Harvester Gowerton Swansea in Swansea

We enjoy coming to this Harvester and it rarely disappoints. Service was great, discreet but personal with rapport built up quickly. However, my Main Course was not up to the usual standard - Simply Chicken. The piece of chicken was small but still tasty and the chips were good but broccoli and peas? Dire ! If the broccoli had been shown hot water it was only for a nano second! It was so hard the knife couldn't penetrate and the floret was too big to eat on one mouthful. As hard as the broccoli was, the peas were the complete opposite, and the hot water was on the plate with them so I had to mop it up with the serviette. The restaurant was busy and the noise was the sound of happy, comfortable clients enjoying what this Harvester offers so I hope that Simply Chicken will simply improve the next time we go

Harvester was great. Food was tasty. Hannah was the best waitress in Wales.

The best part of our experience was the friendly and helpful waitress Hannah. Food was great too!!

Emily’s service was very fast and good. She was very friendly and lovely. Thanks for great food x

Chelsea was fab and polite. Patient with all the kids as well

emily was amazing to me and my boyfriend today !! very pretty waitress too !

Had a big group of 10 for a family celebration but the service was still great with all 10 meals arriving together. Well done Mia for looking after us so well. Food was outstanding as well.

Chelsea is the best waitress I've ever had and conor was just ad amazing thank you !!!

Mia was sooo helpful happy and polite I will definitely be back again soon

Mia was absolutely amazing very helpful and polite. Told us about all the offers and recommended the tandoori skewers as I couldn’t decide what to have our food was lovely and will return again soon

Mia’s service was excellent! Would definitely come back again!

Chelsea was a brilliant server with great customer service and was so helpful Gwyn the chef made brilliant food and I enjoyed every bit of it

Great visit today. Our server Chelsea was very friendly and helpful.

Great meal, food was lovely, waitress Mia was very helpful and knowledgeable

Our waitress Mia was so attentive and really looked after us, also took extra time to explain how to use the app and helped us to use the 50% discount!

Our waitress Mia was brilliant.Syoer friendly and told us about 50% off app and as there was 10 of us , made a real difference.Will definitely be back!!

This was our first time visiting the Harvester restaurant. We’re living abroad and it’s not easy to find the perfect place for good atmosphere and food. Our server Emily was very pleasant, professional and efficient. She is a great asset to the restaurant. Finally we had good value for money !

Amazing all around, thanks to Mia :)x

Mia was a brilliant waitress and very informative

Really enjoy the food and staff especially Denise and Bev. Both are very accomadating.

Cerys served us today and she couldn't do enough

Another stunning breakfast to. We love being served by Bev we always make sure she see's to us she is an absolute credit to you and I hope it's recognised.

Always a good meal and the salad bar is very nice. Staff are helpful and generally quick at dealing with things. Some good offers on their App makes a difference. Can be a bit crowded sometimes but usually not too bad, a popular place.

Really busy but great staff did everything they could to make it a good meal. Excellent.

The salad bar is good and the food was fresh and tasty. The staff were lovely and made you feel welcome.

Very good service and not to crowded. No complaints.

Excellent food and service.Very clean and easy to park. Staff really went the extra mile to accommodate our family of seven aged from 3 to 62. With two vegetarians. Thank you. We look forward to returning.

Our third and probably final attempt at the harvester. Our first time, a few years ago, they served tofu absolutely full of water and was told that's how they do it. Bizarre. Second time, they sold out/no stock of all vegan options. And yesterday, all their new vegan options, bar a standard burger, are not served after 5pm (not stated on the website). All wasted trips. Giving 2 stars as the server was nice

Cerys who served us was really friendly, lovely and accommodating! She made our experience better. Thanks!

Terrible service attitude of the 2 bartenders in a row to a new level now I'm been waiting over a hour for food never coming again

Great friendly staff, especially with the kids

Corner was absolutely brilliant. To be fair to him he served me and my mates with care and passion and took his time with the complicated order.

Mains absolutely stunning Salad bar dirty empty frozen rolls all sauces mixed together

Have been to the venue twice in the past couple of weeks, each time with different groups. One breakfast and today lunch. Was served on both occasions by Chelsea. If all restaurants employed staff with her personality and enthusiasm customers would be over the moon. Efficient, personable, bubbly, and not in your face but attended to all your needs, I looking after your table. Really good that she communicated well with people old enough to be her grandfather. Oh by the way the food was good as well.

Family occasion and the evening was fabulous. Meals are perfectly executed,lovely experience great staff

Sophie was amazing, and our food was lovely cooked by liam and mat. Will 100% be back.

