Harvester in Nottingham

Went for my 30th, food was lovely and the staff were really friendly, it wasn't crazy busy but book ahead to avoid disappointment.

A really lovely meal! It has been some years since I visited and was pleasantly surprised. Great, efficient service. Delicious food well presented. Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere, not too busy for our visit. Definitely worth trying

Pleasant staff. Easy parking. new menu introduced. Big improvement. Busiest I have seen it for some months.

Be aware, they're mixing up the menus (or something of the sorts) when we went today 13th March, and because of this our Groupon voucher was invalid, only being valid AFTER 17th March. We was only told this AFTER ordering our meal and desert. No signs anywhere mentioning this nor did our server bring this up, disappointing and felt misleading.

Fantastic service from the lovely Julia as always, who went out of her way to accommodate our meal choices. Well cooked food and very reasonably priced.

Went to harvester 06.03.25 one of our favourite places to eat ordered garlic mushrooms and half a chicken and chips asked for them to arrive together my wife's mushrooms came but we sat for 2 hours and my meal never arrived at all the staff kept saying 5 minutes 10 minutes asked for our money back I am a diabetic had to leave hungry and fuming they was doing 50% of meals and couldn't cope at all we even had to clear our own table as many other people had to absolutely a disaster from start to finish

Nice food. Our server, Julia, was great as always

Sat for 2 hours ordered garlic mushrooms and the chicken and chips my wife got the mushrooms I never received my meal the staff keeper saying 5 minutes 10 minutes but I never got my meal they was doing 50% off meals but couldn't cope at all very disappointed and angry got my money back but went home hungry fuming

Very busy on the evening we visited. Order taken promptly and food was delivered in good time. Our server, Julia was very courteous and friendly.

I had the pleasure of being served by Julia at The Harvester and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we sat down, they were attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome

Service was amazing, greeted with a lovely smile and was quick service. They were very busy but was still seen to in a quick manner and was so polite and smiley :)

very good service all round . Thank you to the dedicated team .We were served by Julia who simply couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome, this lady even found some English mustard that they thought they were out of . we felt so welcome we even stayed for extra drinks Julia advised us on a very nice Hardys wine . Thank you once again.

We come here now and again and we usually see Aleta who delivers great customer service. Lovely food and drink, always willing to come back to our favourite Harvester branch.

Great food and service aleta service with a smile Great attitude absolutely lovely

Didn’t have straws here once so naturally never coming back again lol

The light was of in the car park at 7pm the service the waiter was a bit rude. The food taken 45 minutes to arrive. Over all we say a solid 4.5

Food and service was great Julia’s service was on point 👌👌

Food and service excellent, served by Julia cooked by Adam

Salad bar nearly empty of food. I opted for chicken burger. It was so dry. No dressing at all. Perhaps it was just the wrong time of day/week (6pm Monday). Also, carpark has no lighting. Not good on dark nights

Service slow room cold food not upto scratch

Pretty poor service by a member of staff who couldn’t be bothered and lacked some basic training in removing dirty dinner plates before bringing out dessert, even when promoted. Then when I asked she seemed very reluctant and as if I had put her out. Food took quite a while to arrive, but it was nice and very reasonable for a family of 5. Also when walking out of the main and only entrance my kids had to walk through a cloud of smoke from people stood directly outside smoking, surely this should not be the designated smoking area! Sadly the service let us down on this occasion.

Spot on, not been for a while, wasn't disappointed, service good, combine harvester ...ribs fell off the bone... awesome. Not sure what the sweetcorn square things was but were also amazing.... proper slab of fudge cake promptly followed. Go there n get some. 5 star.

Never coming here again the so called manager is so rude waited over an hour for food when I asked he had a bad attitude and rolled his eyes at me salad bar was half empty but the service from the manager was terrible absolutely disgusting place was freezing had to sit in my coat just shocking absolutely shocking chicken was dry and chips was cold just awful avoid this place it needs shutting down avoid avoid avoid!!

Great breakfast with generous portion sizes. Food came out very quick as did our round of drinks. Server Matt was attentive and made sure I was ok getting to the table with crutches as well as making sure we registered our numberplate for parking. One our favourite breakfast stops when you don't wanna cook.

Disappointed last visit As the meat was dry and the salad bar empty.

