Harvester - Horwich Park Inn in Bolton

Firstly, the food when it eventually arrived was very nice. Chicken breast (small), chips (small), chicken gravy (pathetically small), 2 miniscule cubes of cornbread - all for nearly £14. Portion control rules here & unless you have a voucher & then still is ridiculously expensive. A sharing mixed grill was £50. Steaks not much change from £30! Jesus, it's a chain. No atmosphere at all in the Horwich, Bolton branch. 1st & very much last visit. Came home & made some toast....twas still hungry.

Very pleasant staff and good food. Unlimited entry is a good idea. I recommend.

Terrible service throughout, told staff I was allergic to garlic would have thought it was war. Food took forever to come and steak was overcooked due to the delay. Lack of training was evident with only one senior lady seeming to know anything. Asked for a tooth pick or cocktail stick afterwards none available. Last time I visit this restaurant.

Very nice tasty succulent chicken and ribs. Fresh very tasty salad. Best pudding 😋😋😋

food cold, about 20 chips on a portion of fish and chips. AVOID

Food for nine and everyone was happy. 👍😃 The staff were friendly and helpful with the food allergy and intolerance dinners. Salad bar. There are lots of different sauces to choose from. Refills, great selection of cold/iced soft drinks. A warm, welcoming atmosphere. Level access. Toilets.

The service from Nathan was amazing got our food very quickly even on a busy saturday

HARVESTER HORWICH PARK BOLTON - ate here 4 nights because Lorna was exceptional not only in booking our table but ensuring we were looked after throughout. The food was great including the unlimited salad which complimented our meals perfectly. Ourselves and The Exeter Pickleball Club would like to thank you Lorna for making the experience flawless with large tables booked for us with ease. Highly recommend on all levels. From Natasha & Martin R Pickleball

The only problem was that there was no Tata sauce with my fish which I enjoy with it. I also asked for salad but didn’t receive any.

Very good food and service from our server Nathan

We enjoyed everything. Thank you.

The food was not very hot the rice looked like someone had been eating it very little left in the container. I didn’t get my salad. The bag that it came in was not sealed.

Had a great meal, with a great atmosphere, creating a great experience 😄

Called in for late lunch before a visit to clarks to buy grandson shoes. The place was very quiet. We'd obviously missed the lunchtime rush, so getting seated, no problem. A good choice of meals and advice from our waitress on allergens for our grandsons meal. Always enjoy the free salad bowl 🥗 Service was a little slower than usual, maybe staff on breaks following a lunchtime rush. 🤔

Our table and pre order was ready on arrival which was great as limited to time due to being on break from work, staff were attentive and friendly from arrival to leaving.

We had a lovely breakfast at Harvester Pub, and our experience was made even better by our waitress, Amber. She seemed genuinely happy in her work, smiling throughout the service and making us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious, and Amber’s positive attitude really added to the overall atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Last week was wrong order, but this perfect this week.

Lovely place. We came here as we had a voucher, we wasn't expecting much being a chain restaurant. But we was pleasantly surprised. Inside is lovely, it had a lovely atmosphere considering it was fairly busy. Our server Rosie was a lovely young lady. She explained about the drinks menu and apologied about the prices not being right. we loved the salad bar. That added a lovely touch, our meals didn't take long at all to come out and they were stunning. We will definitely come again.

First time ordered from here very nice definitely order again thank you to the chef 👩‍🍳

I took my 2 grandsons out for tea. Served by Rosie. She was very attentive and nothing g was too much trouble. She had a lovely smile and I noticed she treated all her customers warmly. Rosie was very busy but she served us quickly and warmly. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend Harvester Horwich Park Bolton.

Very enjoyable we enjoyed everything. The only thing I would change was the cornbread we would prefer corn on the cob.

Came in tonight to try the new menu and oh my word how fantastic it is brilliant choices. I had the corn bread (delicious) as a side order. We were served by Wendy she was her usual happy self and couldn't do enough for us,we love her she's brill. We will definitely be recommending the new menu to friends and family and will certainly be back soon

Lad that served me all night dom was absolutely class. Great service great talk absolute boss - I believe his name was dom but the one who works behind the bar needs to be told his service is great

Came in today as you have a new menu and all I can say is wow its a game changer didn't know what to try it all sounds amazing the corn bread was lovely and the hummus starters were great.

