Harvester in East Hampshire

Great food despite being busy and drinks have a great variety

What an amazing experience lead by the lovely Kathy. She made such a cute Christmas breakfast for our boys even more special. Thank you Kathy, have a wonderful Christmas

I love friendly cheerful staff Kathy went the extra mile Kathy made our experience worth being here 🎉🎄🤶🏼

Have just enjoyed the festive menu 2024. We both had the turkey dinner and it was very tasty.

Terrible. Booked a table for 7:30, turned up 5mins early, despite requesting a table in the restaurant they tried to seat us in the bar where they were having a disco. When I asked for the table I'd booked they said they didn't have any. We went elsewhere.

Great time was had by my whole family.

Lovely food and the waitress was helpful and friendly

Staff were welcoming and polite, especially our waitress, Emily, who was on hand whenever we needed anything, but never imposing. Food was excellent quality and tasty. The atmosphere was warming and pleasant. Highly recommended!!

I’m sorry but I sure this will be the worst Christmas meal please don’t order

Substandard lazy food. Garlic bread was just a flat bread. No Garlic. Garlic bread with cheese had no garlic and a cheese slice microwaved on a flatbread. Burgers dry and overcooked. However the kids xmas meal was excellent, service was a bit slow but acceptable. Overall doubt we would go back

Can't go wrong with Harvester. Always there and serving and food portions of food! Happy to pack up in a takeaway away box. Christmas Pudding from the festive menu was overdone, chewy and a bit burnt.

Our server Emily C is a credit to your Rowlands castle harvester restaurant! We were a table of 14 and Emily was friendly, approachable and overall a lovely lady ☺️

We were served by Callum who was very professional and friendly, helping us with our requests. The food also came out quickly and was very tasty with a good portion size! All in all a good afternoon meal experience :)

Great place to eat plus staff are very welcoming

Emily c was a great host lovely food.

Food was great, Callum our chef was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely evening.

food wasn't hot and seemed like it was out of a packet

Had a great lunchtime meal and visit

Disappointed all round we normally love the harvester Rowlands Castle Hampshire . Food was really Disappointing since when did you serve frozen roast potatoes with the Christmas meal? Hubby orderd a large meal and ended up eating when we got home, my simply chicken had no broccoli on the plate as they ran out but only offered an alternative when I mentioned it. Our friends meals were not overly hot and mix up with puddings.seemed totally disorganised £150 later and hugely disappointed Girl who served us was very sweet we just left as didn't feel it was worth complaining didn't see anyone working there over 25 years old Been to you for years totally put off ;(

All good, but vacuuming the restaurant while we were still eating was unacceptable. And this wasn't to clear up a spill, it was their end of day clear up. Not good

Helpful server. Shame the chicken breast was overcooked

Excellent service and food for a party of eight diners, Callum very friendly and attentive and courteous, highly recommended, look forward to next visit from Wales

Been here often as usually enjoy it but bit disappointing this time. Staff tried to seat 7 of us at a table with 5 chairs until I complained, and yet I had pre booked a week ago. Took us 20 minutes to get any menus, there wasn't enough cutlery so we had to find our own and the salad bar needed restocking as lots of empty spaces. The rotisserie chicken was really good, would recommend it, though same cannot be said for the apple pie

Emily C brilliant service very cheerful and polite

Emily C, very energetic and good at her job! 10/10

I came here with my family, a party of 9, and our server Emily C was absolutely lovely, helping us with everything, joking with us and making us feel welcome in the restaurant. food was absolutely brilliant and came out so fast despite it being busy. Emily C was so hard working and made the experience even better, definitely recommend:))

Kathy was a great host for my whole family on a Sunday breakfast, quick with the drinks and had all the information for the menu! Came for my daughter’s birthday and she even sorted the cake and candles… 10/10!

Our server Kathy was welcoming & lovely and the food was delicious

Food was lovely Kathy served us and was so lovely and helpful everything was spot on even tho they was busy 😊

Jen was an attentive host. With plenty of personality. Hit me up sometime

Sasha was our server today and made us feel relaxed by being very welcoming. Sasha checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed.

Lovely food and experience - our server Callum was very friendly and helpful and made our experience enjoyable and stress-free :)

Food was absolutely delicious and served hot! The food was delivered by Sasha who was our waitress, she was so lovely and kind, always happy and smiley. Great service from all.

