Harvester Cricketers Croydon in Croydon

Had breakfast hear very good. Great service really good price would highly recomend

Excellent classic breakfast enjoyed very much service and atmosphere five star will be back again soon

Food and staff are wonderful and would highly recommend this Harvester!

This Harvester could be brilliant but is always understaffed and today was exceptionally bad. The staff who were working were pushed the limit and were trying their absolute best to meet customers needs but there were big delays and queues at the bar and customers were being turned away. What is head office doing to assist? How awful for a business to turn customers away. Head Office should be looking at ways to sort this out.

This place is very good and staff very friendly specially shajib thanks ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

Loved it 1st time for a breakfast very nice indeed. Would recommend it was easy to park. Tabby looked after us superbly

Had table for four booked. Arrived on time and shown to table without delay. Young waitress was soon over to take the order. We ordered drinks and main meal at same time. Drinks arrived soon after along with bowls for salad. Unfortunately it was 50 minutes before our meals arrived. Not sur8e if they were short staffed in the kitchen but my grandchildren were close to walking out. I noticed one man help himself to 3 bowls of salad whilst he waited for his meal. The waitress apologised for the wait which was out of her control.

Tabby, was great and very helpful, and made sure we were happy

Fantastic grub, great ribs and our waiter Michael was outstanding. Very attentive to my elderly mum.

Staff was very polite and attentive

Sanjiv and all his team were brilliant , thank you

Finally they change the staff at the bar and this place become friendly and welcoming. The girls at the bar Aba and the second one make me feel like at home. Food quality went up and finally this Harvester become more welcoming. Thank you 🙏😊

Nice service and our host ABA the best 🍻

Aba was really helpful and attentive to us

Rocki has a Very pleasant and a great personality

The pub side of the restaurant has dramatically improved since the replacement of the previous manager

Perfect place for breakfast lunch and dinner, service is really good you get your food on time

Informal, good value food, a no frills eatery where you can sit with family and feel relaxed!!

Gary goes above and beyond he always makes sure your meal is fine always makes sure if you need more drinks he is a credit to harvester make you feel so welcome he is the best member of staff

Gary was very wonderful helpful and polite and service was great throughout

Service was amazing by Gary! Food was great

Paula and the team looked after us well. The ribs and half rotisserie chicken was great

The food was average. I wasn't too impressed. I definitely won't be getting steak again. The drinks were nice. The service was rushed and stressful. The atmosphere was busy and okay. I don't think I'll be going here again in a hurry. Sorry. But thank you. 🙏🏻

Thank you Roxy and See for hosting our birthday meal of 25! Great service and very accommodating of our large table of children and adults

Really enjoyed the ribs good service with a smile.

I had a cornflake chicken fillet burger with onions rings & chips which was delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection & chips were nice with a little crunch. Service was a bit slow considering it wasn't full, but overall a good experience

We was served by Gary and they were amazing great dinner out with the family thanks to him

Great service from Abi the bar staff

Went for some small plates and a drink this evening and just wanted to write a review to say how wonderful our waitress was. Not sure of her name but she had lovely makeup and her hair in a pretty wavy bun! She was super friendly and helpful not to mention very impressively professional, she was hosting the entire section we were seated in and did a great job. Unfortunately some rude family got angry about not being able to put a chair at the end of their table (it was a pretty clear health and safety hazard) and tried to have a go at her but she handled them with such elegance and class and went straight back to her smiley self after! Will deffo be returning :)

I had a burger 🍔 not very nice not for me so I'll try something else

Fantastic service and food- Thank you to the kitchen team for the food, bussers and waitresses- molly, Cee, Sarah and Issy all very helpful - will be visiting again!

Amazing Restaurant , Very good food and Customer service! Molly , Cee, Sarah and Issy all very Accommodating - Thank you!

Always a great breakfast which we enjoy. Kasia is the perfect waitress.

Jennell provided amazing service for my family at my mum’s birthday. We all had a lovely evening!!!

Good food good time brilliant service from Issy🧡

Excellent service, ambience, service was great and they really catered to me and my family. Roxy went out of her way to make sure we was happy.. Will defo visit again..

Wsxelent service by Roxi made it very pleasent experience

Friendly welcome, efficient service- good food x

Understaffed and cold. Food is dry as paper had ribs ordered medium rare got charred cardboard, no follow up customer service mid meal as per normal- fine maybe understaffed - don't provide the service if you can't provide it properly, still waiting to get a new rack of ribs less dehydrated and chewy. Did not recommend coming here, regret coming back, stay away. * Edit got refunded money for meal, they don't do fresh food their food is precooked and warmed up/grilled so it would be impossible to get medium rare ribs, my request was unheard or overlooked on order as that's when the fine print would and should have been made clear, breakdown in communication. Staff handled unfortunate situation well.

