Harvester in Carmarthenshire

We visited as a group of friends today and everything was just spot on. Food was lovely and hot, salad bar was amazing and staff were friendly and helpful. Big shout out to our server Harry who looked after us very well indeed.

very good service lovely staff. quick service lovely food and very friendly. very interactive and sociable with customers very good experience

Stopped here for lunch while shopping. Good choice and quality food. No pretence. Fish and chips excellent. Small plates excellent Salad bar free with a main meal What’s not to like!😊 Thank you to Aimee our server for prompt service.

Great service from Rhi, she was really good as we had 2 people with allergies, felt safe and reassured by Rhi, nothing too much trouble, she had been our server twice this month, 5 Star ⭐

We have always enjoyed a family visit to Harvester when we are in Carmarthen but over the last few years each visit becomes slightly worse! We arrived a bit earlier than our booked time and was shown to our table and given menus. We then waited a long time for a waiter to come to take the order, the restaurant was quiet at this time and all staff were gathered at the bar. The staff member was new but it was painfully slow taking the order and this all took a long time when you’ve got children with you desperate for a drink and a salad bowl! Not as much choice at the salad bar as there used to be years ago but this was fine. Meals a lot smaller than they used to be too and a lot more expensive! Ordered a steak flatbread but the flatbread was very crispy and dry, not very appealing at all. Had a kids eat for £1 offer but could only use it on one child as one picked a harvester signature kids meal apparently which was exempt from the offer! Cost almost £50 to include 2 adults meals, 2 kids meals including 1 that cost £1, 2 refillable drinks and a water!

The harvester is really welcoming with a light atmosphere. My friends and I enjoy eating out here. I had the fish and chips, which was really nice. However, I was disappointed they took the jalapeño poppers off the menu from the last time I was there, but I still really enjoyed the time there and the meal I had.

Huge compliments to the Back of House Team. The Rocky Horror Sunday is absolutely exquisite. Anyone who tries it be prepared and make some room after your meal as it's a big one but worth every bit. The staff and management team are always lovely and helpful and make the place feel warm and welcoming every-time. In particular Claire, Frankie, Jolene and Katie. Just hope that the powers that be in Harvester HQ, recognise the hard work everyone in Carmarthen puts in with what they have been given for the customers on a daily basis.

Friendly and efficient staff great atmosphere and tasty food delicious desserts thanks for the balloons on my mothers birthday x

terrible place to drive to. no car park, in the town pedestrian only centre. food average ,coffee great. service was good.

We haven’t visited for a while and we were delighted to the greeted politely when we asked for a table for two and shown to a table near the salad bar. The salad bar was very fresh and full with lots of choice with the chefs checking frequently. The scampi arrived hot and crunchy . We will visit again when passing. Thank you to the team. 😊

Went in around 6pm on Wednesday. Restaurant was reasonably busy. We were seated quickly, told our servers name and when she would be with us. Katie arrived promptly, took our drinks and food order. Drinks and salad bowls were brought promptly. Salad bar was clean and well stocked. Our main meals arrived really really quickly. The food was well presented, hot and really good. Friend had Dirty bird burger and i had bourbon coated chicken. Portion sizes were quite large. Server checked on us throughout meal, brought fresh drinks when needed and cleared plates promptly. Dessert order was taken quickly and desserts brought out very quickly. Biscoff sundae and Rocky horror sundae were both quite large and absolutely lush. Bill brought promptly on request and payment taken in a reasonable time frame. I havent been here for a few years after my last experience pre pandemic which was awful. I am so glad I gave it another chance as both the service and food were excellent. Looking forward to a return visit.

Great food, great atmosphere. Fantastic service. An all round pleasant experience, highly recommend to all in Carmarthen

First, compliments to our waitress Katie who was charming and helpful. Nothing wrong with front of house here. This was first time we have visited a Harvester in years, as most of those where we live or visit regularly have either gone or been turned into Miller & Carters. Sadly the standards have fallen. The half rotisserie chicken was tiny, surely not half an adult hen. The chewy gammon steak was thin and overcooked, the half tomato was miniscule and the pineapple, which used to be a lovely wedge cut straight from a fruit has become a weeny piece of canned stuff. We realise costs are rising but are saddened to see what used to be a great chain falling down on the basics. Shame.

Great seating area buy the kitchen and salad bar, got sat by Frankie she was great with the children. Food was lovely and the kids loved there dessert can’t thank Frankie enough for entertaining the kids with Harry Potter talk.