Excellent service despite staff been rushed off their feet! Just need to make sure there is plenty of salad bar food available as they kept running out...

I love the food here, the meals are good quality and my kids love the salad bowl, it makes it a lot easier to eat out with kids! I was disappointed with the £1 offer, it's not what you think it is. Having a £5.99 menu for kids (not being able to get just a main) I assumed it was this that was £1. But I was informed by the lady on arrival that it didn't include the pudding, and that we'd pay £2 for that. So basically you only save £2.99. I am on a budget and never eat out but went due to this deal. Luckily I managed to persuade my daughter to not have a pudding. I just think it's misleading

Great food, great service. Emily C was amazing.

Excellent and friendly service and value for money food

Breakfast. Was lovely. Stuff and very helpful and nice 🙂

Very nice food and excellent service from Kathy. Would highly recommend.

Unfortunately it’s not nice place to either eat or grab a drink with friends.

Thanks to our server Callum and the team for their wonderful service. Food was lovely and we had a great time!

Amazing service from Kathy ⭐️ so friendly and helpful!

Good morning my wife and I popped into Harvester Rolands Staunton Arms, our waitress Lucky was friendly and helpful no problem, our main meal was not so cheerful as the waitress. we ordered a so called chicken stack the first appearance looked like hot fat had been poured over it, after cutting into the stack and corn bread the proof of the eating was far too greasy for us, sadly it reminded us of a greasy spoon Cafe. Sadly no more dining at this lovely old restaurant.

Thanks for the great service Kathy!

Great service. Overall a very pleasant establishment. Well done to all staff.

How expensive is it here only had a main drink and the smallest ice cream sundae 27 quid. I didn't realise harvesters were that expensive these days

Great hot breakfast served by Callum! Friendly attentive great host!

Lovely pleasant atmosphere, lovely management and staff

Arrived at 17.00 as we booked a table ahead of time, wasn't shown to our table until 17.15 as no host present on arrival. Restaurant very messy lots of tables not cleared. Our waitress was lovely full of apologies. No chicken breast, gammon or rotisserie chicken available. Genuinely felt sorry for the front of house staff as you could see they were stretching themselves very thin. Food was OK but fairly cold and ribs were very small (not much meat) Overall staff pretty decent but management seriously need to hire more.

Callum our waiter was very good, food was excellent. Definately come back here

Salad bar was exceptional, unfortunately the meals were not so. Burger bread doughy, and burger meat dry. Steaks tough. Veg sticks dry and wilted. Jacket potatoes old and dry and hard. Very dissappointing. Have never had this kind of experience from a Harvester before.

Unfortunately had a horrible experience here today food was served cold. Tomato had a horrible sour taste onion rings uneditable went to have some coleslaw from salad bar absolutely disgusting gray looking 🤢 and got given dirty salad bowls

Great quick dinner with the kids

A really nice harvester, we've been coming here for years. We were given a lovely big booth for five of us. We all ordered different things off the menu, it all arrived freshly cooked and piping hot at the same time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we couldn't fault the service we received there.

My kids loved and enjoyed their food so much they had all of it, the service was great too. Emily C. was our waitress, she was lovely and very friendly with kids! Would definitely come back again, thanks!

Our waiter Josh C and waitress Emily C were an absolute delight, they were very friendly, courteous and helpful, they addressed food allergies and preferences ensuring a wonderful trip to the restaurant, they quickly got us to a seat and reminded me about putting my vrn into the computer for parking. The food was fresh, tasty and cooked well. The table was clean, and comfortable. The manager came out to support them while they dealt with difficult customers to our side which was lovely to see staff supported by management. The price was reasonable too. Always a delight and happy to return.

Great atmosphere, Emily C gave us such friendly and personable service! Food was amazing, really enjoyed the pasta.

Emily C our server was fantastic, and the food was decent!

Seating area was good, food and service was great, waiters were helpful and friendly

Lovely to be served by Emily C this afternoon, really friendly and happy which always makes for a lovely meal. Excellent service and made good recommendations.

We were served by the super bubbly and cheerful Emily C, and she is just fantastic, always so polite and welcoming, personable, and friendly. Exceptional service as ever. The food was absolutely delicious, we couldn't get enough. This place has become a local favourite!

Kathy was very warm and welcoming & looked after us extremely well. We always enjoy coming and seeing her xx

We found it rather dark. The food was good, and our waitress was attentive, but there was very little atmosphere, and it was all a little hurried. It was also quite expensive

Thank you for great service and a great meal.

