The Horse and Groom Harvester in Bracknell Forest

Lovely meal and reasonable prices. Sandra was friendly and provided great service. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Always fantastic food, great value and happy staff. Sinitta served us today. The festive menu looks great which we will try next time.☃️🤶

Brilliant service, Sandra is so friendly and knowledgeable Love seeing her, she has served us a few times. Food was lovely and hot too

Lovely breakfast Friday- Sunday especially if you have the wonderful Sandra serving with a smile!! Get down here for a decent priced breakfast with the family.

As always, I had a fantastic dinner and service tonight!! With Mel serving me and Sian cooking my food (and Diane’s smiles), it was as perfect as expected! Thank you ladies for another lovely evening! xxx

Food was amazing very tasty and filling with greasy salad and Diane was a fantastic waitress. Great friendly service, massive smile

Excellent food quick service and excellent waitress Diane thank you Food and drink was good quality value for money. Great menu and kids selection.

Great food on our visit tonight to the Harvester Horse & Groom in Bracknell. Also excellent service-our waitress Edita was an absolute star in looking after us! 5* 😜

I went for dinner with my family we had a lovely meal and were served by a lovely waitress called Diane. She was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We visit The Horse and Groom fairly regularly and all the staff are very kind and friendly.

The food was very nice the steak was nice and red Diane was a lovely waitress. Always nice and friendly and makes everyone feel welcome

My Dad and I had a lovely supper here. The only problem was that our main course took more that half an hour to arrive, so their service could have done with being quite a bit quicker.

Julie and Edita always so welcoming, service is second to none. Is why I always return. Drinks are always good and food is exceptional

Great service and lovely staff as always, but food was not good. We go because the girls are lovely and the atmosphere is good, but the food is getting worse. Bob & Francis

Julie is always friendly and very welcoming. We come in here often nothing is ever too much trouble. Credit to the company

Always been a fan of harvester but this Harvester was outstanding. Outstanding service from Sinitta. Will definitely be back soon.

After hearing a honest recommendation from my aunt about how good it was nowadays I decided to trust her instinct after having a bad experience in the past. She was right. The meals are of good quality and tasty. The staff nowadays are nicer than they were in the past. Seemed to want to chat and are very friendly talking to you as if you were friends with them. Table service was faster which was good. Rolls were fresher. They went well with the butter as it was so creamy. I recommend the halloumi kebabs. liked having the pitta bread that came with it. Good value for money too. Honestly, this has been very nice for us. Thanks to the team and my auntie. She came with us by the way.

April 1st We popped in on the off chance, the restaurant seemed very busy but we were still offered a table to eat. The waiting staff were great and the salad cart was well stocked up. We could see the chef's were under a lot of pressure and looked very over worked but it was good to see them battling though a busy shift still laughing and joking with each other. The food was delicious and very well presented. Hats off to all the staff for making another day memorable.

Normally a big fan of this Harvester however, it has started to go down hill. General cleanliness was below it's usual standards. Chefs were not following basic hygiene rules in the kitchen, lots of wiping their brows then handling food 🤢. Service was really slow, we watched our food on the hot plate for 15 minutes, then the waiter couldn't handle the plates as they were too hot. Waiting staff were non existent, I think they had 2 for the whole restaurant and the manager wasn't helping. When our food arrived we had 2 ants appear on our table. We decided not to stay for pudding despite the generous offer of a new table to eat our puddings on, due to the ants. We won't be returning anytime soon, which is a massive shame.

Excellent restaurant came here with my family and really enjoyed the food, the table service by Broady and Delilah was excellent very polite and professional. James in the kitchen the food was top class i appreciate it. Thank you for making the experience excellent once again.

Great food, the salad cart has got better, more choice. Our server was lovely. Very friendly and helpful, her name was Diane 😊

lovely atmoshere, good value food and excellent service. Even with staff having to deal with several "awkward customers".

Amazing service from Dianne. Always had a smile and very helpful. Kids loved her and she even got a cuddle from my 2 year old when we left. Food was lovely and very quick to come out.

Mel was fantastic Food was lovely Such a nice place Free parking Drinks was brillant Would recommend Will come back again soon

Great place to have a great family dinner! We had an amazing time with awesome service from Mel, Sian and the team with fresh salad, hot and tasty grilled chicken and steaks

I've lost count of the number of times my friends and I meet here for lunch. (Once a month for the past 10+ years....) Friendly, attentive staff, prompt service and clean. Absolutely recommended.

