Excellent customer service ..they put us in a booth which was perfect for 2 children who like to escape, the lady came to take our order with a trainee who unfortunately didn't get the order right we asked for bread and butter and got toast , we also asked for the larger gammon steak but only received regular .. we did call out the toast as this was for children but not the gammon maybe a check on his inputting of order would have corrected this 😉

Called in for lunch with my mother and daughter today to find they have launched a new menu, lots of new options, we tried the chicken tikka flatbread, pork belly and tacos and all were really nice, and to top it off we got our free salad bowls. Dawn our server was lovely, attentive and knowledgeable, we will definitely be back

I’ve always love harvester even before veganism was well known. They now have a decent selection of Vegan choices. Disappointed the coleslaw isn’t vegan however the chef offered to make me vegan coleslaw which was delicious.

We live locally and decided to go to the pub for a drink ,we sat in the small lounge which is cozy and comfortable, there was a small group in with a dog which was very well behaved and he came over to say hello , this wasn't a problem but my husband is very allergic to dogs and can cause a asthma attack , the gentleman came straight over and was so apologetic (thank you for that ) then a lady came in with 2 dogs again very well behaved and sat on the table beside us , I feel I'm complaining but I'm not people were so nice and their pets very well behaved my suggestion is (hope you don't mind ) is to use the tables opposite the lounge area as a dog free zone for people who have allergies or are nervous around dogs,put comfy chairs at the tables , we will be back but we couldn't stay long this time , a good pub ,recommend the food and breakfast offerings,staff so friendly

Brought my little niece to the play area at the harvester and I wanted to say how much she enjoyed her time here. There was a particular member of staff I think her name was Louise, who was particularly extremely helpful and friendly! She interacted with the children and adults well and made our afternoon very enjoyable! We will definitely be back very soon and have recommended this play area to all of my friends also.

Louise the staff member who was in charge of the play area was amazing, she was very helpful, friendly and the kids loved her. It made me feel at ease knowing the kids were in good hands. Highly recommend going for food her. She is a credit to your work force. Thanks again.

Called into the Ryhope Harvester as used regularly prior to COVID. Menu was disappointing and not cheap lucky to get meal under £10. We opted for a wrap costing £6.99, chicken tasted rubbery and chips were frozen. Like a previous review a McDonald’s meal would have been cheaper. On this showing won’t be frequenting this pub in the future

Visited Harvester Ryhope today for breakfast with my partner and baby. Have to say it’s definitely one of the best all you can eat breakfasts Iv had as it is all prepared/cooked fresh for you rather than buffet style and this suits me perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble, food was delicious and excellent prices. Our waitress was Lisa and she was wonderful! She took the time to talk to my baby girl and just generally put us at ease. Will definitely be returning as it’s very family friendly

Everywhere is nice and clean, not crowded and we feel covid safe on every visit. The kids love it and it's very reasonably priced. Well done. Looking forward to trying the breakfast in the Harvester on our next visit as have just heard they are amazing.

Nice to be back in the harvester after so long closed. Came in with eldest 2 after a walk for some ice cream and a bit of running around fuzzy Ed’s. Kids really enjoyed it and the member of staff in there, louise, made sure we were looked after. The play area was considerably cleaner than I remember it too, hopefully it won’t be long until it opens up fully.

I was in 2 minds as to whether I should write this review but I think the people in charge should be aware of how things are at times with their staff,. We've eaten here quite a few times, always for lunch and everything has always been spot on from the service to the food. Popped in on Monday lunchtime to be greeted by someone shouting across the room, from the bar area, telling us to fill in our details on the app. I don't have a smartphone and I told the woman that, having to shout back across the room and that was the last I saw of her! She took drinks to someone down the bottom end, though the doors and that was it. There was no 'I'll be back in a minute, sorry for your wait; The usual procedure is to approach the customer and ask if they have the NHS app and if not, either take details or the customer fills in a form. Not shouting back and forth across the room. Awful. I only saw 2 customers there and this one surly member of staff so I think more of an effort at basic politeness should be in order to get customers into the place and keep them coming back, If I'd have seen any other staff there I would have asked to see the manager. Needless to say, we didn't wait long for her to return, which she didn't, before we were out in the car and driving up to the Holymere where we received a much better welcome and they were happy to receive our £25 no doubt. I eat out between 2-3 times per week and that sometimes includes Harvester pubs at Wessington Way and the one at Durham and they are really good but I'll give this place a miss in future, which is a pity because I've had many a good meal here with pleasant staff serving it. I hope the General manager reads this and passes it onto 'the team' and I hope someone relays the message that in these times when pubs are closing hand over fist that it's important to treat the customer with respect. If you are going to say people were off sick etc then being busy doesn't mean you forego politeness.

