Harvester Bybrook Barn Ashford Kent in Ashford

Wonderful staff. My waitress was Sam and she made me feel like I was her only customer. She answered all questions I had on the Gluten Free foods they served. My food was lovely and my daughter enjoyed hers. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Such a lovely place with very nice service amd delicious food. Highly recommended.

Amazing food Amazing ambience and some Amazing staff especially Samantha Lee

Always pleasant, good food for a fair price.

We attended tonight, we had Sam serve us, she was lovely, friendly and personable. 10/10 service and will be back.

Always take good care of my 88yr old mum, she loves the chat with the waitress even tho they're always busy, they make time for her

Birthday lunch for family. will not go again. bad service from the start

Sam was an amazing waitress. Good food and great vibe. I will return

Great food and great friendly and helpful staff.

Disappointed with my meal as the chips were cold although the kebab was acceptable.

We came for a birthday meal last week and had a fabulous time! Sam was our server and was amazing!

Usually a lovely meal, but yesterday I had simply chicken, it was disgusting, gravy really salty, couldn’t complain as it was a treat! Would definitely think twice before returning

The lady that served us was very very helpful , the service was the best part

In less than a year we have been there 3 time 1st time was fantastic 2 time was ok but they was taking the rubbish thew the restaurant past my table 3 time the steak was awful now deside will not go there again

Had the place to ourselves and it was my birthday! Lovely food, fully stocked fresh salad bar and great service!

Lovely meal - brilliant service by Josie

Excellent service today by Josie, very friendly and helpful. Food was also brilliant.

Josie was very attentive, amazing service that you don’t get much anymore! Thank you

Really great breakfast and great service from Josie, thank you!

Terrible visit. Wished we had left after first server walked away and rolled her eyes after we asked for water. After talking to another who had no clue about menus and the last server telling us discounts were on an app but too late for our lack lustre meal.Salad bar not well stocked and grubby. Not worth the money.

Trish our server was great, and the food was great too!

Great service from Karen and delicious food!

Not having booked a table, we were 'Walk Ins', yet were treated as if we had booked in advance. Explaining about a medical condition (Photosensitive Epilepsy), we were seated in an area that was safe for my wife. We then met Trish, our waitress. Trish was lovely, she not only took our order, including food allergies, but delivered our 'Refillable Drinks', explained about the Salad bar etc etc and without being invasive she regularly checked that everything was okay and that we were happy etc. In short. good food, value for money and thanks largely to Trish, excellent service.

Visit the harvest often with my sister for lunch, always friendly and relaxed atmosphere, all waiting staff are all friendly and welcoming. Our server josie was AMAZING! Her humour and calmness made our experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you Josie you rockstar!!!!

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, especially Josie 👍

We had a yummy lunch, our server Trish was lovely and was great with my daughter!

Food on menu has changed considerably, prices have increased. Overall Harvester is not longer an affordable location to take a family.

The food was nice, but when it was delivered it was cold.

One of our party has very recently been put on a very strict allergen diet. The host who served us, Sam, went above and beyond what was asked of her to help my friend find something to eat.

Fantastic service from Tanya. Lots of allergies and intolerances to juggle and did so with aplomb

I recently dined at The Harvester, and I had a fantastic experience! Our waitress, Sam Lee, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was delicious with a great variety of options. I highly recommend the Harvester for a delightful dining experience. Thank you, Sam Lee, for making our visit so enjoyable!

We recently enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at the Harvester Bybrook Barn in Ashford. Between the three of us, we all opted for the full English and were really impressed with the quality of the food. It was cooked perfectly, and the portion sizes were generous – just what you need to set you up for the day! We also appreciated that we could make changes to the standard breakfast to suit our individual preferences. What really elevated our experience, though, was the exceptional service we received from our server, Trish. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering helpful recommendations. Nothing was too much trouble, and she really went the extra mile to ensure we had a pleasant experience. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with our visit to Harvester Bybrook Barn. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service from Trish was outstanding. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Harvester to anyone looking for a top-notch breakfast in Ashford. We'll definitely be returning to this Harvester again soon, and hopefully, Trish will be there to look after us!

