The Harvester in Wigan

Fab friendly service, lovely staff, food fresh and served at correct temperature! A great experience, a solo dinner for myself as am on a visit

Our favourite place to meet up for a girls tea out. Service was amazing from a young man called Aaron thank you 🙏 Food was beautiful, hot and very tasty, I would recommend the rotisserie chicken with chips & chicken gravy. Thank you Rachael 🙏 The new menus are great can’t wait to try something new again on our next visit 😃 I have recommended The Harvester to friends & family. Thank you x

My partner food was cold and my eggs benedict was undercooked. The staff was friendly and approachable. Wouldnt go again

Lovely breakfast, sausages were amazing and poached eggs were fab, all good were fresh and hot. Alaina who served us were fantastic. Very friendly and she mentioned she were new but was very professional and lovely. would go back on service alone. Thankyou

Food and service was very good cooked by lily, Ryan, gabs and Chris! Would definitely recommend coming here! Service from cat was up to standard and very polite!

Great service Sara was lovely and attentive! Would definitely come back. Delicios food thanks Gabby too! Really enjoyed our experience!

Good service, nice drinks, but my £19.29 meal could have been better. Served with cold rice and beans, the full rack of ribs was warm, all on a cold plate. The waitress offered to change it, but I preferred to continue eating it rather than wait further. The meal should not have gone out to a customer. My wife's chicken dinner was enjoyable and, the salad bar was a nice addition. Would we go back again? Yes, when in the area

Food and service was good although lettuce in the salad bar had seen better days. My chicken dish was lovely though, but the outside, not so inviting!

Served by Courtney and she was very helpful and friendly towards customers. she is very hard working towards this restaurant.

We had a great meal on the £8 Tuesday chicken deal. Excellent service by Sara and the meals were well prepared by Danny. Would recommend

Not a great time. Food was slow to arrive and fish was hard to carve as over battered and like rock. My friend refuses to go again although I've been there before and it was much better. Probably a problem in the kitchen. I'll go again and try to bring my friend but please improve. Not up to standard.

Sara was excellent and food cooked by Lily, Lucy and Courtney was lovely. Happy you are open again. Thanks for lovely evening.

Food was really nice. Super friendly staff, Grace took great care of us and always makes sure we have a lovely experience 😊

Lovely server but such slow service and long wait for food and drinks considering it was quiet. Had to ask twice where the food was and no one came to check how the food was or anything just screaming and shouting in the kitchen acting like children wouldn't go back the person who greets you when you first walk in seems like he just couldn't be bothered either

Really nice breakfast for a large family gathering - all food brought out at same time and was really delicious - thank you Beth (our server) who looked after us really well.

Fantastic service. Welcomed by the staff and given quality time to order. Staff were very efficient and professional and happy. Food was ordered in timely manner and food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was avaliable and we were given choices. Food was excellent and we felt completely at home here

Went for a meal today, food was nice but there was no bread for salad bar, young lad called Brad if I remember correctly, came out and asked if everything was okay and re-filled the bread and salad for me, service was great, thank you.

Food was amazing! Salad bar, back on point! Harvester went down hill for many years but the refurb and the new staff are great! Well done and a special shout out to our waitress Brianna (apologies if I spelt it wrong) the 'build your own...

Food was brilliant… meat cooked perfectly and the chips were lovely. Served by a lovely young lady named Isobel she was prompt and seemed professional. Great experience after the refurbishment.

We got served by a lovely lady called Beth she was very friendly and polite, food was lovely too definitely recommended to friends and family

Great food, had the mixed grill and it was plentiful, steak was really nice but the salad bar was just OK and we was served by a lovely young women called Beth

As always Beth was great. She always looks after us when we come and goes above and beyond. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. Looking forward to seeing the refurb.

Our server Beth was lovely. We went for a birthday celebration and all enjoyed our meal and had a good time.

Went to Harvester in Leigh, lovely friendly staff was served by Beth who made sure we had everything we needed, food was lovely

Visited Harvester in Leigh for lunch with the family, was served by the lovely Beth, couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely polite manner!

Lovely table service from Oliver, very personable and friendly. Food good with lots of choices. Will recommend

Very happy with both food and service. Oliver was our server who was lovely, very pleasant, didn't feel rushed but also didn't have to wait to be served.

We often come to Harvester Atherleigh and always usually have a good experience, today was no exception and an opportunity to sample this year’s festive menu. Today was made even better by the attentive and genuine service from Beth. Beth made sure everything was perfect...

