Harvester The Windmill in Hertsmere

Notes not followed, driver took longer then expected. Food inedible. Not good!

Ordered our food at 6.15pm it did not arrive until 8.00pm not acceptable

Great skewers. Food arrived stone cold with red hot plates and skewers!

8 of us had a great meal . Our server was super 👌

Excellent friendly helpful staff! Salad bar is always fresh, chips came cold with the main meal but the amazing waitress swapped them straight away for fresh, hot chips - would recommend eatting here service was fantastic.

Great place and friendly waiters

One thing I will say, is that getting to the restaurant at night time is very annoying as the harvester sign isn't illuminated; it is incredibly easy to miss your turn (which we did). As for the restaurant, service took very long. It was a while before our order was taken and food took a longer than average to arrive, bearing in mind we came on a random Tuesday. When it did arrive, one of our orders was missing an egg, and the other one had to return the steak twice as it was cooked incorrectly both times, so it ultimately ended up being taken off the bill as they couldn't cook it correctly (we asked for medium rare, it came back rare). There were kids running around the restaurant which was a bit noisy but other than that it was quite cozy and clean. Waitress was nice. Food was ok but some issues with texture. Ribs were lovely this time around, but the chicken and peas were very dry. Overall a very mediocre experience.

Visited Harvester in Bushey today and was told that they were fully booked but every table was empty and i was turned away by the very rude asian man at the front but I checked online and every time was available ???! Then I went to Garston’s Harvester and staff there were so polite and helpful I will be using Garston in the future !!!! Don’t recommend this place they can keep their empty tables and attitude as I won’t be returning 🤣

Great food great service from Taylor and Bozena

just one problem the dressing for the salad had spilt every ware

This evening we decided to go back to the harvester after a long time .We were greeted by the lovely Sebastian we said we wanted a quiet spot as it was busy ,he explained to us we could sit in the bar area and order there.We were more than happy to do this .We ordered far too much (chicken skewers which were lovely ,but we ordered 2 each )The Chicken was cooked perfectly.Sebastian came over to ask us how the food was and we told him we were really pleased with the portion size and presentation.What a lovely friendly person. .Just added to our evening experience of dining there. Thank you. Ellie.

A lovely pub with decently good food, and the manager Wayne really cares about customers' experience. A good egg. :)

Food very nice, good quality harvester

Good food, shame they have got rid of some of the menu

Always friendly welcome and good food and drinks

Had the best night good food good service had a very nice lady servicing us her name was Jamie so helpful and kind and even went the extra mile for us will definitely come back again 👍

I was so dissatisfied with the food. It was a horrendous experience that left me with stomach aches and nausea. Im pretty sure I had an allergic reaction to the Belgian chocolate brownie, and I have no allergies. Say away from this dump for the safety of yourself and family, and so your toilet stays in one piece. In a few words it was one of the worst nights of my life, in the restaurant, and on the toilet. In fact it was absolutely diabolical in the restaurant toilets. There were croutons on the floor and walls, holes behind the doors and urine covering the floor. The only reason I so very desperately needed to use this outrageous excuse for a bathroom, which has some resemblance to a cats litter box, was because I had explosive diarrhoea, which I had indeed obtained from the food because I used the restroom before I left t go the this tremendously dangerous and disgusting waste land of a harvester. The toilet paper was thinner than air, and my hand broke though multiple times, meaning that I needed a very intense hand wash. I didn’t bother flushing, just to show others what they were in for. My honest opinion on this place is that I would rather eat gecko poo than come back here, as I would not end up pooing as much waters I did after this cutting of hell itself. Not to mention the price, which was extraordinarily high for a steaming pile of crap. Yours sincerely, a diabolically served customer, who just ran out of toilet paper.

Had a great meal with the family, Taylor is especially great with my son and made the whole experience very memorable, thank you!!

We are from Cumbria and staying in the area for a few days. Decided on tea at a harvester as I had a child eats free voucher from Octopus Energy. Booked a table online. Car park was busy on arrival but managed to find a space. Waited a few minutes for our table. We were served by Margaret and she was very friendly and welcoming. The food we had was excellent and we couldn't believe the size of the kids meal - huge as were the deserts. Would come back again if in the area.

Amazing food, absolutely lovely service from Maureen, would come back many times.

