Harvester Coed-Y-Goras in Cardiff

Tonight we were served by Danielle. Everything was great. Food was amazing and service brilliant :) will definitely come again

Worst experience ever. My wife ordered chicken strips with sauce, to our surprize the food was couple days old. The sauce was watery and definitely not fresh, onions were at least days old. Also asked if the food is not spicy, they brought strips with added chilli bits on top. I kindly asked manager to refund or replace, manager was arrogant and ignored my request. At the end of the day we left it as there was no point in arguing, but the mood was ruined. To the bosses of the restaurant the dining took place 5th of October around 1pm. Avoid this place if you can! If I could I would leave zero stars!

Popped in early, no booking, yesterday evening for some food. We were quickly shown to a table. Our Server Caitlin came over very soon afterwards and took our drinks order and looked after us throughout. I have to say how nice and genuinely friendly she was without being over the top as is the case often these days. The food was bought to us in a reasonable time and was as good as could be expected. This Harvester is pretty close for us and we will definitely return and recommend.

Food was amazing and service was fantastic. All this and really well priced

To Sian, Extremely kind and helpful, lovely and humorous. From grace, the youngest and fussy one on the table by the salad bar and water and ice despenser.

Visited for a family meal, our host Kate was excellent. Kate ensured we were well looked after, food was lovely. Will definitely visit again

Lovely service from Kate, and tiff nothing was too much trouble, and they were very happy on there work place, food from Gareth and Bruno was spot on will be returning and recommending to others.

Lovely cosy atmosphere and was hot and delish! We went for a burger and rotisserie chicken. The starters were also delish.

Amazing service from Tiffany Thankyou for a great evening we really enjoyed lovely send off for a colleague thankyou again !!

Excellent service Excellent Food Are server Kate very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble would definitely becoming here again in the not so distant future 😀

Good pub food, the Harvester salad bar is always good. Staff excellent

Meals delicious especially the ribeye Service excellent Salad bar a disappointment/ very sparce & bland Children running around, felt like children's funhouse- noisy and unpleasant.

How times have changed, been coming to the restaurant on and off with family and friends for 30 years celebrating birthdays, special occasions or for a treat. In recent years the place is looking incredibly run down, dingy and untidy. Lights don't work, walls have paper and paint peeling off and don't get me started on the toilets, absolutely vile with the floor sinking. The service here has been incredibly poor over the past 5 years, slow service, staff to busy on their phones or talking to eachother near the kitchen about their daily lives rather than serving customers, actually heard two of the staff arguing with eachother about when one of them could finish and leave to pick up their kids. Then on more than a few occasions running out of food items like steak and chicken at 7pm on a week day! turning the coffee machine off at 7.30pm but still serving coffee to a regular who's sat in the corner reading newspapers after said time. Food is okay but lacking the portion sizes it used to be, the salad bar is very hit and miss with stuff mostly not being replenished or having to ask a someone if they will. All these issues coupled with your new price increases on your menu where most meals have gone up around 20% I think is disgraceful. There are far better alternatives for eating out without any of these problems at a more affordable price and for that reason I won't be back. Such a shame harvester! You were once a great family restaurant but no more.

Airways great value when you get their app. Sometimes you can get 40% off mains. With the unlimited salad and bread... What's not to love. Some to all the staff. They had a lot of time for us. It made a difference.

Food okay, desperately needs a refurb

We had a great food, brilliant service from Carly.

Food was great. Staff were friendly. The place needs a bit of a re-vamp - it's a bit rundown.

Visited this restaurant recently and just wanted to post about the service we received from our waitress. She was amazing! Helpful, polite and very patient! She deserves a shoutout! Chelsea ☺️

Our server Kayleigh was amazing, we went for my sisters 18th birthday and she was amazing, joking with us and still serving other tables effortlessly. The food was amazing as always and we will definitely be back again.

Kate was an amazing waitress who went above and beyond to make sure our time at the restaurant was the best

Our server Kate was absolutely fantastic, always up for a laugh and can't do enough for us. Great food, great service, great place.

Served by Sian, really happy to see these guys by my Travel Lodge. Lovely dinner and a beer to wash it down with. Many thanks Sian.