Staff here are lovely, really friendly and helpful. Our server was quick to tell us what offers we could take advantage of which we really appreciated- wouldn't have known otherwise and always happy to save a few quid! The food itself wasn't amazing; the salad bar has massively gone down hill which is saying something. Our main meals were both lukewarm when they arrived at our table. My steak skewers tasted odd, they'd definitely used a very cheap cut of meat so they were really chewy. We've been here a few times and know not to expect anything amazing with Harvester but the standards really have dropped which is a shame. Let's hope it was an off-day!

It's not like it used to be. The salad bar was pretty empty, no-one was refilling as the 4 staff and manager were serving tables. The food came out within minutes , ribs and rotisserie chicken. So pre cooked and warmed over the bbq. Chicken skin wasn't crispy, ribs are barely coated in sauce. But, in today's standards, where staff are at a minimum, and margins are tight, the food is still pretty good, very tasty and succulent.. We had a buy one get one free, so even better. Would we give again? Yeah,with a voucher.

Great breakfast will come again

I could not asked for more. Milly gave I and my friends a seven star treatment today as always. Much appreciated Milly

Millie was the host test with the most test very friendly couldn’t do enough for us. My friend was particular about his steak. She made sure it was served perfectly. We had a good time and would recommend this restaurant.

We came to harvester whilst visiting family and had a brilliant time! Harvester is a family favourite and Bryony; who was our server was amazing! We will be sure to visit again ☺️

Food was nice and tasty, came quick and warm. Service was friendly, Sam was great! Hopefully your eye heals up quick!

Lovely meal at Harvester, waitress Sam was fabulous, very attentive and food was delicious. Will definitely visit again!

Our waitress, Sam was very good. She explained everything and was very attentive. The meal was lovely and fresh. Always love a salad bar too. We will be back.

Amazing experience. One of the best experiences I have had at a harvester. Made even better by Sam, who was very friendly and happy to help with any questions or requests we had. Highly recommend. Again, especially thanks to our waitress, Sam.

The waitress Sam was amazing and friendly. Food was quick and good.

My Aunty and I dined on 13.10.24 for her birthday. Our waiter was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and he was charming and professional throughout. The food was delicious and my Aunty even had a candle to blow out on her mini banoffee waffle. A thoroughly lovely evening thank you.

Today we came in for lunch, Sam was a fantastic server, helped us through the new menu ( some people don't like chillies) made sure that we were happy with food. Sam was informative, friendly and great customer service. The food was delicious and hot, enough time in-between courses too! Definitely will come back again!

Tanya and Sam were great. Very professional and welcoming. Food was great and fully accommodated to the table intolerences. Would definitely come again.

We had breakfast at Harvester’s Bybrook Barn, and Sam and hey sister Tanya, made our experience absolutely delightful! They were attentive, friendly, and their energy brightened up our morning. From the moment we sat down, she made sure we were well taken care of, with impeccable customer service and a great sense of humour. Their genuine care and attentiveness didn’t go unnoticed, and we left with smiles thanks to them. Highly recommend asking for Sam or Tanya when you visit – they'll make your dining experience even more enjoyable!

Great breakfast, eggs Benedict were on point, Sam & Tanya were very friendly and attentive. 10/10!!!!

We have been a few times recently and it's always a positive experience. Served by Sam each time who is a credit to you. She is always friendly, attentive and goes above and beyond.

We booked for a fairly large table for my daughter's 14th birthday. Sam was amazing. Nothing was too much effort even when 2 guests had to leave suddenly. Both meals were boxed up so they could enjoy at home. Sam came out with another staff member (I didn't get his name) with a bowl of ice cream with a candle singing happy birthday which was very unexpected and a lovely addition to the evening. The food was amazing as ever aswell. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Sam has been our waitress the last 3 times we have visited and never disappoints. Thank you

Sam, our server was great.. Always happy and upbeat...Food was good and got a booking last minute which was good.. Unfortunately our son was feeling unwell, but Sam was happy to pack his food and take it with us, once me and my wife had finished..

Sam was amazing. She couldn’t do enough for us .

Security labels on bag were open, the delivery guy seemed very unhappy

Quite liked harvester before they changed the menu. The new menu is awful. Luckily they still have the items from the old menu.