As vegans we are often disappointed when it comes to eating out, wether it be the lack of options or poor quality of the limited menu. This particular harvester could do with having a broader vegan selection however the vegan burger they do provide was brilliant! One of the best pub burgers we've had. I would also like to say how wonderful Julia was with being the hostess with the mostess! Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was very friendly throughout. Thank you 😊

Friendly staff , steak was chewy . Salad rolls were hard and not fresh . The whole pub was cold . Not a great atmosphere to sit in when your cold , had to wear coat all the time we were eating . Eaten lots of times there so it was disappointing.

Popped in on a bike ride for a quick pint. Friendly and allowed us to bring our bikes in with us as long as we kept them out of the way.

Julia was lovely and the food was very nice by Evalena - unfortunately food was a little slow but overall a very nice experience for a birthday diner.

I am a regular visitor to this Harvester. Love it. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

Food was lovely, service great. Would recommend

Julia was so lovely and considerate of my Mum’s allergies, she took time to fully understand what she could and couldn’t eat and was so helpful

Natalia was wonderful, so friendly and incredibly helpful with my food allergies. She checked in multiple times to ensure that everything I received was safe for me to eat, and it felt like she genuinely cared about us having a positive experience.

Food dissappointing and service very slow

**Wow, just wow.** **Atmosphere and Cleanliness:** For starters, the place desperately needs an update—it's so rundown. The atmosphere was downright dreadful. When we ordered drinks at the bar, my wife’s glass had lipstick around the rim. We informed the barmaid, who proceeded to pour the drink from the dirty glass into another glass without a care! The second drink wasn’t any better; it had fruit flies floating in it. **Salad Bar:** The salad bar was a mess, with old bits of food everywhere. The pasta felt like chewing on Gandhi's flip flop. **Main Course:** The main course took more than an hour and a half to arrive. While I understand this for a party of 10+, the food still came out cold. Overall, a disappointing experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Hopefully, they make some serious improvements soon!

We are frequent visitors. Sadly, we always have to wait to be attended to, on arrival. Almost feel like we're ignored, while the staff carry on talking among themselves (in plain sight of us!). But..all-in-all, good venue

Had the belly pork and the salmon fillet. Delicious. If you get Matt as a waiter then you’ll have a great meal. He really looks after you.

Sat at table quickly. Order taken swiftly. However on both our mains & desserts items were missing from the dishes. Earlier waiter was obviously not happy working there. When he'd gone the young lady who took over was friendly and helpful. Soft drinks dispenser shut down quite some time before closing. It was evident that people staying to almost closing time was not normal and we felt we were no longer wanted at the restaurant.

Visit many times. A little quiet this time, normally busy

Always a pleasure to go to Harvester 👌

Amazing service from Julia and delicious food

Lovely friendly waitress. Prompt service. Good quality food. Free parking.

Excellent Service from Julia. 5 stars lovely conversation and polite. Food cooked by Adam excellent 5 stars. Food Presented lovely tasted great salad bar stocked well. Thank you for a lovely lunch

Matt as a server was brilliant. Food by Adam and Gopi was very nice. Come here at least once a year for birthdays, great experiences every time.

Our server NATALIA was absolutely amazing! So attentive, friendly and smiley. She honestly couldn't do enough for us. I praised her later on at the bar and she was so appreciative. You can tell she has a passion for customer service because of her energy. NATALIA is a credit to your business, Harvester She deserves endless praise. Thankyou Natalia, you're amazing!

Would of been 5 stars only let down by cold bar seating area. Excellent food & customer service faultless.

Amazing service from Julia as always. Food was cooked to superb standard by Adam. Will definitely be returning again soon

Great service, friendly staff. Had steak which was cooked perfectly. Was served by Lauren who was friendly and helpful.

We love this place it's clean staff are friendly food is excellent and they have good deals

The salad bar in Harvesters is the main selling point. The salad bar here was well stocked and fresh. The other food was also good though it took quite a while to be served.

Very friendly staff good service very good food

We live in Derby and travel to Wilford farm rather than the pride park one as the atmosphere is better staff are lovely and food has always been great

Great place and staff and helped a charity raise £750 fir bilborough helping others 😀

Server Julia was very helpful & attentive. The food was good & the atmosphere was nice. Only problems we had were pink spritz without any strawberries & my husband would have liked the salmon, but you didn’t have any.

Arrived without a booking , was given a table ,, vegan variety to a certain degree limited

Appreciate it was Christmas day but had a long wait. Arrived at time we booked had to wait over an hour to be seated. By the time we had been served no one else in the place so obviously no atmosphere. Food was decent enough We were not even offered coffee after the meal .

