The Rising Sun Harvester in Dartford

We were served by Lee He was very polite Plus extremely helpful And my daughter and granddaughter enjoyed there meal , I could not finish my meal as I always have the chicken which was excellent but very filling

We popped in on way back from shopping to get some lunch. We did not have a booking but got a table in a good location. The car park and the restaurant had plenty of space, probably because it was a Monday. Our waitress Lydia looked after us very well. We had a good meal at a great price as we had a voucher giving 40% off the mains. My only gripe which have noted before are the small rectangular plates as when adding some of the salad to the plate it is not big enough to contain all the food. Apart from that good food, service and price. Will bring my own plate next time.

Mediocre food for proper fancy pub lunch prices. Apart from the gammon, which was cooked well, albeit slightly charcoaled, I was thoroughly disappointed with the price, the quality, and the quantity of the food. Cheap oven chips with no flavour or character - shrunk, crunchy, cremated pineapple - tasteless beans - a 14oz gammon steak that might have been 14oz before all the water was cooked out of it - the elderflower cordial was fizzy water and a tiny guess of flavour - the £15+ salmon bowl was literally just rice and a sliver of fish - what more can I say??? We paid premium prices for school dinner food. I will never be going back. Oh and my dinner came with a free sticker from the kitchen. See the photo.

Served by Wendy and Lydia today. Chicken fell off the bone and was cooked perfectly. It was quite busy as it was lunchtime, the salad bar was a bit depleted, but nothing wrong with the service or the meals.

So we visited after a stressful day at the hospital discovering that my wife has a sprained ankle. But we did not let this stop us! The harvester Dartford always delivers, and it did this time! We took advantage of 25% off food if you download the app. We had the ultimate mixed grill and that was enough between two of us! The lady serving us was very nice and helped us as we did not want black pudding with the meal (my wife is allergic). It did come with black pudding anyway, but it was the thought that counts. Thanks for having us. We will be back. Probably tomorrow. One more thing. We asked for extra onion rings which did not come, but we couldn’t eat the amount the gave us anyway. So it was probably for the best.

I had katy as our waitress and she was such a sweetheart definitely coming here often

Great experience we had a big table staff were great! Food was yummy!!

Brilliant meal very happy with the service, Lee is great a massive thank you to him!

Just finished eating here. Our waitress Emma was exceptional. Super attentive and friendly. Thanks emma

The waitress was apologetic but half the vegan mains not available. So, just burger or rice bowl. Very disappointing. Suggest vegans ring and check their menu availability before you waste time and money on food you don't want.

Kathy served us very friendly and chatty and she went out of her way to make my dessert to perfection. Highly recommend this place

Our waitress Kathy was really friendly & ensured we had a lovely meal!

Christine was amazing, she was so great with taking out orders and making sure that everything was running smoothly and communicated great with us about when she was bringing the cake out the Rising star is a great place to have a birthday meal and such great service from the bar staff too

A modern and decent restaurant . The service is good, and the food is excellent.

Kathy served us and was super helpful, friendly and brought our food promptly. We had a hungry & impatient 3 year-old with us! :) The salad bar and refillable fizzy drinks are always a winner!

Always friendly and professional service

Lovely friendly waitress, food was excellent

Kathy was very super help good customer service would recommend

What a lovely night with my boy,, staff couldn’t do enough to make sure we got what we wanted, big thank you to Leah, she’s a credit to that Harvester, 12/10👍

Alison is lovely and friendly. Only issue I have is I asked for my steak medium rare and it came medium well but it was still nice

Very pleasant visit, lovely food and very friendly service, very helpful with regards to my husband being a Coeliac.

Server Leah was amazing. Food was dry and the tacos weren't nice

Great service from Emma had a lovely breakfast great atmosphere

A great meal and at a reasonable cost. Staff were excellent, thank you Wendy & Lydia

Food was great and we were served by Lydia who was very personable and helpful.

Food was lovely and our waitress Georgia was attentive and friendly!

Thank you Kathy for the great service.