Great service from kayleigh, friendly and efficient. Will be visiting again

Food was flippin awesome. Great job by Sian

Bailey served us and was amazing, very friendly! Food was great

Delivery time kept getting delayed. It saying delivery at restaurant but i rang them and they said the order was ready but they were waiting for a driver. When my food did arrive it was cold and ended up.in bin . Chicken luke warm and cold

20/09/20 We were served by Sian she was brilliant she went above and beyond for my children, and made the experience great thank you 😊

This place needs a complete refurbishment interior and exterior looking very worn

A lovely meal made even better by amazing service from Sian. Only downside was the small portion size for the half chicken dinner but apart from that food was nice.

Very good service, right off the offset - Liv who saw us to our table was very understanding of our special requests and very helpful throughout. Tiffany, our server, was lovely and very helpful as well; even though it was a very busy evening and she had plenty of tables to wait herself, she was brilliant throughout. Not to mention the food was fantastic (highly recommend the Bird, Surf and Turf!) and wait times were minimal - definitely recommend.

Dan was brilliant! Will definitely return

Dan was absolutely fantastic with the hard work and effort he has shown and I never came across a more hard work worker before, he shows passion for the restaurant and it’s customers and spoke politely and was overall amazing.

Food was lovely. Staff were very over worked as it was very busy. They all looked like they need to take 5 minutes. Place was clean and tidy. The only thing I’ll say is we waited awhile to be seated as there didn’t seem to be anyone specific to greet us as everyone was so busy.

We were taken care of by Sian who was attentive without being overbearing and was warm and friendly. Salad bar was great as always but was low on sauces at the time. Food was its usual standard, my son loved his ‘dirty one’ burger. Apple pie wasn’t great but the waffle was. We used a 40% off voucher so it was a bargain evening out.

We were well looked after by Sophia. I had my usual, simply chicken which comes with a baked potato and my wife had the Mediterranean tart. I know it has been a while since we last came to Harvester and could not help noticing that whilst prices might have gone up, but, the size of the chicken breast was definitely smaller. My wife found that the tart she had was difficult to cut and the vegetables in the tart had something like what tasted like couscous as well as the vegetables. However, we enjoyed our food . Wife and I always enjoy Harvester’s as enjoy our salad with the meal.  We find the staff helpful and the restaurant ambiance just right. Would definitely recommend Harvesters.

Food was lovely and service was good, kids running unattended by salad bar was a bit much, despite being busy however there wasn’t a long wait for food which was lovely

Tif was a lovely friendlywaitress.

Fantastic food with the usual Harvester faux rustic interior decor, the staff are extremely helpful and attentive, we were served by Tiffany who was friendly and professional and helped us with anything we needed, would 100% recommend to anyone to pay a visit

Lovely food. Quick efficient service. Great for kids and of course the terrific salad bar.

Lovely staff and quick food. We're more than happy to accommodate food changes 😊 will be back!

Dissappointing. Was hoping for an improvement but it was worse

Whoever cooked our breakfast obviously loves cooking. Every part was done to perfection and I'm so glad we stopped by on the off chance. Thanks guys 😁👍

We booked our table for Midday The main meal was served at 12.40 ISH. It came out and most of it was cold.

parts of the order was missing

Kate is amazing very good service! Great food

Had a wonderful meal here. We were served by Sammie, who was a wonderful lady, so helpful and friendly.

We were served by Sian today, she was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Always good service here, would highly recommend

Food didn’t arrive! Said delivered restaurant said courier took food!

Sian was lovely and food was great

Only gave 3 stars as once again i was given peri chicken, which is way to spicy for me, thats why i always irder bbq, also only had 5 minute cracker jack prawns not worth money, not going to order again as dont like the fact you may get inedible food

Slow service, often visiting Harvester’s this has to be the worst one. Thinking maybe it was a one off after first visit, but now being the second time nothings changed, food is of a poor quality not matching the other branches.

Came over from hotel for a bit of breakfast for 9:20 just for them to not be ready, when we walked in they said the kitchen isn't even open and doors were supposed to be locked. Disappointing.

