The Rising Sun Harvester in Dartford

I had a great time and Darcy was extremely helpful at the bar. Very welcoming place and I would definitely come again!!!!

highly enjoyable lunch at the Rising Sun Dartford today My wife chose the new festive menu and chose baked mushrooms as starter and Christmas turkey dinner for main meal. Both dishes were very tasty and well-prepared. I had full rack of ribs which was excellent. we both enjoyed a bowl of top class salads from the Salad Bar. excellent service from Wendy and Lydia who made us very welcome in this comfortable restaurant.

I visited for a lovely meal which was great, shannon our waitress was very attentive. We grabbed a drink before hand from bar maid brooke who was very efficient and smily. Thank you very much

All good from our server Lee. Nice bloke. Good good and quick service.

Served by a lovely lady called Shannon who ensured all 10 of us had everything we needed and was very good at her job. Food was good too

Absolutely great atmosphere, very helpful staff and quality food.

We had a lovely, but werid experience tonight! Myself two kids, my two cousins and partner an mum came for dinner was seated and was told our water would be Kathy! She never came over to the table we had been sitting at this point for over 20 minutes still no drinks or salad bowls. So I asked another young lady. Called" Darcey " for our bowls and drinks she was happy to help! Even then carried on to waiter us threw out our time here! She was Brillant! When it came to paying the bill Kathy disided to appear and take payment! I wasn't happy to leave a tip as she did none of the work l. So I found Darcey thanked her for all her help and gave her a tip for her help! She was amazing and we wasn't even in her section! Was Brillant service from Darcey! Couldn't say the same for Kathy!

Had a pleasant experience on Sunday. Food was of a good standard and notably Emma G was very polite and friendly at making our lunch experience memorable.

Good and friendly staff food was good too parking the was nice too

"I recently dined at Harvester Dartford with my family, and we had an excellent experience. The waitstaff LEE truly made our day with their kindness and attentive service. They were always on time, checking if we needed more drinks and ensuring we were comfortable. Highly recommend for a lovely family outing!"

Excellent service and I'm greeted by a warm smile and serving staff who enjoy their job.

Came for dinner, group of 10 of us, Shannon did really well serving us, couldn't fault her in any way, she was patient and knew the menu well to answer any questions we had. Food was great, skewers could be on a bigger plate was the only possible negative, the small skinny plate doesn't really work that well.

Good food, excellent and friendly service.

I turned up to order some food TWO hours before closing. They was all packed up and shut. Just because their last booking was at 9:30 they took that as an insentive to close the restaurant and go home. Are they not payed to serve customers? Especially when it’s TWO HOURS BEFORE CLOSING I am SO ANGRY. And it still says it’s open now SORT IT OUT.

Kelly gave us good service, very polite and quick. The food was great and the atmosphere although busy was quite nice. A pleasant meal, a nice experience.

Superb service by Shannon who was incredible managing multiple tables and still super attentive. Rib eye steak was ace and salad bar was clean, fresh and plentiful. Drinks served promptly. Really busy for a Monday night! Great value and easy relaxed dining

Popped in on the off chance. Got table straight away. Service was good, promp drink and taking my food order. The waitress Lydia was helpful to select my order and particularly side dish. I enjoyed my meal which came at a reasonable price in these current times

Service quite disorganised and disjointed, however was busy food was ok smaller portions than usual on the combo meal

We ate here this evening and the food as usual was excellent. Our server Lee was also brilliant, despite being extremely busy he attended to our table promptly with a smile

Abbie was a great waitress on Thursday, she served me politely and the food was great!

Food was yummy 😋 and Lee was funny polite and friendly

Food was good, service friendly and efficient.

The menu had something on for everyone, we had meat eaters and vegans on our table and they were all pleased with their food.

Excellent place for lunch! The menu has lots of different options (all sounding delicious), and every main meal comes with unlimited salad from their salad bar (which is also super varied and good tbh). The desserts we had were delicious too and Alison did an awesome job serving us. Looking forward to coming back!

Served by Lee, he was awesome and great service thank you!

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

Waitress was lovely think her name was Shannon . Service was quick

Great service by Darcey. She was so polite, friendly and most importantly, smiley ! She is an asset to the restaurant and a keeper ! Thank you for looking after me and my husband so well, especially as it was our wedding anniversary tonight !

Emma was lovely always love coming here

Our meal was very tasty and was enjoyed by all 3 of us Your staff are always very pleasant

Was served by brooke. Was amazing service and super friendly

Always know what your getting, a good staple of eateries.

Our waitress was the lovely Luvvie as always greeted us with a warm welcoming and smile 😊 Luvvie was very helpful and a great waitress. The salad cart was fresh our main food was delicious and didn’t have to wait too long

Top notch food and service. Good menu selection. Prices are average

Served by Brooke she was amazing running around doing everything serving at the bar and looking after the take away service, and all with a smile. Will defo be back for that service

Food was fine waitress had to many customers to serve. So was was slow to serve us but the serves was good.