I'm sorry to say that the food leaves alot to desire me and my wife both had brocoli and peas all seem very well done looked like mash brocoli the service we had to get to get our deserts overall for the price They can do much better . Ps and they where not busy.

Be careful what you choose to eat.

It was Valentine's day and no effort was made to the interior. Not one heart. still had some Christmas baubles on display. Other than that enjoyed the new additions of crunchy cornbread with honey and the cod tacos.

Came for a family meal having been a few times before. Very disappointed overall as the table was sticky, the cutlery was not clean and neither were our plates we were served on. The food itself was not great. Lacked flavour. Salad bar did not label ingredients of food that was not just a vegetable which I think is important for allergens. People with allergens should not have to avoid it all together. Staff were kind but the service was slow. Will not be returning to this branch any time soon.

Friendly staff. Had the mixed grill upgraded and busted me. Really well cooked. Defo go again.

value for money when they do deals

It was just a great time there Family and Friends I rate A five star

Lovely evening here, our host (Greg) was amazing. With the free salad, it's good value too.

4 of us had a very enjoyable evening meal at the Harvester. Gary, our server provided an excellent service.

Went to have breakfast with my sister and her kids. Lots of choice and a good menu. I ordered the classic breakage only for them to come back 10 mins late advising they have no scrambled egg but I can have poached or fried! I was baffled as was everyone else. Only to be told they but it in ready made and they had none in stock! This is madness it's not that hard to make on site! Having said all that the service was fantastic and the lady that served us was lovely.

I deducted one star for atmosphere because unfortunately we chose to visit on a Wednesday afternoon and it appears a particular family lunch there Wednesday weekly. We had the Misfortune of been seated behind them. They were atrocious. From the eldest to the youngest. Spoilt our otherwise lovely lunch.

Visited for early Sunday lunch. Kind staff and great food.

Nice Food cooked by bo and good service by kasha ans Gary

I was really blown away by the staff. I have a nut and seed allergy, and they were so helpful and reassuring, making my visit very welcoming and I felt at ease. Good food, cleanliness was good and the staff amazing Thank you 😊 And I purchased there famous "Kickin Garlic Sauce" so now I can have at home aswell 😋

Went here recently and had some very good hamburgers, fries and meals.Roxi served us pretty quickly and was very kind and friendly.Made our late evening great.We are looking to come back soon!

A bit cold sometimes when you pay high price for drinks But the staff are great considering they’re under pressure at busy period cannot fault them at all The food is as you expect in a chain nothing to complain about

There was no rotisserie chicken available, no top up drinks, with 4 bottles of coke left in stock. The waitress did really well. It felt like they'd run out of stock and wasn't able to go out locally to top up stock ready for customers

Good range of food. Great discounts for students. Great kids menu.

Bobby was amazing as for the other staff arguing and leaving poor Bobby to do everything

Very good service food was lovely had a good time

Table for 10, everyone enjoyed their Xmas meal spent a few hours there we opened all our Christmas presents, staff was friendly & patient, good service, food good, everyone happy

Pleasantly surprised with how well the food was. We had the chicken festive roast dinner (the Yorkshire pud and roast potatoes were excellent). For the price a good roast dinner and suggest that Harvester as a chain should introduce a Sunday roast to their menu. Overall good value for money as you also have access to the salad bar. Drinks also reasonably priced.

Great pre Christmas family meal

Good service and food couldn't ask for more thank you all.

Nothing was great. Was there from 6:30 pm to 9pm and we only had 1 meal each. Table of 12. No one asked if we wanted a starter or deserts. No one checked to see if we were happy. The bill came to £201. I was expecting and prepared to spend is essence of £300. Awful service.

Was really good 👍 nice food great service

REVIEW FOR THE HARVESTER'S FESTIVE MENU (DECEMBER, NOT INCLUDING CHRISTMAS DAY OR BOXING DAY) The good: Service was wonderful. Waitresses and bar staff were very personable and friendly. They rushed to help when a member of my family had a fall and were very caring. The salad bar is also lovely, and I like the fact it is included on meals over £7 in value. Didn't have the starter, as I had the salad instead. Lovely pudding, most of the family had ice cream. Staff very understanding with swaps, and the kids seemed to enjoy their brownie. The bad: The food, for the most part. In the roast dinner the turkey was dry and the broccoli was rock hard. The food that is advertised on the Christmas dinner promotion is also not what's included on the plate. Bizarrely, no sprouts? The toilets were lacking, with one of them failing to flush and the others being messy (not necessarily the staff's fault). Also the cheesy mushroom starter was grey and tasteless, which is bizarre as I have had it before and it was lovely. Perhaps it was just an off day, but it was completely unappetising. Overall: I enjoyed my experience and my meal, but several family members who had the roast dinner did not enjoy it. Maybe avoid the roast and go for the burger, which I had and enjoyed.

