The Buccaneer in Fareham

Maddy our server was brilliant.

Exceptional service…Maddy was friendly and couldn’t do more to make us welcome. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely breakfast and excellent service from Anne. Totally recommend.

Food was below average, my peri peri wings were clearly reheated, and prices were absurd. £18 for a basic burger? To top it off we were served by a Trans man pretending to be a woman. It made me very uncomfortable knowing a mentally ill person was handling my food. We wont be returning.

Came for lunch today. I had the tacos and the corn read as a side. I could not fault the foodie was great. So fresh and tasty. Our waitress Michelle was run off her feet as it was very busy. She was extremely friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely lunch today, served by the fabulous Char(lotte) who can never do enough for us! Kerry, Anne, Mia all greeted us with a smile, them and Phil in the kitchen all deserve a mention as service was perfect as was the food! Loving the new bbq crunch burger 🍔

Wonderful lunch with friends. Quick service and delicious food. Anne looked after us very well.

While I put 4 for service that would be for the middle aged lady doing all the serving as it seemed she was the only one that was really working the others stood talking or handed out drinks even though the blond young lady took our drink to the wrong table. Then over heard them saying well no one likes to work a Monday.

Typical Harvester restaurant. The entrance was quite restricted with the booking desk making things difficult.

Enjoyed our meal. Would have liked some cheese with the salad.

Brilliant food, brilliant service

Very good service by Jordon in fareham

Just had a great meal here as usual! We were served by Char today who serves us a lot when we go and she is fantastic, always remembering us and making us feel welcome.

Always come here for a meal always excellent food, Jordan waited on us and was very professional, very courteous and checked everything was OK an excellent member of staff!. Food was excellent as always with no issues!

Family friendly chain restaurant with a good range of pub favourites such as fish and chips, burgers, grilled meats, tacos and rice plus plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives .I had the chargrilled chicken and mash which came with broccoli and peas plus gravy. Although the chicken was tasty the portion was a little on the small side and the veg were lukewarm. My companion had beef burger and fries which was much more filling- also you can fill up with unlimited salad for free upon ordering mains which was great. We had soft drinks and no desserts so I can't comment on those but again there appeared to be ample choice of sides, desserts, and drinks on the menu. I had reserved in advance so had no issues getting seated : it did appear rather busy for a midweek early eve slot . Our server was attentive, plus you can get various discounts/points if you scan the Harvester app upon payment. All in all a very reasonable experience .

food nice, service great, prices good using the reward card, but only 3/5 for this visit because we're sick of getting our meals served on tiny little rectangular plates, theyre awful

The food and service was spot on . Thanks to Grace for the great service

Wonderful service from Grace tonight, the four of us came in for a meal for my birthday and I was over the moon with the service, and attention to detail. She made us welcome and I was very grateful we came tonight, food, service and Grace A* keep it up we’ve had a great evening! ❤️

Keira was very attentive and made our experience really lovely ☺️

Our server Grace was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our visit. Food was nice. However our visit was made by Grace, she is a credit to the Harvester. We wouldn’t have known she hadn’t been doing the job long by her whole demeaner, it was nice to have that conversation and wish her the best here.

Keira is an absolutely fantastic server she knows me so well and gets everything I need immediately and is very attentive and will constantly check if we need anything she’s a total assistant the team!

We had yet another fantastic meal and time at the Bucaneer. Absolutely amazing service from the ‘nothing is too much trouble’, happy and attentive Keira.

Fantastic service from Keira, food was amazing too. Loving the new menu

Grace was very lovely and very helpful

We had such an enjoyable time here. Our server Michelle was very friendly and had a good connection with my girlfriends daughter. The food was delicious. 10/10 we will be back.

Michelle was a wonderful waitress. Very attentive and friendly.

On my arrival, I received a warm & friendly welcome, from my, to be waitress Christina. I was accompanied by my wife & we both took advantage of the unlimited salad bar offered to us. We both enjoyed our main meals & our friendly waitress Cristina was very attentive throughout. As an added bonus, the meals were on offer at a 50% discount.