They charge too much for the small portions they serve. I still like harvester... But now the price is slowly putting me off

I’m not someone that usually takes the time to review restaurants however this afternoon I had an extremely pleasant experience at the rising Sun harvester. First of all the accessibility options and staff help when accommodating for my son Cameron, he has both allergy and disability needs that need attention. Christine went above and beyond help us arrange a large suitable table in the outside seating area for Cameron to enjoy the last of the summer weather. As well as accommodating us and all of the family, she also suggested the chicken Tuesday offer for £8 which Cameron loved. Christine even offered to fill up Cameron salad bowl. With pasta and his red devil sauce. All in all the entire experience was extremely easy and I will be returning soon with the whole family! Thanks again Christine.

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at the Rising Sun Harvester in Dartford with my family, something we do occasionally. It was my first time at a Harvester, and I was initially a bit sceptical as I'd heard mixed reviews. The visit carried additional weight as I was accompanied by my uncle Vernon, who has a severe bowel condition and is also wheelchair-bound due to his declining health in recent years. We were concerned about the accessibility and seating arrangements for him. From the moment we arrived, Christine greeted us warmly, immediately easing my worries. She thoughtfully helped wheel Vernon to a table near both the salad bar and the toilets, which was crucial given his condition. Throughout the evening, she made sure to offer extra care and attention, even assisting Vernon with some words on the menu he struggled to read. Despite the restaurant being busy, Christine’s attentiveness made the experience relaxed and enjoyable for all of us. It was a truly lovely evening, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for making it such a positive experience, especially for Vernon.

Fanks Christine 4 da bestest time . I did love so much the Red Devil sauce and the sunny seating seats outside you sort out for me and family. Love salad bar

A very nice South African lady served us . Helpful and kind

Served by Emma, vey polite, very professional and excellent table service. A real credit to your team and a true professional.

Myself and my family are very grateful for our waitress Shannon who gave us excellent service she was very friendly and helpful

Our server Darcey was excellent. Very polite and helpful. Service with a smile

Great food and service from Shannon thank you very much. We all had a great time. Food was lovely and served quickly. Thank you Shannon

Enjoyed very much. Will come again. The ribs were particularly succulent.

Amazing food. Massive shoutout to Shannon who served us - what great service

Great service from Emma Burberry… she mentioned there was 3 Emma’s working so gave us her sure name. I was with my pregnant friend who wanted a lot of random bits, but this was no trouble. Emma helped us order on the app and kept the table clean in the bar area. Food was great, always love the salad bar. Thank you

Thanks Darcey for the lovely service and always welcoming us with a smile and looking after us on our visits.

It's local so we use it once in a while. Staff are friendly and there when you want them. Food is reasonable and is reasonably priced. Lee served us a quiet and relaxed meal today - thank you Lee. Visited again 11 Sep 2024. Served by Alison. More of the same really - the service is excellent.

Superb lunch. Alison was the perfect host.

Great food great atmosphere and excellent service by Emma. She was very attentive friendly and always had a smile on her face. Would recommend to anyone

We didn't have a reservation just walked in, we wasn't turned away staff showed us to our seats. Lovely, clean, delicious food, I had the chicken in a bun and chips, absolutely gorgeous, £8 , well worth it. Ideal for families and everyone, welcoming atmosphere, staff are professional and friendly and always smiling, we were served by Darcey, lovely lady, friendly, professional,always smiling 😊. Will definitely eat there again. Thank you.

We used to come here quite regularly but hadn’t been in a while and we were so impressed with the service we received today. From our greeting at the door to our server Emma G, everyone was so friendly. Emma was so approachable and nothing was too much to ask so thank you for a fab Sunday dining experience.

Food was brilliant, service was excellent! Would definitely recommend.

Lydia and Wendy looked after us for my sons birthday they were very friendly

Our experience was great. Everyone was very helpful. The bar staff were very polite and always looked like they were working hard. Overall it was a positive visit

First time coming to the Harvester after a friend recommended. Absolutely wonderful and our server Lee was attentive and polite. Thank you so much Will be back for breakfast next ❤️

Lee was a fantastic server and id hope when i visit again he will be my waiter. Thanks Lee

This was our second visit recently, and we’d booked a table as it was Sunday lunchtime. Glad we did, as the restaurant was busy. The food was good - salad bar was well topped up and really fresh, then we had classic chicken burger and beef burger. Both mains were really good, tasty and well presented. And our waitress Kathy was lovely - attentive but not intrusive - couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you so much.

Quick service by Darcey and amazing food

Lovely meal, and service from Kathy. Just the right amijnt of anttention and wit without being overbearing. A nice experience.

We live local and are always enjoying a lunch or dinner in here. We’ve never had a bad experience with the food. The salad bar was topped up regularly through our visit so was nice and fresh. The staff are all so lovely and friendly. Our waitress today Alison has been exceptional as always when we visit.

