Harvester Griffin Taunton in Taunton Deane

I have being going to many harvesters over the country for many many years, but today the meal I had ,Roast chicken that was absolutely disgusting, 12 peas , jacket potato that was a size of a chickens egg!!, broccoli 2 pieces, that thank god I got my real teeth, must have been on the boil for at the most 6 seconds, and as for the advertised gravy, should be prosecuted under the trade discreption act, it came out in a thimble size that I remember my dear ole grandmother use to use in 1953, to add insult to injury ole tattoo waiter told me that the excuse for chicken was normal, as they soak it in water overnight, well I am no chef but when chicken is inedable, and it certainly was not edable , i expect meet not watery meat, i would suggest the chicken was taken from the freezer straight under the grill, after a couple of minutes of discussion Tattoo decided to take it back,told us it will take between 10.to 12 minutes for the the replacement was ready, it was exactly the same,unbelievable, the waitress who looked after us after tattoo matey left, apologised, it such a shame ,even the salad bar was empty, I have never expected a refund, as if I have a poor meal I never go back, and I certainly will not, Harvester you must look at your chef at Taunton and the Tattoo waiter who by the way is male and very aggressive , moan over 2 very disappointed ex customers

Certain drinks ( White Wine ) unavailable! Food didn't represent the description on the menu .The half chicken & where was the corn on the Cob that was advertised? Served an unedible cube of overfried sweet corn. Also, ladies' toilets had No toilet paper, No soap in the dispensers, & Hand dryer wasn't working! Very Disappointed with the whole experience. Our waitress, Felcitee, was lovely, & tried to help & resolve our concerns.

Lot of people but everything was dealt quietly. The waiter at the bar was very kind and served us (table 103) with smile and sense of humour.

Absolutely brilliant place to eat ❤️❤️

Remy mullet looks very mullet like and grown nicely, good service also good thanks you

We came in for lunch today, can’t fault the food. However the service was quite poor, our waiter wasn’t attentive at all. Our salad bowls weren’t delivered, my partner had to go get them from our waiter who was stood behind the bar chatting to his work colleague. However, Our food came out in a timely manor, and the food was amazing props to the kitchen staff. Once we had finished with our meal, we were offered dessert menus which we had agreed to. However our waiter Randy never came back after 25 minutes we decided to go find him just to find him yet again behind the bar chatting to some colleagues and making inappropriate comments and hand gestures.

Great value for money and top service. We have been visiting here for over 20 years and like anywhere you go some days can be great and others ok and a very few days can be not so great ones. If you are looking for a friendly atmosphere and food for everyone of all ages then this is the place.

Lovely meal at Taunton harvester our waitress Debbie was great

Debbie was lovely, very attentative, and great service! Thanks Debbie!

Lovely time, great service, good food. Gracie was a delight to be served by, and was very cheerful.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, Gracie was a nice, friendly, and helpful waitress.

We had breakfast here on Saturday 22/02/25. The three of us had the classic breakfast which consisted of two of everything. My issue is that the yokes of my fried eggs came out hard, all of our toast was stale and I was given all the crusts from the loaf of bread. The two eggs I had were really tiny. Maybe offer a breakfast which consists of one of everything with a larger egg. On a positive, what we did have was fine, tea and coffee was unlimited.

Well, I've had to update this as it wasn't quite what it use to be! £48 on 2 meals steak and battered hallumi with chips.. very pricey, service was okay but was just sat down and left with no return until I prompted a member of staff about the salad.. 10 minutes later we received our bowls.. quarter of the way through our salad our main food came out.. £4.30 each on salad it's a little extortionate.. overall I doubt I'll be coming back here again due to cost. Steak medium rare came out more medium than medium rare.. But I will comment on how professional the staff were when spoken to and very well dressed hense the 4* would have been 5* if we hadn't of had to ask about salad and ordering our main.. I'd understand if they was busy but it wasn't exactly that busy.

Starters came out quickly, but then we waited an eternity for our main clearly they had been forgotten as others who came in after us got there food before us, server was apologetic and kept telling us it was coming but took well over an hour and a half for 2 courses when it wasn’t even that busy food was okay luke warm when it came out but didn’t want to complain in case it was taken away and we had another hours wait, been before and not had an issue but will definitely think twice before coming back again paying over £100 for three of us would expect quicker!

