Harvester Port Solent in Portsmouth

Absolutely amazing service and food! Vivi was so helpful and even brought over ice cream and a candle to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday! Couldn’t recommend enough!

We came for our twin daughters 24th birthday. Our server Vivi was amazing. She went above and behond for us. Nothing was to much trouble. She even came our with our puddings and a surprise ice cream candle and we all sang to them. Vivi sang as well. Such a lovely lady and I can honestly say it was the best experience in a very long time .

Omg never been here before but will definitely be back, VIVI who served us was super friendly and helpful and is a real credit to the team. If only our local Harvester in Haywards Heath was like this one and staff were as friendly. The food was served in good times and tasted great.

We have a family lunch today and Vivi is the perfect host. She is always smiling and efficient. Thank you Vivi for this. Also we enjoy the food at Harvester that is why we keep coming back.

caroline. was our waitress this evening and she was absolutely incredible, such a lovely girl, really attentive, joined in our laughs, and was just everything you want in a waitress. thank you for making our evening so great. 😀

Food quality is not bad but has not improved since a few years ago.

Lovely, Easter Set Menu was a nice treat and the view of the boats was lovely to be able to look out at. Good choice of kids meals also

Went once in 2025 with Replicant06, the EDM artist to celebrate his release "La vida ideal". It was a real good day made by the music of Replicant06. Cheers.

Had a lovely lunch, food was lovely and quick. Ruby was our server she was amazing and chatty x

Great service, super aware and knowledgeable about the crazy amount of peanuts in most of the dishes!

Saturday lunchtime. Slow service, some food forgotten, pasta meal over cooked and way over priced. Overall quality of experience poor.

Great service from Vivi. She was lovely, attentive and patient. She is a really credit to your team working incredibly hard on a busy Good Friday lunch shift. Food was lovely.

The service, presentation and food where all first class. The staff where extremely attentive. 100% recommend

Nice food. Server (Niamh) was polite and fun. Willing to accommodate tricky orders. Overall good experience. :-)

Niamh was very friendly, extremely professional and helpful. Would recommend!!

Niamh was fantastic, efficient and very friendly! One of the best servers we’ve had here, would definitely recommend!!

Niamh deserves to win the competition

Fab food and service, thank you Niamh x

We had an amazing meal here. Our server Niamh was fun, friendly and just overall amazing. Thank you Niamh for making our lunch fun and for making the kids giggle. 🤣

Great venue, food and service. This is our second visit and still spot on!

ordered pasta shells and they forgot about it for about 45 minutes and additionally, they didn't provide us with steak knives until we had to step in ourselves and grab them. absolute disgrace

We ordered pasta shells and they forgot about our table for 30 mins and didn't give us steak knifes until we asked wouldn't recommend

Nice restaurant but we had an unusually bad visit. Poor service which i assume is not normal and dirty/empty salad bar. I hope that other patrons have a better experience

Amazing Vivi. Such a brilliant, happy waitress. Very open about the wait but she made it worthwhile. So cheerful. Ribeye steak was very good, nice jacket potato and side salad.

Good harvester, food served quickly but we went at a quiet time, menu has good range of options, staff nice, right by marina so if you got a window seat it's nice to look out, can be pricey no parking nearby only the big car park in front of cinema to my knowledge

We visited on a very busy Saturday night, and were sat upstairs. Although there were some ‘challenging’ tables, our waitress Melissa took it all in her stride. Thanks for looking after us

Beautiful setting. Sat upstairs with views over the marina and had a nice lunch

Great food and even better service!

Long wait for food even though the place was nearly empty. Staff was just sitting around doing nothing. Had to go and get out own drinks and cutlery, then our food arrived cold and was missing a kids meal then we were told that the kids meal was ordered on a separate order and it's why it didn't come with our meals which was not true as we have only placed one order with everyone's meal in it. Rude lady at the front of the restaurant. Will not go back

The service at this place was extremely disappointing. We placed our order through the app and waited 20 minutes without receiving our drinks. I ended up going to the bar myself to collect them. Shortly after, I had to return again to pick up our salad bowl, as that still hadn’t been brought to the table either. As for the food, I ordered the ribs, and we also had a salmon dish and a kid’s steak meal. About 20 minutes after I’d collected the drinks, the food finally arrived—but only two plates: the ribs and the salmon. The salmon was freshly cooked and tasted okay, but the ribs and chips were completely cold, despite the plate being scorching hot. To make matters worse, the kid’s meal still hadn’t arrived. When we went to ask about it, we were told it hadn’t even been cooked yet and we’d need to wait another 10 minutes. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay—just poor communication and attitude all around. Definitely not an ideal experience.

Had yet another nice meal here. It was busy but the food was great and the team did their best to ensure we had a good time thank you Mya and Niamh

If I could give a zero star rating I would We come out for Mother’s Day with a group of friends, we sat down took anyone ages to come over then it took over half an hour to get our glasses for refills and then we got our food bowls which was great but most of them were dirty and then also most of the cutlery were dirty with food still on them then we were waiting for over an hour expecting the food to come sooner food never come we ended up paying for refills and just leaving so We didn’t end up having any dinner. We had four kids with us they were all starving restless My partner has a medical condition so he took his medication relevant to the food he was gonna eat and now we’ve got a rush somewhere else to try and get him some food before the insulin takes not once has anyone apologised we’ve just been demanded to pay for the refills which we were happy to do so but there was no apology. They weren’t even busy. Salad bar Oh, and I forgot to add the salad bar was understocked and my daughter come and got some pasta and it was still frozen. She coulndt eat it.