Excellent time was had. Great food, Great facilities and fantastic service. Our waitress Chelsea was brilliant, friendly and very helpful. A credit to you as an organisation. Highly recommend this venue. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Friendly staff and quick service. Lost a star due to not having one of the vegetarian meals available. Adequate parking which is usually 60% full. A pleasurable visit anytime.

Staff were great Restaurant could now do with painting or refreshing. Food was very good.

Quite a poor meal @ over £40 for 2 mains 1 cider & 1 j2o. I will not use a Harvester again.

We had takeaway, it's more limited than the main menu, which was annoying, but OK.

Served by Kate, lovely and helpful and never to much bother to call over for help. Had fish ans chip and I have to say, it was spot on!! Not over cooked nor greasy. Compliments to the chef jake. Keep up the good work 👏 What I like the most is, the staff remembered regulars/ customer dietary/ allergies that I over heard. It's the little things that count. Thank you guys, I enjoyed the whole experience. I will return !

Excellent service from our server sammie looked after our needs including allergies and very understanding excellent service

Good tasty food, attentive and polite service from Kayleigh. Restaurant was clean and tidy. All very reasonably priced.

I’d like to thank Olivia and amazing team for putting on a small wedding reception for me and my husband who is very ill. I was overwhelmed with the hospitality and kindness they showed us and the flowers and card and champagne from the team. It couldn’t have gone any better. I only gave short notice and it was done perfectly for us. We also went the following week for my daughter’s 18th birthday which again was all perfect. The meals were amazing and the staff were once again great so thankyou Team Harvester I’m sure we will be back soon x

We went out for a birthday meal and was served by Chelsea who was very helpful and quick with the service, been here a number of times and always have a good experience. Thank you all.

Welcomed and seated in good time. Served quickly. Salad bar restocked and fresh. Food came quickly and was lovely. We were served by Sian, very friendly and bubbly, an asset to your team!

Was shown to a table and order taken quite quickly. The food when it arrived was delicious. You are given a bowl to take to the salad bar and help yourself. A large choice was waiting including potato salad, coronation coleslaw, tomatoes, cucumbers, beetroot, bacon pieces, lettuce and much more too numerous to remember

Only two/three staff working . Was busy so quite a long wait to be seated & then ordered . Long wait - didn't matter too much as not in a rush just felt for the team. Food nice - some items cool in temperature but enjoyed ( just didn't eat those bits) Coffee not warm either. Would go back as a great selection - few tweaks needed though.

Me and my partner went here the other night, and what a let done it was. First off, the salad bar, which i used to enjoy, was messy, and half the salad was empty. Then, We waited an hour and 20 minutes for our meal. Can understand if it was really busy, but watching others arrive after us getting their food was annoying. After food, we waited 40 minutes for any staff, who seemed to have disappeared, leaving empty tables full of plates. We had to go and find someone to oder the dessert. 2 hours and 20 minutes it took for us to have our food. The half roast chicken I ordered was more like a Robin than a chicken.

The main was nice, the ice cream sundae was very watery , bland. The restaurant itself was dirty, food all over the floor, sticky table etc. No coffee/tea were available after the meal as they'd turned the machines off, this was 8 pm! We were told they start closing down that time in the evening, very disappointing. Wouldn't go there again. Very poor service.

Salad bar was the best bit of our night even if we had to wait a while for the bowls to be provided and the salad to be refilled, steak was cooked wrong, multiple items were forgotten and had to be asked for, waiting time was long and food came out luke warm at best, staff were rude and hard to flag down. Definitely gone downhill throughout the years

Not happy with todays service I’m not one to usually moan about anything but by god I would not recommend after attending here today with friends. I appreciate a place being busy I can truly understand there will be waiting times. However after ordering waited nearly an hour for our food to which tables who arrived after us were getting there plates on tables before us. When we did eventually get our food most of it other than the peas was either ice cold or Luke warm. We also were missing 5 plus things from the stuff we ordered and had to ask at least 4 times to which we were told each side would be an extra waiting time as they forgot stuff we ordered. Like I said wouldn’t usually complain about stuff or leave a review but for a meal that came to £130 for four us you would expect a bit of a better standard will not be returning in future

Absolutely awful experience! Rude staff, cold food, unacceptable waiting times. Will definitely not return! Cardiff bay Harvister is better by far!