Great food and lovely service. We had an amazing waitress called Tracy. She deserves all the praise. Definitely recommend

We visited tonight as a family to celebrate my sons 11th birthday. Our food was really good, and brought out quickly. Thank you to the amazing kitchen staff working tonight! Also a big thank you to Tracy who served us. Nothing was too much trouble and she looked after us really well. Lovely evening, thank you so much

Service was quick and food was hot, Had the lovely waitress Tracey who did a great job the food was cooked perfectly deffenatly will be back!

A truly great visit. Zak,Dan and Tracey were great and they really made our visit one to remember. Tracey really went above and beyond to help and couldn't do enough for us. Complements to the chefs too the food was truly amazing. Great job guys.

What on earth has happened to this place, food inedible, hair found in food, unsafe environment (someone fell over a broken doorknob) is dark and dingy. Cutlery was dirty, bread was stale, salad was old, just not a nice place to be at all.

Another fab meal, made extra special by the wonderful Monday night team- was a lovely surprise to see Sian as duty manager, her enthusiasm and organisation always seems to rub off on the team and there’s a really good vibe when she’s leading. We were...

Food was lovely, wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and glad we chose to lunch here

chicken and ribs cooked perfect by chefs mark, kieran and wicksy great friendly staff look forward to returning in the near future, very clean and friendly

Food slow to arrive and of poor quality - specifically Salad bar low on ingredients and out of "Bacon Bits" Starters - Nachos guacamole has run out so was served with sour cream Mains - steak inedible - mostly gristle, peas left on the pass...

Lovely meal on a Sunday afternoon. Food was quick and hot and the salad bar was well stocked. Served by a really helpful and lovely waitress called Mel - thanks a million.

Diane was lovely fast service and so friendly, food was also really good came out super fast very very happy with our meal out!

We wanted to meet up with friends for lunch but also wanted to try somewhere we had not been before. The Horse and Groom Harvester fitted the challenge. I had downloaded the Harvester App and signed up to the Flavour Club so had a 25%...

Diane was lovely from start to finish. They sang happy birthday to me:) Best thing from my little one was googley eyes in pictures. Nothing was to much trouble, great night

Great restaurant with lovely staff and good food. We regularly eat at the Horse & Groom Harvester. You’ll be well looked after by Diane, Mel, Edita or Debbie, whose service is always amazing. The salad cart is well stocked and fresh (plus they’ll quickly refill/refresh...

Such lovely staff members, we had mickey and rhian and couldn’t of had better service, lovely food and drinks overall lovely evening :)

Great service from Diane she really could not off done more for us and made our lunch very enjoyable

We came here today to take advantage of a 40% off deal, so the restaurant was quite busy as others must have had the same idea. No matter how busy they are though, the team here are fantastic- helpful, accommodating and cheerful. Today we were...

Meals were tasty. Haddock was fresh and light and the simply chicken was nice with the added ratatouille. Served by Diane who was very friendly and helpful.

Very friendly staff who are very obliging. Nothing is too much trouble! The staff really get to know us and our “usual” orders. Reasonable priced food. Interesting menu. Tonight Diane was very pleasant and efficient.

Visited with a couple of friends. Haven’t been for a few years and were very pleased we went. The food was hot and nothing me and hubby weren’t happy with. Our waitress Diane was exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. She was attentive but not in your face. You have to choose what salad you want now and Diane made our bowl up for us. Would recommended this place and thank you Diane for helping to make our night an enjoyable one

The tiniest portion of battered fish I have ever been served . Not one but 2 orders , I have seen much much more served as orders from a childs menu , how you have the nerve to serve what you did I have no idea , 16 garden peas served on mine ,only 13 garden peas on the other order and chips serving very sparse. Wasnt even pleasant to eat wet soggy fish . Was so small was it gold fish or stickle back rather than cod ?

Despite the online booking saying they were full, the staff went out of their way to squeeze us in. As usual they were all fab. The food was great and the service spot on. Diane was our waitress and was brilliant:)

Have to post a review tonight as we were so impressed by this place today - we popped in with our 3 year old as we were in the area, and are so glad we did. We got the warmest welcome from all the staff- from the manager who greeted us at reception, Shannon our waitress to the member of staff who brought our drinks over - all were so warm and friendly, and seemed genuinely as if they wanted to be there. The food was delicious - my partner is still raving about the blue cheese burger several hours later, pork belly was lovely and succulent, and even the child portion of tomato pasta looked freshly made and appetising. Thanks to staff for making our impromptu lunch out so memorable- we will definitely be back!