Such an amazing evening ,the food was super delicious and the service was a 5 star service.Bozena looked after us ,she was amazing ,we will definitely be back !!! Thank you

Misleading Promotion & Poor Customer Experience I am extremely disappointed with the misleading promotional offer at Harvester Bushey. The email clearly states, "Kids eat for £1 at half term, including weekends," which was the sole reason we chose to dine out. We even checked T&Cs to make sure offer applies on the weekend and its not limited to certain branches, yet upon arrival on the same day, we were told it was not valid on weekend Misleading customers with false promotions to drive traffic is not only unprofessional but also legally questionable.We enjoyed dining here many times before, but this experience has severely damaged my trust in Harvester Bushey. I hope this issue is addressed, as disappointing loyal customers with misleading information is not the way to build trust. And not being on the same page from head office promotions to customer service staff just looks unprofessional.

Came with family and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Chelsea was a fantastic waitress and made it a wonderful experience!

Freda was an excellent host! Fantastic lunch with brilliant service

Another great family friendly meal at the Harvester in Bushey. We had great service by Taylor, very polite and tentative. Going home with full bellies. Be back soon 👍

Tayor our server was lovely. Great service as always

Freda was a pleasure to deal with. She helped us to make our delicious menu choices. She is a wonderful asset to Bushey Harvester.

Really friendly staff. Food is fresh. Quiet and Peaceful.

Went in at lunch time without a reservation and was seated very quickly. Food also arrived very quickly. Staff friendly!

Not bad! Fresh and good portion

Really friendly and efficient staff. Excellent food and good value for money. We love treating ourselves to breakfast at the weekend and our waitress Maureen was brilliant.

Good service , polite would recommend to others and will be back

Lovely meal for a family of 6 - not pressured, felt welcomed and the service from Taylor was wonderful - a credit to your team!

Thank you for a lovely experience for my daughters 18th birthday! Special thank you to Freda who was a fantastic host xxx

We had a lovely meal and our waitress Bozena was amazing, so accommodating and soo kind!!!

Lovely place! Always has been. Staff are great and knowledgeable, always friendly and happy to help when possible. Been coming here with my fiancé for a long time now and it never gets old.

Had a lovely meal. Thank you to our lovely server Bozena. She was very helpful and friendly.

Freda was a really nice waitress and she was very polite

excellent quality food puddings brilliant Maureen outstanding deserves a huge pay rise

lovely food lovely service too the people who was sitting around us not so nice as he was giving beer to his 9 year old and then taylor one of the waiters said he would have to take the beer off him and that man went and told the manager something else honestly people need to grow up but taylor was my waiter too lovely service absolutely lovely

Food was not great. Chicken burger not cooked too well. Jacket potato hard inside and out. Fairly busy and not well attended by staff. Previously on a number of occasions we have had great food and service. Not sure what went wrong on this occasion although I didn’t recognise any of the staff members

One of the meals was not hot but quickly rectified without fuss by our server Jamie. Excellent customer service from Jamie who was attentive without being intrusive. A credit to the Harvester team. Will visit again.

A great family venue. Lots of choice and great taste. A wonderful team and we were served kindly by Bozena - thank you!

Server was lovely and very efficient. Food was delicious.

Had a lovely lunch for two today at the windmill. Always happy to come here and always delighted to be served by our lovely waitress Maureen. Always so welcoming and makes sure we are happy. Hats off to the chef as well for working hard to make such lovely food.

We often go here for a meal. It is always a good option. If something is not quite right, it will be corrected quickly.

Freda was very friendly and efficient. The food was very nice and good value for money.

Three of us went for lunch at Harvest Bushey today. We had a very bad experience from a waiter called Taylor. We walked in and stood by the door for a few minutes but nobody came around. so I walked into the restaurant to try and find out if any waiter/waitress was around to sit us down. A man with a name badge called Taylor came out and said: Did you not see the sign to wait outside??, we explained that we waited for a quite a while already with nobody coming out. He was very abrupt and rude. My husband wanted to leave, but since we already drove 6 miles to get there I decided to stay. For the duration of our meal, Taylor never showed any smile at all, fortunately we had a lovely waitress called Jamie serving us. She was so pleasant and helpful. Taylor's behaviour ruined our lunch experience at this restaurant.

Food nice.service lovely the lady was great. Atmosphere was made by ourselves realiy

Jamie was lovely and provided excellent service. Steak was perfectly cooked as well

Taylor was brilliant, very polite and accommodating! Will definitely come again

Always delicious and Maureen is so lovely always so friendly and welcoming

The food arrived cold as thr delivery drivers hsve no way of keeping the food warm This is the first and last time i will be useng this type of service

Maureen made my experience at harvester 10x better made me feel welcome and at home recommend me there new desert which was lovely by the way! Also shout out to the best chef in this establishment Zoe !