We decided to go for lunch and we wish hadn’t. The service was very poor. For a starter we ordered chicken wings to share - there was more sauce than chicken and we were not even given side plates for the bones. The sauce was...

Absolute rubbish service, had a rare opportunity to spend some time with one of my daughter's, she's 9, while my other daughter was at a party. Had to po k her up at 2, stepped in at 12;15, left at 1;30 only having a starter,...

Not been here for a few months and understand why we stopped going. Breakfast was overdone, they laced the mushrooms and tomato with lots of pepper, unlimited toast has gone and now £1 extra per toast, paid for unlimited tea and had to go up...

Excellent service by Oliver and food for a harvester was very good. We would return if we were in the area, no problem at all. The outside of the building and some tables/chair could do with a little TLC.

Visited The Harvester this evening and had Beth.C serve us. She has been absolutely amazing!! She has provided an absolutely brilliant service, been extremely accommodating and even took the time to go things with our children when they were indecisive. Thank you 🌟 Food arrived...

Excellent service by Beth.C, good memory for the amount of people she was serving. Looked after every need 🙂

2 x breakfasts were very nice snd the eggs benedict was also superb. Runny yolks and very well presented. Service by Keeley was of the highest standard, very polite and attentive.

Had a lovely meal and waitress named elle was lovely and made me feel welcome! Would return again. Good customer service, thank you ell

Very slow salt is unusable and the food is bland and waited over 50 minutes for an ice cream I do not recommend

Great meal, lots of celebrations going on but service was still great. Special shout out to Grace, our server, only person I've met who lives up to the name.

Went in on Thursday the 10th and was attended to by Tasha, she was pleasant and helpful. Despite it being busy we still enjoyed our time there. Really enjoyed our lunch, would go back again 10/10

Been here many times but the food tonight was appauling... salad bar was empty and had to ask for it to be replenished as were the bread and sauces. Too an age to get an allergy form for my wife and when the food arrived...

As always service and food great. Keely was attentive as well as the other staff. Generous portions

Went to harvester today to be greeted and served by a lady called tasha, dark brown/black hair. From start to finish tasha was very pleasant and helped us with the menu as my mother has an allergy. She went above and beyond for us today...

Been to numerous Harvesters across the North West, but this was our first time at the one in Atherleigh, we thought we would try somewhere different for Father’s Day. It was easy to find, a good size carpark and disabled parking is adequate also. The...

Our server Amy was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly and chatty, nothing was too much trouble. (Even with the eat out to help out offer on) The food was lovely too, can't fault anything with our visit! Would highly recommend.

Great service we felt safe eating during covid and all the staff were very helpful and chatty . Thanks

Tried to get in a local pub on spec but they were just “bookings only” so we tried the Harvester. Unlike another chain (with Farm in the name of their pubs) the Covid measures didn’t seem totally over the top, but we still felt very...

11.99 for single veggie burger in a bun, with pathetic peice of veggie cheese on top. Absolute disgrace. No effort made.

So happy with our visit! The vegan options are soooo yummy and put other local all-vegan places to shame. Katsu curry and aubergine tagine are INCREDIBLE! The portions are big and prices are small. The tables and cutlery are always clean. The salad bar is awesome and great range of drinks. Cannot fault this place!

Salad bar was nice although potato salad was nearly empty. Mushrooms in breadcrumbs with a garlic dip were enjoyable. Steak in a bun was also very nice, the only thing missing was English mustard. Surprised they didn't have any mustard at all!? They even gave me a toothpick at the end of our meal. Recommended

I called in with my daughter for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Trying to eat healthy so I chose a 2 course special, soup and 2 mini rolls, baked potato, chicken breast, steamed veg and unlimited free salad. My daughter had breaded mushrooms, followed by baked potato, Camembert and tomato tart and coleslaw. Staff were pleasant and helpful and it was great to be able to eat healthy and feel like I had a choice of food and the price was just over £8 plus drinks. I will be going back

Been here on a few occasions and never had a problem, customer service is awful we had a waitress named Dawn and she was just rude. When taking our order we asked for the kids drink to which she told us they didn’t do, even though it was stated on the menu? She asked if the little one was having anything to which we said no and she questioned again saying not even cereal, we’d already said no so she should of just taken our answer! I wasn’t going to pay for a kids breakfast for him to not eat it, he was having some of mine. But the impression I got from her watching us all the time is that he shouldn’t of had anything of mine and we paid for his own plate of food, he’s 17 month old wouldn’t of eaten a full breakfast therefore wasn’t going to pay for one. Didn’t stay very long ate our breakfast (which wasn’t the best) and left, all the members of staff didn’t have a smile on their faces the time we was there just miserable people. Won’t be returning!

