Harvester Dog Redditch in Stratford-on-Avon

A lovely experience for a family celebration. Tonii, our waitress, was great - very friendly and smiley, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Tonii!

Food very good service good did ask for a quiet table away from kids didn't get it! Had a screaming child on table next to us! Not the best when you want to have a nice quiet meal and a chat with friends!

We enjoyed our dinner, great selection in the salad bar and food was very tasty. Tonii who served us was really friendly and attentive. We would very much recommend this Harvester!

Zoe was absolutely amazing, the service was amazing and so helpful thank you so much! The food was also great

I haven’t been to ‘The Dog’ in a long, long time and was pleasantly surprised with the decor, layout and seating arrangements. There was plenty of choice on the menu (as well as the new festive one) and my wife and I enjoyed both the salad bar and our dinners. Our waitress, Tonii was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for her. What with the pleasant atmosphere, it was an all round enjoyable visit and one I’d like to experience again.

Food was ok, but expensive for what it is. Also had a pudding but still left feeling hungry. Drinks are more expensive than my local pub. There was a singer on and he was good and also improved the atmosphere

We were a large group but our host Toni looked after us really well. Thank you.

Good value and nice food friendly service our server was Anna who was helpful and polite

Excellent service. Dan was really helpful

The food was excellent. Dan, our server was the best.

Came in for a birthday celebration as a party of 10. The food was fantastic and despite being a busy Friday night, very prompt. We were also so fortunate to have Dan as our server. He went above and beyond for us and made the evening run smoothly. He is a real credit to the establishment and I fully recommend everyone go here for any family get togethers or celebrations.

Waitress was rude & seemed dis interested in serving tables spent more time chatting to male colleagues! Drinks from bar were slow and not all that were ordered arrived. Will not return & wouldn't recommend

Harriet was fantastic and the food was great

Great meal. Best steak I’ve had for a long time. Tonii and Harriet served us and they were both happy and always there when you needed them, nothing was too much trouble for them. It’s nice when young people can engage with customers like that.

1 star is too high for this place, dining area was cold, ordered triple combo chicken was overcooked and tough, then ordered ice-cream sundae, size was half the size on previous visits, also used this place , will never visit again, bill was 50 complete waste of money

Perfect all round and staff very helpful in all your needs 👍💯

Waiter was really good, young lady and Hubert really looked after us all.

We booked a table for 9 on 09/11/24 at The Dog Harvester Redditch to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday (4 days prior to the meal) waitress Imogen was rude and abruptly challenged my sons age and despite having a digital copy to prove his age she refused to accept this, the manageress also refused to accept this (even though In the UK, 16 and 17-year-olds can drink alcohol in a pub if they are accompanied by an adult and are having a meal according to GOV website) this upset the whole party, I had to drive a round trip back home to collect his ID. The whole evening was a disaster. The waitress Imogen was more interested in chatting to her fellow colleagues than serving us, service was slow and poor, it seemed to take ages to receive our drinks and food if the pub was busy I could understand but it was fairly quiet at the time, it not the service I expected to receive from the Harvester as other Harvesters service is far better, the only thing going for The Dog is the location for the party. Evening destroyed well done The Dog, not sure we shall use this Harvester in the future.

This has become our regular Sunday midday feeding place.

Our waitress Jessica was lovely and welcoming, food was great and the restaurant was very well kept.

Never been here before we had a day out and on the way back we decided to Pop in and have a meal,we both had the steak and words can not describe how great it was cooked to prevention,the salad bar was brilliant and the little rolls most enjoyable.The staff were brilliant nothing was to much trouble I would highly recommend this restaurant the food and atmosphere was great, even told my friends about it and there willing to drive quite far to it,the food speaks for itself, will be back again very soon very happy.😀 First time we came really pleased came in 7th November for lunch totally different the chap on the front not very friendly the one girl was really nice that served us the other girl was mixing up the order,my other half had the steak which is not cheap asked for it medium rare it came blue and full of fat my meal was lovely except the peas were terrible left those they definitely were not garden peas,must have a different chef on a lunch time,the salad bar is brilliant bring back the lady that was on the front she was so friendly and nice felt a bit let down this time.

Great meal and great service from Tonii at Redditch Harvester.