Great food , and very good service especially as we hadn't booked it was very busy nothing was too much trouble will be going again soon .

Ample parking at the front of the Pub up a steep incline close to the traffic lights. Additional spaces at the rear too. Leave registration at front desk to book vehicle in. Usually take the breakfast as it is freshly cooked. Early morning is less busy and the staff are attentive to extras and refills.

Ate here a few times our goto harvester worth the trip from Southampton good food and service

Obviously not fine dining but the atmosphere was good, the food well cooked and tasty, the service was excellent - our waitress, Anne, was delightful and very helpful and the price was ok although we did use the 50% off mains offer. All in all, an enjoyable lunch out

We had an amazing service from Christina, it was my son’s birthday and we really enjoyed it with amazing food and service. 10/10 would definitely come again

Great food. Great service. Our waitress Christina was efficient and friendly. Very busy but service was fast. Will definitely be returning

My partner and I had breakfast here and were greeted/served by the lovely Anne. She was friendly, attentive and helpful - a real credit to the restaurant. My partner had the ultimate breakfast and I, the standard - we had no complaints. Both meals were filling and cooked well.

Disappointed. Booked a specific area but told overbooked so put at table at the back. They had run out of T bone so had very tough sirloin instead. & then we were told they needed the table for some more guests whilst we were still chewing through the tough steaks. Disgusting & rude food very mediocre

Lovely venue for meeting up with family. Nice food, enough to eat and value for money. Staff very friendly and excellent service from Michelle through out our dinner. Even though the restaurant is busy but She's still calm and attentive. Thank you Michelle .

Michelle was brilliant and the food was great!! Thank you so much for everything 😊

Michelle was a very lovely server 10/10

Wonderful service and lovely food - really nice for a big group!

Black Hair in my daughters ice cream - she has blonde Hair

Always good food and service. Just a bit quiet today.

Very slow service, good mediocre and barely warm.

Harvester's Buccaneer location is a reliable option for a quick and budget-friendly meal, especially when travelling. We've been eating here for years, popping in when we're passing through and need a cheap and filling bite. While it's not fine dining, the food is consistently served hot and fast, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The salad bar is a Harvester staple, but as with most Harvester locations, the salad bar can get busy, and several containers were nearly empty during our visit. Plus, with a range of visitors, including children, keeping it clean seems to be a constant challenge (those greasy tongs can be a bit off-putting!). Overall, it's a decent choice, considering the price compared to the variety of meal options, such as grilled meats, burgers with a variety of toppings, pasta-based dishes, fish options like fish and chips and grilled salmon, and vegetarian choices.

Only improve. Violet serving is incompetent and walked around apologising to every table for something. We received our starter before the salad bowls and drinks glasses for refills. She knocked over the salt on the table and left it. We asked for mayonnaise she left and we never got it. Then the bill was wrong by over £15 which we had to point out and get it lowered to the correct price. She was calling everyone my darlings this is not professional.

Never had a bad meal service was Brilliant made my little one feel special on his 7th birthday Came today, 3rd March 2024, was served by Anne, absolutely wonderful service. My boys definitely had full bellys when we left..

Pre booked table was given to another party and we had to wait to be seated elsewhere (we were not late arriving). Not all drinks prices are on the menu. Took 50 minutes to place food order, our server went off shift before we ordered and never passed over to new server we had not ordered. Salad bar was empty including the rolls, resulting in a further wait for food after several enquiries to staff regarding replenishment of salad bar. Only 5 of the 6 ordered meals were served, the 6th only arrived after we queried where it was. Drink service was slow initially and we were never asked if we required refills.

Food was delicious, staff were polite and friendly. Staff at fareham harvester went out of there way to make our autistic son feel comfortable.

Went for breakfast, and had the ultimate one. Wow massive and hard to finish. The foods used were decent too, making it worth the money

Had a grate time food was lovely staff was polite and friendly will be going back again

Amazing food great service friendly staff definitely recommend

The service was up to standard and the food was well cooked and I didn’t have any issues whilst ordering

Brilliant food amazing chef staff where very polite and patient with everyone definitely recommend

Excellent service, server Jess was very polite friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly and was delicious

Christina was awesome and showed us the discount voucher for 50 percent off! Food was brilliant, service was great and food came quickly 5 stars thanks for a great meal :)

Maddy is a fantastic waitress and the food was really nice.

