Harvester Whiteley in Winchester

We were served quickly by Sarah who introduced herself. Great service & we were looked after very well. The food was lovely, cooked by Beth & Lee.

Sarah was quick to serve us and made our visit very pleasant. Food was decent and we got exactly what we came for, a slap up breakfast.

Good food, reasonable price and lovely service from Laura who was attentive and friendly.

Service was very very slow. Ordered a Christmas dinner and they explained I couldn’t have any cranberry sauce as they were saving it for a different dish on the menu?!? Forgot about our deserts and icecream was tiny and half melted when served. Staff were stressed and too busy even though restaurant was less than 20% full

Great breakfast, served by Laura who was extremely good and very helpful.

Lovely food and a friendly server called Laura 😊

Excellent waitress. Food lovely and reasonably priced. Was really busy but still served us fast. This restaurant must be very well managed as they have the right amount of staff on and of whom are always pleasant.

Appalling meal and service last night. Booked table months ago, had to wait 10mins for them to sort a table. Once seated we had a long wait before our young female server came back to take our drinks order and food order. She had forgotten one of the drinks. Starter came (festive menu) the 4 of us chose the mushroom starter. It was lukewarm but the bowl was really hot. I ate 2 mushrooms and the 3rd was stone cold, so I sent it back to the kitchen. We then waited more than 20 mins for our main course. 2 of us had the mushroom galette tart. Well, that was lukewarm, roasted carrots cold, broccoli, hardly cooked, (worse than al'dente) peas cold, the only thing that was piping hot were the roast potatoes. We had to ask for the sauce tgat came eith our dish as it didn't come out with our food. Yep, you guessed it, that was cold to!? Our server, didn't ask if "everything was OK" or if we "needed anything else" The other 2 meals were, not hot enough! Our desserts came, a tiny, tiny piece of xmas pudding, the only thing at the right temperature were the custard and ice cream. They came with the bill (we didnt ask for it, or were we asked if we wanted further drinks)... We split the bill 4 ways and added our tip. The poor lass couldn't work out the final payment so my friend had to intervene on the card payment machine! We will not be going back! I know some people may have had a lovely experience, as we have in the past but this time round it was not. We won't be going back!

Had the standard breakfast. Good portions. No scrambled eggs available. Was not particularly hot

Waited ages for delivery, driver said he had to wait at the restaurant for ages. When the order turned up it was alright but not great quality

Great staff, managed to seat us despite them being very busy. Corrine out server was very helpful.

Laura was absolutely fantastic introduced herself when coming over to our table and was amazing throughout.

LAURA, our server, was amazing. Attentive friendly and super helpful. A Disney lover like ourselves so had a good chat about Disney. Food was fresh, piping hot and delicious. Will return without a doubt.

EDIT: Laura was such a lovley host. She made our visit worthwhile and I'm definitely going to suggest our friends and family to come here and hopefully have laura as their server too! Such a genuinely happy person and more than happy to help! Thankyou so much Laura Perfect. Enjoyed a breakfast here with unlimited coffee! Always enjoy the breakfast and service here!

Our waitress Corrinne was brilliant and very attentive. The salad bar was well stocked and felt clean and tidy The overall restaurant was very welcoming and comfortable

We received a warm welcome when we arrived but unfortunately service was very slow. We visited on a Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm and waited an hour for our mains to be served. One main arrived not hot and the other had maybe sat under the heat for too long.

Laura was fabulous- thank you 😊

We enjoyed the salad bar and the food was good. The service was slow and quite unenthusiastic, they were nice enough but they were very low energy and didn't really seem keen to be there, any of them. When booking, we specifically mentioned needing disabled access for a walker but the greeter tried to seat us in a booth. Thankfully he quickly realised his mistake and moved us to a table where the walker could be tucked out of the way.

I am super thrilled with the experience and service my husband and I received, we arrived with our 7 week old and was greeted with amazing service. The food was amazing, and we had ribeye steak 😋

Christmas dinner offer from new menu was excellent, good meal and lovely staff. We donated a meal for the homeless which is a great idea by harvesters.