Tonii was a fantastic server! Great food great atmosphere xx

Tonii was pleasant and helpful harvester the dog studley

We had a pleasant meal with good, attentive service after stopping to see if we could have a table without having made an advance reservation.

Food was lovely, service was great from Imogen would go again

Great meal Imogen served us she was very polite and attentive 10/10

Very friendly and good service from Harriet, great fresh selection on salad bar, very tasty chicken skewer kebab, will be back again.

Food was lovely as usual, Tonii was lovely, very friendly and great service!!

Absolutely stunning place. Went there for the first time today and got served by a lovely waitress called Katie

Lovely meal, great service from Millie and Katie. Thank you 😊

Good food good value chicken Tuesday and helpful, cheerful waitress Millie

My family and I dined at Redditch Harvestor for the first time. The environment is very good and there is enough parking space. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and the waiters are very polite. The food was of consistent quality and we enjoyed our meal. The restroom is clean and has no smell. There are ramps for getting up and down, making it convenient for families with wheelchairs and strollers. Worth recommending. Re: I don't know the name of that waitress. She is wearing glasses, short hair. She seems quite busy on that night but still providing very good service to us.

Sunday Had breakfast service was great thank you to Millie, Harriet and Tony

We ate here last night. 4 of our 6 meals were inedible. Overcooked,burnt & cold. Even the salad bar was disappointing,very sparse. Why would an establishment serve such awful food. We were offered replacement meals but were put off by what we were served 1st time. Will not be returning & will tell my friends & family to stay well clear too.

Very lovely staff lost a star on staff not as they where not deserving of 5 but the company expected 7 staff to run the whole place so it was a bit slow at times. But they are all very lovely

very friendly and helpful staff food as good as ever most enjoyable.

Really no stars are worth putting in any of these areas. Shocking!!! Shall not be visiting again!!

Nice open interior due to the large windows, quick and friendly service, plenty of seating inside and out, clean toilets

Served by Anna. Great service. Food was very good. Very good overall experience.

Great service, food fast and hot. Rocky horror a classic as always

Harriet was very helpful and professional !!

Wanted to give 4 for service bit it's not their fault if the Internet is not playing ball for the app or blue light discount. Imogen was very polite and patient the food was lovely

Best harvester I've ever been too, shout out to Imogen

Imogen was great, friendly, efficient. Had a lovely relaxing meal, food was great, can recommend the skewers

Brilliant thanks, great food and service. Imogen was a great help.

Very good food and great service by Imogen :)) will definitely be back

Staff are top notch and so helpful. Would highly recommend

I've read some of the reviews on here, and I can only surmise that some were written on bad days? 🤷‍♂️ went here with a group of six and enjoyed it. In the land of multiple garden centres and Studley was regarded as 'posh' when I grew up in the 80s. Lots of parking and into a large, clean, and comfortable area. Genuinely happy, friendly service and good attention to detail. We all enjoyed our food, the only minus being that a baked potato was cold but this was quickly remedied by the lovely staff. No real complaints from us which and I'd rather come here then a Beefeater

Had to wait long time to be served

Great harvester. Staff super friendly, cosy ambience in the evening time, we were also very impressed on how well they kept the salad bar stocked up. Will definitely be returning

Great value for money. Really friendly efficient service.

Imogen was very helpful, rushed off her feet but couldn’t help enough. Lovely food.

Absolutely wonderful food, Special shout out to Imogen for her first class service! Will definitely be back

Millie was great, 10/10 service

Great food we was served by Jessica who was fantastic and made mine and my partners evening lovely:)

Imogen was fantastic. Very polite and helpful with menu and the options available :) food was great too!

Busy. But no delay getting food. A young lad, waiter was shadowing our waiter, a lady only a few years older. Got a cosy table with good lighting. Why have we left it so long to return to this Dog, Harvester. My husband and I had A mixed grill. Meat cooked to perfection. On next table, group, ordered. We were given dish. Wondered what for. Regulars like next table went over to bar of salad with their dish. Used as starter. We could not have eaten starter as full with mixed grill. Also next table kept getting up and refilling glass with cola, looked like. They seemed to have light main meal. So slimming. Leaving we seen artic lights in sky.

was very busy but service and food still very good

We stopped for a meal on Sunday afternoon and the place was busy but they found us a table for 5 without issue and service was prompt and friendly, Tonii looked after us well with no request being too much. The atmosphere was good in there and the food was great, portion sizes although smaller than before were adequate. Overall price worked out to be around £20 per head for mains and soft drinks for 4 adults and one child’s order. We will return again 👍🏼

Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the staff are very accommodating and helpful. Good selection of food, particularly nice chicken dishes and steaks. Salad bar is always well stocked with some good classics such as potato salad, pasta, coleslaw, etc... Large selection of sauces and fresh bread too.

