Service and food excellent. Andrew our waiter was very good. We were greeted by a very polite helpful gentleman as well.

After a long, day and 3 hours driving, we were in need of a break. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, especially Andrew who served us. We both chose to give different meals a try fir the first time and were not disappointed. Despite being 20mins from kitchen closure, the quality was excellent- full of flavour and delicious. Thank you.

Excellent service from Maddie who was polite and efficient. The food was tasty too, and we all enjoyed the visit to this Harvester.

Andrew and Ryan were very attentive as always. Shame the chef won’t do flatbread wraps after 5.00. A nice evening though.

Had a really lovely meal on Sunday. Food was really nice and hot. The salad bar was well stocked. Our server Mytchell was attentive and kind. The restaurant and toilets were really clean and tidy. We will be returning. I would definitely recommend.

From the minute walked in Andrew our server could not do enough for us, changing our seat as I felt a little cold, he came over approachable, friendly and happy. Always asking how we are and if we needed anything. Food that was cooked by Ryan was great, hot and didn’t have to wait long inbetween courses.

Our waiter, Andrew was very nice and polit the chef,Ryan did a good job with the food I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice budget friendly meal 👍

Had a great meal, service was brilliant, Maddie, our waitress, was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and she was very attentive, an asset to your team

Thank you very much to both Andrew our waiter for great service and Ryan the chef for great food and great value we will be back.

Don't usually leave reviews but had a great bite to each at this place today with friends. The service was amazing by a lovely lady named Kerry, she went above and beyond to cater to our tables needs, she was friendly and polite. Also compliments to Sharon the chef- lovely meal!

Just toke my family for dinner the service we got from our waiter Andrew was amazing . Friendly talkative and made our experience so enjoyable

We had an excellent service as soon as we arrived till we left. We ordered our food with ease and the food was delicious. Special thanks goes to Maddie she saved us well and she was fabulous. Special thanks as well to the restaurant as it was my daughters birthday she loved the surprise 🍰 😊😊

Had a family evening out and was served by Georgie. Got there very early but Georgie seated us immediately and was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Food was fairly good but her service was excellent and made the evening. Thank you Georgie

We were made to feel extremely welcome and the staff were so helpful to us which was especially appreciated as we had a wheelchair user with us. They were brilliant.

A lovely lunch time meal. A chicken stack for the deal price of just £8. With the salad bar, this is a brilliant deal. Kerry advised us regarding this deal and was a very good waitress. Well done Kerry.

Great service, lovely food. Served by Andrew who couldn't do more to help. Food cooked to perfection - lovliest salmon.

Kerry did an excellent job serving us, she seemed to be serving the whole restaurant on her own!! Helped us with the app. Very good

Lovely food, nice fresh salad. Kerry the waitress was charming and nothing too much trouble, even though she was the only one there serving the whole restaurant and she told us about the app so we could get a cheaper chicken meal. Thanks Kerry.

Fantastic service given by Ryan thanks so much for being patient and efficient with 24 members of my family you made our day go smoothly x

Food was great but service was exceptional. We were served by Maddie who was lovely. Friendly, helpful and relaxed. She made our night. Would definitely go back and ask to be seated in Maddies section.

I visited on 4/2/24 and it was a lovley meal. Served by a very efficient Waitress named Cyan who went above and beyond for our needs! First time visiting this establishment and will be back!

Monday night, Popped in for a quick meal, excellent service from Ryan, food was good, and arrived quickly, was hot and fresh.

Just had a meal at the Talbot. The food was hot, served promptly and good value. Special mention for our server, Mytchell, who was polite, efficient and friendly. He exemplifies what great customer service should look like.

Went here the other day for lunch and was very disappointed to say the least… The fish and chips was quite honestly The worst I’ve ever had and the halloumi fries were disgusting (very dry) the chicken goujons were okay but flavourless and the crackerjack...

We were amazingly looked after by Louise who served everyone with a smile. Lovely food and we weren't made to feel rushed into finishing

Really can see an improvement at the Talbot more staff, cleaner and ood arrives quicker makes for a better experience.

Great visit. Nice Quick service and friendly staff always wanting to help. Welcoming from when I arrived and will be visiting again.

We had a delicious Breakfast and fantastic service and Mitchell the assaitant manager went out of his way to help us and was charming will definatley return

Had a lovely time here went out for some Christmas drinks, the bar staff Megan was lovely and couldn’t have made the evening nicer.

Xmas 3 course dinner really disappointed with this harvester especially when we have paid £150.00 for 2 people . Firstly the table was sticky , then when the waitress came to confirm our order she took our request for our drinks . We then waited...

Popped into The Talbot Harvester in North Weald for a late lunch was greeted and served by Kerry who was an absolute delight the service we received was outstanding and she is a credit to her Management also want to shout out to the chefs...

