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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