Seated quickly, initial order taken quickly and then the service became non existent! Had to call a waitress over to get drink refills, we wanted to order desserts but got bored of waiting! Thankfully we could pay the bill using the harvester app as we would probably still be sat there waiting for the bill!

Ate here with friends whilst staying nearby. I like a Harvester and this was a good example of the brand. Seated quickly with good service all round. Restaurant was pretty busy but speed of service wasn't affected at all. We all enjoyed our meals and at £12.99 for two courses it represented very good value. Only minor complaint would be I'd have liked a few more chips but that may be because I was famished!Special mention to the wholehearted Northern friendliness of the whole team, tip top!

Harvester has been one of my favorite restaurants for many years. So every time I visit the UK I am going to one of these restaurants.This time was the one in Leigh! I was disappointed as the salad bar was very poor and the portions seem to have halved! Not sure if these comments should be applying for this particular location or is it a strategy move that applies to all sites! If it is the latter, it is a real shame!

Me and my friend went for breakfast before she went away on holiday the continental bar is brilliant lots to choose from and the go all in breakfast is really good as you can choose what warm food you want plus there are other warm food options too one of my favourite breakfast places to go

It’s not pretentious and you shouldn’t expect it to be fine dining, because it isn’t, it’s a basic meal at a basic price. The quality varies unfortunately, sometimes you get a good steak, sometimes not so good, they aim to please so just let someone know. I can’t say fairer than that can I?

I actually like Harvester, really I do, I love the whole free salad bar and bread concept, although last visit the salad actually didn't seem as chilled. In fact last visit was the letdown for me, not only the actual issue but how it was handled.The menu states and I quote " We've got the rotisseries fired up all day, making sure your chicken is freshly cooked no matter what time you visit us"I had an 83 combo, my chicken was a dry as a bone! It's a good job the gravy was there! The cut side was actually browned, dry and hard where it had been reheated on a hotplate of some kind. I truly haven't had chicken that dry for years!I brought this up with the waitress and the reply was "didn't you mention it when I did table check" ie asked if everything was OK Which actually annoyed me as it insinuated I was being less than honest! The plain fact is, at that point I hadn't eaten any chicken as I'm one of those people who eats such as mixed grills in parts, meaning the ribs went first etc, I was actually looking forward to succulent, juicy, rotisserie chicken!The waitress went off to the kitchen, came back and offered me a coffee on the house! I refused, actually felt a bit insulted. Ah well lesson learned! In all honesty, it wouldnt have been such a big issue for me if you hadn't bigged up the 'rotisserie chicken' so much! I can get much better from Tesco deli or a Leigh market stall!

I have to say good value for money but overall a underwhelming experience. Three courses for £14.99 and salad was good but no atmosphere, well very empty for Friday evening! OOS ok and serves a purpose but not sure we will return to harvester anytime soon........

Myself and family eat here about once a week, we have always had great service (our favourite server is the lovely Dawn, who always seams to go above and beyond to all the guests) food is good and the haverster app gives us great deals.

Do not waste your time visiting this place. Staff very rude and very unprofessional. Especially Dawn. And the manager obviously has no back bone as he didnt even try to resolve the issue dawn made with us. Terrible attitude . And very poor service. I would never return again.

Checked on the Harvester app and they were offering 2 for 1 on chicken dishes so arrived for exactly that reason. We must have arrived at just the right time as they seemed to be running low on chicken (maybe because of the vouchers?) but, after a quick check with the kitchen, there was enough for one triple combo and one half chicken. Both meals were really enjoyable, the Cajun chicken breast with the triple combo was out of this world and a huge improvement on the previous grilled chicken breast, while the chicken gravy and triple cooked chips get better every time. Lovely service, quiet and clean - we’ll be back (though possibly only when vouchers are back as it’s a little expensive for a midweek meal)

Just had a lovely meal ,served by jess who was absolutely fantastic ,nothing was to much trouble ,had lovely chat with her made us feel really welcome ,would definitely recommend a visit and chat ,food was cooked by Christian

Poor food. Not very clean . Slow service. Toilets need a refurbish . Salad bar looked more like a salad brawl . Did complain . Didn't pay for meal as manager said he was disappointed with comments and didn't charge

We had lunch at this venue and we were all rather disappointed by the quality of the food, the quantity and we felt it was poor value.