Food was absolutely gorgeous and great portions, we were served by Emma G who was so attentive and friendly, highly recommend.

Kathy was a great host - great food good value a reliable consistent venue

Our server Georgia was very friendly and attentive always asking if everything was OK with our food etc. Food was good value for money

Lovely service from Georgia. Checked on us and was fast with our orders.

Excellent service from Georgia at the rising sun. Classic hearty meal at harvester.

Food not that great . Much of it was overcooked and very very hard.

Great atmosphere. Free parking. Excellent customer service. Value for money. Delicious high quality breakfast. I would highly recommend eating here. Nice salads.

Very nice main meals. Combo produced moist, tasty chicken and tender bbq ribs with a lovely corn bread. Unfortunately too full to investigate the desserts. Georgia was our waitress. She was efficient and very pleasant. We will return. Would very much like to see a ribs scampi "turf and surf" type meal in the future and keep the corn bread!

Great food as always ! Leah our server was brilliant

Absolute waste of time... have gone here now a couple of times...been sat down at our table...given 15mins to choose our food...and than only when taking our order are we told...sorry no chicken tonight....why can't they tell you before you are showen your table....harvest has gone down hill....plus the menu is made of mainly chicken and combos.and they have taken a lot of other dishes of the menu....only have 3 choices of burger now..sorry harvester you need to up your game

Medium rare steak was very overdone, onion rings were dry and looked like they had been sat in the kitchen for a few hours then reheated, salad was lacking in options, chicken was the only nice thing we had.

Appalling service and mediocre food. Will not return. The salad bar was a complete mess and half empty. 2 of us had finished eating long before the other meals came out despite asking.

Lovely lunch with good service from our server who was very helpful with a large group who all wanted different co.binations!

Fantastic meal as always, made special with the lovely service from Krystal! Made sure we had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed the evening :)

Had breakfast, Wendy was our server, nicest lady I’ve ever had. We had the classic and ultimate breakfast - amazing. Will definitely return again!

We were looked after by Lee very polite and even though it was very busy we didn’t have to wait long for our food

Alison was lovely, really good service

Had to wait before a front of house member of staff turned up otherwise 5* for Service

Lovely meals, and superb service from Tracey. Two chicken Triples and with gravy... Excellent value for money...

Breakfast was lovely and Our waitress Emma gave us the best service as usual :) made an extra fuss of our little One and brought his food out first so he didn’t have to wait :)

Kathy served us wonderfully, and managed to convince us to try dessert even after being full. The nicest Harvester I've been in.

Emma G is the best waitress, service with a smile and was very helpful when we had an issue with our food. Salmon rice bowl was lovely and the chef put the hot sauce to the side as requested, children’s pizza meal was cooked really nice, however the rib eye steak was ordered as medium rare but served medium to well done. The seasoned chips were also very strong as they’d not been mixed properly. Emma passed this onto her manager and we were given a dessert free of charge which was a lovely surprise. Thank you Emma

Food was not nice, my peas were cold, replacement peas were cold too, waiter was miserable, none of us ate our food, we have been going there every year for my granddaughters birthday but we won’t go back again . When we arrived we had a drink in the bar and while we were being served the bar lady said I hope the table for 10 have refills, as I can’t be bothered tonight , we were the table of 10!! Very rude and disrespectful.

The worst place please never go there are so many better food places. After eating their ribs my boyfriend got food poisoning which was so bad he was throwing up blood and had to spend the night in A&E on two drips. Of course I complained to which I was made to wait a month, I understood this as they must have to process a lot of complaints which the awful standard of food hygiene, but then recieved an email completely dismissing me a despite having proof and pictures of him in the hospital on two drips, we were declined a refund for our meal because we didn’t have a doctors note! My boyfriend was in hospital all night and ill for days and they completely ignored us like we’re below them. Honestly awful!