Went out for a family tea 5 people 3 children 2 adults, Was served quite promptly with drinks, waited to place food order once this was done we was told they would bring our salad bowls which we still haven't seen even after we have left. Kids meals came out then adult meal. We were asked is that everything well no its not when there is 1 adult sat there with no food. Waited atleast 15 minutes before someone came and said sorry but something went wrong with the system and they would make it, waited a further 15 minutes and no food. So once everyone had finished we got up to leave. One of the staff daid sorry about your food which tells me they was not even bothering to make it. Went to see manager who still expected full payment but in the end knocked the drinks off. This to me is an absolute joke going out for a family meal for 1 person to be left out. Wont be returningany time soon.

Great food reasonably priced and fantastic service.

Came for lunch Friday afternoon and was served by a polite young lad Dominic he was brilliantkeep up the good work.

Great visit today at harvester food was delicious and Dominic our sever was outstanding would recommend.

Had a lovely meal before the football Dominic was great with the little ones and very helpful

Went for a meal on a Sunday evening and couldn't fault the service or the speed that the food was ready. We ordered Half Rotisserie Chicken and the Chargrilled Chicken Skewer both of which were cooked to perfection. Been a few times to the Harvester and would definitely recommend a meal here

I was very disappointed with our visit. We ordered 2 meals, we both had cold onion rings and chips, The pork belly was freezing cold inside despite being charred on the outside, both sets of ribs were cold too and the meal was a disaster food wise from start to finish. We travelled 30 mins past our closest harvester for this one and we wish we hadn't have visited. It was a £60 bill that we didn't enjoy paying for.

We had a great time, the food was great and Dom was brilliant 10/10. Thank you so much

Came in before a Bolton game. Lovely family atmosphere. All staff were friendly, particularly Wendy who served us. Food was really good, even with how busy it was! Would definitely come back

Wonderful refurbishment. Food is always high-quality and with Wendy; Lorna; James and Sam, you'll always be in safe hands. Ambience is excellent; cleanliness spotless and food cooked to virtual perfection. A warning though, DO BOOK on matchdays as it gets really busy when the Whites are at home!

Really nice food. Service was efficient and all staff were friendly, especially Wendy. Will be back, thank you!

I definitely recommend harvesters Horwich Fresh salad bowl and fresh bread buns with every main meal , friendly staff Dominic our server made our day he was very help full , made us laugh amazing sense of humour great service will definitely come back

We used the new room at the harvester after their refurb for a party venue and it was absolutely perfect. They put on a buffet that was very reasonably priced and we had so much food compared to other venues I've used. The staff go above and beyond and let us have early access to the room as well as helping us set up. Big thanks to Wendy and Lorna who were so helpful. Would definitely recommend for the private room or to have some dinner/tea in.

The delivery was fine but all the food was lukewarm. The chips definitely weren’t the best but the salad was great. Quite disappointing.

Excellent service, we were served by Amber. Had the breakfast, as usual excellent would recommend.

Working away, popped in for some food. Wendy was my server, she is an absolute credit to your business..I noticed that she is a team coach. If the other waiting staff are half as good as she was then you'll be absolutely fine! I had the 83 combo..it was delicious..ribs fell of the bone and were melt in the mouth. The chicken and chicken gravy were to die for! Having previously been in the industry I know good friendly staff can be hard to come by..yours were brilliant from start to finish. Thanks.

Lovely meal. Wendy was cheerful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Great food, great service. Very friendly staff.

Food and staff top notch, will return

Lovely birthday surprise from the staff today. Great food and service as always

Food nice except the bread rolls on the salad bar - they were hard and very dry. None of us finished eating one.

Great service from Abbie. She was really nice to us and answered any of our questions regarding the menu! Will definitely go again! Loved the food. Fresh and good value.

Lovely food, although the wait for the drinks was a lot longer than it should be.

Another good visit, staff and food great. Went for the chicken Tuesday was not disappointed, great meals.

