Harvester in Nottingham

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

Food was poor quality and unappetising

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.

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.?

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.

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

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

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.

Always a pleasure to go to Harvester 👌

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.

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

Brill b.fast sausages to die for 9/10

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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 😁

the food is good,the service attentive,and the atmosfere is very pleasant ,it's a place with excellent value for money. perfect for enjoyng a nice experience in a cozy setting.I definitly recommend it for its great service and atmosphere

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

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

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

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

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

The food was really good and the service was excellent! A very family friendly place to eat!

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

Salad bar needed restocking but worth the wait.

Excellent food, lovely knowledge staff and accommodating to my disabilities.

We have had Julia today and there are many words to describe Julia but polite wasn’t one of them. As we were ready to order Julia looked at us and saw that we were ready but decided to have a chin wag instead. Julia took her time throughout the meal. She also had the audacity to say to bigger people who were sat down do they need a bigger table as there’s is small I feel like there are other ways to say this like are you happy with were your sat. When I told the manager he seemed just as clueless as Julia and didn’t say anything on the matter let’s just say I won’t be going back there

Great service, great food and overall amazing place and credit to Julia the server

The atmosphere was a little off because the chef was very noisey shouting ORDER and grumbling everytime an order was ready and she didn't seem very happy when you don't normally hear them shout.

The food is as expected - it doesn’t blow your mind but given the price it’s not bad at all. Service is always fast and the team are always friendly and attentive so I have no complaints there! I’m a big fan of the salad bar but the last couple of times we’ve been, the restocking has not been the best so not everything was available. My only complaint is that the tables always feel sticky and the carpets/flooring and soft furnishings are looking very tired and warn which means it does not feel like cleanest of places.

Not the quickest of places to be served. The salad bar was non existent, I made a member of staff aware and still not restocked before we left and we were there 2 hours. The steak wasn't good, there where no check backs either. Family of 4 wouldn't return to this branch again.

I was greeted and seated on arrival by Lauren who was very friendly. I ordered the classic breakfast cooked by Adam and it was delicious!

The food was great and my server eve made the experience even better.

Great outside space for family and drinks. We sat in the bar for our food as we had our dog with us. Eve on the bar served us all night and was very knowledgeable and helped us by recommending food that would suit us. Would return. Thank you Eve!

Great as always, lovely new menu and fantastic service from Julia

Absolutely stellar experience. Had a drink with some friends. The atmosphere was great, a very welcoming feel to the place. The staff, especially Cam at the bar, were really friendly. 10/10 I plan on going again.

First tome visiting and wont be going back. Food was ok, except salad bar. Salad was brown and limited options. Bowls were wet and dirty. Also be warned about parking as this is not mentioned on website. You will get a parking ticket if you do not register your car.

We stopped off here on the way home from a weekend away. We didn't book but I would advise you to book if you can. It was a Sunday tea time and it was very busy. The restaurant area was full, but they were happy for us to sit in the bar area. The food was amazing. The ribs were a highlight. Considering how busy it was, the food arrived quite fast. I will visit here again if we are in the area again.

Nice food good value you can pile up your plate from salad bar plenty of choice from pasta salad colslaw then cobs ect with any main meal

Served by Aleta, really lovely, reliable and helpful service by her. Really nice service, good tasty food and affordable prices. Easy to park and nice clean accessible toilets.

Great spot, easy access and good food. Good and helpful staff. Would definitely visit again. Definitely recommend…..

Came in for breakfast after the school run, was greeted by the lovely Lauren, served a hot cup of tea on arrival and my breakfast order was taken straight away. Chef Adam cooked a cracking breakfast & the poached eggs were 10/10. Nothing was too much, Lauren was attentive and had a smile on her face from start to finish. Will definitely be coming back 😃

Friendly staff, great service and really enjoyed the ice cream sundaes.

Yummy breaky. Eve was great and Stephen was very welcoming. Will certainly return.

Breakfast was really good, and our server Aleta was very friendly and welcoming. It’s always a pleasure to be served by Aleta 👍

An enjoyable experience for lunch, with good food and great service. The waitress was very helpful and the food came out promptly

Came here for breakfast with friends. Staff were so kind & attentive. Matt, Aleta & Danni were always there to take our order, drinks topups. Breakfast came quickly with large portions by chefs Eamonn & Goppi. Great place to sit, eat & relax all day long.

Good and friendly service, tasty food, and decent portions.

AVOID AVOID AVOID, not sure why but it takes a very long time for anyone to come around and take your order, our record was 23 mins and that was on a Tuesday 4 pm. It definitely don’t worth visiting if you don’t have all the time in the world but generally speaking parents don’t have that much time before one of the kids want to jump off a table. This pub/ restaurant definitely getting worse!

