Harvester Atherleigh

The place looks great. First time visiting after the refurbishment. Xsara was our server she was brilliant even when it was really busy. We had a peanut allergy and she went that extra mile to ensure that everything was perfect. Food was amazing and really quick considering how busy it was. Great job guys. Will definitely be back in the future.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast with my wife and daughter. The food was lovely, and the service was excellent. We were served by Beth. She was very warm and friendly, and also went that extra mile by interacting with our toddler, who can't wait for us to go back on a Saturday morning so we can see Beth again! A thoroughly enjoyable experience, definitely 5 stars.

Food is tasty but service was not good Shown to R table which was dirty and had food debri on the seats . Had to wait 45 minutes for the sweets to arrive after prompting twice. When the final bill came we had been charged nearly £30 more , they had put extra sweets on. However this was rectified but not much of an apology for the wait m bill mistake . We booked for 1pm m got out at 3.45pm....there was 3 adults

Food excellent only complaint one of our party found a hair in her food and they changed immediately. Service was our only problem it was slow our party sat down at 6.05 but nobody came to our table till 6.25 a party on next table sat down after us and got attended before us and got there meals a good 15 minutes before us I'm sorry just not good enough. PS 2 and half hours for a meal not acceptable

Food was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Just that one downside was - partially it was our fault - that the discount wasn't applied properly (although the code was scanned) and we noticed it only after we were back home and started comparing the price we paid and what we had... Never mind, we will visit again (and make sure the right price is billed and paid!).

The service was good regarding taking the order, and starters arrived without any issues. However, our main meal arrived 1.5 hours later after asking 4 times were was it, we had children with us who were very hungry otherwise we would have left, needless to say we won't be going back.

We attended over the weekend. It looked like it had recently been done up. The food was great and reasonably priced. We had 3 servers. I'm guessing 2 of them were trainees but all 3 were very friendly. You could see the trainees were nervous but their trainer did a great job with them.

This was our first visit after the recent refurbishment. We booked our table online and arrived early and was quickly shown to our table. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly and polite. They were training new staff and we've got to learn sometimes. The young lady processed our order but mistakenly put mine to come out with the starter's so they offered to keep it warm and/or make it from scratch but I just said keep it warm and bring it out with the others. They brought it out with the other mains but it was Lukewarm along with my wife's. My wife asked for them to remove tomatoes off of her dirty bird burger which they did and they also took it off mine even though I wanted it on mine! The lads meal was hot except they burnt the bacon charcoal black and he couldn't eat it like that so he was disappointed with it. The point of this is hopefully the quality control and communication with customers is improved upon for our next visit. :)

We arrived on time for our table and we was shown straight to our table. We was a table of 12, 6 adults and 6 children. On arrival we was informed it was table service and someone would be along shortly to take our order. Someone came to take our order about 20 past 5. Our drinks arrived 10 minutes later and we then waited for our order. A few in the party ordered starters, these arrived about 6:15pm. Once eaten the plates were cleared away and we continued to wait for meals. At 6:35pm we asked when our food would be arriving as the children where hungry and we were told there was another big table in front of us then ours would be plated. Our food was finally served at 6:55pm. This is an extremely long time to wait for food and we had young children with us. When the food arrived, one order was slightly wrong, another chicken meal was charcoal on one side, my daughter had a child's/junior meal and it came with about 6 chips on it, so I ended uo sharing some of mine with her. We didn't stay for dessert because it was now 7:30pm and the children had enough. The staff were lovely and had great customer service.

We’ve been going harvester for a few years now, really enjoy the food but the experience a few times has been poor. We visited the Leigh harvester yesterday, we had to ask the salad area to be refilled. It was basically empty, a few containers were brought out shortly after but it was far from full. A lot of the sauces and breads were near enough empty too. The food took a long time to arrive, we had to ask where it was. We enjoyed the food when it did come and the servers were pleasant enough. I don’t think we’ll be coming again as harvester seems to have gone down hill. We used to go the media city, Warrington and Leigh harvester so it’s a shame really. Not specific to the Leigh harvester but can the tip option be removed off the card machine? It makes paying the bill an awkward process especially when you’re being watched.

The service was shocking. Ages to take orders. No-one cleared our plates away. No milk with our coffees. Pudding order delivered was incorrect. My child had coleslaw in his ice cream. The Mediterranean vegetable tart was awful. Pastry overcooked and the vegetables tasted like they had come out of a frozen packet with a lot of rosemary then in to cover the taste. Shocking. Lots of the salad empty. No butter only marg. no labels on the sauces. Would definitely never go back. Half the restaurant closed with boxes of Christmas decorations. Tired decor. Had to sit on Seats with caution tape all over them.

Absolute rubbish service, had a rare opportunity to spend some time with one of my daughter's, she's 9, while my other daughter was at a party. Had to po k her up at 2, stepped in at 12;15, left at 1;30 only having a starter, some limp salad snd a drink, at this time we were still 3rd in lone dor our main! Their excuse was, we had a starter? Nachos and a garlic bread 🙄, needless to say we had to leave, they still expected me to pay! As if! Daughter's hungry and I'm running late! That and my time with mu daughter was ruined.... 1 hour 15vmins is ample time to be served, ridiculous service for mediocre food.

Meals took around an hour to arrive and when they did they were luke warm. Waitress went to get the kids menu for the dessert choice and that took forever. I actually think she forgot or just went off on her break! Don't waste your time or money on poor quality food and service. Might have been quicker to go to sainsburys then back home to cook it.