Visited the Harvester with my friend tonight. Our food was cooked by Bailey, it was really good food and served really well. Deffo recommend!! Will be returning

Georgia was pleasant and professional, made it a great dining experience

Really nice food and good service,it's always good to be back Katy looked after us ,thank you

Lee made my experience so happy and joyful I love harvester and he’s so kind I’ll be coming back soon

Friendly staff always willing to help. Relatively cheap meal out for the family.

Had a lovely meal, was served by Alison who provided brilliant service. Food was lovely expecially the dessert! Great overall.

amazing food very reasonably priced and served fast. Was served by Lee and he has amazing!

Tonight was a special occasion and we were looked after by a lady called Leah. Leah was helpful with menu recommendations and she was very friendly and professional. It was obviously a busy night (didn't expect it to be busy on a Tuesday) but everything ran smoothly and our food was delicious. The ribs were crazy good!

Alison was very lovely and on the ball ,making sure we had everything we needed and was as comfortable as possible whilst using the services , would definitely recommend for breakfast nice and fresh ,will defiantly be coming back ☺️x

Yet again a fantastic meal, service was excellant, it was really busy even though it was a Mon eve. Shannon was here there & everywhere keeping everyone happy, always attentive always, cheerful ,she is definitly a big asset to this restaurant. Lovely meal, 83 combo & half rack of ribs with chips plus really fresh & full salad bar. Cannot fault this place I, we have been coming for years & have to say this is probably the busiest & best we have seen it. Well done to all.

Alison is an excellent waitress, makes you feel welcome and is super helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good value, tasty and plentiful. Mushrooms a bit soggy but everything else cooked to perfection. Overall, it's a very good place for breakfast.

Just our 2nd time here. On each occasion the person who served was very pleasant and friendly. On the 1st visit the food was hot and a nice change to have a hot plate also. Unfortunately, this was not quite the case on our 2nd visit but not enough to grumble about. My fault, I should have requested that the poached eggs be separate from the toast - nothing worse than damp toast!!! Not quite 5* experience but a worthy 4*. Will be back.

Tried to order only to be treated like an animal by the Sunday manager. Not only did she not apologise, but then proceeded to raise her voice at me, my partner and my child. And this was the manager of the establishment.

Discrimination of any kind is unacceptable and I will ensure that I use the full extent of the law to prevent others from experiencing the treatment I received at your establishment.

great service from Alison! enjoyed our meal 😁

The staff were all very polite, helpful & friendly. However, due to half term it was extremely busy & it was obvious that front of house were understaffed.

It was great that the staff were so friendly and helpful. They heard it was my birthday and made it special. Need to change the way they cook there steaks or understand that well done is not cremated and tasted like charcoal.

this was the first time we have visited The Rising Sun in a while and we were pleasantly surprised. The food and service were very good and we will definitely visit again

Had a lovely value for money 2 course turkey dinner. It was very tasty and would have it again. Certainly, a return visit is on the cards. Service was great and the staff was happy and helpful. Good Stowford Press cider on tap. The car park is a tad on the small side, so at certain times, you might have to park down a side road. However, would 100% recommend.

Lovely family meal. We were served by Lee who was amazing at making us feel attended to and welcome!

Food was lovely and Lee was realy helpfull would definitely come back again

Visited the Rising Sun for my birthday with family, I have dietary requirements - Coeliac and Dairy intolerant and find it difficult to eat out in many restaurants however we just found out that the Harvester is Coeliac friendly. Kathy was great she made me a salad bowl from the kitchen to avoid cross contamination and ensured my food met my needs. Kathy was a great waitress, polite and attentive even though it was quite busy. Nothing was too much for her. Well done Kathy :)

Went along for a family meal, and was not disappointed. Lee (Leaf!) did such a good job with our table, and our two year old son clearly loved him!

Very helpful and friendly staff, lovely food for breakfast, will return soon. Thank you :)

Lovely food , good atmosphere Polite staff Lee our waiter was wonderful and as two 2️⃣ gnus had food allergies was very aware and helpful Thank you Lee

Kathy we're a kind and very helpfull member. Appreciate the services from Harvester. Food turn up a decent time after ordering.

