I have already filed a complaint using the email address at the bottom of our receipt but I’ve heard nothing back. We were shown to our table but as it was pushed up tight against the wall we moved it out a few inches so we could eat without banging our elbows. Doing this revealed a disgustingly filthy wall and skirting boards! How an eating establishment could let the eating area get this dirty is beyond me…. Anyway, we ordered our food and then waited half an hour for it to arrive. My guest had the 1983 chicken combo and I had a chicken skewer. My guest found her chicken to be undercooked and very pink in the middle and my skewer and chips were cold! When we mentioned to staff about the pink chicken they were quick to reassure us that it was normal to be pink inside!! We were so taken aback by the complete denials that we totally forgot to mention my meal was cold!! (There was a couple behind us who sent their food back because it was cold, so I know it wasn’t just me!) We then ordered a dessert and my guest asked for 2 forks so I could have a taste. When it arrived our server presented us with 2 spoons saying they had run out of forks. Have you ever tried eating a waffle with just a spoon? It’s not easy!! There were no beers on tap, only lager or craft beer so even our drinks were not what we wanted. Overall, a horrendous visit and one we will not be repeating any time soon! I have pictures of the wall and skirting boards if you’d like to see them but unfortunately the lighting prevented us from being able to take a decent picture of the chicken where you could see the pink.

I decided with my family, to try a different branch of Harvester. It is easy to find - right next to the Train Station - and had a large carpark. This was the very first time I had been here, & I found this Harvester really well appointed & incredibly spacious. Upon arrival though, you'll need to enter your vehicle registration details, as the carpark is ANPR controlled. Effectively this stops people who are using the train station, parking here for free. The service was first rate & the waitress was absolutely superb & humourous too! The food (4x unlimited breakfasts @ £7.99) was cooked to order & was delicious. We'll definitely be returning to this Harvester soon.

The warm welcome by the enthusiastic young man was great (I can’t remember his name) the food was also really good. The only downside was the waitress who served us. We enquired about what Lager was available (we aren’t from the UK so were unaware about what you have on tap) and she reeled off a few including Guinness! We asked about the bitters and were told that there wasn’t any and there also wasn’t any merlot. We did have another waitress come round asking if we’d finished with our wine glasses, not to offer us more drinks, just because they had run out of wine glasses!
