The Harvester in Bournemouth

We’re regulars here and this is our first visit since the refurb. It’s much lighter inside and there seems to be more space between the tables. The food is well cooked, and our main course arrived very quickly, we hadn’t even finished our bowl of salad which we had as a starter! Soft drinks prices seemed a bit high though, £4 for a bottomless glass and £5.80 for a ginger beer. The atmosphere was good and the service was excellent, thanks Terri!

Excellent food, very polite, friendly staff. Clean table & nothing was to much to ask. Decorations were lovely and a real family environment.

We spent Christmas Day this year at The Harvester Coopers Dean. The restaurant was full with families. Despite how full the resturant was, we never had to wait long to be served or for our food to arrive. The waiting staff were always incredibly polite and jolly despite the restaurant being very busy. The food was delicious and served pipping hot. Thank you to Cooper Dean for a wonderful Christmas Day. Special mention to Elina who served us, always jolly and happy, helpful and smiling whenever we book a table at this restaurant on our visits to Bournemouth. Despite this being one of their busiest occasions, Elina and the other staff were amazing.

Customer Service at its best!! Christmas Eve breakfast with our grand daughter meeting santa. Great service and great food. Although very busy, we were looked after very well and we enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you to all the team for looking after us.

Came in for breakfast this morning with friends, superb 5 star service by Alison as normal will be back in the new year. The refurb has been done to a high quality as well.