Aleta was brilliant couldn’t do enough for us, food was perfect the chef today was Gopi. The restaurant was very clean. And had a lovely atmosphere everyone was so nice. Didn’t wait long at all for food. Would highly recommend here and definitely be visiting again soon

SERVICE SHOCKING . We went here today for lunch, there was a group of 8 in total we ordered in 3 separate orders all to the same table number so appreciate that the food wasn’t going to come out together! The couple that ordered last food came 1st very quickly in fact with the two starters on the 1st order , But the two meals which was on the 2nd order never came after 40 minutes of waiting we asked and the reply of the man behind the bar . Is the it’s because you didn’t order together so I said well they ordered before the meals we do have . And his reply they just cook and send as there ready No sorry ! Another 15 minutes passed an no sign of the food ! At this time we was ready for our deserts so I asked for these and again asked again how much longer for the other two meals Then the lady was very rude and said we already hurried them along they will come when it’s ready ! still no sorry 55 minutes in and the rest of the table had finished and still missing two meals . They then brought out our deserts and still no sign of the last two meals , when asking again he said it’s because the order was on a different screen . bear in mind we had ordered a hour ago at this point and asked 3 times ! No sorry no apologies so we asked for the money back for the last two and never received them !! service was shocking fair enough if they lost the order but all they had to do was apologise and say they was going to cook it now it will be another 20 mins ! But there rude attitude made us not even want to wait any longer then a hour for it ! They can’t even be bothered to clear starters before bringing the mains which they still left the starter plates on the tables they even brought the deserts which we ate with our stater and main plates on the table they did not once check back and see l if everything was ok with our food ! Would definitely not recommend just because the service is absolutely shocking the staff definitely need some customer service training !!! It’s a shame because the food we did receive was ok nothing special but a good price ! And good sized portioned and the salad bar a good touch !

Brilliant place for a drink and food is nice but remember they don't do Sunday Roast dinners as they are not a carvery.

Food was lovely and Aleta was fab and super friendly

Always a great breakfast at the harvester wilford, Aleta our server was very polite and friendly, Nick the chef, his cooking is on point 👌🏼 Highly recommended ✨

First visit, will return. Chloe is very helpful and professional.

Had a wonderful lunch with the family. Peaceful with pleasant servers. Thank you for a well-needed treat out.

Felt that our experience was let down in a couple of ways. The fish in the fish and chips tasted watery and soggy and also impacted the quality of the battery - ultimately more than half of it was left. Sadly a hair was also found wrapped around one of the salad items. We have definitely had more pleasant experiences here.

Great food, great service. Reece our server was particularly helpful. Thank you

Stopped for Breakfast great food real good atmosphere Staff friendly Great Service would recommend

Welcoming staff ,food very good , clean dinning area.

Harvester is great, if only for the infamous salad bar! There was a problem with one of our meals (to do with the quality of one of the steaks, which was incredibly tough, unlike the others we had of the same cut) and the staff were fab. They dealt with the complaint efficiently and we were immediately offered to get it replaced, so couldn't have been handled better. Everything else was great, and our server was lovely.

Not visited for over a year always enjoyed our meals , yesterday i was totally Dissatisfied , went to salad bar first thing i seen was a fly on the Lettuce totally put me off think it should be coverd , ordered our meals i had steak aaked for mustard or horseradish waitresses come back no mustard & they dont do horseradish , since last time i came its not the same left half my dinner totally Dissatisfied.

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

I was greeted very quickly and I had put a little comment on the booking form if we could watch the lionesses. The staff member had read the comment and offered me a table in the bar area where a TV was showing the match. The food arrived very quickly Staff were nice and polite

2 meals were OK. The 2 steak meals were appalling. The steak was extremely tough and hard to chew. Portion sizes for the price poor. Staff seemed to choose which tables they went to to ask if everything was OK with meals. Very disappointing

Chloe was lovely food amazing thank you love harvester xx atmosphere lovely for my friends birthday she was made up and the service was great asset to ur company chloe is

Service was extremely slow. We weren’t asked if we wanted drinks I had to ask to order after about 10 minutes . When the rest of our party arrived again service was slow. One drink didn’t arrive till after we got our meals. We didn’t get our salad bowls until the food arrived . Personally I felt my food was average. The Mediterranean vegetables were soggy in oil. Again had to wait ages for the table to be cleared and I was literally looking for a staff member to order a dessert for the little one. It was almost empty at 9pm like all the staff had gone home with the customers. The staff that did serve us however were polite. Don’t order the coffee either it looked awful and we asked for it to be taken off the bill as didn’t drink it.

Patrick, our server, was lovely took our order and was super accommodating. We had come for anniversary and had come from across the city especially to eat here because the food and the service are so consistently lovely

Arrived here at 6pm, seated quickly but waited over 20 minutes for someone to come back over to take our order. No drinks order was asked, so I had to ask. Food was okay, jacket spud was rock hard and beans was cold. We did get a check back so was able to voice this back to the server. This was knocked off the final payment thankfully. We sat with dirty plates for a further 20 Minutes, and when he did come to collect he took half of the plates, and left the rest. I mentioned we was ready for a desserts order, which he never came back to take. I ordered these at the bar. Puddings came and our main plates was still on the table. Had to ask them to take them away. Food was mediocre, but unfortunately the service was really poor. It felt like no one was really in charge and we was just left. I work in hospitality so I know how important service to guests is. Is this harvester standards? As we had this in London too. Don't want to sound like a Karen leaving a bad review but I feel some times it helps to improve service

The customer service we received from Natalia was absolutely phenomenal, made us feel very welcome and created a great atmosphere. The food was amazing

The staff here are just amazing and truly go above and beyond to be of assistance. Food is good, reasonably priced but they could do with updating the salad bar. They also have a lovely garden, a nice spot to enjoy your drinks when the weather's nice

Nataliia at wilford harvester nottingham has such a lovely personality she's friendly and chatty and couldn't do enough for us.

Service was very good and the food was excellent

Friendly and helpful wait staff. The food was really delicious and we were very pleased with the whole breakfast. Aleta was our server and she made sure we were happy and had everything we needed throughout our visit. Gopi the chef has done a great job of the food and was great at Poached Eggs!
