The Harvester in Brentwood

Not good. Misinformation regarding ordering. The menu is NOT the same when ordering from the bar. Staff confrontational when questioned. Unhelpful and unable to explain correctly. Only recompense offered was a free drink when refillable drinks already paid for.

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.

Would like to personally thank our waiter Sam for his amazing service tonight, very friendly and welcoming! Also lovely food. Altogether a very pleasant experience!

Pleasantly surprised with this Harvester as I've had a really negative experience one at another one butThis place was Clean, great service, cheerful and helpful staff. Breakfast was tasty defo recommendThanks to Andrea today who was brilliant. Overall enjoyed my visit today 👍

Absolutely awful only decent part of the food was the salad from the salad bar.Frozen soggy veg ,really dry frozen potatoes, turkey was okay burnt Yorkshire sent this back. over priced poor quality in fact had better food at burger King and that's saying something don't waste your money certainly won't be going again

Lovely staff, lovely clean space, I had breakfast, limited options, but food was okay, nothing to rave about, staff told me that the eggs were prepared elsewhere, which put me right off. They only had machine coffee and hot chocolate which has cows milk, I only drink milk alternatives, so couldn't have either. Nice staff offered a mug of tea with soya milk, which was appreciated, I went with an orange juice, but wished I'd had the tea, as orange juice was clearly concentrated.

We had a birthday get together and had book the upstairs room.Brilliant size for about 40 people with a warm cosy feel about it.We had arranged a buffet from their menu and we were not disappointed.Top mark to the female member of staff who was friendly and very helpful.Everyone enjoyed themselves.Thank you to all the friendly staff.

My waitress sue was amazing very polite and such a refreshing attitude. I didn't really enjoy the food . My fish was a bit too oily for my liking .

The place is great, plenty of free parking, service was excellent. They have a salad bar with so much to choose from... and you can refill as you wish 😊. I had the Ultimate Mixed Grill (see photo) and wasn't able to eat it all... We also had starters... For a family of four, two adults, two kids - all for less than £75!! Hard to beat, right?

Had three roast chicken meals but the chicken was either grilled or not prepared well. The two steak meals were thoroughly enjoyed, however in ordering a certain sauce from the menu, the waitress wasnt able to order the one requested, so I think the paper menu and system menu need checking. The deserts were great but maybe a visual showing them would be beneficial. The drinks were just as ordered. The salad bar held a great selection including the rolls. Free parking for Harvester visitors just make sure you input your reg.
