Harvester Beacon Quay in Torbay

always a brilliant time, especially when we have carol as our server

End of a Sunday night place was winding down to close up but the staff couldn't do enough to sort us out . Great service

As always absolutely great meal in a great location overlooking Torquay Marina

Form the time we entered to the time we left Jo was very helpful and attentive. She dealt with my daughters peanut allergy efficiently and gave very clear instructions on how to log on to the WiFi. An overall good experience made better by Jo.

Came for an anniversary meal. Really good food and fair priced.

Our waitress Jo was lovely and very efficient.

They were very busy but still the service and food was spot on. Everything cooked perfectly, the salad bar kept well stocked. The toilets were clean.

Today I had my food served by a very polite young woman called Ellie. She had very good manners and made sure we were all sorted with what we had ordered. The food was very good I had a classic chicken burger with chips which was enough to fill me up.

Great place to eat in the heart of Torquay.

This place doesn't deserve the 1 star rating, to be honest...Terrible food. I would describe it as slop. Explained my disappointment to a member of staff, her response was to literally justify the sorry state of the meal. To be dismissed like this, as a paying customer, is absolutely shocking. I wish I had kicked up more of a fuss, but I guess I'm too kind. Our waiter couldn't even hide the fact that his shift was a hard one, but at least he made up for it by squriting his co-worker with the anti bac spray right by our table. Fun times. The salad bar was pitiful. Scraping the barrel for scraps. Honestly, the worst place. We absolutely regret going there. Harvester, you should feel embarrassed by your staff and the food that you have served to us. I would NOT recommend going here for food!

Visited today had cod chips and peas and pint Carling Chunkiest fish I've ever had anywhere and I did struggle Some if the chips were a little crispy but apart from that it was lovely and also a great view of the harbour

Came in on the spur of the moment. Was given a table within minutes. Salad bar was delicious, would love some more fruity bits, but the Pineapple is delicious. Ordered from the £8 chicken deal, (which was a lovely surprise) The waffle was dry and rather hard, the chicken was fine. When we had finished we felt a little rushed to pay, but otherwise service was good.

Even though they were short staffed, food was amazing and service with a smile.

45 minute wait for food, normally wouldnt have minded but we were going to the theatre so had to leave in a rush. If we'd have been told that we wouldnt have ordered. Loo floor really sticky no soap in dispenser. The lady who seated us was not particularly welcoming. Won't rush back..

Went in here with my partner, food was so good, was served by a lovely lady called Carol, a credit to Harvester, nothing was too much trouble, thank you Carol

We love coming to the harvester (me and my daughter) especially when Carol is our server. Her customer service is 5 star, she always takes care of us. We also love the salad bar!

Carol was absolutely lovely and very bubbly! Definitely felt welcomed

You have to go early in the evening to get 1983 combo as they sell out quickly. The server Carol is very friendly and helpful.

Great views of the Harbour, and Carol was a delight for the whole evening!

One of the best places for a elevated view of the harbour.while having a drink

Felt sorry for the young lady at front of house, she was serving customers behind the bar, cleaning tables, checking people in, serving food, when the did arrive it wasn't worth the hour wait.

Kasia looked after us very well, what a lovely evening we had.

Fantastic food and service and carol was Fantastic

The salad was fairly empty. No sauces and the bread rolls tasted like yesterday's. The server Kasia was very polite and attentive. Used an £8 voucher off the app..

Jo was very friendly and welcoming

Lovely food server told us about discount

Thanks, JO, for mentioning the app and helping me use it. Great service, JO was very kind and helpful. Good food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Rich are waiter fast, efficient, friendly always with a smile . Needs a pay rise before you lose him!!!!!!

We had a lovely experience with our waitress Jo she was a star

Food was delicious and Carol was fantastic.

Well, it's a harvester... I should have gone for something stodgy with chips. Play to their strengths. But I ordered a pasta dish. It's what I fancied. And the meal I was presented with would have been lovely.... if it was a £2.50 Tesco's finest ready meal. But for £15? a bit disappointing..... Staff were really friendly and great with our toddler. The salad bar was good. Had to wait 30min+ from ordering to service (toddler ate all emergency snacks, and even some salad...) Had good allergy awareness and gluten free options. Lovely views too. Overall, it was 'fine', but the price tag was certainly above the rather ordinary offering.

Very enjoyable restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, the services from Carol was excellent, food was lovely, would definitely go back when in the area.

