Harvester Gidea Park Romford in Havering

Was rudely spoken to by the supervisor bee upon arrival , we waited over 20 minutes just to order some drinks upon ordering food we was told most of the items was out of stock! waited over an hour for our food. The service was absolutely appalling! Certainly won't be returning!

Popped into Gidea Park & our Servicer Ros was brilliant. Nothing was too much. She advised us all along the time we were there. We will definitely got back again. We live closer to Hornchurch but we have decided to always got back to Gidea Park because of the service we received from Ros. Thank you very much Ros.

Wee we’re served by Calum and as always he did an amazing job making us feel welcome and appreciated

Had a great visit here today. Charlotte was super sweet with all her help. Food was tasty - the brownie never fails to make me want dessert!

Lovely meal, great service by Sharon

was amazing surved by sharon shes very skibidy

Went in for lunch for on 1st March to celebrate my dad's birthday a day early, our server Kass was very helpful and she recommend the Glazed Choux Bun for my dessert and I enjoyed it and I was very happy with her suggestion. The food was delicious, and my dad said his steak was cooked perfectly.

One of our family’s favourite places to dine out, staff are always friendly and food is hot and freshly made. Dined here last night as a birthday meal and have to mention Calum who waited our large table who was very attentive and polite despite the restaurant seeming to be short staffed and rather busy, had a very enjoyable time thank you.

I ordered a steak which was cooked ok the problem I ask for English mustard they said they don’t stock it I can’t believe that they are selling steaks without any mustard.

Breakfast was lovely. Everytime I come here food is perfect. Calum was our server! Thank you Gidea park. Pam and Steve

Food was great and very filling. Salad bar was amazing which the kids really enjoyed. Sharon was very helpful and polite.

Tried the new item on the menu very tasty, just a little on the small side for me at 13 quid. Just my opinion.

I have been to harvester in main road Romford this lunch time .The service was absolutely appalling my grandchildren waited over a hour for a ice cream dessert.The waitress avoided eye contact went to other tables around us cleaning and making herself look busy She was very rude not once was we ask if our food was ok.The chips looked and tasted like they had been under the heater for days the flat bread and the rolls where so dry they crumbled as you pulled them apart.The 3 bottles of mayonnaise I went to use was empty .i use the harvester on many occasions mostly at benfleet and never had a issue .

Food was excellent, as we have always experienced, and usually the staff are brilliant. But, on this occasion we have to refer to the review left by Harry Watkins some 5 months earlier. The server Sharon struggled to take our food and drink orders, we had to keep repeating and she was very loud repeating our order back to us. I ordered a diet Pepsi refil which was delivered to our table by a young man who was serving behind the bar, we assume because the servers were rushed off their feet during a very busy half term lunch period. Said young man did not say a word to us and our drinks were placed on the table and my diet Pepsi refil was an empty glass. When I asked Sharon for a diet Pepsi her response was " Don't you want to help yourself, that's why I told you I would give you an empty glass" to which I responded " No, firstly I do not know where the refil station is and secondly you did not tell me you would be giving me an empty glass". We had confirmed with Sharon when we placed our order that we would be having the 2 course lunch menu of main and dessert. After a long period of finishing our main, Sharon asked us if we would like a dessert, which was odd as we had already confirmed this. We said yes but then had to stop Sharon as she passed our table to ask her for the dessert menu, we had to do the same to ask for the bill. We felt we had been waiting around quite a bit and Sharon's response on both occasions was "give me a couple of minutes" but she then walked past us to ask another table with more than just 2 people if they would like further drinks? Doesn't seem to be any changes here in the last 5 months, possibly consider some in-house training. Thank you.

Not very pleasant greeting. I booked table for 10 but there was 11 of us. I understand I should have called ahead to update the booking, but nonetheless, the restaurant was empty and i got a negative attitude from the staff. With appropriate customer service skills, this could have been a quickly and pleasantly. long delay in getting served

The food we had here was lovely, wasn’t too busy and food came out super quick. The chef was friendly when I asked for more salad to be brought out and our waitress Hayley was super friendly and very helpful. We definitely return here in the future.