Not really the young servers fault when things are named so similar but I ordered the double dirty one and received a double dirty bird, on receiving my dish I pointed it out and it was replaced by a single burger, at which time my family had nearly finished so I took the single and asked for it to be changed on the bill. Was also disappointed to be charged for the kids desert as I thought it was included even with the kids eat free for £1 offer. Salad bar was well stocked although the pasta was dry. Chicken skewers were nice but not a lot of chicken for the price. Food was served hot and in a reasonable time.

Most of my order was fine., however Inwas disappointed with the breaded mushroom starter. I received only 5 mushrooms, some quite small which for £4.99 was less than expected and what was illustrated in the picture when I ordered them. i cannot fault the side salad at £2.99 of which there was plenty, although there was a lot of green and white onion which I had to remove.

Everything was fine. Thank you.

Fabulous homecooked food from starters to deserts. Staff are great too. Wendy is so helpful and Lorna made us feel right at home. We'll see you again soon

Shout out to all the staff who worked flat out to serve the football and darts crowds. Great food and service and always with a smile 😃

Great pub Lorna and Georgia were excellent and very welcoming. Also great with allergies!

Lovely Staff, very friendly and food was good

Great honest food at a good price.

No beans or toast ! Normally ok but big let down today !

Arrived at restaurant the whole big family seated in a lovely room love the seating outside too it's a little suntrap .Took a little while for drinks as there were a lot of us and then making our minds up food wise lots of good ordered all very decent no complaints from anyone and everyone loved the salad bar .I had a chicken flatbread and my husband has gammon both very tasty family members had fish and chips burgers chicken skewers again full stomachs no complaints even the desserts were lovely the staff were great would recommend people try this restaurant.

The food was delicious and there was a nice and fresh variety at the salad bar with plenty of accompaniments. The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

Waited an hour after ordering food and it still hadnt arrived. Left after 66mins

We’ve been here many times and it’s usually fine, but today the service was almost non existent. Extremely slow and no one bothering to attend to us. We had to searching for someone. No jacket spuds either! Food mediocre.

Great location, good food and new improved restaurant.

Nice atmosphere and very nice staff. I had a grilled chicken salad with a side of rice and beans, which was very dry. Had I known a salad bar came with every dinner, I would have chosen a rotisserie chicken dish. The chicken looked juicy and tasty. It was cosy and roomy. A perfect place for a family and a big group as well.

What a lovely place,came for my sister's belated birthday, can't fault anything,thank you so much

Bought a wowcher voucher and tried the chain for the first time in years, I was pleasantly surprised how good it was, the service and environmental is what made is fantastic, the staff couldn't do enough for us, I loved the sald bar

Service was excellent We were looked after by Bex who was very friendly

Two arrived on time, third late due to train issues. Staff patient & allowed us to wait. Service by all staff was faultless- checked if we wanted top up drinks while we patiently waited but not overbearing. Cleared tables promptly, checked all was ok. Food perfectly cooked & tasty. Large portions, one main & we were stuffed. Love the new colours & refurb- however, as we sat at our table near the radiator- painted & coloured to match the walls, we noted the huge amount of dirt/dust inside the radiator. Obviously cleaned & painted outside but not cleaned/dusted inside. There are brushes that can do this as we use them at home.

Made to feel Welcome & great customer service

Food is always lovely but please don’t advertise a free salad if you are not going to supply. It’s a limited offer not a first come first served offer.

Ordered a classic breakfast and was well pleased. Bacon was of great quality with little fat and lightly grilled. Lovely flavour! Hash browns crispy and golden with great taste, not greasy. Sausages were meaty and tasty. Everything else was 100%. You can tell it was all cooked fresh and not just dumped on the plate! Well done!

Food arrives before you have finished the previous course and we all felt that we were being rushed to finish and get out.

Always a seat available. Service really quick. Sometimes a wait for food but freshly cooked mostly. Baked potato a bit cold as though it had waited for the rest to be cooked!

Great food, large portions. Be carefull if staying at premier Inn as harvester does not take the Premier Inn card but other than that a great place to eat

We had a lovely meal. The food was tasty and plentiful and well presented. The restaurant itself was busy but still felt cosy. Wendy showed us to our table and left us to browse the menu. She was very informative and attentive but didn’t pester us at all. Overall a very enjoyable evening at Harvester Middlebrook

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service from Bex!