Our waitress Sam, was amazing, Thankyou very much

Lovely restaurant, staff always happy and cheerful, everyone always goes above and beyond. 5* thank you ❤️ Ellie also makes a lovely coffee thank you

Very, very disappointing. 10 mins to take a drinks order, another 15 mins to order food. Ordered food then had to wait for salad bowls. Salad very nice. When food eventually arrived the waiter didn't remove the salad bowls. Drinks glasses sat at end of table for the whole mealtime, waiter didn't come over and check everything was alright or to check if we wanted more drinks.

Dirty! Found a salt packet in my 2yr olds beans

A really nice venue with great staff.

Food used to be really nice, and although the food is still good I feel its lowered abit in how good it was.

What a lovely experience. The service received by Neross was wonderful so bubbly and attentive. The new menu had a lot of choices and flavours to choose from. The only negative of the experience was it was not specified that there was an extra charge for the sweet potato fries but other than that a lovely meal out

Salad bar good though iceberg lettuce as usual was tasteless. Service by Sam C was great. Very enjoyable and good value.

Our server this morning (02-10-24) was Trish. she was absolutely amazing!! She was very welcoming and the service she provided us today was above and beyond. very friendly and very happy and smiling!! The food was delicious and fresh!

Enjoyed the food we had, but not enough choice of main meals and too much fast food choice.

Despite being late all of the side orders were missing.

Ellie is amazing! nothing was too much for her and was very helpful answering any questions I had :)

Me and my partner came for dinner on a last minute booking a while back. We where greeted by Ellie and shown to our table. Her communication was remarkable, kindest person we encountered the entire night! The other staff were lovely but Ellie stood out. Even after we were seated and our server greeted us Ellie came to check if we were okay and that we had everything. Throughly impressed. And the food was delicious. If we have the time to go out for dinner we would certainly return! Thank you for making our experience one to remember Ellie :)

Great service and food, friendly and helpful waiter/server.

Unclean and dangerous. We visited for my son's 5 birthday. We have been previously but the place was filthy so we said we would not return - however we wanted to give it a second attempt and my son really wanted to go. BIG MISTAKE. Place is disgusting. We booked for 12:00 - toliets filthy - i had to clean the toliet myself before my daughter could use it, table dirty, floor sticky, bill came out on a bit tray caked with old food. Service was poor , waited a long time for even drinks. But worse of all - my 2 year old baked beans had a used salt packet inside them - a massive health issue as she could have eaten this ! We left our food at this point and didn't accept the ice cream included with the kids meals. How could we enjoy our food after that. Manager was too busy to speak to us when we complained to our server- they took £10 off the bill - really! More concerning for me if the cook didn't check the bowl is clean , could they be bothered to wash there hands ? Have good kitchen hygiene? I doubt it. This place cant do the basics right. What an awful birthday experience. We left without finishing our meals and won't be back . Don't make the same mistake we did - go somewhere else .... ANYWHERE else.

Went for dinner at 17:00 and was surprised how busy it was already given that's when they are open for dinner. Food arrived relatively quickly though. Waiting staff - whilst helpful are fairly busy so if you have any queries try and ask all in one go as you may be waiting a while before they manage to come back

Not only was the food top notch considering you had several meals with different criteria to cook but the waitress millie was an absolute darling and couldn't do enough for us.thank you harvester will definitely be returning. Cody keep welcoming people the way you do my kids and the wife and me felt really welcome. A+ to all great meal.

Had a really nice meal here. Parking was easy. It was busy when we arrived, but we wasn't waiting long before we sat down. We did book before we arrived and I would always recommend that as it was busy here for an evening meal. The bar area where you enter is very cute and quaint. Old barn style building with wooden supports everywhere, looks great and traditional. The restaurant followed the same theme. Where we sat was nice. The restaurant wasn't too noisy which was excellent, even with lots of kids here. Our server was friendly and efficient. Food came out relatively quick considering how busy it was. My only gripe was that the selection at the salad bar wasn't great. Lots of things missing that they offer at our local Harvester. Also there is only one self serve soft drinks machine, so every time I went to use it, I had to queue and wait. Only minor complaints, but overall it's a good Harvester and I would recommend it!

