The Bybrook Barn Harvester in Ashford

We had great service from Molly. My family aren’t the easiest customers to serve - as the meals served weren’t hot enough and served on cold plates- but she handled this in an extremely polite matter and helped to rectify the situation multiple times, top quality customer service in a tough situation.

We came for a works meal as a team who work for the nhs…Elliot was our server, very attentive, even asked if I wanted anything else at all at the end of the meal which I found very nice. He was very nice and had a laugh with us which was great. Food was also nice, would return.

We received such brilliant service, we hadn’t booked and it was really busy, however they still managed to fit us in and deliver high standard service, food was nice and hot!

Staff are amazing and attentive, food was fab and well served, seating area in the bar was lovely and welcoming! will come back!

Have not been to harvester for quite a while went with family and friends,really enjoyed our visit could not fault anything all our food was delicious our server was so helpful when I was getting my salad I said oh no my favourite runout straight away she went kitchen and refilled the pineapple shame I didnot get her name thank you for making us feel so welcome we will definitely return again soon x

Nice meal i had the salmon with mash, and dessert lemon drizzle and Jack the waiter was very polite and efficent will return soon

The staff were very friendly and helpful, it was very busy so we expected to wait but the food arrived in a timely manor and was very delicious, we had a wonderful time.

First time visiting this Harvester, Food was really tasty, staff were lovely and very helpful. Will make a point of visiting this location again

We havnt visited the harvester in a while due to a bad experience but we are so glad we gave it another chance, the service we received was brilliant, staff were so friendly and welcoming, food was nice and hot and the salad bar was much fresher than it use to be, we will definitely be returning

Great food, great service, nothing was too much trouble for our server ( didn’t catch name sorry) overall great experience

Our waiter Ursan was fantastic, polite, cheerful, and interacted with the children which was so lovely. He delivered great service to the whole family . A great addition to your team!

What a great experience, Sam was our host and she excelled in what she did! Very helpful and attentive. Food was lovely and fresh.

Usual Harvester menu and standard Harvester quality. The restaurant was very busy for a Wednesday evening, the place looked a bit untidy and needs a deep clean. The food was ok and as always with Harvester wherever in the UK you are you know what you're getting and you know the price too!

We are regulars visitors of the Bybrook Barn, but after recent events and staff not being able to accommodate developments of helping my disabled relative ammend our booking since using a wheelchair now since making the booking yesterday, we certainly won't be visiting again.

Not a pleasant time. Place itself needs refurbishing its tired and old. Particularly the toilets. Quite dirty and smelly. Floor was unclean, tables sticky and toilets broken. Food was ok. Lots of options on the menu, although not so much for vegetarians unless you like meat flavoured everything. But then again is more of a steak/burger house. Staff were lovely . Wouldn't recommend until its given an overhaul.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The food is so good for a good price. The salad bar always has a great range of things on it. It is one of those meals where you don’t still feel hungry afterwards, it tastes amazing and you leave full....

It was my birthday & official retirement day! My husband had previously left SO many bunches of flowers with the staff so it was a complete surprise when we were shown to our table. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of our meal. My husband...

Fantastic meal with friends to celebrate my 70th. Sam our waitress was polite, charming and very good at her job. Food was excellent and loved it.

Fabulous. All the food was delicious and looked like the photos on the menu. Service was really good, attentive without being intrusive.

Absolutely shocking. Food was served stone cold and of very poor quality. Mushrooms looked like they had been cooked days ago and when pointed out to staff the server said “I didn’t want to serve it”. Offered puddings but refused and asked for meal to...

Ottima scoperta una questa catena di pub che offre una grandissima scelta di cibi in un ambiente pratico informale e veloce. Menu ricco per tutti i gusti. Prezzi assolutamente nella norma. Anzi inferiori a molti altri ristoranti. Tacchini squisito con ricchi accompagnamenti. Prezzi giustissimi.. Cody...

DO NOT BOOK TABLES ONLINE I booked a table on 22.10.2023 for a group (12 -15 people) for Sunday 03.12.23 through the Harvester website. No reply, Tried again 3-4 times. No replies. Called the branch - booked through the answer service (press 1 to book...

Visited as a couple for lunch on Tuesday 28th November 2023. Greeted quickly and politely. Our server Trish was amazing from start to finish. So friendly and with a touch of subtle humour too. The food was first class. The Cajun chicken flatbread was delicious....

Waitress Sam, she was very friendly and good service. Food was good and made adjustments to our food for us. Good value for money, a little crowded sitting on a couples table that was in a walk way. Would rather be out of the way...

Amazing food, I had the ribs and they literally fell off the bone as they were cooked to perfection. The service was great, could not fault our waitress Josie, she properly delivered service with a smile and could tell she took pride in her job.

Great service, lovely food and amazing friendly waitress Josie. Would recommend to family and friends.