We went for a quick bite and the service and attention was exceptional. The food we enjoyed as we had 2 starters and salad. can't knock our server at all. 2 very sceptical people who enjoyed in the end TH

Friendly and helpful staff who were able to assist my wife who has a food intolerance. However, the best thing about The Griffin is its location - right next to J25 of the M5! We often drive from our home in the south midlands to Devon or Cornwall and always factor in a meal at The Griffin. So, so, so much nicer than a motorway service area!

The service was excellent, prompt and pleasant. Smiley professional staff. Excellent food No improvements needed for me thanks

The food was amazing. Very tasty and plenty of it. The steak was just perfect (cooked by Tom) and the skewers were also nicely cooked. Debbie looked after us and was great for recommendations and suggestions, particularly about the Build your own Sundae. She went out of her way to ensure we had a great evening. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you.

Food was good and Kirsty gave us great service.

Food was delicious. Debbie was extremely friendly and very efficient. We would highly recommend.

Our drinks were ordered promptly but had ask for a waitress to take our food order as we seemed to be forgotten. The condiments seemed mostly empty including the blue cheese dressing to put on our salad. Basically not enough staff as our waitress was rushed off her feet.

Food was very good but a choice of batter or bread crumbs regarding the Haddock would be good. The food was hot unlike one Saturday evening we were served 'tepid' food. The waitress was lovely and very polite and helpful, Lidya is written on the 'give us a review card, so I'm guessing that is the name of the waitress who served us.

Our waitress Lidya was lovely and friendly and efficient.

Enjoyed our family breakfast. Excellent service from Lidy, very attentive and helpful

Visited the Harvester Griffin Taunton. We absolutely love the harvester. It is so nice as we can walk over to the Restaurant. Sandra and her team have done it again they just go above and beyond our waitress was Rosie-may she is so nice friendly and just goes out of her way to help. Meals today 15/02/2025 was the original combo with chips and chicken bacon waffle delicious

Friendly welcome nice table layout with sliding divider. Nice touch. Great service by Rosie-May. Checked several times on our meal. Smiley young girl working hard Well done

Lovely food and brilliant service our waiter was Randy and he was really good today we had a nice chat and he was really enthusiastic and just really joyful to have as our server today so thank you Randy Steak was also brilliant

Food was delightful and delicious Remy was working super hard this evening and definitely deserves some recognition for his hard work

Honestly had a really lovely evening here. The food was so so good and the music was proper good tunes. I do want to give a mention to Randy who was so helpful and was honestly the sweetest server I’ve ever had so thank you again to the staff for brilliant food and a brilliant atmosphere, you were all incredible :))

Our visit was on Valentine's day. We were seated away from the music and not near bright lights which was my request when booking which was great. The waitress was very pleasant, patient and attentive. The food was lovely and my husband's steak was just how he wanted it. I love the salad bar which was well stocked. Is was great for the drinks we wanted especially my husbands no alcohol beer choice. He was able to get a % off with his NHS blue light card. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Excellent service from Felicitee 🥰

Excellent service. Debbie was great, will definitely come again. Thanks for a nice evening

We went to the harvester in taunton and Debbie was really nice and so helpful. She made sure that everything was 100% perfect and was overall very lovely.

Debbie delivered perfect customer service and made sure that everything was really good before we started eating.

Lovely food , great atmosphere & Debbie our waitress was helpful polite and knowledgeable as Thankyou again harvester for a lovely meal again

The waitress was so lovely, polite and accommodating her name was debbie

We were served by Debbie today, absolutely lovely waitress and she strived to get us the best offers for our meal today which was really appreciated. We were also late for our booking by accident and were worried we’d get turned away but the lady who greeted us squeezed us in which was very kind. Couldn’t have asked for better service today.

Debbie was fantastic! Very helpful

The service from all of the waiters was amazing, the wait time for food and drinks was good as well. All round a very positive experience and I don’t think there’s anything to improve!

We were a party of 16 for breakfast and service by Kirsty was wonderful and the food was good. Would recommend.

Breakfast was tasty but cold... so was the hot chocolate! Service is usually prompt but not this time even though it was early and only one other couple in. Be sure to register your car reg as last time we visited we got a fine, which they did agree to cancel after a phone call.

Food was good, our waitress was lovely. Just one criticism which I hope gets noticed, the entire restaurant was really cold. Majority of people were sat with their coats and hats on. It is February, the front door was propped open and the cold draught was really unpleasant.

Debbie our server was great and apparently her son (Dan), the food was great value for £8 chicken Tuesday. The salad bar was well stocked and the food came out quickly, well cooked and hot.