The service and atmosphere was impeccable! Very friendly, informative and supportive staff in regards to allergies and nutrition advice. Thank you so much Vicci! The food was also very delicious! I loved the beef burger, half back ribs and haloumi fries!

Lovely Food and our server Vicci was lovely and very friendly!

Thank you Sharon for your excellent service food was hot and lovely as usual

Great food and excellent service by our waitress Hayley. Very accommodating with my allergies.

Dined for lunch today we had the pleasure of having lovely Sharon serving us! What a delight she is! Thanks Sharon see you again soon!

Came here on Sunday with my partner after telling him how amazing it was. Unfortunately a few things didn’t go right and the meal wasn’t what it was supposed to be, however I literally have to leave this review because Leanne the manager is just incredible. All the staff are to be honest, but I really am so happy with Leanne. She rectified the situation and unfortunately we left before they had finished renewing our rack of ribs. I called when we got home and she remembered me for Tuesday for me and I come back and collect a fresh meal (of what we had paid for) - this totally turned the situation around and for that reason I will always come back. Thank you

Sharon from the gidea park harvester is a marvel treated me nicely and was lovely person to talk too thank you

Perfect dinner Hayley was amazing tried helping us out with discount too thank you so much

I went for dinner tonight my server kass was great, she was friendly and polite and made sure I had everything. Great service!

Served by the lovely Hayley, brilliant service and food. Special shout out to craig behind the bar too. Great service and very attentive! Will definitely be back even just for a pint!

The corn bread had no sauce no toppings just chucked in a bag at £5 each was not impressed they wouldn’t serve it like that in there restaurant

Food was delicious really good quantity and quality. Definitely will order again

Hayley was so fantastic, well organised and polite. Definitely made our experience 100%%

Thanks hayley for wonderful service

Excellent service by Josh very polite and courteous

The food was lovely & our server Hayley was very helpful and efficient

Hayley was great very good service Food was also nice Would recommend

Ros was an amazing waiter and the food was excellent.

Good for a gathering of friends

Good atmosphere good service good staff

Using the App it was super cheap good meal out

Disgusting food. Staff are friendly but the food is terrible, nothing on this plate is worth having, even the peas taste weird

foods good but the food takes ages to arrive

Party of four enjoyed our evening here great food service and atmosphere One of our best experiences lately

We were served by Leeann and had a lovely evening. Service was top notch, our food came out quickly and despite our dietary requirements and fussiness it was all correct and amazing. Thank you Leeann! Great meal and great team working there.

Relaxing and enjoyable good value

My Partner and I went for dinner and we were very disappointed. The waitress was not attentive, service was extremely slow and poor (whilst she took a long time with another table working for her tips). We waited a long time for our order to be taken, the coleslaw on the salad bar tasted off, the waitress was also standing around chatting with someone whom I assumed to be the duty manager. We even waiting a long time to pay the bill so we just got up and paid with the waitress at the till because I couldn’t stand being there anymore. I’m sure if you tip them they’ll pay more attention to you but with the poor service we obviously were not going to do that!!

No mustard, why ? Supermarket next door !

Harvester Unicorn in Gidea Park is always spot on! Food is hot and cooked well, service is fast, and parking is free. Special shout out to Hayley our waitress!

Went evening time Tuesday while the 50%off mains was on. Restaurant was full as expected however service and food was excellent no long waits for anything. Highly recommend this Gidea Park Harvester way better than other locall ones.

Nice lunch with family, food was great, triple combo was lovely. Service was very slow although restaurant was not busy.

My first visit at the Gidea Park branch-very positively surprised. Food was good but the service made the evening. Craig at the Bar looked after us so well, followed up on our experience, offered additional drinks when needed. Great customer service, would come back because of the service! Thanks

The food was exelent until we got home my daughter had stomach pains and she had salmon that was not right or off

Extra Halloumi fries didn’t come with main & when they did were not great so didn’t eat them & got refunded. Half a chicken was way too small should’ve said something when it was brought over but didn’t. So for the cost £56 which had 20% off (BLD) wasn’t value for money. Also the cheesy garlic bread was oily & doughy, again should’ve said something. I like Harvester but it really can be hit or miss when you go there. Service was good so I did tip.