We were served by the lovely edita nothing was to much trouble for her she looked after us so well .credit to the chefs who cooked our food so well I had the hallumi skewers and it was one of the nicest Meals I have ever had I would highly recommend this restaurant it’s just perfect thank you horse and groom team for a lovely evening

This is one of my and my daughters favourite places to eat… mainly because of the warm welcome we always get from the staff, especially Diane, who always goes above and beyond to make our experience the best it can be. The food today was amazing also.I highly recommend this restaurant for its warm and friendly welcome and delicious food.A big thank-you to Diane and the rest of the team

We had a fantastic tasty meal. The service was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Diane our server was fabulous.

Went for lunch today with my mum and my one year old, the good was lovely and good selection for all of us. Diane that served us was absolutely wonderful. She was making my little girl giggle all day , such a friendly , lovely woman! Credit to the harvester team x

Went with my wife and son today and had a lovely salad and main meal. Served by Shannon and Diane who were both very friendly, professional and welcoming. All the food was cooked to perfection and arrived at the table in good time after we had finished our salad. Great customer focus and service. Thank you.

The food was delicious and our server (Diane) must be the best in the business. It was clearly a busy night for her but she did a fantastic job of making sure that our table, and all the other tables were catered for.

Getting back to the office has been a new experience and it's nice to be able to get back to a routine of bites to eat with friends and colleagues at lunch. Food was great and service with a smile (behind a face mask) by Diane was a welcome break. All within the lunch hour, now to head back to the office and try and stay awake from all the food.

Food was amazing, would defo recommend. Shannon, diane was amazing,cheerful and very helpful. We will back again soon

Had a nice meal out with my partner and got served by the lovely Diane. She had great customer service and was super friendly, would happily go back.

Firstly, this review is NOT about the service my friend and I had, it’s about the standard of food. This is the first time we’ve been out together for a couple of years because of COVID. Like the majority of people it’s not something that has been high on the list of priorities. So this was a semi special occasion. I’d booked the table so on arrival at 7pm we were greeted and seated fairly promptly. We were given 2 menus. The main menu and a set menu. We decided to choose from the set 3 course menu at £16.99 because it worked out at good value. One word of warning though, if you have Meerkat Meals for Harvester for 25% off then it is not applicable to the set 2 or 3 course options. The salad bar option is still available but you are not permitted to serve yourself this has to be done by the waiter/waitress. This is perfectly fine in my eyes and our waitress Tracey was excellent and served us well. Our starters came up while we were tucking into our salads and these were very good. Then the main course came up which was where the experience became poor. Both of us ordered The Dirty Bird. Which was “supposed” to be southern fried chicken breast fillets, bacon, crispy onion rings, hash brown, topped with cheese sauce in a brioche bun with chips. Well, the chicken fillets did not have any taste of southern fried and they were very dry and “claggy”. The breadcrumbs were over-cooked and the chicken was tasteless. To my palette they were inedible. There were at least 6 of them in the bun. The hash brown was very greasy as were the onion rings. The chips were the best thing on the plate. I did bring this to the waitress’s attention and she did ask whether she could get us something else but this we declined. We had our deserts. I had the treacle sponge with ice cream which was very yummy. My friend had the Belgian Chocolate brownie which she enjoyed. To sum up our experience, as I titled this review, it was mixed. Had we chosen something else off the menu maybe the experience would have been completely different and I would be giving it 5 stars but the main course completely let us down. Our waitress Tracey was superb and she went out of her way to report the problem to the duty manager. They knocked the cost of the mains off the bill and didn’t charge for our drinks or the coffee my friend had. The main thing though was that we were “out, out” as we’re don’t get to do it often. Again I would like to thank Tracey for looking after us.

Very nice food and very filling Diane was very helpful would always recommend coming here always have a very nice selection of salad on the salad bar

Popped into our local Harvester after trick or treating tonight and we've had a great experience. Nice drinks and very tasty food. The beef classic burger with chesse and bacon was to die for and the chips actually tasted like real chips. Topped off with a Sundae best waffle which was amazing. Looked after by Ash who had entered into the Halloween spirit with her face painted brilliantly! All in all we'll be back soon. Thanks all especially Ash.

Booked in on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly welcome, great customer service from our waiter. Variety of dishes all cooked well, would recommend no chicken stack for veggies, delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

We had a family at the Harvester last night, the food was good and the service was excellent, We haven't eaten at the Harvester for a couple of years due to Covid, the staff was wearing masks and our server dished up the salad of our choice. Great evening. Our group had masks on to the table and our server Diane made us feel really welcome. We will be back soon.