Lovely food and lovely staff. Thank you Maureen, Sian and Zoe for a lovely evening as always.

Great service! Ami was our waitress

Staff always lovely and friendly

Had a really good experience with Taylor !!

Food was good. Chelsea who served us was brilliant as always… My 6 year old daughter loved her mini pizza and ice cream (obviously not together)

Couldn’t be happier with the food and service provided by Taylor

Lovely experience waitress was extremely helpful and very pleasant server was Maureen

23/012025 Very pleasant meal last night ,all food came out as ordered and in a good time frame. Freda our waitress went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely meal .

Today, we were served by the lovely Maureen who always has a smile on her face and doesn’t rush you….my pet hate!! We live locally and dine here regularly, all staff are always polite and very helpful. The food is always well prepared and tasty.

Very good service, loved the food as always! Special thanks to Freda for serving us and taking care of all things!

It was cheap and has a great atmosphere.The food was affordable but delicious!! I recommend this place if you like western cuisine. The waiters were extremely friendly and helpful! It had a lively atmosphere that felt nice. u could make your own salad if u had a main and the salad is totally free and unlimited!! There’s a children’s menu too, it is for children that are 12 and under, it’s delicious and the desserts are scrumptious! The food didn’t take too long to arrive. There is a free parking lot outside, and the parking lot is next to the entrance which makes it convenient for car. I definitely recommend this place.

Great food served by Freda. Always consistent food quality.

Great service by Freda and Harvester meal

Amazing food. Amazing value. And great service from Taylor!! Thank you.

Firstly, there were NO disabled bays to park & I am disabled! We were only offered the full menu! I knew that Harvester offers a 2/3 course lunch menu, but we were only given this when we requested it! Our orders were taken & salad bowls brought to us. We got our salad & had only just got back to the table when our starters were given to us. We were only less than a third way through our starters, when our main courses were given us. All the food was given to us in a 5 minute period! Sadly all the food was cooked badly & I had to leave most of my meal. We love the Harvester chain & are loyal customers. It was a 1st time visit to this one & it is definitely the worst Harvester we have ever been to. I will be contacting the Head Office to register my complaint & hopefully they can make sure improvements are made!

We had a wonderful meal with amazing service thank you

Absolutely amazing food, great service and great price deal. In 20 years I have not eaten better ribeye steak. Chef Zoe was excellent, Callum, lady serving us Chelsea all need recognition. Posh restaurants can hide, we found our gem and will come back!

Lovely evening, good quick and tasty - and Maureen is always happy and helpful.

Walked in after a very long day at work. Had perhaps one of the best steaks I've enjoyed in a very long time at a Harvester.

We had booked a large table for twelve people and our waiter Taylor couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone was happy with their different, choices. Would recommend.

Ami and Bozena were amazing waitresses. Good was excellent 🥂

Went to the Bushey Harvester on Boxing Day. The food was nice. Took a while to get served for everything but I get that it was Boxing Day so quite busy. Our waitress (Bruscetta) was lovely. A few went home before dessert as was getting late. On the Internet it looked like the hot drinks at the end were included in the 3 course meal as online it was included in your choices. At the end we got billed extra for the hot drinks which actually most of us didn't really want as we was full up but as we had ordered them already we had them anyway. When we questioned the manager about this she was really unhelpful and gave me a number for head office which is unreachable. I have emailed them since and have had a few replies with the assistant manager agreeing with me that it looked like the hot drinks were included. Now they are saying nothing they can do about it. Very poor customer service.

This harvester is clearly going downhill I used to be regular the last two times have not been good. Food not as advertised and certainly not good value for money had to send back. Very disappointed won’t be going back

Service was fast and quick was lovely food lovely service would fully recommend to anyone

Lovely fresh salad & tasty well cooked food . Great value for money . Freda our waitress was lovely !

