Harvester The Jolly Badger in Barnet

We would love to thank Macie for her excellent service at the jolly badger today! Bought us over a spare plate whilst bringing out our meal without us having to ask! Very kind and polite waitress and seemed to know her stuff very well! 👍🏻

Shannon was absolutely brilliant and she made sure that we all had a good time and the food was absolutely delicious and therefore would recommend coming back

Service was great but Julie was absolutely exceptional. Friendly with a positive attitude and great banter. Would happily visit again.

This spot is great for dinner, whether it be casual, business or for celebrations. Seats were comfortable and food was enjoyable and delicious. Our server was called Elliot and was one of the kindest servers I have ever met. He deserves a pay rise 😂. Hats off to him and the rest of the servers were a joy aswell.

Was served by Crystal-Lily, she was outstanding, atmosphere was incredible, food was incredible. All staff were incredible during a busy Mother’s Day evening! Definitely recommend.

Crystal-lily was our server, she was amazing, the food was good and great atmosphere. Great mother’s day all in all. Thank you

Excellent breakfast as usual and Julie is a superb waitress, always very pleased when she is on duty, thankyou once again.

Food was great. The place was lovely and warm and our food and drinks arrived quickly. Our waitress Naste was so attentive and very friendly. Lovely evening

Was served by a waitress called Naste very charming and merry lady Hope we get her again next time we visit. It is advisable to book as gets pretty busy

We went to the jolly badger for tea. We were met at the door by a rude manager Nastee was her name alledgedly, how ironic. Struggled to greet us appropriately or use manners like us! We were then served by Nico who was excellent, attentive, friendly and decent, he set a great standard. The food was alright but be aware of the rude manager!!

Meal was going fine until we got to ordering our desserts. Nico was serving us and doing his best. Informed us ice cream machine was broken (not good on a Saturday). I asked if there would be a discount as we weren’t getting the dessert as it should be - answer was no from the Manager. I went for apple pie and custard - large pie with a burnt top so hard I struggled to cut it and a tiny pot of custard. No discount for that either. Disappointing end to our meal especially as there were 7 of us - won’t be rushing back.

Macie was great! Friendly and attentive at all times ensured all of us had what we needed and very helpful when offering substitute desserts due to the ice cream machine being broken! All of us left full up and very happy with the service, thanks Macie

It's always been a pleasure to come here for a meal, especially with the family. Good choices for veg & non-veg. Exceptionally super service with a smile.

Thank you for doing your best, keep this 👍👍👍

I have had the breakfast on a couple of occasions. It suits us for meeting up. We haven't been disappointed. The service is always friendly too.

Julie was absolutely excellent! Very polite and cheerful, exactly what we needed during dinner!

Extremely good value. Food was great. Would go again!

Snail like service on the day which was unlike what we currently used to receive. It went downhill from the start till we paid the bill.

Had to sent the food back over cooked steak and missing onion rings. The nachos was minuscule. Half rack of ribs was dry service was good tho thankfully

The food was great, but we had to keep remind the staff to come back and take are order. But they helpful whenever we asked.

Had a few smaller plates, food was really nice, really good value for money

Our server was Julie, she was so friendly, efficient and lovely, especially with our two children. She served us with a smile. We left full up and very happy.

The food was average, not very great,the chicken was uncooked very good and had some feathers, plus the salads dont was very fresh,i dont know what is wrong but the food here is not anymore testing

Food was warm ,main meal got before salad bar

Nothing to complain about. Had a great experience

Thank you to Betty, Kay & Mark for cooking breakfast & looking after 21 Ladies & Gentlemen from the Good Neighbour scheme lunch club & their volunteers. They all enjoyed the classic & Veggie breakfasts. They are already looking forward to coming back to the Jolly Badger 👍🏻🙂

Food and service was as good as normal. Just a shame that all Harvesters have seem to have toilets that never feel that clean

Elliott was our waiter and he impressed us with his politeness and happy demeanour. He is definitely an asset to the Jolly Badger and I’m certain his family are proud of him

Been coming lately for breakfast on Saturday with the family, thoroughly enjoy the food. Have the large cooked breakfast very nicely done

We had a really lovely breakfast at harvester this morning, food was good and service was quick. Our server was Kay, she's served us on numerous occasions at different mealtimes and is always so cheerful and accommodating.