We were served today by Naomi and had a fabulous meal with excellent service.

Excellent food and service by all, especially Naomi, who couldn't do enough for me Thanks so much. I highly recommend 😀

Fantastic service from Naomi tonight for a family meal. Food was good, broad range with a good choice of vegan options.

Great meal this evening, salad bar was well stocked and staff were happy to refill items when asked. Naomi was our waitress and she was very helpful, friendly and professional. Will definitely return

A great meal and excellent service from Naomi our waitress x

Amazing food quality. Staff were welcoming. Great atmosphere.

Debbie my Host, was absolutely delightful! Friendly and couldn't do more for me. Everything was taken care of regarding my food allergies. Brilliant pub and i will return

Debbie was brilliant - really quick service and such good value for money!

Lovely friendly staff and great food

Lovely food and quick service, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

I don't think you could improve on anything on this time , we got checked in 15 mins before time of meal , which was great , we got service almost straight away , which was first time ever , in coming here , and the food was nice and hot and no problems at all , with the lady who served as at the table , she made sure we had everything we needed at table , so over all , service was just about perfect ty.

Naomi was an excellent waitress - very patient with our large demanding family

Naomi was great, really enjoyed this harvester experience which made for a great double birthday evening. Thank you

Amazing as usual, been going to Harvester for a long time and always been quality food. The service was great, Naomi was able to manage my big family and all our orders were correctly delivered. One of the nicest restaurants in Taunton and atmosphere is great

All the food was amazing, great customer service but the only downside was the length of time we were waiting for the food. It was well worth it though as you could tell the time and effort put into my chicken, bacon, and waffle, and was a great birthday meal for me. Naomi was a great server and was happy to put up with all our arguing over the food.

Fantastic quality food and service with a smile very polite and professional with all the customers around thank you Naomi!

Served by Naomi, very friendly, very efficient and helpful.

Great service from the staff especially Félicitée, good choice of food of good quality

Lidya was like a breath of fresh air. A lovely, bubbly, helpful young lady.

Had a lovely dinner and Debbie was very helpful and made us aware of any swaps or changes that could be done for the meals, was a great experience :)

Debbie was wonderful, amazingly attentive, despite being very busy. Nothing was too much trouble - thank you!

The overall experience was lovely. My partner steak was over cooked and cold but he said it was a lovely piece of meat

Kirsty our waitress/server was absolutely fabulous, great service, friendly and went above and beyond. Thank you Kirsty. 😊

Food not all that had a massive mixed grill with slightly undercooked chicken, rare to very well done stake, anemic sausages. Won't be having this again

Alexandra was very prompt with my order and delivery of my food

Didn't book, but the team were happy to accommodate. Tables spaced well apart, so not sat on top of other customers. Nice friendly service from Tyler, made us feel welcome.

Lovely meal with very friendly service by Kerry.

Tyler my host was the best I had ever

Josh is a credit to the branch. Was friendly even though it was really busy. Food was good and service was speedy.

Josh the waiter is a good chap, funny and helpful,, food was delicious, steak cooked to perfection by Carl the chef!

Lunch at Harvester today and were served by Kirsty, who couldn't have been more helpful, efficient and friendly. Highly recommend sitting in her area, if you get the chance.

Great service as always and the food was great, one of my favourite places to eat in Taunton

Good food, although salad bar could do with restocking!

What a great place to have a breakfast! Lovely food. Alot for the little we paid. Plus we had an amazing waitress called Kirsty who was lovely! She was so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us! She made.the visit! Thank you Kirsty!

Lovely food. Excellent service from Dan. Would come back.

Dan was a great host, very attentive, good customer service, couldn’t be more helpful with the menu and food choices.

If we could give 6* we would. Fantastic friendly service (thank you Dan), great food with well cooked steaks and good portions, well stocked salad bar.

Amazing food and the server was great! Shout out to Cameron!! Also to Bradley behind the bar… thanks for a lovely evening

4 people dining. Cold food, sent back reheated in microwave. (It was chicken breast, so it shrank and became tough and dry) Wrong side order arrived and replacement took ages, so diner had finished main course before the side came out. Pulled beef in bbq sauce had literally no beef, just sauce. All meals substandard and not as described in menu. Very overpriced for the quality. Server's were ok and dealt with situation well. Will not be returning.

Food was cold Steak very fatty and under cooked Not enjoyable