Excellent food, great service and a very festive ambience.

Good service , friendly staff, very nice meal

Food was ok Roast potatoes were disappointing, not real roasties seemed like frozen ones

Our waiter Roxi was amazing and she was very accommodating

I like ABA services she is very kind

Bo from the kitchen cooked the food very well and he is very friendly

Excellent breakfast served by Roxi very lovely lady very happy and polite great customer service.

Food is spot on every time, my waitress Roxi is lovely she's polite, always asking if everything is OK, overall have no complaints we will keep coming back here

Faith, was very polite and very welcoming when we was ordering food and drinks.

The chef called bo was very helpful when it comes to making sure the allergy is all good before sending them out.

Lovely little Harvester! Roxi was our server and was kind, warm and welcoming. It was nice and quiet for a late Sunday evening so the atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and we look forward to coming back again! Thank you Roxi for making our experience a good one!

Food was great. Excellent service from Jennelle

Lovely lunch with my bestie. Great place. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere

Perfect food and service, served by Roxy

Very nice meal with ample portions. Very attentive staff too.

Really lovely and quality breakfast. Staff were great although one person was manning the floor.

This Harvester is the best I’ve been in. The staff are excellent, very professional, especially Roxi . This lady is always there when needed, She is very friendly and makes sure you are always being looked after. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody.

Back in time was great ,but now a bit dated and tired, salad bar could be a bit better ,price's could be bit more reasonable and place needs deep clean bit corn bread taste of nothing baked potato hard half chicken not able eat properly because of silly new plate that are to small and the Christmas Dinner a waste of time hard veg and to little one carrot 12 peas not very much turkey not nice at all served on silly plate don't think I will ever go there again shame

Good customer service, Roxi is really helpful ☺️

Best service ever, Gary was very welcoming and the chicken was so succulent it almost melted in my mouth. The juices and seasoning was on point. Made me feel some type of way I never knew existed.

Been here a few times for various reasons, staff are great, nice place, always disappointed with the chicken sizes, three mouthfuls and it's gone, so I avoid that now, always come away a bit underwhelmed tbh. And I absolutely Hate the rectangular plates, just horrible.

Great service, food was tasty and the salad bar was well stocked

Food was excellent and staff were lovely and will go back again thank you.

My family paid a visit on Wednesday 6/11/24, the first time we had been in 15 years where we were once regulars. It was the perfect end to a hard and heart-wrenching day. The food was amazing and the Rocky Horror was just as indulgent as we remembered. A special mention to Mandy, our server. She was friendly, efficient and very patient with our large and slightly awkward order. I encountered a minor issue with my meal and she went above and beyond to make up for an issue that really wasn't that big of a deal to me. Thank you Mandy, The Chefs and the team who work to create such a warm and wonderful place

Service was good food was decent. !!!

It's a harvester, if you've been to one you know they are all very similar. The cricketers is a particularly good one though. Lots of parking, staff are professional and welcoming, food was good. Been a number of times and we will be going again. :)

Dale was very welcoming and served us quickly. Fun and chatty

Typical Harvester fare...good steak and pleasant serving staff. Went this evening with youngest daughter Chloe and my grandson Aiden and had an excellent meal. Grandson loved his child's steak and chips but the star of the show for him was his 'build your own sundae'!

We booked last minute and that was no issue. Dale greeted us and sat is down straight away and was very friendly and attentive. I don't usually like harvester for breakfast but my husband does but today the food was delicious! Thanks for a nice start to a day off

Convenient, good value, quick and efficient

Really nice breakfast visit. Server Dale was great. I know the restaurant runs minimal staff for the morning but we were never left to wait any undue length of time. Only loss of stars is not on my server but the restaurant could do with just upping the cleaning schedule. The pictures at the side of the table had dried food on them and the BBQ bottle came with a free head hair from a previous owner but nothing the waiting staff can deal with during play, defo something for the close or pre open walk around.

Dale gave great service and was flexible with our requirements.

Food was ok the kids ribs were cooked ok just abit more grissly than you would expect beans were abit dry and didn't taste that nice classic chicken burger could have done with abit more bbq sauce

12 minutes to place order, despite advising greeter that I knew what I wanted and was in a rush. Bargain price for bargain food - bonus was no food poisoning this time.