Lovely place, nice ambience. We got placed in a booth out the way of the rest of the restaurant a bit and the service was a bit slow, I feel like we got a bit forgotten. Food was delicious however and I'd go back. We went for a quick bite and ended up being 2.5hrs, which I don't expect to be the norm.

The whole visit was terrible from beginning to end. We visited for my brothers birthday. We waited an hour for food and when it came my niece's main course (mushroom tart) was burnt but still cold!! All of our food was luke warm/ cold. We felt a rough it had been sat waiting to be brought out for a long time. We were not visited at all during the meal to check if things were ok (we would definitely have complained if they had!) When my niece went to pay, the staff were all talking and she didn't feel like she could interrupt to complain. All in all it was an awful experience which spoiled the celebration.

Lovely meal with my son for.his birthday who is at Nottingham University xx

I wanted to take a moment to commend the exceptional service provided by Matthew during our recent visit to Harvester for Breakfast with Santa. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our experience truly special. The event itself was great, Mr and Mrs Claus was lovely – the setup was perfect for the holiday season, and the food was delicious. Matthew's warm and attentive service made it even more enjoyable. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you, Matthew, and the Harvester team for creating such a memorable morning. We can’t wait to return with the children next year.

Food was poor quality and unappetising

Service and quality of food was shambles! Sent back a meal as things was missing won’t be comming back and do not recommend

This is a second visit within 12 months almost a year later. My previous review was disappointing but was my first visit. I was hoping that there would be an improvement but sadly that was not the case.?

Places are made by people and our server was brilliant. She was friendly attentive and all with good humour. The location is perfectly situated and food is what it is - pub food. Place looks well used which is fine but could do with a spruce up sometime soon

Food and service excellent. A warm welcome. Bit cold in the restaurant though

Lunch for 5. Good service, nice food. Very poor way of giving menu choices for those needing a gluten free diet, why not just print a menu? Using the online menu wasawful, and the servers tablet not mush better. Needs to improve.

First choice meal not available but food and service fine

Visited for an evening meal after work. Really nice welcoming restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. Seating area was clean. Food was really tasty, well cooked and really filling. Our server Kara was very attentive. Large car park and clean toilets. The only slight issue was a 30 minute wait for the mains after being served from the salad bar, but the food was worth the slight wait. Returned recently with group of friends and had a great experience. Service was excellent. Another great visit, had The Dirty One burger which was excellent and very well cooked. Our server Zoe was very attentive and friendly.

Came for a last minute family meal. Served by Lauren who was lovely and prompted us about the black Friday offer. The food was lovely and hot, the only downside to our visit was how cold the restaurant was. The heating was on but unless you were sat right next to a radiator no heat was travelling around the room which is a shame as eating when cold isn't a good feeling. I'd recommend to family and friends but maybe the heating should be looked at.

Allocated requested table. Staff attentive. Food delicious, hot and plentiful. Thank you.

Brill b.fast sausages to die for 9/10

Food was amazing. Thank you Chef Andy. Servers were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you Matt and Aleta.

Dirty restaurant and tables. Slow service. Food poor quality and not hot.

Had a lovely breakfast made by nick and we was served by aleta who was lovely thanks again

Not the best, one of those many places where the staff seem as though they don't really want to be there, waited ages for service, waited ages for the food. When we wondered where the staff was we found them all stood at the bar gabbing. Seems to be a common complaint on these reviews. We have allergies in the family and was given a tablet to look through to see what was safe which was great but it said gluten free burgers came in a bun and we was then told they would come without and there was also bogies stuck to the screen. Food wasn't great for the money at all, asked for the steak well done and it came dry and cremated. Defo wouldn't visit again as there are so many better places to eat. A real shame as it used to be great.

Evie served us today with impeccable service. She's knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Food was a good fill and salad bar well stocked. The decor looks a bit worn but that's to be expected in a busy place.

Great service from Julia and food cooked by Gopi. A lovely evening meal

Always lovely food and always great service from Aleta! Food was cooked nicely and friendly atmosphere! Thank you Aleta & Nick

we come every other Sunday with our grandma, staff are always lovely & attentive. gratitude to Aleta for being lovely & to Ewelina for cooking delightful food!