Waited well over an hour for food, told multiple times it was only 10 mins away. Cutlery was still dirty so were the drinks.

Just been out for a lovely present mothers day meal with the family.the food was great and came out in good time the atmosphere was very nice and the staff were amazing. special thanks to caroline our server,she was so attentive and friendly.she made our visit very enjoyable.thank you very much

Good food and lovely service from Niamh

Although it was busy Ruby went out of her way to make sure we were served quickly and efficiently. Lovely girl a complete asset to you.

Good food nothing fancy, served by Niamh very polite and cheery. Very happy with our meal

Absolutely amazing. Thank you dear Caroline😀

An outstanding service from Caroline, very kind and patient. We had an amazing birthday party thanks to her

Our waitress Caroline was very kind and attentive, being a complicated order with allergies she made it super easy and straight forward - Thank you

Waiting 20 minutes for my drinks then one was forgotten and had to wait a further 15… food was AWFUL COLD and under cooked!!!! Waited over an hour and a half for food they weren’t even busy! £90 food bill when hardly any of it was eaten!!! WILL NOT return to port Solent Harvester!!!

The food was lovely and really reasonable for a lovely lunch out! Vivi was fantastic, attentive and friendly! We would recommend!

Melissa served us tonight. She was absolutely fantastic polite and professional.

Had a great meal and are waitress Kay was amazing, so helpful and friendly and advised us on the different dishes offered

The whole team are great, in particular Suzi and Michelle, make it the perfect all around dining venue.

Had breakfast very nice . Vivi lovely lady so friendly , polite pleasant to speak to we will be back

Lovely place, the food was good and filling but the best part was the service! Maya was extremely friendly and made a really good tropical cooler. Would recommend the harvester port Solent and will definitely ask for Maya again next time we’re here.

Pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service from Viv. Thank you

Had breakfast here at the weekend, only 3 staff members but they did a really good job. Food was good. Will definitely go back

Vivi is a fantastic lady always happy and helpful. She's an asset to Harvester. .

Great service from vivi as usual 👍😁

Went for lunch, served by Vivi who was lovely and the food was amazing

Visited with a friend for lunch. She ate off main menu I had 2 course from lunchtime menu. Food was delicious, hot and served in a timely way. Server was helpful and friendly. New menus good too.

Friendly server Michelle, food arrive quickly and as always the pancakes were soft, fluffy & delicious 😋

Shocked! Went for lunch, arrived and outside looked a mess, plates all over tables! Then got seated upstairs, waiter came took order, we waited over 40 mins for a small kids meal, 😒 so ordered pudding when main came, as there was such a wait, on which we were not advised about! Salad bar, looked like it had not been replenished, brown lettuce and mouldy brown rolls, we went downstairs for fresher rolls. Every1 was waiting ages for food upstairs, whilst waiters just stood behind bar chatting. The tables that had left, where not cleaned or wiped down, within the hour we were there! I ordered pudding at 4.20pm and never received it until 5.05pm when I had to go to bar and pay and ask twice for it!!! Extremely shocked by lack of guest service and not a great reputation for company.

Four of us went to Port Solent Harvester for the first time 04.03.25. It was to celebrate my son's 35th birthday. We were supplied great food, and Ruby who looked after us was thorough, attentive and funny, with a great sense of humour. We will definitely come back. Hopefully Ruby will be there. ❤

Like this Harvester, friendly staff, good position, dog friendly

Perfect service from Vivi and great food!

Cold near the front door, draughty!!

Vivi was an absolute star. So attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend coming. And ask for her if you want a good experience!!

Brilliant service and food as always

Lovely setting on the Marina at Port Solent. Excellent service great food and good value for money.

My first time there as seeing friends nice, relaxed place with a good view, friendly staff and pleasant food, would definitely go again and recommend this place.

Had a good meal with friends and 2 kids ...very accommodating and food was delicious, salad bar was good too.

Another great visit to the Harvester. Our waitress VIVI was amazing as always served us a number of times of the years. She has been a waitress at the harvester for 15 years. Great customer service and team working. Thank you.

Great food and service as always. Vivi always looks after us when we come and nothing is too much trouble. She is such an asset to the Harvester brand.

Great meal as always. Our children love visiting and it’s always great. Vivi is the best host, always looking after you. She is real credit to the team. Our Daughter loved the cuddly toy.

Visit was for an anniversary lunch. Met by Vivi and given choice of seating. Food excellent and service by Vivi was fantastic. Would recommend to everyone and will definitely be back again.

As usual we had a lovely meal, food allergies were quickly sorted before I ordered. The waitress, Vivi, was attentive, efficient and cheerful. We will definitely be returning!