Food was 1st class and Harriet our waitress is a credit to you

Lovely meal and perfect service from Lisa. Thank you!

Had a lovely meal with Tonii looking after us. She was very friendly and attentive. Thankyou Tonii!

We have always enjoyed coming here but there were a few aspects that disappointed us. My partner ordered the dirty bird burger, it had a teaspoon worth of sauce on the top bun under tomato and 2 bits of salad. As for myself I had the triple combo, the southern fried and rotisserie chicken were okay, but the grilled chicken was so rubbery or at least a texture I can't describe. Ordinarily the food is really nice, this particular time not so much. I have to shout out to Bernita, she is a very good host and cares for the improvements of the establishment and the feelings of customers. She noticed that the food wasn't great for us, even though politely I said, no it's okay at first as I'm usually quite reserved when it comes to complaining. Please ensure she gets a big thankyou, she's excellent and we will return again with I hope a better experience.

Went for dinner with my partner yesterday at the dog, we tried the new menu which definitely didn’t disappoint. Food was delicious and we had a lovely server Kaci. She went above and beyond to make our experience very enjoyable and feel very taken care of even though it was very busy.

Good meal ,staff friendly, enjoyable afternoon like to thank Beth very helpful

This has to have been the worst restaurant/pub visit in living memory. Right from the start, to the moment we left, this was an awful experience. I'll leave the cherry on top until the end. After reserving a table online, we got to the Dog about 5 minutes before the reservation time. There was a family in front of us and it appeared there was some confusion with their table. After patiently waiting, they were eventually seated by the gentleman who was on front-of-house. On his return, the phone rang and he proceeded to answer the phone. Bear in mind, we have already gotten out of our house and to the restaurant, we are effectively paying customers. But no, someone on the phone, who is probably sat in their house, not a paying customer takes priority. Once the phone call has ended, we were asked if we had booked a table. I said yes, gave my surname. I was asked if I was using any promotions, I replied "Yes, Blue Light card." The gentleman rolled his eyes as he pressed a button on his screen, then grabbed the menus. We were sat down, instantly asked if we wanted any drinks, which is nice, but we've not even looked at the drinks menu. We politely declined and asked if we could have a moment. We ordered drinks when ordering our food. Needless to say, things don't get any better from here. After enquiring whether we could have cheese on the children’s beef burger, we were advised that yes “it’s possible, it’s 50p”. We continued with our order. I chose the BBQ beef burger and my wife went with the half roast chicken. No pulled pork so I couldn’t have the BBQ Beef Burger. I went for a dirty one instead. Our waitress returned with the salad bowls that were so hot, the kids had to wait for them to cool down before carrying them. Once my wife and I had finished our salad, the drinks finally turned up. Then, the food. All was well, except someone in the kitchen doesn’t know that half a chicken, is 50% of a chicken. No thigh. What turned up was the chicken breast and a dried out drumstick, not attached. We called the waitress to ask where the thigh was, to which she went and got another “half”. What turned up looked a lot better, but still no thigh. We asked to speak to the duty manager who turned up to explain that due to the ‘ribs’, “the thigh doesn’t come with half a chicken.” Having been to the Dog half a dozen times previously, all my wife ever orders is the half a chicken. Oh dear. Ribs, indeed. After some toing and froing, the duty manager finally confirmed that the ‘apprentice’ in the kitchen would have thrown the thigh away. At this point, we wanted to leave. The two boys, however, happily tucking into their food! After food was finished, a waitress came to start clearing the table and finished with half a job. We then reminded the original waitress that we would like the desserts for the boys. Well, The Sundae Bests (ice cream cones) turned up in hot bowls. The ice cream had practically melted by the time it was served. Ice cream eaten, and another long wait for a waitress to bring our bill. That 50p cheese? £1. That cherry? Bill was paid and as we got to the exit, there was a lady, sat at a table by the entrance, drinking a tea or coffee. As I walked out, I said to my wife “Do you want to know what makes it worse? That’s the Landlady. Sat doing F-all whilst her pub and her staff is chaotic!” Couldn’t be certain, but as it was a Lenovo thinkpad, issued to all good M&B pubs, and their managers tend to think that having more responsibilities means doing less work, it was a good chance she was the landlady. No one else would be sat working on their laptop in a pub at 8pm, drinking tea/coffee unless it was their pub they were working in. 2 hours we were there. Only because of how chaotic this place was. The waitresses were golden. As soon as you get to management, it took the wrong turn.Used to like going to the Dog, not our nearest Harvester, but worth the journey. Not anymore.