Got crispy chicken strips and got four quite small pieces but overall they tasted nice and staff were lovely

If you love a cheeky Harvesters then The Windmill is the place to go. We have about 4 other Harvesters that we can drive to easily, however the quality of the food, aesthetics and staff are highly disappointing. Strangely I would have put The Windmill in this category before, after travelling there for breakfast a while ago to be told they didn't have a chef. Wayne and the KM have come in and managed to turn this place into a very high standard restaurant in no time. The Windmill is always busy and sometimes that can put people off but please don't let it here, as the aesthetics and cleanliness of the restaurant are kept to a high standard, the staff from the bar, the kitchen and the waiting staff are always friendly and happy to help where possibile and have great knowledge of the dishes they offer. The salad bar never looks like a bunch of hillbilly's have ran through it, remaining replenished when required with fresh and tasty salad options, additional toppings and sauces and lovely bread rolls. I love the new Wing and Wave main course, and I always order my steak medium well which worries me in a lot of restaurants as its hard to cook perfectly...But not here! Shout out to the amazing chefs for achieving a perfectly cooked steak every time. Cuts like butter, fresh quality ingredients and mouth wateringly delicious. Wayne and his team definitely deserve this review and I look forward to the next visit very soon. So if you're in the area or fancy that cheeky fairly priced date night or family night, The Windmill is definitely one to visit. Always remember to download the harvester app and get the card stamped before you pay to enjoy the offers and bonuses!

Absolutely love this place, will never go to a different harvester. Such a lovely environment and amazing staff! Cater to my every need especially with the pregnancy and love love love the staff! Amazing job windmill team you are awesome!

Breakfast was lovely!! Full English for me and chicken, bacon and waffle for my picky eater. Maureen is amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable if you have allergies.

Very helpful staff. Service was good and the food tasted really nice 👍

We had a very enjoyable breakfast here. Our waiter, Freda was a friendly person and gave us everything we needed. Definitely coming here again!

Excellent spot for breakfast. Thanks to the team, Maureen and the chefs.

Great service with Jamie as our waitress!

We visited the Harvester without booking on a Thursday night (16/01/25). The service was brilliant, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was fantastic! Zero complaints from us!

Good food and great service from Freda

Another great day and service with Jamie, Charlie and Chelsea also great staff

I decided to go to my local harvester today and was very satisfied from start to finish , the food was great as it has always been and the service was just as good , Chelsea was my waitress for the evening and she was lovely and attentive . All in all great service very pleased .

Food was fantastic! Friendly, helpful service from Taylor.

It's our happy place. The staff know us well and now know our 8 year old too. They have known him since he was a baby. Nothing to complain about last night. Spot on. Every staff member came over to say hello and take time to chat with my son too.

Great service by Amy and lovely food

Jamie was our server today. She's friendly and always provides a great service when we're here. Food was lovely, it was hot and fresh and cooked perfectly. All in all a great experience.

Hadn't been to a Harvester before. Was really pleasantly surprised! Had a sirloin steak, which I thought would be a bit run of the mill... but it was excellent! We also had the chicken and beef skewers, wasn't expecting much, but the beef and chicken quality and the flavour was really good. Our children also really enjoyed their meals of chicken burgers, peas and chips. The salad bar was also excellent which a good range to choose from. And at a really reasonable price considering. Definitely going back again, ideal for the family, and the food was not just OK, it was excellent. For example the kids chocolate brownies were MUCH better than what you get at Pizza Express - they were moist, rich and with good chocolate sauce. At Pizza Express you get a lump of brownie, which the kids like, but this was a few notches better in taste and quality. Really surprisingly impressed. Think we had lower expectations due to this being part of a chain. We're glad we went! Good welcome at the door. Place is nice and clean, tables etc. clean which isn't always what you find elsewhere. The kids had an activity pack and crayons to keep them occupied. Nice service as well from Maureen who I can see has been mentioned a few times on reviews of this Harvester. Continue what you're doing Maureen, and thanks!

Lovely ,Frida ,our waitress was wonderful lovely ladies work at mine ,nice food

Was a disaster of a night! Booked a table thinking it would help being a Friday night. Had us waiting over 1 hour n 30 mins for starters and mains. Not one person came over to update or apologise. Staff aren’t friendly not to mention whoever was running the shift…absolutely ignorant!

Service was amazing, atmosphere was very pleasant & quiet. Food is good, but less so for me due to my garlic allergy - thus a very limited selection as most dishes contain garlic!

The Windmill Bushey is my favourite Harvester simply based on the attentive, courteous staff. Jamie and Maureen are a great asset to the company. Negatives: The rolls are just not what they use to be and Simply Salmon has been removed off the menu but on the whole an enjoyable experience.
