Lovely country house feel with a huge fireplace and exposed beams, the food is good as usual. I did enjoy the Dirty Bird Burger, was a little spicy and had lots of melted cheese - definitely dirty but delicious

Had a really nice meal hear, very friendly staff, did not wait long for the food to arrive and yes the salad bar was self serve, that pleased the Mrs and kids, it wasn't that busy on this visitI had a meal hear a few years back and it was very busy then, I guess I just got lucky on the quiet day.Would definitely go back.

Wow! We came here for breakfast this morning and for a place with only 2 people on the floor (Wendy and Joely) our service was fantastic. We had such a lovely breakfast. Both staff was absolutely lovely and so polite. I couldn’t wish for a better service.

Rubbish. The salad bar was half empty. They run out of lettuce and I was told a 15 min wait for it to be topped up.Our starters was over cooked. I think they had been standing under the hot light for ages.My partners meal had to be sent back as the chicken was so over cooked it could not be eaten. We ended up not eating togetherWe shared a side dish that was over cooked. By the time my partners meal was ready the side was stone cold.I asked for a drink and never received itNever again

I opted for the main course salad bar, as I love this so much. My 2nd visit to The golden fleece this week. Both times I was served my salad by the same friendly helpful server (sorry don't remember her name). She was so friendly & helpful with my vegan requirements. She cared about my meal & presented it so lovely.I have to say, that I know many would rather serve themselves the salad bar. But I disagree. I prefer someone else serving as the eliminates cross contamination made by other customers.I've had good and bad experiences from other Harvesters, but not this one. I've always received great, friendly service & great food.Well done to all your staff at this restaurant.I should add that others in my party order from the menu & receive the same great quality

Brilliant customer service and food today, staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food couldn’t have been better, Steak was cooked perfectly and our Childs food was left to cool down before serving. Tracy and Wendy and the rest of the team were great.

My chicken stack was lovely. But my wife had the salmon & wasn't impressed.Vegetables were too hard not cooked enough, salmon was too dry.Our waitress sue was very good.

Tracy G needs a pay rise! Our waitress Tracy was fab went above and beyond for our work meal today, she was so attentive, made sure everything was correct, she couldn’t have been more helpful and made the experience fun! She made us all feel so welcome. She deserves to be recognised for her amazing customer service

Booked this restaurant last minute as we were visiting old Mc Donald’s farm. We arrived earlier then expected and Nancy was able to accommodate this which was great. Andrea served us and she was very nice and helpful. The food was nice and served very promptly. Very impressed with this Harvester as we had a bad experience of one years ago.

Spotted this restaurant as we were driving past during school holidays looking for somewhere for lunch after visiting the local ski centre. Turned out to be a great choice! Staff were brilliant. Everyone was so friendly & helpful & our server (who’s name I sadly didn’t catch) was particularly great, especially with the kids. He’s a real asset to this restaurant. Food was lovely & very reasonably priced. Two main meals, two kids meals (inc desserts) & drinks was £50. Staff serve you at the salad bar & it was fresh & tasty. Kids desserts were particularly impressive & incredible value! Restaurant itself is smart & clean with plenty of parking. You have to register your number plate at the bar when you arrive to avoid a fine. Would absolutely recommend this place & wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again if we were in the area.

Having visited many local restaurants across the UK, it surprises me that it was this Harvester, a chain restaurant, that felt the most welcoming and friendly of them all. The staff are just magnificent, and very friendly, and the food is top quality! I'm pleased to say that this particular restaurant ranks high on my list of favourite places, and they've got me as a repeat customer for years to come.In addition, they sell the only good BBQ sauce I've had in this country, as well as a Spiked Maple sauce which is just incredible in the kitchen. I don't know what I'll do if they ever stop selling it.