Friendly and speedy delivery. Delicious food and good portions.

Service from Kimberley was lovely as was the food! Would definitely recommend!

Kimberly was excellent and Tori the chef cooked an excellent steak.

Leeann was a great server, so friendly and accommodating. Food, drinks and service 10/10

Great food, Leeann was the best server. 10/10 performance🥳

Server was Inẽs and she was great! Chef was Jamie.T and the food was delicious!

Very friendly staff good place to eat Joe was very helpful

Food was good. Served quickly too. Lovely young lady served us. Very polite and friendly.

Good food, pleasant and efficient service. Everything we chose was available. Good value meal

Christmas day menu.We chose our food 3 weeks before Christmas, the dessert we got wasn't what was on the menu. No condiments on the table, no cranberry sauce. The child meal had no Yorkshire pudding, no pig in blankets, no cranberry sauce or parsnip. For what we paid for four adult meals and one child meal it wasn't worth the money won't be going again.

Just amazing! I'd just like to thank all at the Harvester for giving up their Christmas Day. We had a great time, the food and staff were amazing 😊

It was Christmas Day, we had different starters and desserts but we all had the Roast Turkey dinner as our main. We all enjoyed all our courses. The staff were rushed off their feet but they were all cheerful, polite, friendly and helpful and provided us with excellent service. We would definitely have Christmas Day dinner here again and are happy to recommend this venue, we had a great experience 👍🏻

Food was very tasty We had the 2 course Xmas menu which is really good value for money Service was quick and friendly

3 of us booked your restaurant on Sunday..we all had steak and it was awful...none of us ate it...the peas were cold and the chips weren't nice either. Didn't have to pay for the meals. We decided to have a hot dessert but as they still hadn't come out we decided to leave...the table next to us also left after waiting 30 minutes too...Will not be going back...

A Comedy of Errors at Harvester – First and Last Visit If I could give this Harvester fewer stars, I’d have to invent a black hole rating system. Let’s start from the beginning: I had the distinct pleasure of becoming an honorary member of the staff for the evening. You see, upon arrival, there were no menus to be found, no staff in sight, and a vibe that screamed “every man for himself.” Like a brave explorer in a desolate land, I ventured to the waiter’s station, seized some menus, and distributed them to our party. Next, I took on the role of salad bowl porter, because the Harvester team clearly thought this was a BYO-Everything kind of establishment. Things went from bad to worse when the food arrived. “Cold and bland” doesn’t quite capture the essence of the meals served to us – they were more of a culinary crime scene. The kids were served meatballs so hard they could’ve been repurposed as cricket balls. When we mentioned this to the staff, we were met with an Olympic-level refusal to take them off the bill. Perhaps Harvester’s motto is “we serve it, you pay for it, no exceptions.” Then came my pièce de résistance: a Sunday roast featuring raw chicken. Now, I love a plot twist, but I wasn’t expecting salmonella roulette with my lunch. Naturally, I pointed this out to the waitress, who seemed to be auditioning for a role in The Great British Shrug-Off. No apology, no replacement meal, no effort to rectify the situation – just a silent removal of my plate and a tacit agreement that I would be going hungry. Delightful. The manager? Oh, bless him, he was like a deer in headlights, stumbling around in a fog of chaos, utterly overwhelmed by the bedlam. It was as though he’d been parachuted in from another career entirely – perhaps he was a former juggler who lost control of his balls. Whatever the case, he offered no leadership, no solutions, and certainly no reason to return. And the crowning glory of this farce? Someone in our party ordered a double espresso and was served two individual espressos – both stone cold. A Harvester twist on the classic riddle: “What’s worse than no coffee? Two bad coffees.” The mind boggles. It’s safe to say this was my first and last visit to Harvester. If chaos, apathy, and culinary disasters are your thing, this place might be right up your alley. For me, I’ll be taking my appetite elsewhere. Bon appétit – just not here!

i would love to say it was great but i cant. The waitress was lovely, and very busy, but kept abreast of her area, and dealt with everythin superbly

Wow what an improvement. We had breakfast with santa, it was great. The staff were amazing, santa was amazing. They made it really special for my daughter.