Awful from start to finish and if it hadn’t been so late and had my 6 year old I’d have given up at the first hurdle. Walked in at 8pm to be told there was no tables and we’d have to wait until 9, the lady on the door was so rude and only offered us a table in the bar when I said we wouldn’t wait. Tried to find a table in the bar but they were all dirty and so we had to settle for a table right next to the toilets. I ordered the food and was told we would be taken to the salad bar. When a better table became free we moved and asked for the table to be cleared and cleaned, it was half cleared and not cleaned, I assume we’d been forgotten about. One of the bar staff then asked us if we’d been taken up to the salad bar and when I said no, she tutted and finally took us up. When we’d finished our salad, our food came out which was absolutely awful. Every single meal out of the 3 was cold, my sons pasta sauce had congealed and my gravy type sauce for the chips was stone cold. I looked around to ask for my sons meal to be warmed up but there was no one around so we just left. I’m not a big fan of harvester anyway but after a long day at LEGOLAND we wanted something quick and not overly expensive. I wish I’d spent a bit more and had a good meal. I will never go to another harvester again after this experience.

Visited the Horse & Groom this evening for a family meal. The food was excellent but what impressed us more was the lovely waitress Diane. She was very helpful and her personality shone through. It was nice to be served by someone so nice. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thankyou Diane.

Very underwhelming first visit. Food was very poor and I ended up leaving most of it. Only plus of the evening was that the staff were friendly.

Mel was awesome and smiley, very courteous. We really enjoyed our visit. The food was excellent and the service was fast

Was a lovely evening being taken care of by Diane, she was attentive and patient and even laughed at my average jokes (normally my form is better but it has been a long week)Food was alright, salad was ok, service was best!! Go Diane!! Whoop whoop!

Be warned the car park is run by ECP. Failure to enter your registration number on the IPad in the Harvester will result in an £85 fine for the car owner.We stopped at the Horse & Groom recently for a coffee and comfort break en route to Kent, the bar staff failed to draw our attention to the Ipad and explain the necessity to enter our car registration number even though there were no other customers in the bar at the time.As a consequence we have been fined £85 by ECP for our 30 minutes visit to this pub!!.

Came here for breakfast in September. Service amazing, so friendly and all staff were so good with my little one. Unfortunately my breakfast was not very nice, I could not eat it as it was cold and had a strange taste to it. I didn’t make a fuss, but when the plates were collected I was asked if it was ok so I explained I didn’t enjoy it. Waitress was apologetic but I was still charged for it. Although I did not make a huge fuss or complaint it would have been nice to have a small gesture on the bill as I did not eat it. I spent £10 to drink a cup of refillable coffee.

Went for breakfast after an email advert. Checked online to see if was open at 9.45 on Thursday and it was. Went to the restaurant and it was closed. Rang the phone, no answer. Not impressed, won't be back.

Shannon was a great waitress for us and we had a good laugh with some great food! Food was cooked perfectly and service was fast and friendly

Came for a quick lunch, manager, Chris, stated they where majorly understaff but seated us anyways and provided excellent service with delicious food out of the kitchen! Nice atmosphere even in the difficult circumstances, would come again.

We came in for a quick lunch and drinks. Our server Kian was great. He was very friendly and attentive.

The Saturday breakfast team were great, very friendly and great service! The food was good value as well.

Had a lovely experience here for a family dinner. Drinks and food came out promptly and the staff were lovely!

Our waitress Sonita was very friendly and attentive, food was lovely and would recommend to all ages

Ate here on Sunday evening. After an initial problem with the booking everything was sorted within minutes. Our server was excellent,nothing to much trouble. I can’t recall his name but it might have Rylan? Food was as you would expect for a Harvester but the service made a difference. Well done all round

Came this evening with our 3 children. Service was fantastic thank you Mel and Chris for being so attentive and accommodating

A group of 6 of us went out to celebrate a birthday and we had a beyond wonderful time! Food was quick to come out and was delicious when it did. Chris and Dianne served us all evening and, despite both being completely rushed off of their feet, were absolutely lovely and incredibly attentive. My only complaint would be that the two really would have benefitted from the help of an extra staff member as it seemed like they didn’t stop moving all night! Despite that, it was a fantastic evening and we’ll definitely be back again soon. Thank you! :)

We booked lunch online for 12.15 and requested an outside table for 3 if possible. We also said that if there was no table available outside we would like a socially distanced table inside. When we arrived they were sadly not serving outside but had made a socially distanced table available for us. There was plenty of hand sanitizer throughout and our waitress Rhian wore a mask throughout our visit. We ate from the lunchtime menu. Two of us had Gammon and one had Scampi. The gammon were beautiful and fat free although a little salty. The scampi was fine. I'd just like to thank Chris and the Wednesday lunch team and in particular Rhian, for going the extra mile in making sure we were not socially compromised during our visit. Thank you all, great job.