Yet they did it with a smile on their faces and were very friendly. The food was great and our steaks were cooked to perfection. The manager was fantastic she was great with all the customers and the little ones. We genuinely can not wait for this to reopen we will be making sure that we book straight up. We are now planning on booking for Xmas just based on the service that we received from the manager and the girls on shift

I have been to the harvesters many times for children's parties and have never been disappointed. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the soft play area and adults enjoy a meal in the fantastic restaurant where the staff are always extremely obliging. My 33year old grand daughter has decided to have her birthday there so that she can have the food she can enjoy. She has to follow a vegan diet because she has so many food allergies and here she will have a variety to choose from. her birthday she 23rd of march so we will no doubt be going there between now and then to sort out the party for kids and grown up s alike. I call in there many times for lunch but this will be a first.vsi watch this space as this is something new for me . Must say I'm looking forward to my meat dinner and the veg us very good. My only trouble is that the salad bar is fantastic and I tend to fill upon the terrific variety. Mind you their bread buns are to die for.so watch this space xxx

Visited mid September. With two young children. The safety gate to the service area was broken meaning that children could enter. A health and safety hazard with it also serving hot drinks. People in our company complained of the stench coming from the baby changing facilities. Went back the following week. The gate to the service area was still broken. The smell coming from the toilets is appalling. Having to use the toilets found the bins overflowing with nappies. Again is this not a health and safety concern.

Visited Friday teatime with Diane to use a Groupon voucher - we were both a little apprehensive following our last disappointing visit and this proved well-founded. The very limited menu was negotiated with a willing but inexperienced waitress and the resulting food declared entirely underwhelming (we ate the -small- mushroom starter but left most of the steak & chicken/rib combo). On this occasion the salad was equally unimpressive and rather "tired" so there really wasn't any saving feature. Having now given the place a third largely unsuccessful try we won't be back........

We don't usually eat in 'chain' restaurants but it was a Friday night and the other restaurants that we tried were fully booked. Drove past the Harvester and decided to give it a try, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were professional and friendly and the food was pretty good. Salad bar had lots of options and the items were fresh. My seabass was cooked well, mash potato was a bit dry (probably because it was microwaved), coconut rice pudding was lovely. My husband had the gammon steak and syrup pudding, he said both were very tasty.

We went here for a late sunday lunch and were not disappointed. Between us we had the steak burger, grilled chicken fillet with gravy and two childrens meals one of which was fish and chips and went down very well. The inclusive salad bar was fresh and had a good selection.

We were recommended this place by a close family friend as we live in the area. It's not our usual type of place for dinner however we tried it on Friday night and were pleasantly surprised. Chain fare with frozen chips isn't my most popular choice however this place breaks the norm and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals plus the portion sizes for what we paid were brilliant. We then noticed they do breakfasts so we visited on Saturday morning and it was even better than the main meals. Breakfasts cooked fresh to order with all of the usual ingredients as well as tasty treats on the menu like pancakes, eggs Benedict and so on. The continental bar that is included in the price is fantastic and really adds to the visit. We will definitely be back and also the staff we have we have dealt with on both occasions offered different but good style of service. Really happy to visit again!

We have been coming here for breakfast for the past few months. The restaurant used to do them then stopped and restarted a while ago which we were pleased about. The breakfasts have gotten even better than before and are such great quality and the staff are really lovely and welcoming each and every time. We don't even need menus now and have a conversation each time with the ladies. Lisa and Sheila work really hard and we would happily recommend to anyone to come and try the breakfasts. They are really good value for money and great quality.