Served today by the amazing Santas Elf Bee. Very festive, very charming and thank you for a lovely breakfast

Was served by our lovely server Bree the elf today had the festive menu and the festive dessert and drinks which were absolutely lovely and had the steak and the turkey festive dinners both were amazing. That good that I had to go a compliment the chief myself as service and food was brilliant. Definitely coming back again!

Harvester Gidea Park has quickly become our safe place for a quick, informal and delicious dinner with a great atmosphere. Especially in these festive days, atmosphere is particularly amazing. Thank you Harvester Gidea Park staff!

Great atmosphere very nice food and the staff were polite

Food was shocking loaded fries was cold, put a hot sauce on chicken kebab when I ordered bbq sauce wouldnt go back!

We were a party of 9. Half the salad bar was missing. There was no salt on the table and no mustard was available “subject to availability”. No jacket potatoes and the bacon in the burgers was cold or only lukewarm. The lettuce garnishes were limp and there was no butter, only margarine with the rolls. The steak was very leathery and missing garnishes. We did complain and the manager explained there had been high demand for jackets and mustard was on order. She apologised and offered us free desserts and asked if that would resolve our complaint. We agreed that would acceptable.

Calum was a great server and Nathan a great manager. Food was lovely and Nathan deserves a promotion

Fantastic food and fantastic service from Joshua

Sharon served us tonight Great service, friendly atmosphere, see you again soon

Great steak, friendly service without being over bearing .would visit again.

Me and my partner came for his birthday and we was served by Nathan, he was absolutely lovely and even looking at the fact that he had so many other tables to serve he still didn’t seem bothered about the amount of times we called him. At the end I met the lovely Hayley and she complimented my bag. The workers here are genuine people and are 100% the reason me and my partner will be returning.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food. I highly recommend it.

Our waitress Sharon was exceptional she was very polite made sure we had everything we needed and made our time here memorable

Had a good meal here on Tuesday, pork belly was very nice and our waiter, Nathan, was excellent. Thank you.

Kimberly, was good and helpful this evening with all of our food.

On the 27th October i came in the evening. The meal was lovely and i was served by Hayley. Hayley was a great waiter, she provided an excellent and efficient service and was very kind. Hayley did her job well and checked up on us to make sure we was attended too.

Small portions. overcooked chicken. found a burnt potato which I didn't order. The salad was small with not much selection.

Without a doubt the best Harvester we have been to. Food was great and speedy, restaurant was extremely tidy and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be back soon!

Lovely meal, great service from Nathan the bar manager

Had a lovely evening with my family and our waitress Ros was absolutely wonderful, she always is.

We decided to pop in for lunch after my baby nieces funeral, there was 8 of us so not the smallest of tables. The food was lovely and the service was excellent until it came to end of our experience and one member of our party wanted to use a Blue Light Discount. The server (we won’t name), came across quite hostile when it came to asking for proof of discount (NHS card and App ID wasn’t enough). This was an incredible disappointment considering one of our meals had been forgotten from the order and one of our party was left waiting. The manager shortly came to our aid and assisted with the discount. He was very kind and considerate after hearing about the sad day we’d had and it made my grieving sister feel a lot better, which was a kind touch. Thanks to our server Bee and the manager (sorry hun we deffo didn’t catch your name!!)

Had a wonderful experience with Sharon our waitress most helpful food lovely will definitely come again

Sharon was very helpful with the menu and good service. Food was nice and easy, salad fresh

Friendly staff, venue was clean and presentable. Food was delicious recommend going here for food, r even a cheeky drink!

Had a lovely experience for lunch. Nathan and Cassidy were absolutely amazing!!!