We had a lovely dinner for a Birthday. Sam our waitress was really attentive to the grandchildren and ourselves. She is very efficient and a good laugh too. It was lovely to have a Birthday dinner at The Harvester.

Great food and our waitress Chiara was very friendly and fast with our order. Defo recommend for anyone and everyone

Very disappointing visit! On arriving, we were ignored twice by staff before being spoken to (to even a, good morning or someone will be with you shortly). We were shown to our seats, after being told she could squeeze us in (restaurant was fairly empty)....

Party of 4 children and 3 adults to celebrate a 5 year olds birthday. The staff were all dressed up for Halloween and the atmosphere was fun. Our table attendant was excellent and he made Archies birthday special. The food was brilliant, tasty and good...

My partner and I walked in for lunch with our 2 children and they managed to fit us in. We was made to feel welcome the minute we walked in. The food arrived quick and was really was great value for money ! Every single member of staff was friendly and nothing was to much trouble for them. Especially Tanya that served us! She really went above and beyond for us and was completely understanding about the mess our children made with their lunch! Thanks again ☺️

One star down for dirty bench seat when the front of house staff took us to our table. Abigail was a fab server- making sure we had enough drinks and food was good! Food could have been hotter. Overall a good experience!

Where do I start! I hadn’t seen the family for a few weeks so decided to go out for breakfast. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast, my son ordered the standard breakfast. My breakfast arrived and at first sight it looked like it had been on the plate for a week! Firstly the poached eggs were missing so I had to ask for them. The sausages were the worst looking vegetarian sausages I’ve ever seen, one was broken in half because they were so dry, and as for trying to eat them it was like chewing cardboard, they were inedible. Beans were cold, hash browns were cold, tomatoes raw, toast half cooked. After 15 minutes I was presented with 2 greasy looking fried eggs and informed the cooks were unable to poach eggs, by now I had lost my appetite. Everything on my sons plate was cold with the bacon undercooked. On a plus note the waiter was very friendly and upon sharing our dissatisfaction with the manager we were refunded part of the bill. When leaving the restaurant I was extremely disappointed and still hungry, we had to go elsewhere for breakfast. I can honestly say upon the demise of the fresh fruit bar this restaurant has gone downhill, come on harvester you need to do better, we will certainly not be returning.

First time here. Lots of seating so plenty of room. Salad bar looked fresh and like it was replenished regularly. Tasty main meals all freshly cooked and sundae dessert was delicious. Friendly helpful waitress. Plenty of parking. Would recommend

Where do I begin! So it started at the door when waiting 7mins to be seated (book a table in advance) there was only 1 staff member at the door (which was on the phone to a customer) but with the manager lingering round I would of thought she would jump in to help! But waited until that staff member was off the phone, the manager was called nikki. Then when we was finally taken to our table nikki then proceeded to be very sharp with her words when explaining about the salad cart, and made my friend that has a eating disorder feel very uncomfortable, we ordered 10 mins after seating down and when we ordered the food came before our drinks which I feel is unacceptable. I feel the sections for 1 member of staff are too big as 10 tables for 1 staff member clearly does not work! Support from management is highly needed when it’s this busy! Being a manager myself I strongly agree cutting down hours for members of staff to save money doesn’t always mean that the customer have a pleasant experience to wine and dine. In a nut shell we will not be coming back! Poor management no support for this staff! I feel like this all need to be addressed, this is not how I expected my experience to be.

Ottima location, cena anche dopo le 19, e soprattutto il personale è gentilissimo! Non da meno il cibo, piatti enormi e molto buoni

Wow! What can I say? Me and my boyfriend Jack loved it First off we were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our seats, there was a lovely view out the window. We were served by a lovely lady named Sedef, the food was very good and lovely and all the members of staff were lovely too. can’t wait to return with him, i am absoloutley certain he is looking forward to our next trip there (hopefully next week)

Really lovely food for great value. The place is lovely and clean and the staff very friendly. A big shout out to Tanya who was so sweet and friendly. Will definitely be returning

Went for a birthday meal on the 20th of June had a very warm greeting from Sam very courteous and very polite asked if there was any allergies as I’m gluten intolerant explained what alternatives there are this is the second time we have visited the harvester and had Sam I hope when we visit again we are lucky enough to have her again she went above and beyond to make our visit a very enjoyable one the management team should be very proud of her and deserves employee on the month for her outstanding customer service we look forward to seeing her again when we visit 5 stars to Sam what one lovely lady very cheerful and a bubbly personality

Good affordable food nice setting. Very friendly service and all items we wanted were on the menu. Much better than the recent one we ate at in London that was awful.

Food and price was an absolute bargain, quality of products was up to great standard. I was so pleasantly surprised by our waiter Jack!!!! His service was impeccable and he has a really lovely bubbly personality, it's not everyday you leave a place feeling so...

