The Elms Harvester in Coventry

We had a nice family meal here on a Saturday, 30/04/2022. The food and service were excellent. Really fast turn around. They're still currently serving salad to you rather than a free for all on the salad, but the staff are really good here. Our main waitress was Chelsie, I don't normally leave reviews, but shes so good I had to! Great energy, professional, friendly, did everything right.Only lost a star because the lights were out around the table, but in fairness, they fit us in at a 6pm dinner on a Saturday, so that might be unfair.They're still serving the salad rather than the old free for all around the buffet, which might be a plus for some.They used to do a bourbon sauce that tasted chemically, but whatever they've got now is really good on pretty much everything. We'll be back.

We went for breakfast. We both had the build your own unlimited breakfast. It took a while to arrive but was worth the wait as it was all freshly cooked. We were looked after by a lovely waitress called Alexa, who couldn’t do enough for us and made our visit a pleasurable experience. We will definitely go again.

Came here for a birthday party. We are a loud obnoxious family of hundreds🤔🤔 Our waitress for the whole evening was Chelsie and she was fantastic. Wasn’t fazed by our loud raucous behaviour and the wild antics of the thousands of children we brought. Chelsie just got on with the job and with a smile on her face and, what seemed, very genuine manner. Fantastic customer service skills and a job very well done. Thank you so much Chelsie. We all enjoyed the night and all passed comment on how well you served us. The food was really good too👍🏻

The customer service provided by Chessie was absolutely amazing. She was so polite and would always come to check if our food was OK and if we needed anything else. Nothing was too much effort for her and she was always on hand to help with anything and everything. Great member of staff.

Came last night to celebrate families birthday and retirement. Magda who was our waitress was amazing, she was very attentive, friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and fresh and portions were just right.As someone who works for a rival company I'm always more critical but honestly I could not fault Magda, my daughters burger came out without the cheese on and she came straight back with the cheese so she could just pop it on themselves. Would definitely recommend 👌

Lovely food (too much of it lol) but absolutely outstanding service, can't remember last time we laughed this much, THANK YOU SO MUCH Chelsie for taking care of us tonight, we'll definitely be back. Chelsie is better than Dave!!! x 3!

Loved the food. Had a very nice and friendly host assigned to our table. And a bit of fun for kids was thrown in...check out my son's art piece below... Nice place, I definitely recommend

Lovely quiet place for breakfast. Building has great character both inside and out, just felt a little cold at times. Nice friendly staff. Food was good and came out on time.

Really disappointed. Went fir Sunday lunch.Booked for 3.45 avoiding busy period as we had our two small grandchildren with us. On booking ask for 2 high chairs. We arrived early and sat outside for a drink. We informed them we were there. Yet when we went in we were guided to the very back of the restaurant, lots of steps, which was difficult with two little one. High chairs were not at the table, had too wait while they went to get them. They took our order some time later. and advised how to use the salad bar. Which again with two little one was difficult, as we had to go in two separate goes, so the little ones were not left alone. I asked for mayo for the little ones salad and was told it was at the end of the counter, so seeing a white tub shaped bottle with pump, unmarked, went to put it on salad when I realised it was sanitiser, how dangerous.We got back to table, no cutlery, but no one yo ask close by, so hubby went on the hunt for knives and forks, by which time little were ever to start and not happy to wait. I mentioned cutlery to waiter who just said oh yes I forgot. Still no cutlery appeared. Hubby ask a waitress who was putting it on other tables, he response was I will have to see if we have any spare ??? What were we ment to eat with! So hubby took it off another table, and surprisingly neither the waitress or waiter brought any to the table. Food arrived and was poor to say the least. Kid meals were rubbish, and cold. The £15 surf and turf skewer was 3 pieced of tough beef and 3 over cooked prawns, very greasy with a pieces of flat bread, the side of coleslaw was 1 teaspoonful in a pot, and the peri peri sauce was about a tablespoon, I asked for sweet potato fries and got chips. The burger with blue cheese was full of drinking grease and over powering nasty tasting blue cheese. We had been finished for over 15 mins when they came to clear table and ask about deserts, which took another 15 mins to come, so by this time kids were totally fed up and to be honest so we're we. Deserts where the highlight of the meal. But you can't go wrong with ice cream and pre made cakes ? Frankly the whole experience was unpleasant and we won't be going again. Harvester if this is post pandemic service your not really encouraging people back to the restaurant.

What a beautiful building they are in.Very nice setting. Service was great, food arrived in good time and was hot and tastySalad bar is open but this time (July, 2021) is assisted as per covid regulations.Special mention to our waiter Lee who is amazing and was so friendly and chatty and we had a great conversation. He made our day