Disgraceful. Brunch with Santa. No heating and no pancakes for 6 kids - that’s half the kids menu not available and they only told us that half hour after ordering. No drinks had turned up either. It wasn’t even busy. Now I know why! We...

Looked after very well by kerry and mad Jane we had the haddock which was really nice atmosphere was good have been before.

Where to start… we were a party of 8, 6 adults and 2 toddlers and was only in the area for an event which was about 10 minutes away so thought it would be an ideal location. We had a table booked for 4.30 and...

Where do you start! Large family visit at 4.00pm , offered a very cold table , door wouldn’t close properly so changed into the bar area. Group of three ladies echoed my observation that only one Waitress was working and trying her absolute best to...

Chose The Talbot as the location for our son’s 18th Birthday party - already these guys were on to a winner as we had been turned down by other places who would not accept our large table booking on a half term weekend. The Talbot...

Took my family here for breakfast. Food was lovely and hot, even got a bit of fried toast. Kids loved the pancakes. great place for breakfast

My wife and I called in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the food was well prepared and hot and we were glad we took the opportunity to leave the motorway drive for such a pleasant break.

Lovely meal and Kerry was great. We had the lunchtime deal menu. And it was definitely worth the money, very reasonable priced.

Arrived and had a warm welcome by a young waiter but it went downhill from there. Where shown to our seats which were fine but all looked rather shabby, sticky table, stains on walls the whole Restaurant needs a refurbishment to be fair. Only two...

We had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant tonight for a birthday meal. We was a bit concerned after reading the reviews but so glad we came. We was a party of 10 which normally you stress about if the food would be correct but...

No food! Opens 9am for food on a Sunday, arrive at 10:30, no staff to cook the food. How can a restaurant of this size fail to staff the kitchen! Total disappointment, I'd give it zero stars if that was an option.

Was very disappointed this time,food has mostly always been very good,but this time my meal was inedible. My husband had the harvester combo and his meal was lovely u had the steak the dearest steak on the menu ,iasked for it med rare ,when I...

We have visited this place several place in the past. Yesterday we were gladly surprised that the food tasted much better than before, would visit more often.

Came in today for my birthday with my family and it was amazing. We was looked after by a young lad called Mason. He was brilliant with everything, there was a lot of us and he went out of his way to give us the...

I've not been to this Harvester before, but I have been to Harvester. They have upped their game. Nice, if a bit clinical, surroundings. The salad bar is much improved, the cooked food is fantastic. It's like they've sacked sloppy Joe and his bottle of...

I came in for dinner with the family the food and service was really good our waiter was mason and he was very helpful and polite

Food was amazing and staff were very polite and fulfilled our needs , I asked one of the chefs if they could get something out on the salad buffet , he replied straight away and got a lady to come out and do it ,...

I'm really disappointed with the service we received at the Talbot today. We had visited previously a couple of years ago where we received poor service then, but we decided to give the benefit of the doubt and go again as we assumed there had...

I came in Sunday with my family for a nice meal in which we was served by Ryan, he was very helpful and friendly, in which one of our part had an allergy order and he took us through it thoroughly and made sure there...

Fantastic. Both my boys have a severe dairy allergy and i cannot praise this restaurant enough. Right from the outset our waiter ryan was amazing. Straight away asking if any allergies and confidently dealt with what we needed. Unfortunatly we have had many poor experiences...

Really disappointed as I had only been to Harvester Chadwell Heath 3 days previous and it was very good and it was my treat for my partner which left me very embarrassed as it was unacceptable from the minute we walked in. We had booked...

We’d always enjoyed visiting the Harvester and hadn’t been for quite a while so decided to go last Friday evening. From the outset the restaurant looked very grubby indeed with food on floor and just a general unclean feel. The pepper pot had dried ketchup...

Lovely lunch, had the lunch time deal good value and fast staff, was quick and yummy. Very welcoming

Came here quickly for a quick dinner just popping in after long day of work straight off the motorway. Steak cooking beautifully and seasoned perfectly

Came here at 8:45pm, was lovely, food was great , good service and would come again. Salad cart has changed with some good variety

Just had lunch here with a few friends. The place is lovely and our waiter was great. We all loved the salad bar especially the new slaw. Lunch was lovely. We will be back

Had a little meeting here with my business partner for a drink. Lovely bar area with warm atmosphere

We came out for a family meal, when we arrived there was a sign up saying that due to staff shortage there may be a slight delay this evening…not the case for us at all. We were served by Mason who is a huge credit...

When we arrived we had to wait to see seen and the place was not that busy , we sat in the bar area in the end ordered at the bar , food was very mediocre, the burger was not nice and all and chips...