This particular harvester looked a little dated from the outside, inside however it was nice and clean. The waiting on staff were excellent explaining the choices on the menu and when I asked them questions if they didn't know the answers they would find out. I chose jacket potato with grilled chicken breast and veg It was from the lunchtime menu I also had a garlic bread starter and a cup of tea. The price was £13.99 from the lunchtime menu which was great value. The salad bar was well stocked and free with my meal which was lovely. The toilets were lovely and clean and the whole WC was spacious and smelt fresh. My overall feeling about this place screamed out "Don't judge a book by the cover" I would definitely go again when I'm in the area. Recommended!

Really clean, happy staff all the time, great beer and wine, plenty of choice. Clean, parking (careful on match days though at Leigh stadium, people fill the carpark). Brilliant pub, great for kids too.

First impressions of the front of pub from the outside were very shoddy and was in desperate need for TLC even just a lick of paint would improve the outside massively after entering the pub there was barely anyone in but was taken to a 8 seater table for myself and my wife and one of the seats had a massive rip down the seats which shows either the pub managent don't care or the company are not bothered either. We went for a nice meal in a nice pub but ended up leaving without purchasing anything.

Perfect for tea time before setting off home. Unfortunately the gift card with £20 credit expired.... does this mean harvester are taking people's money? Surely a purchased gift card would have no expiry as its the purchaser's money that bought it. In these times of tight budgets, a gift card of this nature is a luxury.

We didn't have to wait too long for our drink and food order to be taken and the food arrived quickly. The salad bar was fully stocked, the food we requested was all available and drinks were brought quickly. Food was really nice and we also ordered dessert. Would definitely recommend visiting.

A very pleasant evening ahead of the rugby. The set menu options were varied and enjoyable. And food came out in good time, although there was a slightly longer weight than I would’ve liked between starters, main course. Keeley was attentive and friendly and used my Blue Light Card to make sure I got the best discount on the meal

Come here quit often Withy my family when visiting. Love the unlimited salad option with all the condiments. However more recently they don’t have full selection and would like more variety. Great choice of food and menus spoilt for choice. Ordered from the festive menu but unfortunately the vegan option was not available which was really disappointing. Food was generally good. They were very accommodating giving us time to arrange ours as and take this family photograph. I ordered an expression martini which tasted awful and when I checked it was correct but a pre made one, definitely don’t recommend. They did replace it with an alternative. The other complaint I have was that it was freezing and half of us had to sit in our coats and took away from the experience. Would have been 4 star but this took it to 3 The profiterole dessert was absolutely delicious 😋

Harvester is always a go to if we are ever unsure what to get. From breakfast, dinner or tea they always have a great selection. The salad bar is always stocked full of great items. The bottomless soft drink station is always good and great for the kids even if they do mix all the different flavours together.

We were sat for slightly longer than we expected before our drinks order was taken due to it being a Monday and not overly busy but our waitress Elle or Ella sorry I can't remember 100% was incredible, she was attentive and had a great personality and had a giggle and was very accommodating when it came to our needs.

Nice place for lunch, very good deal with set menu (2 or 3 courses). We chose the set menu and there were enough options to choose from, also a few vegetarian dishes. A nice bonus was a free salad bar. Food was tasty and arrived quite quickly. Our waitress was very nice. I also really liked the decorations, felt very cosy and comfortable. Outside there's a big parking lot. I can recommend this place for a quick lunch at a good price.

It's been a while since I visited The Harvester as I was really put off the last time. I have to say that this time it was much improved... The food was delicious, the server was fabulous, (thank you Jess) and the environment was very pleasant. The toilets were very clean too, a transformation from my visits previously, when I had repeatedly complained about them not being clean. I will definitely be coming back, especially since there is a choice of vegan options on the menu and the salad bar was very good. 😋

Food was lovely 2 of the extra large mix grills, for big eaters very tasty but they struggled. Turf, surf and bird decent size portion but chicken was a bit too spicy for me. Salad bar was served to you but as always nice and fresh. Drinks 2 double gin and tonics and a pint of carling just over £18.00. Lovely meal, staff very helpful, but restaurant was cold. Would go back but taking a jacket next time.

It has been years since my wife & I last visited Harvester, but this time will be certainly be much much sooner to be back again. Like the title says expected nothing but came away very pleased, the service was excellent, very friendly and helpful staff, always smiling and very polite. The meal was very fresh and cooked excellently, and for the pricing very good. 3 course meal for £12 you can't fault that at all. We really couldn't fault anything. If Harvester could do anything to improve it would be maybe to redecorate the restaurant looks a little worn, but nevertheless the staff and meal was a lot more than expected and would fully recommend.

I came into the Harvester with my daughter & grandson on Thursday 3rd June 2021. The staff are fabulous but my 2 star rating is on account of one of the worst ever steaks I have ever had. It was gristly, I took it home for my dogs & they even had problems chewing it. Never again will I allow my daughter to waste nearly £14.00 on an inedible piece of meat.

Staff were friendly but service was slow, our plates from our starters were left on our table after our mains had been brought out, no check in to see if everything was OK or to see if we wanted anything else to drink etc. Great evening offer with 3 courses for around £16 which includes great options. I had nachos to start which were delicious, my partner had garlic mushrooms which he also enjoyed. For main I had BBQ chicken stack, this was OK, could have done with more sauce and the chicken to be slightly less charred. My partners steak was overcooked which meant it lost flavour and was quite dry. Brownie was bitter but the ice cream was nice. Partner enjoyed the blackcurrant mousse For the price you can't really grumble, I would return again but not in a rush.

Waited 20 minutes to get a drink after finding a server. Spent one hour before food arrived and the second course arrived whilst still eating the first course. The place as no heating it’s freezing and I felt sorry for the staff having to work in those conditions. Had to ask for cutlery,, salt etc . The bill we where overcharged by £20 , which was rectified. The food was fine. Not blaming the staff .. they where very understaffed working in unacceptable conditions. But will not be going again .