Nice food, salad was fresh and the tubs full. Big portions, plenty of space for parking. Had a ribs for main which was cooked well

Our waiter was Elliot and he was such a lovely, kind, happy and polite young lad. It was such a pleasure to be served by him. The staff and his parents should be very proud of him indeed

Went to dinner today, 17.1.24. ordered sirloin steak for my wife and I. Went to salad bar, most of the ingredient trays were empty. No butter only margarine spread. Rolls were cold. No honey and mustard dressing. Waited for someone to come and refill but gave up after 5 minutes. Steaks finally came, they were cold and really were tough. Worst steaks for a long time from Harvester. Really was disappointing. Saving grace was the Rocky Horror dessert. Harvester, you need to up your game. Would rather go to an Indian or Turkish restaurant next time as the costs are comparable. Will never waste my hard earn cash at Harvester again. Go to Beefeater next time as it cannot get any worse.

I had an amazing experience, its a shame the breakfast it tasted fantastic. Please don't stop them

Nico was our host. He was very hospitable, positive & courteous. Defintely a different experience with him looking after us, from any of mh previous visits.

Really great friendly waitress and good food... Ribeye Steak was cooked perfectly

Had a great meal today, served by Elliot, who was polite and attentive. Was surprised when he said he was 23, looks more like 18. A great advantage to Harvester

Be careful if you park here .You must register your car or you get a fine.. This pub has become dull and boring.

Kay,the lady who served us was absolutely 5 star.

Nothing was great. Atmosphere was dull. To improve, turn off the music it was doing my head.

Had a lovely meal with the family. The food was tasty and well cooked and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will be returning.

Myself, my partner and our 2 daughters came to this lovely establishment yesterday (Jan 5th) we were met at the door and asked where we would prefer to sit which we didn’t mind so the lady (didn’t catch her name) chose us a lovely spot nice and quiet but still not hidden away. We were served by an amazing lady who honestly couldn’t be more attentive (I have forgotten her name unfortunately maybe it could be added if the staff reply to this as honestly she’s an asset) we were given drinks and salad bowls within minutes and had our food ordered and served very quickly, she was so nice with our daughters and they have already asked many times to go back soon (which we definitely will be) we also met the manager Mark who was lovely he made sure that we were happy with all of our food and checked if we would like anything else etc. we sometimes struggle with restaurants as 1 of our children is very unwell but she absolutely loved her evening and it’s definitely made her happy which is all we could ever hope for - thank you to all of the team & we will definitely see you soon! Jennifer & family

We are having our weekend breakfasts here from years and I can say is the best UK breakfast 🕊️

As a family friendly place this Harvester branch is awesome. Kay served us today and she went above and beyond to look after me and my 2 year old daughter. Food is decent, nothing gourmet, but yummy and plentiful. This is my 3rd time and enjoy visiting each time. Will download the app as then you get offers etc. Looking forward to returning.

Very good food and jacket potato yummy. asha is good from a fussy 83 year old

The manager “Mark” came to us straight away & greeted us very nicely and professionally as always and found us a quiet table as requested & then we were waited on by a lovely lady called “Asha” who again was very polite and professional & the service was great & food was fantastic as usual & can’t think of anything to improve on as everything was very satisfactory, Many Thanks, Mr F Bowles.

Naste served us and she was extremely pleasant and attentive. Food was ok but service was good. Thanks Naste for making our experience enjoyable!

Unfortunately the food left much to be desired this Christmas...terrible potatoes and cold mushy Brussels sprouts and usually I love them...obviously untrained chefs...such shame

Need to say one of the bar staff . Vanessa is so wonderfully friendly . Personality is very important to me as well as good food and atmosphere. Vanessa definitely sets a good example of how staff should treat their customers. Friendliness, prompt service is...

terrible service, lack of attention to detail, failure to deliver what was ordered

Had a dinner with friends and really enjoyed the festive menu. Price was reasonable, service was quick and staff was friendly.

I visited here for the first time , compare to other Harvester in Hampshire and one in Port Solent, I can say wow , the waiters served with smile and yes it makes a big difference. I was served by very helpful girl Naste and a nice gentleman at the door in Jolly badger in Edgware London . Definitely recommend it , our food and steak was honestly juicy and good . I be back here more regularly.

Our family have been meeting at The Jolly Badger, Mill Hill annually to celebrate the festive season. Everyone said the food was excellent, especially the ones who ordered steaks and ribs. It was very busy and our table was 14 pax so some of the dishes was served later than others but this was understandable. Our waitress was always able to deal with our queries. On the whole a great time was had by all. Thank you. 🤗

We were expertly served by Naste who gave us superb and swift attention . She catered well to needs and ensured that we had a most pleasant evening

cosy warm place, delicious food, our waitress Naste was extremely good , very happy with the service it’s really worth it the money we spend there!