went for breakfast with my friend just was not good from start waited n waited got juice by the time it came ide drank juice eggs hard changed but bacon tom wernt hot tobe told they were changed but cold food and service not great for 850 was awfull

3 of us visited for a Christmas breakfast treat. I had the traditional breakfast & my 2 colleagues had the build your own breakfast. It was really lovely & I struggled to finish mine. Pre booking is recommended & so is a bank loan as I thought £36 in total was a tad pricey. Staff were super helpful and the venue is relaxing. I preferred it when the breakfast was buffet style self service but it's now table service. Update 19/09/2024. Great breakfast. Freshly cooked with quality ingredients. Reasonably priced considering the location. Far better than any greasy spoon.

We had milly as our server. She was so so lovely and patient with us ( a group of about 11 people) and made our night so much more enjoyable.

Great meal lovely waitress would happily be served by her again her name is Milly had a great time with my friends doing it again next month can't wait to come again.

Local to this restaurant, the kids love it and have never had a bad meal

I visit the restaurant quite a bit with family and friends and I must say that being ‘unhappy’ with either food or service hardly ever happens. Sometimes the salad bar could do with refreshing and cleaning a little more often. Today we had Sam.L and as always her level of service and friendliness is impeccable. This lady works incredibly hard, has many tables to look after and yet NEVER makes you feel that you are having to wait or being rushed. There are a few servers that regularly work here that make the visit more enjoyable. This is down to their fantastic personalities and how they look after us. Please look after these and all of your staff members Harvester and make them feel appreciated as they are the back bone to the restaurant. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to my next visit. Only quibble please cut up the peppers more on the salad cart as the pieces are huge.

We had sirloin steak and it was delicious. The gentleman that showed us to our table has been there for a very long time, he's lovely and always smiling. Makes you feel welcome. The price is very reasonable and always has been. Oh and the beef dripping gravy sauce is to die for!

Food was good friendly family atmosphere . Definitely not cheap but a good place gor a treat

It was my first time in a Harvester and it was excellent, I was there to celebrate a family member's birthday. The service was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect.

Absolutely lovely meal - amazingly large. Love the salad bar & re-fillable drinks too. Our server Josie was lovely - very attentive without being overbearing. Made us feel at ease.

Excellent food and service 40% off when 9 of us dining was huge

Always good service and good value for money.

Very busy but service was great and food came in no time

Salad bar has improved , nice selection, just wish Harvester would change their menus , they don't seem to have change for years

Had a great lunch at ByBrook Harvester today. Food was excellent but I just wanted to say thank you so much for the attention and service Sam (blonde) gave us. We were sitting on table 8 and she couldn’t do enough for us. She would be a massive reason why I would use Bybrook harvester again!

Been here a few times, always great. Milly was lovely and very helpful ☺️

The service was great the salad bar was great my main complaint is that all of our chips were cold

Great gluten-free options as always at Harvester, always great food, great service, and fast service. What more could you want

Lovely place for a birthday breakfast!

Went for breakfast on 3 consecutive mornings. Lovely lady served us on first 2 mornings. She was friendly and did a good job. On the Fri, she was off. The woman who was in charge that morning sighed when we asked for a table. Was totally opposite to previous mornings. She obviously wanted breakfast over and didn't want any more customers in. Breakfasts were very nice. My partner loved the fruit and pancakes each morning. The classic breakfast was also good. Nice to have a choice on how to have the eggs. Shame about the lady in charge on the Fri.

Had no bitter beer available ??

We shared a meal with our British family. All you can eat salad buffet. Hearty dishes and desserts. Waitress Milly takes great care of her. Family atmosphere. We already want to go back 😉

Very pleasant place to dine food is good large selection.. price's are very reasonable.

Milly was amazing! We visited with another family and she was outstanding. Extremely polite and friendly. She made our visit wonderful - highly recommend. Thank you Milly 😊

The beautiful barn converted architecture was always our family favourite. Food was wonderful, especially the roasted ribs, done to perfection. Cody who was looking after our table was funny, charismatic and considerate. A real wonderful staff to the restaurant. Will visit again

Very good staff are very friendly and professional

Dinner was great. Absolutely amazing service from the lovely Sam

Food was great. The waitress Sam was very kind and helpful!!!