Tried out the massive ultimate combo, big size and for good price. Can’t fault it! Even the kids enjoyed it

Went with the kids for kids eat for £1, affordable and convenient, will be returning for Easter breakfast with the kids.

Came here for a quick lunch with colleague and was nice and cosy inside and fast. Recommend the chilli non carne, amazing.

This was my first time at this harvester, but my niece and nephew have been there before and recommended it. I was approached by a member of staff at reception to ask me if he could help. Very nice gentleman. I presume he was the...

I came in with some friends for dinner the food and service was lovely we had tye waiting on us and he was so helpful and accommodated all of our needs it’s only my second time there and we will defiantly be coming back

Just been here, went with a couple pals. Was served by manager Tye I believe. Top guy and provided us with everything we needed.

Had a lovely lunch with my friends. We all had the 3 course menu deal that is a great value for money. Salad bar was fresh and full. Best harvester I have been too

We popped for dinner as a group of 6 not booked but On arrival we received a warm welcome from the shift supervisor lady didn’t catch her name. Wanted to give a special mention to our waitress Sharon who was very friendly and give us...

Quick lunch, had a buttermilk wrap, very delicious, salsa was very perfect , and nice crispy salad, salad cart was very inviting and well stocked and clean. Quick , friendly service. Will return again.

Live in Dorset and was there for family reunion. Booked in advance. On arrival at the correct time was told that the only table available was next to the entrance door where people arriving stand. It was an awful table with people waiting to be...

Me and a few friends from our local bowls club come down after a session and really enjoyed our time.

Had an amazing time today. Perfectly cooked steak with just the right amount of seasoning. Waiter was really helpful with suggestions and created a good atmosphere. Looking to come here again soon. Would recommend.

My visit to the harvester was one of a kind, the stake was beautifully seasoned and chips very fresh, crispy and fluffy. I will definitely visit again.

I had a veggie combo, never seen it before must be new, was great and would have again. Service was fast and food was hot.

I'm a Aussie with relatives in the area. I have been here 3 times now, twice for Psychic Night, where we at a meal first. Most recently I had the chicken. It was decent pub food, nothing flash. There is a salad bar which is...

Popped in for a drink. Nice clean and welcoming pub. Staff were friendly. We didn't eat, but we did notice that quite a few people around us in the bar area were complaining of the food being cold. The manager did his best to sort...

We popped into the Talbot Harvester for drinks and we were welcomed by Jamie, who had served us on a previous visit and it was nice that he recognised us, which made us feel welcome. We ordered some bar food which arrived quickly and was...

Came into this harvester to get some food. I sat in the bar area with my family. Food was good would recommend. Jamie the bartender was brilliant and very helpful.

Went here yesterday with family to celebrate my brother’s birthday. 12 of us booked for 6pm we were seated on time 👍🏻. We ordered our drinks and decided on meals. A couple of us wanted chicken skewers unfortunately they didn’t have any chicken, so I...

I appreciate that it was mid-week, and to make life easier the restaurant only used the end recess, the issue was that the tables were far to close together. There was a child with a persistent cough ( I know it’s not the restaurants fault)...

Table of 6, but given a broken round table upstairs that a drink literally slid off and we was brought a stack of napkins to prop up, even though there was already loads and folded menus trying to level table. We moved to another. Lovely...

Very disappointing visit on a Saturday night. Seated upstairs where where were alone and therefor forgotten about. Had to chase down a server for a drink order. Salad bar was very sparse and when our food came, every single meal had something missing from it...

We visited The Talbot yesterday for a birthday meal for my granddaughter. When we arrived our table was not quite ready, which wasn't a problem. However we waited about 20 mins to be seated. When we ordered one of the party wanted a 1983 combo...

Typical harvester and no surprises. Things missing from the menu. Food average What made the difference was our server Katie. Great interaction . Very friendly and nice humour. Well done Katie!

We had a lovely meal, the food was lovely as always. Our waitress was Katie and she done an amazing job! We will definitely be returning!

We went to this harvester for a family meal which included a 3 year old. I was so impressed with the service! Our waitress was Katie and she was so incredible in listening to my daughter, making her feel comfortable in ordering her own food...

My family and I went there last night and I’ve never ever had such a bad experience, had to wait nearly two hours for food when it came it was freezing, they completely got my 5 years olds daughter wrong, the fish was so oily...

I visited tonight with my family and can honestly say its one of the worst meals I've ever had. There was 5 of us and after waiting over an hour for our food, when it finally arrived all our food was stone cold and some...

Met my son for dinner yesterday, ordered 2 meals at 6.30, asked the waitress at 7.25 to find out where our meal was, she came back and said about 20 minutes away. The restaurant was not that busy last night, and to wait 75 minutes...