Came here for lunch today, waited over half hour for food, wasn't busy there at all. Food eventually came but was cold, waited even longer for desserts but they didn't arrive, cancelled them at the bar and requested refund. Woman behind bar wasn't bothered at all. Really bad service.

meal booked for 11 people for 6,45p.m. Witing half an hour if we had not asked a member of staff when we could get to out 'booked' table, i think we would still be there. Salad bar was scruffy and not much of it there, The meal we had was dreadfull, tasteless and not presented well. Never again. Chicken strips were dry and bitter tasting. Waitress did not ask if there was anything else we needed or if our food was alright....

Cerys and Sophie were great with us today. We were a large table and they were so patient. Really helpful and happy. Food was on point too thanks to our chefs Gwynn and Joe

The service by Cerys made our evening special, nothing was too much trouble. We were a large party, service was very quick, all the food were served at the ssme time and all orders were correct. What an asset Cerys is to the Harvester Gowerton, so nice to see a young person with such high standards and personality.

Lovely night spent, service was excellent served by Cerys, there was a nice atmosphere there, we were a Large party of 13 & each one particularly enjoyed every aspect of the experience, it has restored our faith in the Harvester in Gowerton

45 minutes after ordering to get your food and was not that busy.ultimate breakfast was not as the description says but was tasty tbf.

A brilliant server named Bev went over and above to make our experience great . So patient and kind with my 90 year old mum .

We arrived early for our booking but we were sat immediately. Our server was really great and helped us sort out an issue. She was attentive and got our orders quickly. The food was great and portions were big. No complaints overall.

MIXED REVIEW: Food all arrived at the same time, all hot and as described. Salad bar was messy and lacking some items Attentive waiting staff. Manager seemed professional but didn't look the part. Prices seem high on some simple dishes Menus were sticky. Table was not laid even though we had booked.

Normally love the Harvester, but tonight it wasn't great. booked a table for four for my birthday. The Salad Bar was Empty, The sauces were empty. (no red devil sauce, totally gutted) Had Chicken stack No bacon and usually chicken tenders on chicken breast but today had some shreaded chicken. Really disappointed. Gutted.

Enjoyed the lunchtime deal and staff were brilliant and helpful with my friend’s disability

We popped in with no booking but was welcomed, plus my mother is in a wheelchair, which was not a problem for them, Mia and others went out of there way for us. I have food intolerance (to all food) and they were concerned but also interested to learn the manager Liam came over & went into detail about there rules but also how they prepare and manage allergies (wow they are good), I explained how I'm able to tolerate my intolerance and they had there chefs Gwyn and jack to prepare my food (breakfast) which was perfect and there other chef Joe made cracking poached eggs for me, Joe made my nephews pancakes with bananas and choco sauce (he pretty much inhaled it instead of chewing lol), my mother has an intolerance to sugar free foods and drinks and they catered for her too. They are a fantastic bunch All the staff are friendly and go out of there way for the customers they were quick bringing the food to us and always had a smile on there faces. I can not wait to go there again

This has been our most disappointing visit to Harvester Gowerton. Firstly, the drinks machine had a note on it stating the lemonade was not working. We also found that the Fanta was also out of syrup, so leaving either Pepsi or squash, not much of a choice. Secondly, there were quite a few items missing from the salad bar. Thirdly, when the food came out, my half chicken and steak were barely warm, so I had to get them "re-heated" as this was the quickest option, rather than waiting at least 15 minutes for a fresh plate of food to be prepared. The waitress was very good in the handling of the situation, but this was an issue with the kitchen as the original chicken was luke warm in the middle, so had been standing around for quite some time to cool down that much.

Very enjoyable meal with family. Food delicious and served by pleasant staff

I think that the food was lovely and we didn't wait long for it . All good experiences

Been here 2 weeks in a row and both times food was cold service was poor kitchen staff have to pull there fingers out and check temps only saving grace is the salad

All our meals (10) arrived together. Helpful friendly staff.

Excellent customer service the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were friendly and very helpful

We turn up we out reservation and Magie at the front of house went beyond to able to squeeze us in the fully booked restaurant. The food was amazing being served in the right time. The bar staff went beyond Aaron and Hannah look after amazing! my daughter is the most fussy Human being and beginning me to ask for a takeaway box! definitely 5 star ⭐️ for all the experience! thank you!

Yes, it was quite busy due to the 50% off offer but we had to wait 40 mins for our lunch to be served. A simple char grilled chicken breast balanced bowl. Never before have I had a salad served in a very hot bowl! It made for a very limp and unenjoyably warm salad. Not to be recommended

Great range of food available. Helpful and polite staff. Great salad bar. Had a few birthday meals here, staff very helpful and accommodating. Great with allergies.

We had 50% off the bill, so it was worth it - and the food was fab!

The evening was fantastic Chelsea was our server and she was a joy happy helpful she went above and beyond to make our evening special (hard to find servers give a smile and customer service ) but Chelsea was awesome...thank you Chelsea The food was divine, moreish and tasty would definitely recommend and will be returning thank you Liam and Curtis (chefs)

There was a amazing server by the name of Chelsea highly recommend brilliant service .

