Harvester Stanway in Colchester

Nice and quiet but expected with the time of year. A little disappointed that not all facilities were open as we really wanted to make similar memories as we had with our daughter. Grand daughter truly loved it though especially the elephant feed; an excellent birthday treat for the little 2 Yr old. Great day out and lovely weather to go with it. The zoo have done great especially after the pandemic. Well done and keep going. You do a marvelous job.

Convenient to where I live and wasn't too busy when we got there at 3pm. Food was lovely as always. Salad cart isn't as good as it used to be as variety has dropped and someone else has to get what you choose due to Covid, but it was still tasty and enough for a side dish. Waitress was lovely and will be back as been here many times

I visited Stanway harvester this evening with my family. On arrival I was seated by a friendly man. Our server then came over and took our drinks order and we received them almost straight after. I don’t know her name but she was very attentive. She was very knowledgeable when I had questions regarding the menu. Salad bar was clean and I much prefer it not being self serve especially under the current climate, it was a much more hygienic way compared to when we were able to help ourselves. Our visit throughout was lovely and we had a very enjoyable time. All of the staff were in high spirits and nothing was to much trouble.I know hospitality took a big hit during covid and I would just like to say thank you for such a nice evening. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be returning!!

Such a rarity these days to come out of a restaurant 100% happy. There's almost always something you wasn't happy with... you waited too long for your food or the bill, your table wasn't spotless, cutlery was covered in water marks, missing items. We left Stanway Harvester today having experienced the best service and best food we have EVER had. Host was genuinely happy to have us visit (even got a hello from one of the guys in the kitchen!), food was cooked perfectly and arrived super quick - we didn't wait or have an issue with a single thing. Prices are cheap and more than affordable for the amazing experience we've had today - great memories in a great restaurant. Thanks to the harvester Stanway team for a quality meal this evening!!!!°

Went here yesterday with the kids, haven't been there in years and will definitely be going more regular.Food was lovely, place was clean and the member of staff that served us (Laura) was probably one of the most helpful and welcoming people I have had the pleasure to meet in a long time.Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First time at this busy Harvester. Would advise to book! Served on time and ample delicious food (not very hot) staff helpful. Lovely Christmas menu

Disappointing meal. Chicken breast in breadcrumbs turned out to be reformed chicken goujons. Meal came out so quickly it must have been microwaved. Sticky table, dried food on drinks menu. Mindy was a delight though.

Those five stars go to the fantastic staff!! Honestly, wonderful accommodating hosts with a great sense of humour. The food is also very good and certainly value for money. I’ve yet to have a bad experience here. A group of friends and I often choose this as a venue to meet up after a long time of not seeing each other as it caters to all of our tastes and dietary requirements. Would highly recommend for an enjoyable evening.

We have been visiting this place for years and the quality of food has never changed. You get plenty to eat so you don't go away hungry and it's definitely good quality for your money. The staff are always welcoming and happy to help. Highly recommend

Came here yesterday with my family first time in ages since we have been here was lovely to see nothing had changed. The staff was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived and quickly got us a table we roughly knew what we was ordering as we had looked on the menu before hand but still looked to see some wonderful dishes. We orderd a mac and cheese for the little one with the Double Dirty Combo and two Pitmasters when the food arrived it looked so good was hot so you can tell it was fresh and hadn't been sitting around for ages was well worth the money and will definitely be coming back for more as we have been a fan of this place for many years and have never had any problems.