Great food and service, all at a reasonable price. Darcey was our waitress who was attentive and polite throughout

A very friendly and pleasant place to sit down and enjoy a family meal. Greated straight away and allowed to settle before ordering. Not rushed in anyway despite always being busy. This is obviously a reflection of how good this place is. The food is great value, especially if you use the voucher codes on the app. Salad bar is well maintained and the service our hostess provides is always friendly and helpful. Only downside is the small car park, often having to park away from the pub, but on a positive note, the extra steps help burn off all the calories. Overall, always first choice for us for the variety and standard of food.

Lydia and Wendy served us with smiles and great service. Thank you

Great experience with Darcey serving us, quick service, very friendly - thank you

A nice atmosphere, good value food and prompt service from our server, Emma.

Meal caused us to had upset stomach for the rest of the day. Probably the salad bar or the breaded mushrooms!!

Went for a family dinner, served by Kathy who was wonderful and had a lovely time.

Kathy gave us wonderful service tonight, food was great and would recommend coming

Very clean & well maintained premises lovely staff quick service easy to park

Brilliant service. The Classic Full English breakfast with Rump steak was excellent. Our food was delivered whilst still hot. The restaurant itself was clean. Great atmosphere and the customer service, was exemplary. Very special shout out to Shannon.

Visited for my daughters Birthday and the food was excellent, steak cooked to exactly as ordered, salad bar constantly topped up and clean and felt very clean in general. Will definitely be back!

Lovely meal and wine with friends in the air conditioned part of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly from Leah. Thank you 😊

Lovely. Had a nice birthday meal and great service from Darcey.

always so lovely whenever we come in, been served by Darcey a couple of times and she’s always been so patient and lovely to us

Always friendly service and quality food

We go there every week and it's always 💯

Food was brilliant, and Krystal was a very polite waitress

Went for sons birthday, my eldest adhd child wasn't having a great day and refusing to eat. The staff member Shannon was great, patience attentive and understanding. My husbands dinner was served and he mention to me about another item that would go well, Shannon was over within minutes to confirm if he would like to order. It was busy and fast paced but there was not wait time and the whole staff team seemed to work well. This is our usual harvester and the first time it's felt so warm and welcoming.

Alison was very kind and harvester was accommodating to give me a separate section for me and my baby. Very nice in Dartford

Great waitress, generally nice atmosphere. Felt welcome. All the food was decent or better. Generally solid chain and this is a good example of it. No complaints.

Lovely waiter and my boyfriend and I had a lovely time.

Lee was very patient, polite and helpful. We had a wonderful evening celebrating my husband's birthday.

Great food and atmosphere, always willing to fit you in where possible if you've not booked.

Ella was the best waitress we could ask for, very attentive and fast with her service!

We had a meal tonight for my sisters birthday and our waitress Ella was amazing great service. She is lovely. Very welcoming. Food was fantastic. Ella is definitely a very good waitress. We will definitelybe returning. Thank you everyone.

Lee was lovely and service was very quick and easy x

Had a lovely meal and super quick service. Our server Ella was very polite and helpful. Definitely would come back again!

Darcy was the best waitress that I have experienced at the dartford harvester. She was so attentive and really made sure we had everything we needed. She was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions with a smile

Ordered a steak “medium/well done” and when it came it was cremated! Could hardly cut it, let alone eat it. The peas were like cannonballs and the onion rings were soft. It used to be really good in there but now will never go back.

We came for a family meal and Abbie was our server. She was super happy, helpful and made sure we had all we needed! Thank you for your smiley service Abbie. Will definitely return

A very good harvester, the salad bar if always topped up and fresh, the waiting staff are friendly, accommodating and very rarely do we ever have an issue with our food.

Had a family lunchtime meal yesterday (Sunday 28th July) 6 of us including young baby - service was excellent, our host was Emma. Shy 10 Yr old granddaughter was ordering for herself and Emma was really patient and kind to her. Food was great - starting with the help yourself salad, 2 rotisserie chicken, a steak, camembert tart and child's goujon meal + a couple of desserts - all in all a very pleasant lunch out - will definitely return - bonus was that we had a 25% discount by downloading the Harvester app before we went.

We visited for a birthday meal and it was perfect. We were served by Abbie. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. Extremely attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our time there.

Abbie was a very nice polite server checked in on us was very helpful👍🏻

The food was delicious and the waitress was very polite.

My daughter and myself went just for lunch and we were served by Lydia and Alison. It was a great experience. Did wait for long to be taken to the table and served quickly with the drinks. The food arrived at a good time nothing was rushed. It was perfect. The food tasted so nice and the portion sizes were very generous. Overall it was a great service and thank you ladies for making it a great experience. I’ve lost count of how many time we’ve been to Rising Sun our local, every time we have had great experience.