All very nice and very tasty Went for a birthday meal on January 5th and all very nice The only thing that disappointed was indeed the garlic bread. It was very dry and quite hard to eat. Didn't enjoy it. But the ribs were gorgeous.

We came for my sons birthday. Food was delicious, all 8 meals were faultless. Our waitress Mia was amazing. She was so friendly amd bubbly. She made sure all our needs were met and always had a smile on her face. We brought our own birthday cake and Mia made sure she knew who's birthday it was and lead the singing of happy birthday. We couldn't have had a better dining experience. Thankyou Mia

Food gets more expensive as time passes . It isn't always as nice as it could be or used to be. Most of the staff are friendly but there are ,on occasions , some that aren't very nice and just treat you as a number rather than someone taking part in paying their wages!

The issues with so little food available to my grandaughter due to her nut allergy was extremely disappointing. Staff were very helpful and did their best to help.

Food is expensive for what it is now. Portion sizes have gone smaller every year and the food isn’t any better - so why is the price still expensive?

Breakfast was amazing, all cooked to perfection thanks Matt. And as always Bev our server, friendly, will always go above and beyond to make our visit perfect. Thank you both

Very frendly staff good food, plenty of parking space

Lots of items unavailable on the menu. Unfortunately, staff didn't feel the need to tell customers until they tried to order them

Big shout out for Sophie our waitress for tonight,it was a busy restaurant as there was a discount code available but she provided outstanding customer service with a smile,checked in on us and was genuinely happy.An asset to the company and if you give out customer service awards it should go to her for her dedication and commitment n making her guests happy

Stopped here for breakfast, chefs very busy trying to keep up with the people coming in. Many tables not been cleared, maybe a staffing issue 🤔

Everyone in our party enjoyed the service the food and the pork belly was stunning

Disappointed. Turned up on speck to be told restaurant was fully booked as it was last day of the 50%off day. Sat in bar to have our meal,had to ask for sticky table to be cleaned. Went up to bar to order the light lunch which was advertised online. Asked could dessert or drinks be added on at the end as didnt know how full we would be. Was told no can't do that in the bar. There was 3 of us and 2 said yes definitely dessert the other wanted a coffee which was advertised online as a swap. Lady behind the bar wasn't sure if we could do that but another lady came along and said sorry but that's the old menu and you can't do that anymore, I explained I had saw it online the evening before. She Stated it was a new menu now so I explained that it should be changed online then. She agreed to do it this once. (Not my fault the website hadn't been updated) we sat at a table and then had to go and ask about the salad bar as she didn't give us bowls. Walking bk from the salad station they had brought our starters. Had starter and salad and was enjoyable. Mains came a good while later which unfortunately only the meat and scampi was hot ,chips were lukewarm and peas stone cold, the grilled tomatoes also stone cold. The scampi and gammon was eaten but none of the sides. When the main was brought we had to ask them to please take the salad bowls and starter dishes away as they just walked away without taking them. No cutlery brought to us had to go ask where it was kept. . Then after waiting a while I informed the lady behind the bar we were ready for dessert and could our plates be taken away. Explained the food was cold and she explained I should have said as the food had been ate. I asked her to look at the plates as it hadn't been ate but she pointed out the gammon and scampi had. I didn't complain straight away as there was a number of people waiting at the bar to be served and only 1 member of staff. Didn't want to add pressure to her as she already seemed stressed. It was our error not booking on such a busy day and we didn't realise there was a money off voucher and it would be so busy. My point is they sit you in the bar with restaurant prices with no restaurant service. Been here a number of times and always an enjoyable experience but due to ill health hadn't been for a while. It was a birthday lunch for my mother in law so we were very disappointed in the whole experience. I admit it was very busy but all guests should be treated the same

Very nice and filling food we had last night 9 Jan 25 after attending another harvester and being turned away we were welcomed and accommodated at this location all the staff here are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our evening meal and will return to this location again. Pitty about other location as it is on our doorstep but if you want good food and friendly and helpful staff this location in swansea 100% recommend.

Good food wonderful service Staff helpful Some items on menu not available

What food that was available was amazing but there were a few items unavailable (rump steak, jackets and ice cream to name a few) so menu was shrunk and that was at 5pm !!

We were an hour early for our booking due to the problems getting all.our families together. There were 10 of us (including 4 under 5s) and I was doubtful whether you would be a le to accommodate us. Staff were incredibly welcoming and the lady who served us was amazing!

Really nice food, great service by the team on a busy evening. Would definitely recommend

Good food. Every time we visit the staff are always very helpful, happy & friendly. They seem to get along well as a team and it shows in their work.