Visited Friday afternoon after work with my adult son- not busy - we were informed if we waited till 2pm - a couple of minutes- we would save 33% so happy to wait- we ordered chicken and prawns and Caribbean chicken- helped ourselves to salad so far so good- food arrived and looked fine - my son tucked into his said it was lovely- after 3/4 mouthfuls of my chicken which was covered in sauce- I discovered my next piece chicken wasn’t cooked and my son agreed- I discretely took the plate back to the bar that was empty and told the waitress to which she replied it’s only the seasoning because it was probed and checked before being sent out - she would send to be checked again- she returned to say that another was being prepared to which I replied I didn’t want another because it had put me off- she rolled her eyes at me and shouted in kitchen “she doesn’t want another one “ at no time did anyone apologise and I felt like it was my fault for not just accepting undercooked chicken - I will never go they again. As i say - no need- this is definitely not a way to treat paying customers.

For our wedding anniversary we booked a table at Harvester because we like the food there. A member of staff recognised we were a couple and sat us away from the family area which was nice because it was quite quiet. The food was very nice and excellent value for money and the service was fantastic, served by Isla. She was very friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend for families or couples.

Visited today for a meal with my partner. Very friendly staff. Very accessible for my wheelchair and spacious restaurant. Really like being served at the table, so much easier when in a wheelchair. Meals were really tasty & free salad with every meal was great & free soft drinks re-fill was excellent. Would highly recommend. Isla our waitress was very polite & helpful, Thankyou Isla.

we went to the soft play today for the first time. the price was reasonable at £3 each but everything you could buy was very overpriced - fruit shoot was over £2. The lady said we could buy a cup of juice for 50p, she used a bottle of robinsons and opened a cupboard to a dirty sink and added water.

We had a late Sunday lunch here today. Pretty standard Harvester establishment. You always know what you are going to get and rarely get nasty surprises. This place is conveniently located in a small retail park on the south side of Sunderland. Plenty of easy car parking all around.

Booked a table using the app as we were visiting Sunderland for the weekend. Had trouble finding the restaurant as we didn’t know the area, had to stop and ask at a garage! However got there , it was a Friday night and was very quiet! The staff were really nice and friendly. Enjoyed the free salad bar and ordered burgers, chicken stack and bird, surf and turf. As always the chargrilled flavour of the meat is delicious and that’s what brings us back. I really am not a fan of the chips, think they need to change those as they are very ordinary. My son loves the kids desserts and enjoyed the build your own cookie dish. I even scored a free bottle of cider from downloading the app so was well chuffed! Really enjoyed our meal and would recommend for all ages .

Does anyone know if the Riverview brasserie restaurant over at the Stadium of light in Sunderland is still open or not. Because me and my dad are about to go there for a Father's Day lunch out on the 18th June and every time me and my dad kept on phoning them it just ends up with nobody answering the phone. So could someone kindly send me a reply message back and let me know to see if the Riverview brasserie restaurant at the stadium of light in Sunderland to see if it's open or not.

I eat here often as i work locally. I find the choice of food to be varied and look forward to the welcoming smile of the Owners/Staff. I believe this is the best 'Sandwich Shop' in Sunderland and would highly recommend.

Food was good but overpriced. Most upsetting was the time it took for the kitchen to serve us. Waitress was helpful & pleasant but caught in the middle. Either systems poor or need more kitchen staff....waited nearly an hour. Shame because it's a nice place but bit overpriced.

I thought school dinners were bad, but this place tops it with being the worse place I have eaten in. We visited with family for Sunday lunch big mistake. We were sitting not far from the microwave which we heard pinging every few minutes then food was served, food must be plated up and reheated, the veg was practically raw, as for the roasties(potatoes) well these were rock hard u could do some serious damage with these. There is no restaurant or carvery that I have eaten in can do a roastie as good as home, a fresh cooked home roast is so much better and Cheaper I definitely won’t be going back.