Really disappointing service and food

As a diner of one, I was made to feel very welcome, the staff were lovely and welcoming, especially Kasia who looked after me from drinks to my meal. The customer service received from Kasia was excellent and I would certainly visit again when in the area. Thank you.

Lovely host carol cool tattoos too food was great amazing ribs

We love the harvester in Torquay & it’s especially nice when the lovely JO is there , she’s so lovely , kind & caring & she is always very helpful & is very professional at her job , by far Jo goes that extra mile by helping us with the offers on the app … Jo is the best & a real credit to the business … well done Jo & a BIG thank you for all your amazing service … see you again soon Kylie & Dave 💕

Food was brilliant, really good quality, friendly staff and great views.

Had a lovely meal, Carol was fantastic, very friendly, helpful and considerate of my dietary peculiarities due to reactive hypoglycemia. My ribs were gorgeous and she helped me set up my App to register for rewards. Nice view across the bay, would absolutely return!

We were a table of 8 and all of our food was perfect. Mike our server was amazing and couldn't do enough for us.

We have just finished our meal at the Harvester on Beacon Quay. Super food at a great price but the standout mention has to be awarded to our waitress - Carol! She was amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful with making decisions. If only all front of house staff were this good!

amazing place carol was such a good host she made my little boy feel welcomed and had a wonderful food here aswell

Visited restaurant this evening, shown to our table and greeted by our waitress Carol who took our drinks order whilst we chose our meal options from the menu, Carol explained the restaurant was on a new menu and highlighted the new choices on offer. Our food came out shortly after the order was taken and was excellent, hot, well presented and tasty. We have to compliment Carol on the level of service she gave not only to us but all the other diners in her station, very attentive, and interacted with all diners. Would like to say “Machos Gracias” We will look forward to book again on our next visit to the area. Thanks again Jon & Julie Morgan From Cardiff

A very enjoyable meal, with good service and a very pleasant location.

Excellent especially service from Stefan.

Good food, excellent friendly service by Carol and we had the sun shining on us. Always love the views from this restaurant.

Very very slow service. I have actively avoided Harvesters for years and this recent visit cemented my opinion that they are the worst chain in England and the price is noe ridiculous, you could almost be forgiving before because it was cheap(ish) but not a chance now. Beers all tasted off, bartender couldnt even tell me when the lines where last cleaned, not a good sign at all. Food came out. Half my chips where dark brown the other very pale, so theyve mixed uo old and new and god knows how many times they had been re-dunked. Clearly not a care in the world if you cant even get chips right. Never again.

Very good meal and thank you to rich he was such a good server and really nice guy.

Food took about 40 minutes to arrive and was warm rather than hot. Tasted ok and service ok.

We have had a lovely meal and received fantastic service from Kasia, thank you. would definitely recommend. 😊

Wheelchair friendly, with a good disabled toilet.

Myself and my husband came in last Thursday whilst on a stay cation for his birthday. Carol was our server and she was lovely and friendly. She helped us download the app to take advantage of the offers. Will definitely return when we are back in Torquay.

Fantastic service atmosphere and food. The Rotisserie chicken was sublime and the service given by Stefan was second to none. Bubbly helpful and great information as we are first time visitors to Torquay . Would highly recommend

Fantastic service and lovely smiley waiters

Lovely cooked food, had the halloumi skewers made by your chef ally which was phenomenal! One thing that would of made my meal better is if the halloumi was fryed not grilled! Rich our waiter has been lovely and made us feel very comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed:)

A lovely lunch friends made even better by the service from Stefan, who was really friendly and helpful! Food was good and great value.

Carol our assistant was very attentive and efficient. Food was lovely and pretty hot, arrived quickly. Decent menu with plenty of choice for both food and drinks. Beautiful location and plenty of space inside, nicely decorated too. Would definitely recommend!

Friendly service from Carol! Quick service and clean food areas. Great choice in the salad bar, fresh and well stocked.

We have been here two days in a row and both times we were served by amazing staff with excellent customer service. Food was hot and delicious.

Excellent meals. Very hot. Speedy service. Love the salads! My partners steak was spot on. Very tender. We were served by Jordan. Very kind and helpful.

Visited the other day, was quite disappointed, I had to find the waitress to order our food, the salad bar was mainly empty, my chicken burger was awful, it was burnt, hard and I couldn't eat it, the chips were old and hollow, we are regular customers but not anymore unfortunately.