Lovely food and excellent service. Thank you

We went to lunch today on Valentine's Day - it was very busy but Alison's service was excellent in spite of a large crowd that she had to deal with! She ensured that I'm out of risk (fully covered) due to my nut allergy and she let me sign the necessary consent forms. The food was great and we liked the salad bar as well. It was our first experience at the Rising Sun and we will definitely go there again. Thank you for your great service and excellent staff :)

Food was amazing cooked very well and tasty our server was a delight Kathy was very plesent and bubbly very nice meal 😋

Great food and service by Lee! Many thanks Lee for being patient with us through our bill complication!

Lee our waiter was extremely helpful & polite. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely. Definitely coming again

Excellent food and atmosphere tonight for our friend bday xx

Very Good all round. Georgia was our waitress and was very nice and helpful.

Lovely evening, food was delicious and couldn’t fault the service.

Louise served us, she was brilliant lovely lady Made us feel welcome and very helpful The food was lovely too

we had a good meal just wished there was a choice for sweet potato fries or chunky like gastro fries or chease on fries plus would be nice for a option for vegetables. the afters came out cold we did request to be hot but I'm sure it was only put in a microwave I wish it was done from scratch the service was friendly and price was good over all I would come again. I prefer it to the toby carvery.

Met with family for a birthday treat. Food was great as always. Not had a bad visit to this Harvester!

My husband and I popped in for last minute notice meal as we were passing. The service was first class,so a huge thank you to our waitress Kathy, the meals were great and my steak was cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth. Best steak I have tasted ever! Well done Harvester we definitely recommend this one and will be paying a return visit. Thank you 😊

Shame that all of a sudden over the last few weeks rotisserie chicken is never available to order for delivery....so haven't been able to order. When will this be sorted?!

My freinds and I enjoyed a very nice meal from the set menu. good choice of mains, as much salad as liked for starter and we all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch

Lovely food as always, Lee our waiter was amazing. Will be back for sure

Thoroughly enjoyed experience -food good ,overall good.

Lovely meal this evening and Georgia made our visit great, attentive and helpful.

We were really lucky to be seated quickly on Friday night. We were served by Christine who was genuinely lovely and made sure that we had everything we needed.

My friend and I have been meeting regularly here for years and always enjoyed the lunchtime set meal, but on this occasion we found it didn’t figure anywhere. Disappointed, but from the leaflet that came with our bill, it seems it is still available. We just weren’t offered it. Equally disappointing was the fact that my Wallet in the app kept giving me the message to “Try Again”. This meant we couldn’t use the 50% deal. The food, as always, was excellent, and the salad cart was fresh, clean and well stocked. The new dessert, the large filled choux bun, was delicious. Service there is always friendly.

We always love to have our lunch there. The lunch is delicious and we enjoyed fresh salad with it.

Was served by Georgia who was very busy but still very helpful in the bar area on Sunday lunchtime. Good was served very quickly and new menu is great. Thank you Georgia!

Calamari was burnt, burger smelt terrible and my childs chicken was cold, when i approached the manager i was met with a complete ignorant arrogant man. Who told me i should of complained earlier, which i had already done and sent the food back and left the restaurant, the waiter was so un helpful and lacking any understanding, i have always eaten at this restaurant, but i wont be going back any time soon especially when being met with such a arrogant and ignorant manager who was arguing with me about my complaint The burger i ordered was made up of two frozen cheap burgers and not the burger i always order. And it smelt terrible Along with over cooked calamari Terrible service and terrible customer skills especially the manager

3rd visit in a row that they’ve run out of rotisserie chicken which means a dozen meals are off the menu. Wanted to try the new ribs and chicken platter and if not have the classic original combo but couldn’t. Ended up with steak which was overcooked and grissel throughout. Salad bar yesterday was a mess and 8 items missing which we waited for. Disappointed, as been going for 40 years and is just slowly getting worse.

Food was good. The server Georgia was very attentive. Will be back again