All the staff was every helpful and polite and could not do enough for me and my husband how is disabled they made sure we had enough space for the wheelchair. All the staff was very friendly and up for a laugh .

Unfortunately the main dish me and my wife had was not that great. The chips were cold and very hard and portion size of meals were lot smaller then they used to be. Seemed the meal looked too small for the plate. My son had mixed grill which was good size for plate and was cooked well. Unfortunately my wife and my meal looked like it had been cooked awhile before we got it at our table.

Went suday around 5.30 pm was greeted at the door and shown to out table ,our server was very polite ,sorted out our drinks and took our food orders,when the food arrived it was nicely presented and hot ,meal was very tasty and all of our group enjoyed their meals all round was a very nice meal out and look forward to returning soon

Great service, great breakfast… nice & hot unlike most other places. Ann was very attentive and great waitress.

Pretty poor breakfast items missing, no longer all you can eat and you don't get yogurt, fruit, toast or any of the other bits that used to make it worth the money.

Just the usual Harvester, service was excellent though

Very disappointed. Had to choose main meal twice as they didn't have what I wanted in stock. Food was very average and chips were poor.my daughter and wife both said they wernt worth the calories

Caitlin was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and we weren’t rushed. Will definitely go there again

I've been here several times and Anne has always been an excellent waitress.

Great food! Brilliant service from Mia and put a smile on the faces of everyone she served.

Anne is the best! We are treated like family and nothing is too much trouble!

Great service. Staff member Mia really went the extra mile!!

Ate here on Christmas Eve .. friendly service & food arrived promptly .. staff were more than happy to accommodate our wishes as we were present exchanging so took a good break between courses

Down in the area from London on a little spa break with my mum. Came in here for dinner as we do love a harvester. We were greeted warmly by the staff at the desk, even though we didn’t have a booking we were show to a table quickly. Our server Caitlyn was absolutely amazing, having a laugh with not just us but every table she was serving. My mum has a few allergies and she was amazing dealing with them and making sure everything was just right for her, including the salad bar. Now everything in the salad bar was fresh and not sat out for a while like I have seen in some places, the food was fantastic so hot and delicious and came out in a timely manner. From where I was sitting on table 22 I can see a good portion of the restaurant, everyone looking happy and the environment was just buzzing. Everyone is working hard from the waitresses to the food runner to the kitchen staff. Everyone part of our visit today has been brilliant, I definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely meal this afternoon served by Michelle. I am very impressed with her service and attentiveness, especially as there were 16 of us. Would highly recommend.

In the harvester 4.30 on a Sunday Afternoon, No Steak,no Chickens. Absolute Disgrace, who is in charge of this shambles

Our waitress violet was very courteous and polite and dealt very professionally with an issue we had.

Great service and food good. Jess who served us was very good and helpful

Staff were lovely. Food was delicious. I was slightly disappointed they ran out of steak as I had been looking forward to it all day lol the brownie we ordered was a bit dry but the chocolate cake was beautiful. I would have liked more variety of dressings for the salads but that's me being picky. I would definitely recommend and would return for another meal out.

Great service. Great breakfast :)

The ultimate salad bar was horrible there was very little to choose from. The new member of staff was terribly slow and brought one plate out at a time and they were still dirty. The tap water tasted like washing up liquid. I will not be coming here again to have a horrid experience. What a waste of my time and money.

Lovely dinner and great service

If you like crispy burnt food , this is definitely the pace to have lunch , This was a burger , fairly simple to cook , virtually solid one side ,. My wife and I had the same meal , both burgers were solid one side , Little In put from the staff , other that ohhh I’ll have a word with the chef. Going down hill in my mind .