Really happy welcome, so refreshing after lockdown. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was great value, service by Sandra was speedy and she gave us a few laughs. Thank you

What a lovely evening we have had the lady on the door who sat us was lovely engaging conversation about our day ( the manager) our waitress Diane who could not do enough for us she was very cheerful our food tasted delicious it was hot and presented lovely even the lady from the kitchen who bought over our desserts was very happy and made conversation with us we had an amazing evening and will definitely be coming back well done horse and groom

When we arrived having booked a table it was a fairly long wait to have someone greet us and show us to the table.We asked to be moved as the seats in this booth were dirty and looked like they haven't been cleaned in a while. Having moved to the bar while we were found another table this too had dirty seats and we therefore had to stand.After being seated the server was fine took our order.The salad bar is certainly not unlimited, I say this as although we were taken once to the salad bar, to which was very much reduced in choice, there was no effort to ask if we wanted any more salad during the meal.The food took around 30 minutes to arrive. Most of the order wasn't as hot as it should be and we had to ask for some of the fries to be replaced. For the price I was very disappointed

The service was amazing food was great Service was amazing for someone with allergies they were perfect

Had a fantastic meal & great service again. Diane looked after really well. Food was well prepared and served hot

We had an amazing lunch here and was looked after my the lovely Diane who was very humorous and catered to all our needs. We had a very friendly and warm welcome by all the team. The food was hot and served immediately and portions substantial. Definitely worth a visit

Went for our family meal today. Diane is such a great waitress. Always so friendly and happy. Nothing is never a problem and always making sure we were all happy or needed anything. Our Meals were great and tasted loved. Portion size is good and Service was quick.

A pub/restaurant with no real ale! What’s that all about? Very disappointed that I could not enjoy my meal with a pint of real ale. The staff didn’t even understand what I was on about. This is part of the M & B chain. One of the UK’s largest and famous long standing breweries. Only imported larger available. Yet down the road Green King pub offers a choice of three or four real ales. Shame on you M & B. Guess where I will be going next time. On the plus side, staff very pleasant.

Diane looked after us so well, lovely food as ever. My daughter always loves the salad bar. Chris and his team are brilliant and I’m sure we will see them again soon

When we arrived here mid afternoon after swimming at the nearby Coral Reef, we were told they were very busy, only had one chef on and the system had just gone down but we were very welcome to come in although there may be delays. We decided to go for it. A lovely waitress called Sandra was extremely attentive, friendly and brilliant with the children. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t have to wait long and luckily the system was back online quickly. Absolutely fab, would definitely visit again if in the area

Fantastic lovely dinner and service from Diane with a smile, I will definitely be coming back. Thanks

We arrived without booking and Debbie sorted us a table which we were very grateful for, a very happy and chatty Chris who took us to our table and explained everything to us we then got served by a lovely waitress by the name of edita who was very friendly nothing was to much trouble for her she was amazing fantastic service from her our food was also amazing everything cooked to perfection everything was just perfect I highly recommended this place it’s just absolutely amazing we will definitely be returning credit to the chefs we have been to many places for dinner but this just place is definitely our number 1

Just had a lovely meal , Katsu chicken and rice , served by Diane and Chris , very friendly staff , washed down with a glass of wine 👍

The Horse and Groom is now our favourite Harvester. Chris and Sandra are delightful! Our second visit was just as good as the first

Excellent meal & service with special mention to staff Chris & Diane who went above and beyond especially on such a hot day - thanks very much, highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant service which is fast and also all the staff there are friendly and welcoming I had a lovely waitress named Diane who was very efficient and friendly to talk to. Food was amazing for the price and they give very generous portions. Overall a fun place for the family will definitely be back.

Fab food, great salad bar even in these challenging times. Great service by Dianne, who was so helpful with my little girl. Thanks

Enjoyable meal , served quickly ( main a little too much after starter) Staff attentive and pleasant . Seemed to be a slight mishap with booking of table, made via internet a week earlier , but easily resolved by a member of the team , who did their best to make sure it didn't become a issue. A special mention to Chris and Diane who were perfect host's and Chris especially who made us all smile with his little comment's. To say the very least a great evening and meal was had by all . 10/10 guy's and thank you !