Was served by Kaci. Such a lovely person. Mentioned it was my sister's 16th and they came out with candles on her dessert. Kaci was amazing!

Came for a drink & dessert with a friend & waitress & staff were very friendly & accommodating.

Went for breakfast food was nice but bacon badly burnt. Service slow no cutlery or butter for toast . Overall good but a bit hard work as pub was very quiet

Imogen was very polite and a lovely waitress!

Normal Harvester. Which s great

The staff were great. Food delicious and reasonably priced.

Called in while we were out shopping had burger and steak wrap both very good good size portions .Good service would definitely go back

Great service as always by Gemma and the team. Can't beat a Guinness and a chat 👏

Came into a warm smile by Gemma who was lovely in her conversation and attentiveness to detail. The Guinness here was amazing and both the bar staff Dan and Kirsty were equally as lovely in conversation.

The Guinness is to die for ❤️ expertly served by Gemma with her wonderful staff Dan and Kirsty.... Won't be long before we're back

Great service from Tonii, such a lovely girl. Delicious food as well.

Perhaps the best Harvester we go to. Service was fantastic, delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Dinner to celebrate the birthdays of 2 of my grandchildren. A party of 15 and the team were all amazing as was the food and service. A big well done particularly to Jess.

Fantastic pub amazing team food 100% top quality food the team is outstanding an very very happy to help look no further than the dog 5star restaurant

Service was brilliant Imogen was brilliant she put up wih us she is a angel

Food was ok was a little disappointed there wasn't much gluten free option

Imogen was very helpful and very polite and helped us when we needed it and didn't leave us waiting long at all

Food was lovely. Great service from Imogen

delicious, love my steak 10/10🌟🌟

Imogen was super friendly, and it was an absolute pleasure to have her waiting! The food was fantastic and great value too so thank you to all the staff at The Dog Harvesyer

Fantastic service and food 👍🏻 was served by Harriet and she did a fantastic job asking us if we had any allergies and making amendments to our order for us.

Waited too long for food and when it came it was either burnt or overcooked . I had the ultimate mixed grill which was missing the eggs so I told the waitress and then minutes later I had them thrown on the table in a bowl looking an absolute mess . Another waitress got my meal taken off the bill which was nice but the evening was already ruined. I've been to lots of harvesters and love going there but I'd give the dog a wide birth because the food is rough.

Food is actually starting to get slightly overpriced for what you get. The salad bar and unlimited soft drinks is probably the only reason I still go to the Harvester. The meal was just so meh. Not enough for starters, but the burger was just so average. My brother ordered the Dirty Burger meal and his burger patties were burnt to a crisp. Dry as anything. Service was good though. Waiter was lovely.

Thank you Harriot for your fantastic service yesterday. The food was great as usual but we were really impressed with your warm welcome and helpfulness, you made our day! Well done all

Harriet (trainee) served us today. A very pleasant young lady. Got our order smack on. Well gone girl xx

Daisy was really smiley and friendly, and the food was great

Amazing food, had the BBQ pork belly and ultimate mix grill. Service was quick. Tonii our waitress was lovely and friendly. Wanted to leave a tip but no option on the card machine.

Now this has been refurbished the decor is nice, food is good as always.

Thank you to toniii for a great service and a laugh at the end of our meal, always great and a friendly service whenever I visit this harvester. Thank you tonii keep up the great work 😇😇😇

Great service from Bernita today - she sorted out my sisters weird order on her birthday and food was great

Food was good when we were finally served but the long wait on a quiet afternoon was uncalled for

The waitress named Tonii was very friendly & helpful she made us feel very welcome.