Absolutely loved it, Julie was so helpful and accommodating!!

Diana was amazing! Great recommendations and very welcoming!

Had a great Thursday dinner at Harvester. Our waiter, Ben, was very fast and professional when serving us. This has been our local Harvester for 17 years and will never get disappointed by its quality.

Emily was polite and friendly we enjoyed the food . Many thanks 🙏

Festive Menu was so good especially Oven baked Mushroom and Emily was sooo good she was so helpful!!! I really do appreciate it☺️

Laila gave very good service and mark manager was great

Food and service is just excellent 👌

Excellent service ,good food for the price . Thanknyou Naste

Made very welcome, attentive and helpful staff and food as expected.

We had a lovely experience at the harvester great food as usual and our server Asha was so lovely and attentive!

Best harvester meal I ever had.

Had a lovely lunch today 28/11. I had the Christmas dinner with salted caramel profiteroles totally yummy. Very generous portions. My other family members had the ribs which were totally delicious too. Unfortunately another Custer had an epileptic seizure poor thing. The staff were absolutely amazing so compassionate and professional. Ambulance staff eventually called and took her to hospital. Our waitress was so calm throughout. I don’t see her name on the receipt. Would recommend this place. Great food and value for money and friendly staff.

Visit today with my family been served by waiters Naste and new girl Diana which I believe she was on training , very nice service well done girls you doing Good job Diana was very polite and attentive to our table , Definitely coming back 👍🏻

Very nice place it has been refurbished since I came in 2021. Food was very good. Nice staff especially the Ukrainian/Russian waitress who was very sexy and beautiful

Our server was Julie . She was fantastic. There was a difficult table next to us that wanted to split the bill 10 ways she dealt with amazingly.then made sure we were ok whilst always smiling. My kids came away from lunch so happy

We had amazing meal and the service from naste was fantastic Always asked me and my family if Satisfaction and service was good Naste had great customer service

It was a cold night outside but we got a warm and friendly service from Asha. Thank you

Very friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere.

Booked a table for 4 for Father's day. Quite busy but was seated and served reasonably quick

Good food and Emilia served us very well.

Nice, cozy place, good helpful staff. everything was very tasty!

Good food and very pleasant waitresses. I can't wait to visit again.

The waitress did not let us know about extra charges and at the end overcharged us. The steak was so chewy that we had to discard the entire food and the chips were cold and stale. Overall experience was as bad as it could be. Never going back there

Lovely birthday treat. Julie very attentive and polite.

Very friendly staff and food is good. Will come back again.

Julie who served us was an absolute gem!

My go to place for a full English breakfast

With festive season and offers all around, Harvester Jolly Badger Edgware isn't far behind. Myself visiting this place for the first time was a great experience so far here in Northern part of London. Menu revamped with offering two/three course meals which is a great deal. Ambience and decor keeping up with the festivities, so dine in was a great experience. Staffs were really friendly and attended to all our silly queries regarding the menu/drinks. I have put pics for the menus you can check it out. I ordered for the three course meal to my surprise quantity and taste was exceptionally good and more than I could ask for. Must visit this place to experience it for yourself.

Very poor pub, great salad bar, but poor dry food and even drinks was off. Stay clear Fraid to say nothing changed.

Eating in jolly badger is a bad experience as a Hindu I never eat beef in my life I ordered a chicken classic burger and they service me a beef burger

Standard Harvester fare. Food was perfectly fine and the lady who served us was very friendly and efficient. Very much an improvement from our last visit and happy to visit again.

Had not eaten in there for years as it went so far downhill, even though the place could do with a big makeover we had no option one evening and had to go in there as a last resort, everywhere else we went to was either closed or being refurbished. The food was absolutely brilliant, the burger was big, tasty, and juicy and the salad was fresh, the rack of ribs was so tender it fell off the bone. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the jacket potato was well cooked and Emily who served us was excellent, she was attentive, friendly and never rushed us at all. The prices are higher now but we would definitely eat there again. Been back for food and drinks and yet again it was great. The person behind the jump called Ben was fantastic in helping me to use the Harvester app and also giving me information about the Bluelight app so I could save some money. He brought the food over to us, was extremely helpful and friendly and has a great sense of humour. He spent time in explaining everything. The service was excellent and we will definitely be back as so impressed. The quality of service and food has remaind good.