Place was either understaffed or poorly managed. Stood at the door waiting to be seated for 5 mins , waited to get served for another 10 and then the breakfast took 30 mins to come out. For the price point the food was fine, although the fried eggs were over cooked and the yolk was solid, but generally wouldn’t expect to go out for breakfast and have to wait 45 mins to get food infront of me.

Harvester was absolutely brilliant. Like always the breakfast was brilliant. Laura was excellent serving us!

My food was nice but cold. Laura our server was very polite and helpful

We love Laura. Amazing service. She is a delight and we always have the best customer care from her!

Our waitress Laura was lovely. Nice family meal. Will be returning

Amazing service from Laura as always- my friend and I meet often in this Harvester and we always asked to be served by Laura as she is is very friendly and attentive - thanks Laura

laura was our server and she was wonderful.

A big thank you to Laura for an amazing service! Will definitely come back again! 😄

Laura was amazing today with servicing us and helping us with the dietary needs. Thank you

The food and service of the waiting staff is fantastic. Laura was extremely helpful and attentive. The 2 course lunch menu is a great affordable option.

Laura was superb today, as always. Food quality seems to have improved since my last visit too. Couldn’t fault this place today. Well done :)

Really enjoyed the meal out, food was tasty as always and the service we received from Laura was amazing.

Good breakfast and great service from Sarah

Lovely Birthday meal for my son. Laura was so lovely, and recommended some amazing food for us. Her customer service is on point.

Great food, same quality as if we had eaten in restaurant. Decent amount of salad too, impressed!

One of the nicest Harvesters i have been in Not just an old pub, but a modern glass fronted restaurant. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was first class, I had large full English, bacon was nice, heinz beans, sausages were proper quality. Wife had pancakes and loved them.

Terrible service we ended up walking out before we even ordered 😒

Laura was lovely and very friendly. She also made me a yummy hot chocolate. 🙂

Wait over 20 minutes to be served! Three tables who arrived after us, and our order eventually taken, were served (one finished, paid and left BEFORE I decided, 65 minutes after arriving, to pay for o7rbdrinks and go to eat elsewhere!

Friendly, obliging staff, with good food at reasonable prices.

Laura was very welcoming and quick to take our order. Good service and good food.

Laura was amazing. So friendly. We loved her love and excitement for Christmas 🎄. She made our breakfast at the harvester Food was yummy

Laura was great, very attentive and quick service. Thank you

Laura was lovely and did a great job with a massive smile on her face. We’ll be back again to see you again soon thanks to Laura 👏👏👏

Great service by Laura, very friendly, attentive and professional.

Laura was very friendly. Amazing service

Laura was great!! Very polite and lovely. Great customer service

Really friendly amazing services by Laura love manners

Had a very nice mid week meal. Laura our host was lovely and very attentive.

Lovely food, friendly service, good value.

Loved the corn bread, but it was hands down the nicest meal we’d had at harvester in a long time. My mother, who is very fussy, ate all of her original combo, she usually leaves the chicken as it’s not normally cooked that well. Really enjoyed it.

Not the most exciting experience, the salad bar looked uninviting, the main meals were average. Really enjoyed going to Harvester, the appearance of looking under staffed, the tired salad bar along with the less inviting main meals I am not sure we would return.

Bloody hell, we come here regularly and usually had the 2/3 courses lunchtime, which has now gone!!!! We had the same items from the new mega expensive menu and it came to over double the old cost, but not only that, the portions were also smaller, so we won't be coming to you again, I'm very sad to say! Beefeater for us now, which was usually a little cheaper than the older cost anyway!!!!

Good service, even though it was busy, the staff were attentive & were on point, food was good, happy go lucky kind of fair, would go again.

Served by Laura who was very helpful and prompt. Cheerful too.

Laura great server very attentive and friendly!!

Had a lovely Laura serving us today. And it was my birthday and it was an amazing experience 🎊 Laura is the best. 🎊 Thank you so much for everything today.

Sarah our server was amazing... Had really good food... Enjoyed our experience...

Visited for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Great service from Laura. Lovely food.

Had a lovely meal with amazing service from the lovely Laura☺️

Laura was really helpful when helping choose my meal. Very friendly too

Good food and service. We all ate far too much

We came here for breakfast and the food was lovely. Laura who was our server was excellent. Definitely recommend it

Laura was great, very helpful and great food.