We ordered a delivery on a friend's experience.it was easy to order,lots out of stock (think its a wholesale problem),quick delivery.the ribs were OK,the hot honey chicken wings were really nice.the cornbread was tasty but some bits were overcooked and too crunchy to eat.i do feel the cost was a lot for what we had

Great service. Waitress was first class. Unfortunately, the food was the opposite. Had starters and main courses from the festive menu. My starter was chicken fries, which were not bad at all, with a barbecue sauce. My fiancées starter was prawn cocktail, which was swimming in so much sauce the prawns thought they were back at home. Except more chewy. With a couple of fairly plain lettuce leaves underneath. My main was a christmas dinner. The turkey took me back to old school dinners, and the broccoli was pleased to be eaten to take it out of its soggy misery. The roast potatoes were nice to be fair. The other main was salmon. The salmon was reasonable at best. The hollandaise sauce that went with it was had an after taste that would have spoilt a good dinner, let alone this one. This came with spring onion mash, minus the spring onion, and a couple of the same sad broccoli pieces that I had. We haven't been to a Harvester for a long time, and although this was the festive menu, and not their usual, I'm not sure the word festive described it accurately.

Breakfast amazing service lovely

Nice decor, staff were very good, and the food was good. Would happily visit again.

Firs Class service. Good hot and tasty. Toilets clean.

Fantastic food and ate way too much! Brilliant service and will be back again.

had a dinner their it was dreadful. the soup was cold and thick, the samon was burnt and dry and the veg was enedible the hot apple pie was cold, so all in all vey bad. we waited an hour between starter and main course. not only my dinner was bad every other was the same on our table will not go there again

Another great breakfast in the Buccaneer and really pleased that Anne was our waitress again. Can't fault the service or food quality. We are now regulars so will definitely be back soon. Thanks again.

Service very slow, food average, staff useless. Not the best harvester around

Birthday celebration meal tonight, girls' night! Was a little worried it would be really busy for Christmas, but it was a lovely evening. Cosy and comfy surroundings, excellent food, great variety, and all served hot, fresh, and tasty. Maddie was our waitress/hostess, very attentive and kind, asking about birthday gifts, a great sense of humour, and took a lovely photo. Thanks for a lovely evening. Everyone working so hard, we'll done all. A great night out takes a team. Be proud of your hard work 🙌🏻

Service and atmosphere were great but food was lukewarm, obviously standing for a while before serving - very poor and not the first time this has happened

Had breakfast here it was average. Decent portion. It was clean and tidy. From outside to inside all a bit tired.

The service and food we received on 14/12/24 for breakfast was way above and beyond what we have received from any other restaurant. I have multi allergies which I must congratulate the staff for dealing with superbly. I have never received this level of custom before. We will be back the next time we come south.

Festive menu was great lovely service!

Exceptional service, very friendly, Michelle was our waitress and she was great! Thanks Michelle

Great food, came out fast and hot. Amazing service by Michelle, very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be coming back

Maddy provided excellent service wiyh a smile on her face even though the restaurant was full to cspacity providing xmas party meals

2 items with my 2 Course meal were cold , my steak with my mixed grill , and my custard with my desert , the waitress wasn't that concerned , quite dismissive .

Very limited choices for gluten free diners, following the new menu. On previous occasions, have enjoyed the half a chicken and rice. Now, the half chicken has a coating containing wheat and the rice is not available, as that is now not gf. Due to problems with nightshades, I couldn't have the jacket potato. Plain salmon would have meant ordering from the festive menu but I didn't want pudding. All I ate was the simple chicken and salad. I had to eat at home as still hungry, so bit of a waste of nearly £14. Anne our waitress was lovely and exceptionally helpful. But Harvester has gone backwards by limiting gf options and changing a perfectly ok menu.

My work colleagues and I had a lovely Christmas lunch today. We all ate from the 3-course Christmas menu and were impressed with the choices. Portions sizes were good, as was the service, and good value for money. Thank you 🤩

It was a last minute decision to eat at this restaurant. Perfect in every way ☺️Christina was awesome and made us feel welcome from the very start. We chose the Christmas dinner and it was delicious; not to mention good value for money. Will visit again soon! Thank you

Good quality meals, great value as they were generous portions too. We had a large order and every person enjoyed theirs. Thanks
