The service (waitress) was good however the food wasn’t great. I had the mixed grill and the rump steak was as tough as an old boot, completely inedible. the sausage was over cooked and dry as was the gammon. The chicken however was actually nice.

What is going on? Salad bar empty, sauces empty, no bread rolls, salad cart stinking, ordered jalapeño poppers… came back and said not in stock! Ordered chicken wings, not in stock!! It’s filthy over here! You need more experienced staff as all the staff are all young!! Terrible experience and won’t come back! Shame as we live close! Will take our business next door to Franky and Bennys!!

Visited harvester yesterday. Waitress was extremely busy given way to much work load for one person. Didn’t seem to get any help from other staff. The other waitress was in the kitchen and looked to be just chatting to the kitchen staff while Lyndsey our server was running around the restaurant. She made our time there a great experience but was very much alone. The manager was rude and no where to be seen most of the time we was there. We could hear other guests saying how lyndsey seemed to be alone. But no one blamed her for this. If anything felt for her.Food was ok but the work load was way to much for one person.We tipped Lyndsey well as she deserved it the amount she had to do by herself.

Cutlery dirty, not just once but 3 times. Looked like it had been dipped in water but not actually washed.The spoons we had for our desserts were disgusting, I went looking for a member of staff & asked could we have clean please as there were dirty. We were given fresh spoons but they were also dirty & felt grubby. There were silver jugs on the counter by the kitchen so I went to grab more but every spoon I took out was dirty. I found the manager and explained to him that this was the 3rd set of dirty cutlery we had been given, he apologised and went to get us more. He returned with fresh clean cutlery.

Visited tonight(Christmas eve) table was booked for 4 people at 8pm.The restaurant was very quiet , were shown to our table promptly, but were made to feel rushed to eat our food and leave.My wife was brought the wrong dessert twice, the second time she decided just to eat it so not to make a fuss.

Wayne is the best Santa, we come every year he is amazing with the children, cannot recommend breakfast with Santa enough!
Came in, lady took our order quickly enough and drinks were bought out really quickly.The service was substandard after that, had ordered the same as the table next to us but before them and they received theirs first, had to find a server to ask where food was half hour later because we had somewhere to be. Even after telling them we had 15 minutes to be somewhere, service was slow and we ended up being late, and unable to finish some of the breakfast. Massive shame because the food was lovely.

Only giving 1 star because I can t give a zero and wanted to leave a review. Went to Harvester Merthyr Tydfil last night . Was shown our table and both my husband and I skidded on the floor before we even got to our table. The waitress came and was polite and welcoming. Asked if I could have the salmon without mashed potatoes and was told no because it would cost me £15 for salmon I explained why I wanted that and was told no . Felt like I was stupid for asking it, so chose the pasta and hubby had rotisserie chicken. The salad bar had very little in it and what was left looked as if it had been there for awhile .45 minutes later the food came both meals were stone cold, the chicken had a dollop of cold congealed sauce and mashed potato which had a crusty skin forming on it . Complained and was told they d put it through as a rush order, the servers/kitchen staff must have known these weren’t right just by looking at them and feeling the plates. By that time we both decided we d had enough, paid for our drinks and left . Would never recommend to anyone which is a pity .

I have been to Harvester many times over the year, but when I went on Friday it was absolutely terrible. The food was sat on the counter for over 10 min which made it cold when they served it. They had to replace all the chips as they were that cold. The mixed grill didn't come with the onion rings or mushrooms plus the egg was asked to be done hard but still came out running. The Christmas dinner came but they forgot to bring any gravy or cranberry sauce until we asked and the chicken grill came but had lots of blue marking/blobs with in the white meat of the chicken which was very off putting. The manager had to offer a £50 discount to the food due to how bad it was. Will never recommend anyone to Harvester.

Wouldn’t usually complain especially as I work in the same industry but came tonight around 8.30pm not happy at all. never felt so rushed in eating my food before we finished our starters the mains were out. While I was still eating my mains I got asked if I was finished while I was grabbing a chip from my plate. Had the steak which asked for medium/ rare it was cooked basically rare. Rushed job again Didn’t enjoy it at all. Salad bar was absolutely disgusting dirty no choice really as one side was taken. Our server was very polite by all means just felt like we was rushed massively. the manager on shift was so lovely really did do his best he was genuinely so happy to help where he could. He’s a credit to the place! I am someone who doesn’t get the luxury of going out often so was absolutely disappointed tonight. We all feel like we want to go home at the end of a busy shift and that one showed tonight.

We were there on a busy Saturday. Service was average but we had a few issues with missing side dishes not arriving, some food only lukewarm, chicken quarter was the size of a chicken wing. The manager gave us a discount on our bill and all staff were polite. Doubt we'd go back.