Laura was a great server and it was a lovely lunch!

Ordered for myself and my son 2 meals and 2 drinks, after 25 minutes no food and no drinks, waited a little longer my sons meal arrived and the waiter looked at me knowing there was a issue, yes where was my meal? Also we have no drinks. Drinks came still no meal after waiting another 20 minutes yeay my meal. Food was very good but service abysmal. The toilets were actually 1* and unusable due to how disgusting they were, one blocked over filled, one pee and spit on nearly every surface and the last one barely usable. I won't be returning to Whitley harvester I will be sticking with Fareham or Eastleigh in future.

Thank you to the wonderful Laura who lightened up our morning during out visit. Your a 5star 🌟

Waited a long time for food wasn't great either. When dessert arrived it looked like someone had been sick on my plate the ice-cream was in a metal container and had melted all down the container and over the plate and after being microwaved the apple had just spilt over the plate. I did complain and the member of staff was very nice. He agreed it looked bad and when he returned the ice cream was fine but the plate was a mess he apologised and said sorry but they can't help the apple coming out on to the plate!! Maybe a need to source a different apple pie!!

Amazing staff super friendly and attentive quick service with salad bowls and food Halloumi fries were burnt on the outside when fried but rest of food was good and very fresh bar this!

The only thing was, we had a party of 17. We did think we would be on one big table, but we weren't. That was the only letdown.

Great service from Laura, was very attentive and friendly to our 2 year old. Food was good portion sizes and great unlimited tea.

We were served by Laura today who was brilliant, provided quick service, got the kids colouring without asking. Good food - only dissopointing thing is the removal of BBQ sauce because of nut allergies which I get, but heinz nowhere near as good as harvester one.

Arrived for 6pm reservation, service was very poor and slow from start to finish. Had to chase up waitress to order pudding finally 4 puddings turned up but still missing 2 we had nearly finished so had to chase up the missing 2. Finally managed to pay and leave at 8.55pm nearly 3 hours for a main and pudding don't think we will be returning.

Great service from Sarah - thank you!

Had a lovely breakfast, Sarah was our waitress, very helpful.

Fantastic food and service as always! Laura was a great server, and the steak was cooked to perfection (by Lee 😊) never had a bad visit to this restaurant!

Laura is a star! Good service. Bosh

Lovely service from Laura today. Thank you!

Laura was very helpful fast and welcoming!

Laura was fantastic very helpful indeed

We chose Harvester above all of the choices at Whitley for an evening meal hoping our experiences from our local Harvester were just a one off. The salad was top drawer exactly as we remember but the main meal was woefull. The burger and chicken were absolutely tasteless, the bacon was full of fat and the fries were cold and tastless. That was the last time we will ever visit a Harvester again.

Laura was great so helpful and friendly

Laura our waitress was so friendly nothing was a issue

Food very average. Service very slow and not great generally. Salad bowls came out boiling hot. Pointless. Ran out of a certain steak for a combo (at 6pm) but wouldn't substitute for an alternative. Value for money poor for what we got. Won't be going back to whitely.

It's great if you've got kids and want to go out for a meal. But not somewhere I would choose if I didn't have the children with us. The menu is boring! 90% of the burger choices have cheese & bbq sauce, which doesn't give any variety. Sometimes, more often than not, the chicken is overcooked and dry. They need a new menu.

Nice meal restaurant is very well presented the food is very good.

Excellent service from Sarah, very friendly and helpful

I went for breakfast with my partner and the experience was top-notch. The food was really well cooked. We had a waitress named Laura and she was amazing! She was really friendly, professional, and helpful. She truly looked after us! A credit to Harvester Whiteley. 👏

Laura was so sweet really happy and energetic would definitely come back again !

Laura was very attentive to our needs, very attentive to our needs. Food was amazing too. Very tender chicken. Clean facilities

Lovely meal and lovely service by Laura

Laura was fantastic, she is always polite and accommodating

Pub grub + plenty of salad makes for a good meal. Especially as many of the meals don't process the food too heavily. Laura was a great waiter - suggested a good alternative when a dessert wasn't available.