I visited this Harvester on the evening of Monday 6th November for the first time in about 10 years because I had an offer in the Harvester smartphone app that gave me 25% off a main meal. I had booked my table for 7pm, but I arrived 10 - 15 minutes early. Despite this, a member of staff whose name I can’t remember showed me to a pleasant-looking 2-person booth table because the restaurant wasn’t too busy. For most of my time at this Harvester, the man sitting at the table opposite to mine was talking quite loudly, sounded rather grumpy and probably spoke to someone on loudspeaker on his laptop (I didn’t know if he was a member of restaurant staff or another guest). There was also a woman sitting opposite him, but I also couldn’t tell if she was a staff member or another guest. The member of staff who served me the most was called Emilia, whose name I recognised from other Google reviews for this Harvester. She was friendly and attentive and accommodating to my needs. Emilia brought me an ice-filled glass for the refillable soft drinks quicker than the server at the Toby Carvery in Enfield did. The refillable drinks machine was excellent as always and I had my usual Pepsi Max cherry and vanilla. When Emilia took my order, I told her I was gluten-free and asked for barbecue sauce with my Original Combo (half a rack of ribs and quarter of a rotisserie chicken with sage and onion chips and corn on the cob) instead of the chicken gravy. She also brought me my empty salad bowl quickly (servers now bring empty salad bowls to guests’ tables instead of guests picking up the bowls from the salad bar). The salad at the salad bar was very fresh. Shortly after Emilia brought my Original Combo to my table, I noticed my chips were plain and not seasoned with sage and onion as I requested. When she returned to my table to check how everything was, I asked her to change my chips and she did this right away. Despite this issue, the sage and onion chips were delicious as were the ribs, the chicken, the barbecue sauce and the corn. After my meal, I waited quite a while to pay my bill. When Emilia came once again, I showed her the discount code in the Harvester app and she took my phone so that she could scan the code. When she brought my phone back, I used it to pay my bill. All in all, despite the man opposite me spoiling the atmosphere slightly, the chips mix-up and the waiting time to pay being somewhat slow, I enjoyed my food and drink and most of the service from Emilia. 4/5. Update: I have just realised that I wrote this review under the Google account I use for volunteering purposes rather than my personal one. The owner has also responded to my review and confirmed the man on the laptop was another guest.

Great breakfast. Thanks Kay for great service.

Kay has delivered great customer service! Food was good too! Thanks Kay for being welcoming and friendly to us!

We had travelled from Lancashire for a break away, and decided to have breakfast round the corner from where we were staying. We were served by Kay who was simply brilliant! She was so attentive, friendly and probably one of the best waitresses ive ever come across. She is a genuine asset to your company and you should try everything in your power to keep her in your employment. Also the breakfast we had was delicious and we returned on our journey home and was once again served by Kay and the standard remained the same. Thanks to Kay and all the Harvester Edgware Team

Unfortunately for £45.00 bill the salad was the only thing that tasted fresh. We were thoroughly dissatisfied and the food was vile.

Emelia provided an excellent service for us and the food and atmosphere was really good! Definitely Recommend!

I love their food. Very family atmosphere.

young (short, sorry i didn’t get your name and don’t know how else to describe!) girl with brown hair that served us on the evening of wednesday 25th of october was really lovely gave us some brilliant service and honestly saved our trip from being a 1 star.. please send her our thanks! as for the food… although arriving promptly, all dishes were barely tepid and the portion sizes were honestly astonishing especially considering the recent price increase. the quarter chicken was about the size of a toddler’s fist and was really dry and the chips (although were perfect for 1/4) were very soggy and inedible. the jacket potato as a side was also incredibly tiny and made one of us very much regret their choice.

Just wanted to say huge Thank you to Emelia! She was so sweet, professional and understanding yesterday. We came in with a friend and 4 kids. She helped us to pick the food and was very patient when kids were not sure what to have. She was also very observant and offered us a glass of wine each which we needed....Also helped us to sort out the bill, was very quick with the food (thank you chef too!) Overall, she was amazing.... Thank you for being so lovely. Miriam

Good experience with a large menu and reasonable price. Just make sure you try the free refill salad and drink. This means no need to order massive dishes as you can add these to your meal. Couldn't see any parking but did see they had some sort of parking system. Being in a busy part of London if you had free parking there it would be a bonus. We didn't need to book and got a table of 6 easily and served in a prompt time. The staff were friendly and helpful so bonus points to them. Also kids and vegetarians no need to fret as they were also well catered for.

Emelia was our server, she was brilliant and attentive. Food was brilliant, definitely recommend.

We were served by Emelia, she was a brilliant host. Very polite and professional. The food was very good!

Great impromptu breakfast, Kay was amazing thank you, breakfast was fantastic! Thank you- highly Recommended!!
