you Chris and Sam

Server today was Chris and Joley, fabulous breakfast and excellent service 👌

Great food and friendly waitress.

Chris is just fabulous. We come every Monday just to be served by Chris who is just amazing

Patsy was really lovely and helpful

More variety on the salad cart would be good but what was there was fresh and the main meals were good. Service was excellent.

Chelmsford Harvester today, Chris was wonderful fantastic service Lovely food breakfast was amazing with amazing service.

It was busy when we got there and was disappointed to dowcovwr that you couldn’t mix and match on the skewers anymore (used to be able to add a different one ie chicken and hallomi together) but that’s just little preference. Our server Aymon (sorry if spelt wrong) spent the time to ensure our experience felt personal and special as three out the five of us were celebrating our birthdays (1 days between them all!) and took the time to make sure my 9 year old felt special as he filled up her new birthday present (Stanley cup) with water for her so she could have it during her meal (alongside her bottle of purchased coke of course!) Small talk about football and our birthdays made us feel special. I personally have worked in hospitality and I saw how he spoke to other members of staff and diners and felt it important to take the time to ensure he was recognised. The only reason I haven’t mentioned anyone else is because we didn’t need to speak to anyone else as our table was served attentively. Thank you.

Great food, service. Good value for money.

Met a friend here for breakfast, I had the vegetarian sausage bap with hash browns & a cappuccino. No mocha option on the menu so that was disappointing! Food was very nice & it was busy in there .

Fab service by Chris and Joley and good food.

Can't fault it service was quick food hot and good

Good food,friendly staff. Prices seem to be rising here, but till good value look at app for offers would be my advice

I had the 1983 combo, (no idea what the relevance of the 1983 is). It cost £19.99 and it was awful, stupid little pot of fries which was half empty, 4 ribs with hardly any meat on, what little flavour they had wasn't like any ribs I've ever tasted before and NOT in a good way. The piece of chicken was bland at best and quite what the other little square items on my plate were, I have no idea, sweet and tasteless. I haven't been to a Harvester in a very long time and I doubt I'll ever go back to one. A thoroughly disappointing meal, save your money and get a takeaway from anywhere !

Great service from Chris, Sam and Paula.

Had breakfast today and Chris, jolly & kim very good service and chef sam & Paula well cooked thankyou all

Came In For Breakfast For My Wife's Birthday, We Were Hesitant On Coming Due To Having Walked Out Many Times Due To Be Ignored By Previous Staff, The New Team Chris, Kim And The Other Amazing Humans Here, Perfect Visit, Lovely Food And Even Better Service Thank You Ladies We'll Be Back Soon!!

+ Food was lovely, staff polite and helpful, restaurant was clean. - staff confused about discounts and how to process them. Waited long time to pay.

I ordered the single chicken burger and I couldn’t bite into it without the skin from the chicken breast coming along with it, really chewy and not nice to bite into! I thought it was the bacon fat that was stringy but it was the chicken skin. The chicken itself tasted cheap and was not enjoyable at all. However, my sister had the chicken skewers and said it was really good. The chips weren’t the best either. But our waitress was really lovely and couldn’t fault her. Shame about the food tho!

Joely, our waitress was excellent, very friendly, efficient, understanding of my daughter's needs (autism and anxiety) and was not phased by her undecisivise at all.

We had a great meal here and the service e was brilliant. Excellent value for money.

Great food great service had a great time thank you to all the staff even on a really busy night we were looked after really well

Chris served us. They were lovely, attentive and kept us informed with wait times and gave us all the coffee we needed! Food was lovely and went down a treat.

lovely meal, hot and fresh, toilets clean and place was overall nice server Faye was good and gave just the right amount of service.

This is a large and welcoming restaurant, which was spotlessly clean and came with notably friendly, chatty service. It’s just a shame that the food, in this case 2 of the main course vegetarian dishes, was pretty poor. The pasta shells and what was supposed to be a tart but resembled more of a floppy, greasy pizza were pretty much indistinguishable and not in a good way. We enjoyed the salad bar (but suggest you steer well clear of the small dry rolls). If the food was as good as the building and the staff it would merit a much higher score.

Haven't been here in ages! Gotta get that salad! £7 for a bottomless salad. 😀

Good customer service and very helpful. Good food . Nice harvester in Chelmsford 👍

Faye looked after us brilliantly - great service and good advice. Parking appeared to be a bit tight, but that's only because the restaurant is so popular, and with good reason! Good portions, cooked as requested. Complimentary salads and sauces, including my favourite - a hot Naga Chilli. Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this Harvester. Would definitely return on our next visit to the UK.

My wife and I stopped off for an English breakfast, it was excellent. The food was cooked really nice. The waitress (Chris) was very pleasant, attentive and efficient. Good value for money. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Great food great service Faye was brilliant Tonight

We had a lovely meal with friends, and the staff really looked after us. 👍👍

Great food as usual Chris and joley were very friendly and attentive

Very nice place to come for a meal staff are very friendly and attentive the service is excellent good quality meal.

Really good service by Kim and very nice food and atmosphere. Has to loose ONE star due to high price of food per person unfortunately.

We went for a family meal for 14 people which included 5 children. We had Andy as our server and he was ace with my boy who has autism, and very good with all the children throughout the evening. He allowed them time to think and had patience for them to order their own food. In addition, he looked after all the adult members, ensuring all food was correct and drinks were kept topped up. Thank you for a lovely evening of carnage with our lot 😀

We have been to this harvester on a few occasions. Andy has been our server everytime. Andy was very polite and was interested in our day and spoke to the children about their football interest which I thought was nice. The food has been very good and there's always been a great selection at the salad bar. We travel from Romford to go to this harvester

Patsy was a lovely waitress and the chef's bob and sam cooked a great meal 10/10

Had a really nice family breakfast with Kim greeting us at the door and Chris our server. Made sure we had everything we needed and allowed us to order a couple bits off the menu. Bob and Sam did a great job in the kitchen. All round great experience.