Fab time. Katie was our waiters! She was excellent, felt really looked after and nothing was too much trouble! Would definitely recommend.

We were having a bad day so to find space at Harvester was just great, we could finally relax! The staff were lovely & allocated us space straight away. The salad bar is included and was absolutely delicious with a lot to choose from, top tip - don’t eat too much salad because you’ll be too full to eat the rest🤣! We had the 2 course Christmas menu. I recommend the mushrooms for starter & the turkey Christmas dinner. Absolutely divine! The organisation was good, it all tasted good & looked amazing! Will definitely come back! Only down side was it did take a while for the main to come!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here. We went for my daughters 14th birthday. The service was good. It was Dylan who served us. He was quite good. The food was plentiful and tasty and warm. We didn't wait long to order or receive our orders. The ambiance was good. It was warm. The price was very respectable for 5 adults. We got 25% discount. I would go again. I must say it has improved 100% since i was last there in 2021 i think.

Went to Harvester for lunch was absolutely lovely, staff were great and helpful, food was excellent. All round great experience!

Carmarthen restaurant ,my wife and I went in restaurant wasn’t that busy but we had to book come back in 45 mins ,got seated very pleasant waitress took our order my wife can’t eat anything except plain so she chose the pasta veggie dish ,I had mixed grill helped our selves to salad got our drinks ,then waited 50 mins for our food (not good ) food came wife’s food has some kind of BBQ tasting sauce with it and it was very chewy ,she couldn’t eat it ,mine was ok asked for a rare steak got medium. I am a professional chef so I understand waiting if it was packed but it wasn’t ,won’t be going again

Fantastic value for money, quality food, lovely atmosphere, clean and very friendly. We popped in on our travels before going to the cinima. Special mention to Dylan who was so polight and looked after us there the whole time. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Fantastic meal, value for money and lots of choice on menu - even for my fussy son! The young lady, Shannon, that served us was very sweet. Although busy she made sure we had everything we needed. We are visiting this area but definitely think this Harvester is the best that we have been to.

Excellent service all-round. Great food and a friendly atmosphere. Even sorted a box for my daughter to take her burger home in.

Our lunch was nice, especially the fishcakes, although the garlic bread was a little overdone. Katie who served us was lovely and very helpful despite it being a busy lunchtime.

The food is good staff are friendly. Very good place for meeting up with friends. I go quite frequently.

We visited on a Monday evening while on holiday in Wales. We were seated and ordered our meals. We had to ask another waitress for bowls for the salad bar. The salad was missing a few items including bread rolls, when my husband asked for them he was told that who ever was supposed to order the items hadn’t done so. When receiving our meals my daughter had ordered steak, she’d asked for it to be cooked medium but it was very much rare. We asked for it to be cooked a bit more, the waitress was lovely and took the steak back to the kitchen. When it returned it wasn’t cooked much more than the first time. My daughter didn’t want to send it back again but hardly ate anything. The rest of the meals were missing items and when we asked it was for the same reason as the salad bar. We were then offered something else to add to the meal at this point. Everything just felt disjointed. Very basic Harvester.

As always, an excellent meal. The vegetarian options always a good choice. The Team Leader, who served us, was good at his job & definitely a 'people person'.

Arrived for lunch at 12:15 on the 27th of this month and was politely greeted by a lovely young lady. I asked for a table near the back near the salad bar due to mobility issues, this was not a problem. We were given menus and told our server would be along shortly. We were given sufficient time to look over the menu’s We were served by Dylan on this occasion and although the many times we have been there all the staff have been lovely, Dylan was great! Attentive but not overly and very knowledgeable with the menu. After placing our order, mine was the Rotisserie chicken and my husband had a beef burger, We went to get our salad and it was all very fresh and plentiful! The potato salad was amazing! Our food arrived and i think it’s one of the best meals i’ve had there, although not once have we not enjoyed our food. I had to send our compliments to the chef on this occasion 10 out of 10 from us, keep it up Harvester 😃