Good food, Emily C is a good and friendly waitress. I would absolutely visit again!

Excellent meal as always and excellent service too from our server Emily.

Kathy our server was brilliant 😊

Really nice food and excellent service. We also liked the new menu also.

New menu and food was great lots to choose from. Server was friendly and very helpful with everyone's needs.

Callum was a fantastic waiter the food was lovely and we were really looked after. The new menu is great

Jennifer was really friendly and helpful x

Lovely Sunday lunch with helpful staff

Not very busy on a Monday evening so understandable that the salad cart was running low on certain popular choices. We turned up late for our 18:30 booking but were happily accommodated and the lack of the salad cart options were absolutely made up for by excellent service from Lucy and a good standard of food as expected from The Harvester chef team. Thanks for an enjoyable evening spent at your restaurant!

It's good to get there early as the service is a lot quicker than usual. Food was tasty and the fruit was very fresh.

Attentive staff, particularly Kathy and great value food.

Lovely service from our waitress Kathy

Go regularly on the weekend for a while now, great experiences, Josh C & Esme were serving us the last few visits

Excellent service to us with wheelchair access. Ribbs was unacceptable and changed for chicken at no charge. Enjoyed the rest of the meal.

Fab food excellent service from callum xand friendly

The food wasn't great at all! Salad bar practically empty and what was left looked less than appetising. Starter sent back, mushrooms cold and watery! Waited over an hour for our mains, rotisserie chicken nice but felt like it had been sitting waiting to be served a while! Sasha our waitress was nice and helpful, shame about the food, really poor!

Kathy was super helpful and kind! Really enjoyable meal!

Our waiter Callum was an absolute delight!! Such a pleasant young man.

Again another great meal and experience thanks to Kathy providing A* service and one of the reasons that keeps up coming back.

Amazing service from Callum on Monday night

Some very nice food with some great service for Callum who helped with my picky ordering

Our server was Callum he was attentive and efficient lovely person

Callum was really kind and looked after us well. The food was nice and the atmosphere we also had a voucher which made it even better

Callum was very polite and very helpful such great service from him and food was very good and very quick thank you so much x

Dreadful, salad bar was virtually empty. My grandsons burger came out in a burnt black bun had to send it back. My gammon was tasteless and tough, the onion rings undercooked and squirted out fat when tried, peas were washed out and everything tasteless. Other Harversters are much better so will avoid this one totally.

Waited 45 minutes for drinks from ordering them. Garlic bread was unappetising to look at and wasn’t touched by the diners. Cheese plopped on top was congealed. No tartar sauce for the haddock & chips.

Callum was ‘Amazing’ made our evening very enjoyable and was incredibly attentive. Thanks Callum 😊

server callum was amazing and very helpful 😊

Very good you have a gem in callum nothing was to much trouble for him with us and with people around us. Would go back just for his service

Our host Emily C was very attentive with a great personality, food was tasty and the atmosphere of the place was good! Definitely recommend 😁

Food & drinks here are good, staff are great but avoid staying at the Travelodge Havant Rowlands Castle behind this Harvester, you'll be very disappointed. The Harvester drinks were great, service was really good. Food was really good too except one incident where a side offering of baked potato was presented with a black & off potato, which the kitchen could clearly see when they put it on the plate. It was end of service for lunch & I think they didn't care anymore. Thankfully the waiter organised an alternative side dish for me, before the kitchen staff packed up. Despite this, I really really liked the food & ate here several times.

Lucy our server was super friendly and helpful, great service :)

Callum was a very attentive and jovial member of staff making our dining out experience all the more enjoyable.

Excellent service by Lucy. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Great food and service from Kathy. The choice was good, the food was lovely and arrived promptly. Really added to our stay in Portsmouth. We had dinner the night before and again, good service and more interesting menu than us often found. We can definitely recommend the skewers- and the waffles!

Fantastic location, amazing service and mind blowing food. went as a group of 4, we all had different meals and all were cooked to perfection.. whilst the restaurant was packed. Free refills on drinks, unlimited visits to the salad bar, good music.. just such a resounding success of a restaurant. Normally i dont agree to tips, but everyone in our group including myself were more than happy to contribute to tipping for the really enjoyable experience provided. 10/10 5*s