Food was good. Good value for money

Had a lovely evening meal, with wonderful service by Chelsea. Thank you all!!

I was in for a breakfast and the food was very good and portion size was very good also... Our Server was Sammie whos very freindly, polite and helpfull also will definatley be back 🤙🏻🤗

Tucked away, if you like your Harvesters then definitely worth a visit here. Free parking onsite. Food was good and fresh, staff were very friendly and attentive.

Returned today and all was great! We bought Nan today and she was overwhelmed with the choice! Kate was great- thankyou :) I had mixed grill before which was great and looked to perfection especially the steak. Today I had halloumi flat bread and it was yummy and jam packed full of halloumi!

Freshest salad bowl bar I’ve ever seen in a harvester - staff super friendly (especially Carly) and welcoming and food great value for money.

Excellent service, food hot, tasty & fresh

none of our desserts or sides came and when we contacted harvesters we were told to contact just eat to go and pick up the rest of our order which we could not find a way to do.

Harvester has become a bit of a go-to since having kids - the unlimited salad bowls obviously a novelty! Coed-Y-Gores is good as they come. Sammy was great, and especially friendly to the kids!

Excellent food Excellent service

Our server Kate was brilliant while being rushed she couldn’t do enough

The service by sammie was very good, was very good at her job and brought the food fast

Food was good, our server Sammie was lovely, can recommend

The waitress was very friendly. Service was good. Food was very good.

Lovely day out my grandson loved it all round good

Loved my time at Harvester. My server Sammie was lovely and mine and my mothers meal came out perfectly. Very happy would come again

Staff were lovely. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Atmosphere was good.

Chelsea the waitress was very good at her job

Food is good but there were no chips with 1of the burger meals, no salads, so rather disappointed overall

Sian is lush. Excellent service ♥️

Just what you need after a long day. Great food, a nice cold beer and excellent service from Sian. Thank you.

Please be cearfull eating at this harvester in Cardiff Coed Y Groes as they try to rip you off all the haveraters I've been to have served to skewers have two of them they only serve one and when you go on a set menu they will try and make you pay full price the staff have no idea what there doing here too....please becearful at these place but will report this to traiding standards as being a chef my self for 14 years I've never experience such bad service they letting this company down and staff need taraning as it's worst I've ever seen in my life very very unprofessional 🤬🤬

Great service from tiff. Good food and drinks delivered quickly and served well Salad bar a nice addition as always nice relaxed atmosphere

Booked with family for an evening out. Good food, fast and friendly service from Tiff, really liked the treacle dessert and ice cream : )

Not a great experience. The waitress who greeted us grimaced and eye-rolled when looking for a table to seat us at, we had pre-booked, it then took around 10 minutes for a drinks order to be taken and another 10 for food orders to be taken. Starters were quite quickly out but between starters and the main course (roughly 80 minutes) the bottomless drinks machine broke down and this wasn’t communicated - we ended up paying for bottles of soft drinks which we had to go and get from the bar as the waiting staff were too busy to return to the table. When mains finally came out, over an hour after starters, we still had empty drinks glasses and the plates from our starters on the table. One of our main courses was wrong, but this was quickly rectified. The food was nice, and our waitress was also friendly unlike the host, but she was so rushed off of her feet that the service was lacking. The restaurant area is nice however the toilets are in dire need of an upgrade. The sinks are covered in flakes of paint that have flaked away from the walls and not been cleaned up, and the hand dryer was practically ornamental. Overall this is probably the worst restaurant experience I have ever had and I would not consider returning, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anybody, but I do feel for the staff as they are clearly understaffed and under resourced.

Dropped a star because I was given spicy hot chicken, when I asked for barbecue, so couldn't eat them, rest of food was great

Chicken special day where all chicken dishes are £8 and you still get a visit to the salad bar to fill your plate once twice or even three times with the healthy options while you wait for your main course. Good value

We had Dan as our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic. So helpful, so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Best experience we have had in Havester!

Great staff and food was good as well!

Sam was be try lovely. Nice food. Great service.