My son took me for tea yesterday. We got a table and told someone will be with you in a minute. Exactly 25 minutes later after my son asked they took our order. The prices are far too dear for what you get now. I will never go there again. No wonder it was quiet. It used to be packed.

The last time I went to this restaurant before my visit in December 2018 was back in 2015. I did not go to this restaurant again during that time because the gammon has more fat than meat, pineapple rings had the core still in it, my brother's fish was served raw and vegetables were stone cold and undercooked. Not only that, half the stuff on the menu weren't available so that made choices extremely limited.

I have been a few times and never had any problems which is why we go back. But tonight has let us down. Pork belly was hard as a rock and so over cooked. The rib meet was hard to pull from the bones and not tender at all. Then I get bites on my hands from what I believe to be bugs.

We came here on mothering Sunday and it was really busy but we were seated straight away. Once we'd ordered what we wanted for breakfast we could go and get toast, cereal, fruit etc. It didn't take too long for the cooked breakfast to come considering how busy it was and the food was really nice. All was cooked well and was tasty so have no complaints. I'll be coming back again soon.

I went there today with my parents and a friend for thier breakfast and was sadly dissapointed by it. The service was great but the cups at the coffee bar were "sticky", the bowls by the selection of bread to make your own toast etc were not clean and had bits still stuck to them. The tables are cluttered with menus which are not taken away once you have ordered then they present your food on rediculous weirdly boat shaped plates.

The food hereis over priced and not good quality at all tried to like this pub atmosphere is none exsistance and is frrezing in there too we asked them to turn heating up and was told they werenot allowed asmanager has said not to even though they said a few that night had complained it was cold notning worse than havingsomthing to eat in a cold place .

Service, food, availability and restaurant awful. The heating was broken and the place was freezing, not just a bit chilly but full on freezing. Really think it should be mentioned before you order drinks as we wouldn’t have stayed. Service wasn’t great, had to ask twice for salad bowls, then finally the food arrived before the bowls so had to be returned. Choice on salad cart limited, no croutons which are the only reason our son wants to go here. I asked the lady but she just never came back. Food was not good overall, dried up and tasted weird. 100% wont be going back. Waste of £60 which incidentally they asked for before giving us the actual bill! Very poor all round.

First time visit to this restaurant and will be my last.

Great service from the start, food was excellent, couldn't fault anything, management should be proud of you all, will definitely return.

Come here alot with family and friends and never had any problems. Food is always brilliant. I love the salad section. And the gravy is brilliant, with the roast chicken.

Was great really was welcoming from the moment we went in. Food was great and the service was the best we have had by far in a long while. Each girl is a credit to the place especially Tasha she was fantastic!!

WORST food I have had in a long long time. Stay clear of this pub.

Used to love this place but it’s gone so down hill. Prices are a bit high for the quality of food served. Staff have always been lovely but you can tell they are under staffed.

My wife and myself had breakfast here this morning.

Lovely early evening visit. Salad bar well stocked, great service with our food coming out before we’d even had chance to finish our haul from the salad bar! Original combo was great - the ribs were especially meaty - and the new chunky chips are beautiful! Vouchers aplenty on the app, well worth looking out for.

Fantastic menu choice comfortable seating..great home cooked food large menu selection ..refils on drinks ..great staff service ..grat location

Some of the staff are so rude here, the only person we can recommend is Tanja. A particular one is Dawn, never cleared the table once until we had all finished eating. A terrible attitude with people.

Goodbye fries, hello chunky chips! So good! Will definitely be having fish & chips next time (especially as it seems as part of the new menu you can pay a quid for a double portion). Some of the things on the new menu look really good though I stuck with an old favourite in the 83 combo which was great as always. Food came out REALLY quickly - so quick in fact that I’d only just finished my starter! Good service as well. Enjoyable all in all.

Practically live here. Food and drink great unlimited salad bowl, staff very friendly always manage to get a table any time of day

Great place to visit, free salad starters and well Cooked and presented food. Easy parking and friendly atmosphere.

Chicken was delicious. Succulent and well presented. Very tasty. Service excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Very impressed.

Had one of the worse meals I've had. Not worth the price but apart from that the jacket potato was old, the chicken was burnt and dry, the butternut squash had no taste, the one point is for the tender stem broccoli, all 3 little pieces of it. The gravy was that thick it didn't pour but slopped out. I liked the idea of the all you can eat salad but even that was old and they didn't refill it. All in all just horrible and expensive for what you get.