Lovely staff and lovely food and quick service Julia was the one that served us and she was lovely thank you Julia and gopi

Quick and friendly service lovely food always nice here Had full breakfast and hot drinks Tidy environment Served by Aleta and chef was ewelina

We had really good food here and our server Aleta was very friendly and helpful. The food being cooked by chef Nick was cooked well, served hot and the chicken was superb. The salad bar was all fresh and plenty of it as well. Overall very good food and priced fairly. We’ll visit again as this is one of our favourites. Thanks.

Great service, delicious breakfast.

Beautifully cooked breakfast, tasted delicious. Great customer service by Julia Would definitely recommend for breakfast

Aleta was very helpful and attentive

Great service from Julia. Great food as usual. Never had a bad meal and this remains one of our firm favourites. We will be back.

We were very well looked after by Julia. Thank you for your attentive service.

Really felt welcomed as we arrived. Our waiting team were very polite and came to the table quickly. Ordering was easy with good menu choices. Food arrived as we expected. The only area of improvement could be the salad bar, this was not well stocked and looked untidy. But we enjoyed our evening.

Service is generally like Leicester where staff cannot be bothered. I understand hospitality and waitressing is very hard work and always show stuff maximum respect however even at slow times you can see your food on the deck with the lights blaring on it getting dryer and dryer until when it arrives, it’s terrible, very often the bar resembles a bomb site and often staff are standing around around chatting to each other when customers clearly need help

Good menu plenty of choice good service nice atmosphere great experience 😁

1 star for having a deal on that kids can eat for £1. Although its only with a paying adult. As you walk through the entrance it stinks of cigarettes....this should have been the sign not to go it but I went in anyway 🤦🏽‍♀️The food was below average, the kids portions were tiny...3 pieces of chopped chicken for chicken strips! Some of it was cold. The salad was dry and withered or gloopy. The broccoli was clearly from frozen not fresh and the peas were powdery. The waffle chicken dish was dry too. The burger with pulled pork was slop! The service was worse than slow and frustrating. No one could tell me what was gluten free, I had to click through a ridiculous amount of tabs on a tablet, but the info on this was just confusing. When it had no info on the system for the childrens burger, they asked the kitchen (what was the piont of the tablet?!) then my child had to have a burger with no bun. Crap. The kids deal was poor as you could only choose from a few things on the kids menu and it didn't include drinks ...£2.10 for a fruit shoot!!! Then I was brought out the wrong meal so I had to wait untill nearly everyone was finished to eat. And to top it off I had to faff with an app and code to get the deal! They of course have terrible WiFi so this was not easy. I will never go again.

Came with a nut allergy and discount voucher and the staff were lovely and accommodating! felt like they did everything possible to ensure we had a lovely experience today :))

Very enjoyable evening spent, great food and of course the legendary salad bar! Staff were friendly and efficient, meals served quickly. We didn't make a reservation on this occasion but wasn't a problem despite the restaurant being quite busy. Ample parking available, car registration has to be logged on entry to avoid a penalty ticket. Disabled access to the pub is via a lift due to steps on the entrance. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou 😁

Salad was empty for the 2nd time we've been and no rush to fill it. But waitress was lovely.....

Came here about 2 months ago and it was fab but this time really disappointed. Arrived and no one came to seat us for a good 5 minutes couple of staff chatting at the bar. Once we ordered we was given 2 dirty salad bowls which we swapped went up to the salad bar and virtually empty. Asked a member of staff and was told someone is coming to replenish,15 minutes later and someone came to replenish but he was only taking one container at a time to fill. When I asked for croutons it was as if I'd asked for £1000 really disappointed.

The staff were great, the food was cooked ok but the change in menu seems to have taken all the quality out of the Harvester. The ribs used to fall off the bone and we're juicy (everyone loved them) but they were all bone and dry, much poorer quality. The other food followed the same theme, it was all a bit less than before and the kids burger was horrible, all the burgers were worse but that was awful. So disappointing for a restaurant we visit every month, and embarrassing to have taken our friends. We won't be coming back with the business like this. Thanks, Jo

Great food,not cheap though, will go again,staff are great.

Really lovely mid week early dinner, had a fab rotisserie chicken, and great service from Julia.

Very busy, there was 6 in our group, with a service dog. The waitress was lovely didn't get her name but used the word 'love' a bit. Accommodating what we all needed. Well done

Big fans of the unlimited salad bar. That was a very nice touch and we all enjoyed the restaurant. Friendly, attentive service, too.