Service excellent breakfast disappointing . Sausages over cooked so hard one small mushroom half small tomato had better in local cafes

As pensioners we decided to take our son for a meal as he was visiting from the Netherlands, nis meal..ultimate combo was huge and well cooked, husband chose Dirty burger it was Ok , I chose a steak which sadly was 80% gristle and the...

Shout out to Jack. Talk about service with a smile. We all thought he was amazing. Checked up multiple times to make sure we were ok. Nothing was too much trouble.

Haven't been for a few years and I won't come again,if you want cheap ingredients at higher prices then it's for you,had coated mushrooms which were very watery,corn was boiled till it was mush,chicken spit roasted was very dry,roll in the salad cart was stale,chips...

Amazing night, food was delicious and made extra special by having our favourite waitress Sudef who is always bubbly and laughing which is great and makes for a great atmosphere!!

We had Charlotte as a server and she was excellent she couldn’t do enough for us she definitely made the experience more pleasant. Unfortunately my scampi meal was cold but it did taste nice. Would definitely return.

Great service Friday evening from Jack, he was very friendly and attentive. Made for a lovely evening Jack is an asset to the team

Had a nice lunch and the waitress was great. Good value for money and food tasted good. I wish we had room for pudding but were too full!

We have recently visited Harvester Bybrook barn with a booking at 5.30. Not only was the food great, but our server, Sam (female) made the experience fantastic!

Came here as a group of seven with my family for an early dinner on my birthday and the whole experience was a letdown. First of all our waitress was huffy, bordering on rude. We felt so unwelcome. We weren't told that there were no...

I said that because when you eat at this restaurant and you have your fab host/ waitress, this is a great place to eat. The food is perfectly cooked and served 99% of the time. My hubby and I are quite picky and it is...

Visited this Harvester for breakfast with my partner, we were greeted by a very over enthusiastic young lad who was our waiter. We ordered cooked breakfast and toast along with drinks. The food was very delicious and we were very eased with it, however, we...

We booked a mid-week evening meal here. Not really sure what to say! The waitress was about as welcoming as Attila the Hun, was extremely snappy and lost her temper with me when I decided I didn't want a Coke (sorry - Pepsi). No people...

It is tucked out of the way and easily missed. Lots of parking available. On arrival it has the main wooden lodge feel to it and just needs updating or a coat of paint. Inside it has a warm welcoming feel and was very clean....

Today my wife and I visited the harvester for the first time and we were both very impressed with the seating, speed of service and quality of the food. Our waitress (I think her name was Sefeh but apologies if this is wrong!) was very...

Great family breakfast with excellent service by Trish :). Had the unlimited breakfast, which was tasty, well-cooked and plenty of food.

Service was exceptional 10/10. Sam our waitress was brilliant, friendly, witty and above all else, happy in her work a true ambassador for your company.

We hadn’t been to the Harvester for years and now I remember why. We decided to go because the salad bar had returned. Food was okay but nothing special - highlight was the pasta salad in the salad bar and the Rocky horror sundae (the...

Visited this Restaurant in July this year with family. It was a late booking, 8pm to be precise, due to other harvesters being fully booked so we had to travel for this one. The venue itself appears to be an old converted barnyard with a...

We got a drink each, and a main meal each, both meals were cold, we sent them back and they came out no better! The waitress didn’t know what to Do about the situation and the manager was “busy” we still had to pay nearly...

I couldn’t eat here. Everything was filthy. The carpets are sticky, the table menus and condiments are full of stuck on food and sticky, the glassware was smeary and crusty, there were cobwebs everywhere. Waitresses doing the toilet cleaning. I believe in lead by example,...

Disappointing , disgraceful attitude by this company. Booked on line, included ‘special arrangements for my disabled son and our family. Called the restaurant to confirm our special needs and explained why. Having a severely Autistic son, we had asked for a table in a corner...

Absolutely horrendous from the minute we walked in!!!! It’s one of the hottest days air con hardly works everyone sweating ridiculous. The service was terrible they could not manage! Waiting 20 mins just for my drink! Then tried serving my 21 month old raw chicken...

Main meals were great, dessert was great. Service was great, just the salads were destroyed. I would say not much wrong with the restaurant at all

Worst experience, no salad at the salad bar at all. Poor food standards, where me and my partner had to sit and guess what exactly was a certain substance in my food. Three out of four meals was freezing cold, management was shocking and completely...

Visited for our sons birthday. Really limited and not very fresh looking salad cart for a start. Ordered a medium rare steak and it was raw. When asked if all was ok said the steak was raw - plate swimming in blood and was told...

We visited here after a family funeral and with hindsight we should have chosen a quieter place. It wasn't busy but being put next to a table with a person with her two children, who would rather have a loud Facetime conversation for the majority...

Stopped off for a quick bite and left very happy. Food was lovely and our waitress was even better. Thank you Sam, you made our experience 100 times better.