We hadn't been here in awhile and so were very pleased with service and food. Our server Amy was quick and she took our order quickly, we both ordered the unlimited breakfast and drinks, I also ordered the pancakes thinking that was included. No! So the salad bar has some salad or there are cereals in boxes, also bread that you have to take to toaster yourself,

Mi pareja y yo fuimos para el desayuno la semana pasada. Autoservicio. Es todo muy bien si tienes la resistencia de un atleta olímpico para caminar durante todo el año. . Pan en un extremo de la habitación, tostadora en el otro. . . Cereales en un extremo de la habitación, leche con café en el bar en el otro extremo de la habitación. No teníamos que conseguir platos, pan en un tazón de cereales. . Finalmente llegamos. Desayuno . Prefiero mi comida de la forma tradicional, cocinado! ! ! ! . Los granos eran fríos.. . La chica tomó el plato. . Otra chica apareció con mi plato caliente con granos ahora, pero el resto fue por ahora fría. . . Ella no se disculpó ni nada, simplemente poner la placa hacia abajo y se fue como lo había sido incomodados sus de alguna manera. . Como mi padre. Su antiguo solía decir. . . . . . . . "pagas cacahuetes, obtienes monos".

My companion and I ordered from the £10.99 menu where you can have two courses. We felt like this was good value.

Ive never been a fan of this place but the Mrs likes it for some reason and its nearby for taking the elderly In Laws.Food is basic, service is slow, quality is hit and miss, what more can you say. Oh and kids with their hands in the help yourself salad bar is always a downer.Go if your desperate I suppose.

Visited for breakfast, waited just 5 minutes to be seated but 10 -15 minutes to be served! I had paid extra for unlimited drinks tea/coffee, orange etc but no cups & no coffee in all time we waited to be served so had to ask server to get me a cup & refill coffee pot. Myself & my fiance placed our orders for food & I ordered well done sausage & bacon however the sausages cam out looking raw & the bacon not much better so I sent sausage back. We had to queue to taost bread & there was hardly any bread left truly horrible experience

We ordered over phone and picked up 20mins later, well packaged nice and hot and I ordered mash which came well packed and tasted lovely as was chicken breast. Also got seperate package of bread and salad Never knew they offered this service and have used a couple of times always same quality

It's not the best meal ive ever had but is very tasty. I will keep going back due to the brilliant customer service especially from Ray (think that's his name) who is an assett to Harvester Atherleigh. Great at his job!

Visited at tea time on a rainy Tuesday but was surprised to find it fairly busy. Seemed to be very short staffed. Took half an hour to place the order then told no soup which 2 of the 4 wanted. Starters came quite quickly. Duck wings should be removed from the menu they are dry and no meat. Chicken wings were ok. Salad bar was empty constantly. No butter or bread for quite a while. Mains arrived after what seemed like an age. Not normal standard. Burned sausages and overcooked onion rings. No pineapple on the gammon. No manager visible on the floor. No check back on the food. Not a good experience to be honest. The staff that were on duty were working flat out so credit to them. I won't rule out going here again but it needs to improve to keep our custom.

Went with my husband , we had booked for the cinema and decided to call for a meal. I love the salad bar on offer and find it good value for money.

I went with my family August bank holiday Monday lunchtime, the waitress sat us in the worst possible place in the restaurant with no space even though I had a pram and needed a highchair so needed a little more room. We placed our drinks orders, I ordered a smoothie which I expected to come in a glass with ice instead it came in a warm carton and left on the table with a straw, I had to ask for a glass with a straw as I couldn't drink it from the carton as the drink was so warm, when our food arrived it was disgusting, my chicken burger was as dry as a bone as it had been terribly overcooked, my fries were crispy and dry like they had been stood for ages, my husbands gammon was rock hard as again had been left on the griddle to long he couldn't even cut into it and again the fries were dry and crispy. I ordered fish for my 13month old son the gougons were just batter no fish inside and the peas were cold, my 10 year olds pasta looked like the sauce was tomato ketchup with cheese on the top.We had to leave the food it was that disgustingI generally don't eat at chain restaurants as the food is usually disappointing and this visit to harvester has made sure I don't visit any harvester or other food chain restaurants again.We paid £29 for the privilege I felt like I had just flushed the money down the toilet what a waste