Carol was an excellent host - excellent steak 🥩

Another fantastic meal at Harvester! 5 of us came for lunch last Wednesday to celebrate my brother's 39th birthday, my brother has special needs with low functioning autism and severe learning disabilities, our server was Steff and he couldn't of been more friendly, accommodating and interactive with him, he's made a new best friend for life! The whole team made the occasion very special for us all. The food was prompt,delicious and good value, we all left very happy with full belly's and a lovely memory was made so thankyou guys, keep up the good work :)

Jamie served us and was very friendly. The food was good and we had a lovely time.

Our server Carol was lovely from start to finish .. Food was good .. Was visiting for a couple.of days and enjoyed 2 evening meals

Served by a excellent lady named Jo she knew her stuff was very pleasant and made sure we got the best deal a credit to the harvester. Food was good, service was good atmosphere was good.

Great service lovely freshly cooked meal

Jo the waitress was amazing and attended everything we asked for and did so with a great smile. However the women who met us at the door when waiting to be seated was very aggressive and not very welcoming. Other than that the food was nice and at a good price.

Staff were struggling to keep salad bar restocked. Moaned when I asked for bread rolls.long wait for food and chicken was over cooked. No coleslaw with meal. Person serving was negative about our dog. Requested that we moved him out of the way as she was afraid of dogs. Nobody checked that food was ok.

Our server Carol really looked after us on a very busy night.

Great service from Jo. Very warm welcome and great food with a great view of the Harbour. Thank you

Today on a busy Saturday lunch time we were served by Jo who was wonderfully helpful in her menu knowledge and the deals on the app and getting us the best deals and service and was patient with me two sen children who took a little while to pick and when asked went quiet, brilliant service would 100% come back.

The food was lovely and did not take long to arrive. Our server Jo was really friendly and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again.

Great food, great service and Carol looked after us for the evening, great attention to detail , very good service . 😃

Jamie our server was polite and efficient

My Best Breakfast Spot in Torquay. Thank you so much Sammy for today.

Lovely view of the Marina, lovely food and very friendly staff, Jo made us feel very welcome.

Overall nice experience, the beef burger wasn’t the most tastiest, however it’s great value for money. The rest of the food was good. Jo served us who gave us a comforting & pleasant experience, even though she was very busy!

Food was great and Jo ,our waitress, was a star!

Brilliant service Thankyou! Our waitress was Jo

Went in for an early dinner with a few mates. The vibe of the restaurant was nice and relaxing which was only made better by the fantastic service we received from our waitress Carol. She was roughly 5’9 with visible tattoos. Nothing was too much hassle and she made me feel assured that my allergy was taken seriously. I would highly recommend this venue for the food and amazing service.

Service was amazing from as soon as we came through the door right down to as we were leaving. A special mention to Carol who could not have been nicer thank you.

Lovely food. Rich, our waiter, was friendly, efficient, had a big smile, and was full of energy! A very pleasant evening. Thank you and God bless!

Great service by rich thank you for a pleasant visit Great food thank yoi

Lovely fresh salad food fresh cooked to order so a bit of a delay waiter Rich was excellent very attentive polite and efficient nothing was too much trouble he had time for all customers

Thank you to Carol for excellent service.

Food was delicious and our waitress was lovely (we didn’t get her name)

Great choice of food, free unlimited salad is such a big plus and acts as a big incentive for me to come here. Staff are helpful and courteous. Can see that it is a great place for famirs with kids

My wife and I turned up without a reservation on a busy Monday lunchtime, and the staff did all they could to fit us in. Our server, Jo, was really friendly and attentive. The food was great, as was the choice of drinks. Would definitely go back.

I've been to a lot of harvester restaurants. This one was definitely the best. The man who took our order was friendly and funny and very welcoming really quick service and lovley food

Jo served us and she was very efficient in checking everything as a member of our party had food allergies. Very friendly and welcoming

Jo was absolutely brilliant, answered any questions, full of smiles very professional and food was awesome!

Had the best service and food from chef travis and Jamie was our server.

We came for an early lunch an really enjoyed everything. There were so many interesting options in the menu. When our food came out it was delicious. So good in fact I forgot to take any pictures. Our server Jordan Cleverly was friendly and attentive. A great experience all round

Very friendly team and lovely atmosphere.

Great food and atmosphere. The staff were lovely and helpful. Will definitely be back again soon!

Delicious food and amazing service at the Harvester Torquay. Jo and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The menu had good choices and the portion sizes where very good.Will definitely go back and do not hesitate to recommend.