Great food. Good service. Didn't get 5 for food because ribs were a bit overcooked and had gone dry and stringy.

We had Christmas lunch, three courses plus the salad bar. I have to say, this was my first time ever having Christmas lunch out with my family and it was absolutely lovely! Food was gorgeous, we all had different choices and each was great, staff members served us with huge smiles, really polite and even though they were busy busy, they made us feel really welcome and ensured we were enjoying throughout.

Lovely staff, good atmosphere. Had Christmas dinner, meat was good, some vegetables and roast potatoes were slightly undercooked.

Service today was exceptional Food was fresh ,well cooked and very tasty

The best Christmas dinner and dessert .Highly recommend it

The meals were excellent quality and quantity and the service was top notch.

It was awful. Sat for 1 hour 20 minutes waiting. When food finally came it was appauling. Cold and dry as leather like it had been sitting under hotlights for god knows how long.

The place needs updating ot even a clean 🙄 Walls were all stained , food was OK but not worth the price charged. Unfortunately will not go back there. Beer was also crap. Flat as a pancake

Very small portions for the price.

I visited twice in November for my birthday. Sophie and Chelsea were both exceptional, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing and on both occasions we thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely return due to the hospitality of Sophie and Chelsea.

We were a party of four (3 adults & one 5 year old) who visited for "Breakfast with Santa" on Sunday 8th December. We had such great fun and my shy granddaughter was mesmerised by the lovely mischievous elf (Amy). After our breakfast the elf took my granddaughter (& us) to see Santa in his grotto. Once again our little one was mesmerised into silence but after encouragement from Santa she became quite chatty. Thank you Harvester for being so happy and friendly. A big shout out to Emily who served us with patience and politeness. A huge thank you to Elf Amy who had us all giggling with her enthusiasm & humour and to Santa for making a young 5 year old very happy.

Very nice food reasonably priced low key atmosphere not to busy.

I booked a table 10 mins prior and luckily there was room. Service were brilliant, food was delicious. Nice selection of salad for the salad bar but I do miss the black olives Harvester use to serve. Our waitress was great very polite, courteous and accommodating. Didn't get her name but she has dark brown hair and quite young. Only thing the drinks dispenser had run out of tango so was giving water that was kind of lime flavoured, so just switched drinks. I do wish the vegan smashed burger was actually smashed though as it was just the burger no smashing involved..also the new corn and Cheddar fritter things absolutely good shout they are delicious. We usually go to our local in Llandarcy but came here as we were down this area and so glad we did.

We went for my Birthday,. Mia our waitress made my experience one that I will remember for a long time such a happy polite young lady. The food was the best,the half roast chicken was juicy and tender cooked by Jack, Connor and Jo. The atmosphere was great as always.

Had dinner last night 1st of Dec for my wife's birthday I had the ultimate mixed grill sorry to say but it was awful burnt and warm I couldn't eat the steak the chicken was black and dry sausages were black as well best bit was the chips but they were only warm I didn't complain purely because the lad that was serving us was a diamond clearly not his fault so I just kept quiet over £50 for the bill really disappointing

Great service from our servers today, Emily and Zoe. Friendly and delivered the food in a timely manner.

Lovely food, great service from Cerys in Gowerton Harvester. Nothing too much trouble at all, her customer service was first class. Well done Harvester Cerys is most definitely a keeper!

Their food is delicious. They strive to serve customers very well. They have a delicious salad bar. It usually gets quite crowded at midday.

Visited today and it was very busy, however we were seated quickly (prebooked table for 5) and our order taken quickly. Emily was our server and she was lovely, very knowledgeable and friendly and even though she was very busy nothing was too much trouble for her. Please thank Emily and the chefs Liam and Jack as the service and food was outstanding. We will be visiting again soon.

Great experience. 40% off with the app. Really lovely service from Chelsea who say us away from a busy area as our baby was sleeping. Lovely food made by Liam and Jack!

Emily was professional, efficient and very pleasant. Liam and Jack provided tasty, well presented food. Diolch!

We visited Nov 25 for a lunch date. Turned up on speck and were seated. Due to using voucher we were NOT given option of set price lunch menu Husband chose signature chicken and chips I chose 10 oz steak with chips and beef dripping gravy. I asked for medium cooked steak When the food arrived was well pleased with the food appearance until ......... I cut into the steak It was not medium but nearly well done. When the waitress came to check we pointed it out and she took it back to have the food redone fresh. It took a little while . By the time it eventually did my husband had finished his meal. This spoilt our lunch altogether. I did not want to eat when he had finished so politely refused the meal. We weren't charged (as we should not have ) and left. Denise our waitress was lovely. Top marks. The food was a real disappointment 😞 😮‍💨 😒 Won't be coming back anytime in the near future. We were so disappointed when we normally have no issues.