I try to not type cast big chains and judge individually. But Hareveters seem consistently mid tier. I ordered the three small plates and while it wasn't bad, it could have been better. The nachos are drowned in sauce and a jelly like chilli sauce which was off putting in look and taste. The halloumi fries were very oily in taste but the Breaded mushrooms were the saving plate. My housemate had eggs benidict which looked like it had been thrown on the plate and the poached eggs were pretty hard. Considering how many staff were stood about, they weren't exactly attentive. Value for money wise, it is pretty good. But the overall experience is very mid.

We went to the Harvester for a drink. The young bar person serving ignored me not once but twice. I presume this other member of staff was a manager, knew that I had been ignored, and did apologise, but that is not the point! At no time did the young bar person acknowledge me say sorry or even give me eye contact. We had our drinks and left, there were glasses and dirty plates outside on the tables. These were there when we arrived. Poor.

Amanda served us today and she was brilliant. Really kind, attentive and a lovely energy. Would definitely recommend. Food was good too. Thank you!

Food was great, our server, Caroline was amazing and always eager to help, will definitely come back

Had a very nice birthday meal out here. The food was great(as I've come to expect from here) and our server Caroline provided excellent service, joining in with the jokes at our table and making a great experience for us!

Our server Caroline was lovely, food was nice.

Great service from Ruby Food very good. We were a bit cold but had sign at entrance that pointed out there was no heating and engineer due. Would definitely go back.

Chose here because they had indoor areas for dogs to stay by table. Coped well with soya intolerance.

Four stars for the attentive waitress.. No stars for the cold food...!@

Food was great as usual. Waitress was chatty and friendly and polite. Staff member Doyle was friendly and humorous which was nice.

Service is appalling, to large families came in 1/2 hour after us and both received their food and left before we got our mains, we constantly had to chase for everything, the salad bar was near empty, it was a nightmare evening for our anniversary dinner!

It was nice to have lunch with you on our special Valentine day. Ashleigh, one of your staff was amazing. Thank you to the team especially Ashleigh, big thanks to you.

I went before and it was lovely but this time it wasn’t so good. We came in and got directed to our table and our server was with us within 10 minutes which is perfect timing and we got our drinks immediately but then the starter took 20 minutes to arrive when it was just chicken fries just one bowl of them which is an ok wait time but was slightly pushing it then we had to wait about an hour and 15-20 min from ordering for our main meals to come and my partner was missing the main part of his meal which was a steak and my food was actually a bit cold. It is a shame as last time we had gone it was amazing service and great food however this time it had really let us down.

Visited on Sunday and we found it to be quite busy, but suzie are waitress was lovely and very friendly and had no problem in helping when we had a few questions about the menu. Thank you

I have been going to the harvester in Port Solent for years. Always clean great selection of reasonable priced food. Service is always good. We normally sit at the server Vivi's area, wonderful polite lady, giving you a smile and quick service. Vivi never rushes me.

Good waitress service, pleasant friendly. Surprised to see dog friendly area to left of main doors.

Nothing to fault great food and service

offered a free mixed salad, but when delivered no salad so a con!

Excellent Breakfast to start another day of exploring. We always get a wonderful friendly welcome from Vivi. This Harvester overlooks port Solent and is ideal for looking to decide which if the Boats you can't afford.

Had a wonderful meal our waitress was Vivi and she was so lovely. Food was delicious

Had a couple of drinks with speedy service. Ordered food = two balance bowls one steak one chicken. Both bowls absolutely awful, mainly consisted of little gem lettuce and red peppers! no rice at all as stated on the menu. Ruby came to collect the dishes and after asking if all was ok I stated no they weren't nice at all. Ruby took the dishes and never said a word just walked away, no apology nothing. Rude! Will not return will stick to Weatherspoons!

Service was excellent from ruby. thank you

The waitress was very attentive and personable. The Food and drinks arrived in a timely manner, Would like to see Salmon/Fish on Menu,

We had a great time. The food was really good. Vivi was amazing and was so helpful. She’s a real credit to your company

Haven't been in absolutely ages but definitely wasn't disappointed. Pleased to see fresh decor, food was delicious and service was good just a bit slow but was to be expected since it was quite busy. Portions were generous so we took some left overs home. We got a cardboard box with no wax paper or foil or anything inside which was disappointing. The sauce etc absorbed into the box and the leftovers tasted like cardboard .....Other than that a perfect meal and great atmosphere

Visit was a little disappointing for my husband he was so looking forward to to having chips but they cook onions rings in it why don’t they keep a fryer for the gluten free things if it was for a vegetarian try would be accomadated he has coeliac and he meal was so much smaller than mine

Prices are not too bad but slightly more expensive than the Wetherspoons nearby. Nice big restaurant with great views of the harbour, especially from upstairs. The free salad bar is excellent and usually the main reason my kids like to visit.

Ruby was our server. Very helpful, friendly and efficient

Food is basic but okay, service was very Friendly and helpful, it's a pub with an eating area, typical Harvester corporate atmosphere

Very pleasant morning, Vivi was really helpful ☺️ she has served us before always polite and really helpful very attentive.

Friendly staff tasty food and priced fairly And good position by marina