Absolutely shambles. We arrived early at 6.30pm and was seated at table 32 by a lovely young lady. We had arranged a midweek date night for myself and husband. Order was taken fairly swiftly and bowls given. I have never had such weak squash in my life you could swear there was a shortage across the country it was basically yellow coloured water and they charged £2.30 for that. We ordered our food my husband the mixed grill and upgraded to dirty fries and myself the rump steak with peppercorn sauce stating twice that they bee cooked rare. However it swiftly went downhill when we hit the salad bar and there was hardly anything there no lettuce no pasta and no bread rolls or butter out at this stage we were sat right next to the salad bar and saw over 20 people come and walk away looking very disappointed that items were not being replaced at all. For the duration of our visit about an hour and half the lettuce was not replenished once. Then my husbands food arrived while I had popped to use the facilities and big sign on the door stating that there is not hot water therefore they have put hand sanitiser there instead. For someone who suffers with skin conditions this is simply not good enough. It took another 10 mins for my food to arrive. We both looked at each and didn’t know whether laugh or cry on each plate was half a slightly grilled tomato only with 2 of the smallest mushrooms that could be found burnt to a cinder. The peas looked as if they had just come out of a microwave my husbands steak was nowhere near rare but on the verge between well done and burnt. The chicken was anything much to right home about and the gammon the same the chips were cold they only decently cooked item on his plate was the fried egg. No myself ordering a rare rump steak with peppercorn sauce was expecting a nice juicy piece of meat with a lovely jug of sauce. I have have had nicer peppercorn sauce from value supermarkets. The steak was like leather and could barely cut through it even with the steak knife. It had so much fat running through the cut of meat there was more fat than meat. We swiftly ate what we could walked to the bar and paid for the bill and even with the 40% voucher used it cost over £30. Left still hungry very disappointed and will not be returning again. The fact that the chest could not tell the difference between how to cook a rare steak and an incinerated one baffles me.

I messaged the restaurant at the end of May and although read was never answered they obviously don’t mind that people don’t return So not happy with our visit today. Came in for lunch arriving just after 12:30 and seated straight away, order taken and bowls for salad and our drinks had arrived within five minutes to table 7, after this things went down hill. We had ordered two of the simply chicken with jackets potatoes and we waited and we waited, people coming in after us were having their more complex orders and despite asking how much longer still no food or told we were next, by 1:20 I was starting to feel ill as needed food (I’m diabetic) was told that things weren’t good in the kitchen and meals were being messed about - I told him we couldn’t wait anymore as I needed to get a sandwich, reply was terribly sorry over and over and then took payment for the drinks - unbelievable response after so long you’d have thought the drink would have been complimentary 😡 we left just after 13:30. We were visiting on way to a couple of days away in a cottage and this certainly took the shine off things as I was unwell for the rest of the afternoon

Terrible service, waited over an hour for our food, the couple behind us had the wrong food brought out so they left and didn’t pay, I told them to box ours up because we needed to go(didn’t expect to be anywhere near that long) then after this it took another 20 minutes, I regretted paying as I had to wait then! The waiter who was serving us was also a Complete idiot couldn’t hear him speak

We have eaten at here before but not for a few years so we popped in yesterday for lunch. We chose from the 2 course lunch menu which cost £11.49 each, we had the Gammon and Scampi both meals were very good, the 2 puddings...

Good service by our waitress Emma, food was good desserts lovely. Overall a nice experience. Would go again.

Called in for lunch, orderd off the lunch menu which was a good deal. Starters arrived and they were lovely, waited around an hour for mains to arrive , staff kept apologizing (could tell they were understaffed) they said they would give us a free...

Sadly this restaurant needs some staff retraining. Very slow service - cold chips - very very tough steak virtually .inedible.

We'd had to postpone a pre-Christmas lunch at the last minute due to illness. The restaurant was very sympathetic and accommodating, allowing us to re-book. We didn't manage to do this until last week but they still did a fabulous Christmas decorated table, the food...

Arrived there at 12noon today. There were more rhan 10 tables empty so not busy there! We were asked whether we had reserved a table but we hadn't. The reply was that we had to wait until 1.15pm for a table! Surely you should be...

We enjoyed our experience at the Harvester. The children were happy with their meals as were the adults. The menu had plenty of options for everyone. Staff very polite and efficient.

Table booked for 6pm. Order taken at 6.10pm. Food on table at 7pm! 5 meals and as we sat in front of the kitchen we watched the caos that was the waiting staff. Nachos were fine, southern chicken was mediocre, burger was inedible, 2 king...

Harvester are a country-wide franchise, so you would expect the dining experience to be similar from site to site. This one, the Carmarthen branch, is a city centre venue rather than an old-style pub, but none the worse for that. Our experience was very much...

We was originally going to go to Toby carvery however for the 3rd time they was fully booked and not doing walk ins. So we came to harvester. We was a table of 4 and felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. The food...

Not the normal 'Pub' Harvester , but a modern town shopping centre type. The staff were helpful, but the choice of drinks were limited and the enjoyment of the "help yourself" salad bar has now gone. As there were very few tables occupied, I thought...