Andy was a great waiter. Really funny, attentive waiter and fab with our kids. Highly recommend. Food was delicious.

Great service from Chris and Joley. The food was spot on. I can highly recommend the breakfast. Kids loved the pancakes with maple syrup. We'll be back.

Great service from Chris. Food was delicious. Group of 6 of us. Paced service which is always nice. Will deffo come again Thank you very much

Patsy (aka Whitney) made our day 😇

Nice, nice lunch very enjoyable

We had to wait a fair while for our food to arrive. I don't think we are the impatient type but we did ask how much longer it may be. I had a mixed grill. All of it was good except for my steak portion of the mixed grill, it was very small, all fat and gristle.. Even the steak knife didn't cut it. As I said, everything else was fine and the woman serving us was very good.

Came in this evening, girl on the front till said sorry fully booked. Then went outside about 15 empty tables. Comeback to query it she was now saying the kitchen is under so much pressure it's an hour wait for food ... don't like being lied to.

Nice breakfast selection, friendly, helpful staff

Service from Kelly was very good and food cooked by Sam was great. This Harvester is definitely one of the better ones in my opinion

Food was lovely & salad was fresh

Andy is a brilliant waiter and the food was brilliant. Thanks a million

Stopped for drink may return for meal next time in area

Fantastic food and even a blackberry bush in the garden.

Visited on Friday 26th and had a great meal,22 of us and no complaints..Our server Sharon was great and helped make our night go smoothly..She coped with the noise etc with a smile amd thanks to the Chef Aniket...

One the best food and sericves Harvester. I have visted.

Quiet , beautiful old style restaurant

A very warmly welcome and so happy with out meals. Love coming here.

Service was good, restaurant was quite empty for a Saturday afternoon but I preferred it like that. I had the quater chicken and ribs combo but the chicken was a bit dry. Otherwise all was good, clean, tidy an polite staff.

We came here for dinner in a small group tonight. Kelly our server was fab, she was so professional and friendly and she was very patient with all the extra items we removed from our dishes lol. The chef Aniker provided great food too! Thank you Harvester.

Server Kelly is absolutely amazing. Really polite, bubbly and friendly. Really good with the allergies. Accommodating requests and bringing the atmosphere and experience up. Really great food, our chef was Aniker. Brilliant food, brilliant service. Amazing staff.

Our server Kelly was so lovely and amazing with accommodating me being gluten free. Food was great and a lovely atmosphere

Decent steak and chips. Gluten free requirement and glad chips were not done in the same fryer as onion rings. Menu was not too bad to understand for allergens. Great service. Highly recommended.

We had Kelly as our waitress and she was fantastic! Very friendly and polite even when the restaurant was busy. It was service with a smile that left us leaving with full bellies and happy faces too!

Food wasn't that great service was terrible would not eat here again

Me and friends been here's The food was excellent. Had unlimited mix quill. The biggest mix Quill filled me up. Then end up few to take home for tea. Love coming again 3rd time in months come on Tuesday

lovely place, plenty of food, salad was delish, haven’t been here in a while defo coming back. lexi was a lovely server, and bob is an og for that banging meal. overall the place is goated (with the sauce) xoxo

Had a great experience today, the service and food was top knoch, will be returning

Enjoyed breakfast here with my husband, we were served by Chris (who I believe has been here for a number of years, as whenever I come for breakfast either with my husband or with friends she is always working.) She is alway polite and very in the ball, she asked if our table was ok, and recognised coffee maybe running low or did we need brown sauce on the table. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that although the chefs could cook fried and poached eggs there was no scrambled egg available today. I have only recently started to eat an egg and the only way I do is scrambled.

Excellent breakfast cooked by Aniket and Paula. Very fast service and friendly table service by Chris and Joley. Would recommend. The facilities for a wheelchair user are very good. If I could make a suggestion it would be to have decaf Tea on the Menu.

Wonderful food bit over cooked to my taste but Kim the waitress happily addressed the problem and got it rectified for me, so thumbs up all round. Definitely be back again

Lovely hosts Chris. Went for breakfast, the food was fresh and hot. Great service and clean.

Great value for money, Kim the waitress was very friendly and efficient, would recommend to friends and family

Fantastic Food as always, we love the food here and this place, It’s so chilled and has a great vibe plus the staff here are the best-Keep up the good work

Went on a Tuesday lunch and used the chicken Tuesday voucher on the harvester app, where you get a chicken dish for £8, the service and food was great, well worth the visit and we will be using more offers in the future

Service is always fab here. New refurb has really brightened the place up. Food is ok. There seems to be a big infusion of ‘spicy’. I don’t like spicy!! The harvester has always been a great British go to place for us. Where are the potato skins? Average £20 each incl sodas

Lovely Harvester, with big garden as the weather was perfect

Seems to have gone downhill a bit over the last few months. Very cramped area to eat and can be very noisy. Food often comes out only warm, not hot, with service sometimes being very slow, albeit when it's busy, that's understandable. Salad cart is often low on food stuff, with everything seemingly always mixed up. Increases in price don't reflect on quality. Shame, as it always used to be a nice Harvester 😕

Sharon was great to handle 20 of us and keep good spirit and patience. Food was good quality wouldn’t bother with the onion rings again. Appreciate front of house putting us together even though we made 2 different bookings. Very kind.

Brilliant time at the Harvester yesterday as always. Food was lovely and the server wass polite and helpful. Highly recommend