Had a painful experience at the harvester on Saturday Firstly our cutlery was dirty which already put us off our food. When are breakfast came out (English breakfast) it did look lovely but once we tried it the eggs were dry and crumbly, food was tasteless. I then found a hair in my breakfast which made me gag and had to send it back to the kitchen. I then had a staff member come up to me and state that it was part of the egg. I know what a hair looks like it was not a part of the egg, and where I found the hair it was no where near the egg. Once I got a new meal I asked for a drink which I was ignored and when I called for her she got very annoyed. After this nauseous meal we asked for the bill, which took 2 staff members, as we asked for the card machine but they gave us 2 copy’s of the receipt. When they finally knew to give us the card machine they had no idea how to use it. This was truly brain numbing. The only good thing about this harvester was that there was a lovely lad named luis who made sure we got what we needed. I would definitely recommend to just go to the premier inn for breakfast it’s incredible!

Our service was lovely and the food was delicious. This was a second visit based on how much our nephew enjoyed it on his last visit. Kids menu is fab.

Everything was delicious. Thank you.

We come here all the time. Wendy is the best host for us. Great laugh, always attentive, we always make sure we get Wendy’s attention. An absolute credit to Harvester!

Food was lovely arrived in quick time and tasted fresh and warm. The barman Alex was good chat and served a nice pint

I went out for a meal with my partner the food was good and the service from Alex was good he had a fantastic attitude towards myself and other customers. I would recommend this place to family

We visit often and tend to have Wendy as our waitress and she’s an absolute delight! Very attentive and chatty we really enjoy our visits and Wendy adds to it!

First day open after the refurb all I can say is you have done a fantastic job the place looks amazing. The service was excellent and the food as always is great we will definitely be coming in again soon to see you all as you have amazing staff and a great restaurant

Came tonight for food it was amazing service from Bex and Lorna was perfect will return xxx

First day after the re-opening, amazing food. Really friendly staff. Had the Eggs Benedict, the bacon was done to perfection, poached eggs with creamy whites, great muffins and hollandaise sauce. Would definitely go again

Excellent service and delicious food!

Excellent experience as usual, Wendy was extremely attentive and the food was great. Highly recommend.

Food amazing as always service great love the dirty bird burger xx

Friendly team and a great experience, closing for a refurb, can't wait to come back when it reopens.

Was due to close for a refurbished in 10 days and is needed but great staff and food was good

Staff lied about opening times in order to sit and have drinks themselves. Despite advertising 11pm closing, they clearly decide opening times based on their own needs/wants. Doors were open but unwilling to serve with no explanation as to why...teenagers - gotta love 'em!

Our server sat at quickly. We were also given enough time to look at the menu before being approached if we were ready to order. She took our order swiftly and gave us our salad bowls very quick. The meals came out in an appropriate amount of time after having our salad. The server asked if our food was okay. We really enjoyed our meals and were asked if we would like the dessert menu to which we said yes. She brought the menu over straight away and we gave her our order not long after. Our desserts arrived and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We finished and our server came to clear the table and once we asked, gave us our bill. Very lovely experience.

The only reason I put quality as two stars is that they sent the wrong chips I ordered sweet potato fries but didn’t get them. Try reading the order next time.

Our waitress Katie was wonderful. She was very helpful, happy and polite. Thank you Katie

Katie is amazing thank you for great service xxx

Katie was very attentive and very attractive. 5 stars from me

Called in for the first time yesterday (12/04/2024) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It had a nice relaxed atmosphere and the food was great but what made this place really stand out from your usual pub lunch wad our waitress Katie. She was truly outstanding. Very knowledgable when it came to the menu and was was never without a smile on her face. She couldn't have done more for myself and the kids. Thank you and we will definately be returning in the near future.

Katie our waitress looks after us from the minute we sit down till we leave, she is friendly and nothing is too much. Can’t fault her. Food is delicious and not long to wait for it. We are regulars at the one in Horwich, well recommended 👌☺️

great experience, brilliant atmosphere, lovely service from Katie. always had a smile when serving and was fast to serve customers.

A lovely Harvester restaurant. Good parking and great food. Usually some good deals on (check online). The service was excellent and there is the free salad bar too. Thanks for reading.
