Asian Male waiter was extremely rude, disrespectful and unprofessional. All other staff were helpful and polite.

Went there for Birthday Eve meal. Used to be regular visitors, but the service has really gone down. The waitress, forgot to bring us our salad bowls, so we had to go and find her in the end. But the place wasn't busy, so not sure why she kept disappearing? The chefs, got the orders on our food mixed up, the portions were tiny, they salad bar had about 8 items, we had to constantly ask for stuff they hadn't bought up, so we never actually got all our meals at once! A shambles really and at £165 for six, I expected at least a nice meal and service. Done with Harvester I think in future.

Awful customer service. Stood & waited ages for someone to come to the front desk & seat us. She didn’t even apologise just strolled over & said ‘alllriiiight’. Our waiter could hardly speak English & food was terrible & not as described on the menu at all. Wouldn’t return.

Visited at around 8pm. It was quiet & we got served promptly by a good waitress. As we were finishing up our meal we needed takeaway boxes for the food & salad we couldn't finish. We were adamantly refused a box for the salad as this could not be a takeaway. The waitress who served us asked a senior waitress, who rudely said that she has told us on several occasions that salad cannot be a takeaway. On many occasions I have seen other tables take their salad as takeaway & no one has objected. But this senior waitress seems be biased against us. Plus the salad bar was totally empty at 9pm when the restaurant does not close until 10pm. When asked if it will be be refilled we were totally refused. So where does one have a refill of the salad when needed!!! They need to improve the attitude of their staff & stop telling customers that they close the restaurant at 9pm when it actually is 10pm. Other Harvesters have decent & more professional staff.

Came here for my birthday yesterday and Jesse was absolutely amazing. You could see she was busy but always managed to have a smile on your face every time she came over to the table! Food was perfect as always!

Valve for money. Good food & drinks menu options. Convenient location. Not enough staff available at peak time.

We stayed at the Travel lodge next door and ate here twice , evening meal and breakfast for 4 x adults on a plus point it was warm and cosy and service fairly quick , evening meal was ok the loaded chips were very poor drizzled in orange processed cheese nothing like the description chicken undercooked didn’t like being asked on payment by the waiter would we please leave a tip we were going to and it clearly gives you an option on the card machine but he asked us and then punched the amount in himself to make sure we gave him one I felt this rude and unnecessary. Breakfast was poor lady who served us was lovely but food was dry and tasteless sausage tasted and looked like it had been left in a BBQ overnight overpriced for dry and bland food

We visited today. Food was lovely. However we were shocked to see the bad language written on the walls of the ladies toilets. I had my 4 year old and 12 year old with me. Not very family friendly.

This visit was our annual Christmas/ New Year family get together, I have four adult children, each with a spouse and between them six children. The Beehive accommodated the fifteen of us comfortably. Booking was easy and upon arrival we found friendly and welcoming staff who even got the tv up and running for the early arrivals. My children and their families came from different parts of London, Essex and Norfolk so took a while to assemble but this didn’t phase Chardonnay, our server, who kept the drinks flowing. We had a great time, the food was good, the venue was fine and the service magnificent, we will be back en masse. Thank you.

It was a great time breakfast with Santa. Santa is doing great jobs. Kids were enjoyed. Breakfast was great. Food quality and service was excellent to the top notch. We booked again for Boxing Day after enjoying breakfast at beehive.

Food is okay, breakfast was what we had, sausages were quite burnt, but seeing as this place does grill it is somewhat different from other cafes although not to my taste. And no tea with break fast....separate charge, a minus in my books. Tried once won't be returning.

Went to Harvester for lunch and ordered their new Ultimate Combo - which was worth every penny. Staff were very friendly and accommodating especially Foyzul. Would definitely come back!

Veggie breakfast is good and have lots of variations on breakfast menu, which are good and value for money. Worth to have breakfast at beehive today

vegan dishes are really awesome and vegan beer/gluten free beer which is really good. I was surprised when we got meat free menu, never seen at harvester doing meat free menu. love to go there now.

This was an excellent pick for a nice meal well cooked and very reasonably priced. Loved the salad bar and the comfortable surroundings and good service. Next to the Travel lodge and a couple of blocks from the Central line tube.
