    We went for breakfast and chose the all you can eat build your own. I was told the chef was Ella and quite frankly the breakfast fantastic. I’d say it’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve had this year (and that’s saying something 🤣) The waitress was Chrissy. What a lovely lady. She made us feel welcome, nothing seemed to difficult for her. She was friendly, chatty and even refilled my coffee when I asked where I got a refill from. It was a really good experience for us and we’d happily go back if we were in the area! You need more like them Harvester but let them have Christmas off this year. They deserve it 😊

    Waitress Priscilla was professional yet friendly. nothing was too much trouble. I had to take an important phone call as my food was served, Priscilla took it back to the kitchen to keep warm. On my return, she told me that if it was not warm enough, they would cook fresh. Fantastic customer service. 👏 just to add, I did not ask for fresh food, I ate what I needed. Beautiful Fish and Chips.

    As harvesters go, this is a good one. The building is lovely with fires to sit around and the food was cooked well and hot. Salad bar well stocked and maintained. Everyone in our party all enjoyed their food and I would come here again.

    Great place for breakfast! Fast friendly service from a lovely, kind waitress Priscilla and another young girl... wish I had more change to tip her, everything is via card these days. Food was delicious. I had Veggie breakfast including the most perfect poached eggs I've ever tasted 😋, thanks Chef! My niece had the Waffle breakfast and veggie sausages instead of bacon and regular sausages.....very accommodating of Harvester...and much appreciated. She couldnt finish it but highly recommends the meal as very tasty and I have my eye on it for next time we eat there. The tables were cleaned quickly by efficient staff but a large number of children eating that day meant the floor area seemed messy which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

    We visited this week to have breakfast with Santa, the staff were very accommodating and the speed of service was excellent. Breakfast was very tasty and the kids enjoyed their activity packs provided. Santa was excellent, he engaged well and took time with each of them. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience, will definitely book again for next year! 🎄❤️🎅

    It was a quiet Monday evening when we went for dinner, which was perfect. It is a very short drive just off M1 junction 9 so very convenient if you're on the motorway and want some proper food... much better than normal service station fast food. Service was friendly, helpful & quick.

    Had a very pleasant breakfast here on Sunday. Staff weren't too busy and food was delivered speedily. One of our party had the pancake option with bacon/maple syrup and thoroughly enjoyed it; there was one veggie breakfast which was also enjoyed; and two standard full English breakfasts (there is a premium version that has three of everything!). The English breakfasts were fine although the fried eggs were overdone - there was very little runny yolk. All in all a good experience.

    Nice place to have a decent & fresh meal, close to the airport. I recommend the fresh salads and the patatas bravas dirty fries. I don’t recommend the alcoholic beverages, you can’t feel any taste, because it’s too much ice and the amount of spirits and other ingredients is not enough.

    Just had a great meal here, me and my family were only going to stop here for a quick snack then carry on but ended up staying for a few more drinks and another round of snacks because everyone was just so nice! Definitely making this place a regular stop for me and the family

    Stopped here unexpectedly needing to use the fast charger before a long journey home to Southampton. After an hours wait for the charger to be free I decided I may aswell have dinner whilst here. The staff were all amazing. The waitress was so attentive and the gentleman that greeted me had a nice chat. First time eating dinner out alone which was a daunting thought but actually a truly lovely evening.

    Met up with 5 friends . Sam was our waitress lovely smile and warn welcome. Had the fish and chips as well as their usual superb salad. So fresh and tasty lovely atmosphere seemed that nothing was too much trouble.

    Just been here for dinner. Staff amazing,I was told at the door what we could and couldn’t have as some meals were unavailable , so we immediately knew what we were walking into, she was polite and friendly, and our waitress explained exactly what we could have. Very professional service on an extremely busy Friday night. Didn’t get our waitresses name, but long hair, tied back, very friendly and efficient.

    First time at Flamstead Harvester, really enjoyed, food was cooked really well and salad bar was better then some sites I have seen recently. Was very welcoming atmosphere and Kelly was the one who served us and made the time here very enjoyable! And thank you to the rest of the Flamstead team.

    Unfortunately the standard of the meals are not what they were, maybe it was because they were busy. But that shouldn't be an excuse. The staff were excellent, very pleasant and helpful. The chairs were in need of repairs. Overall a reasonable chain restaurant.

    Missed lunch as on a training course, away from home for the night, starving, had the chicken bbq stack and jammie dodger sundae dessert. Staff were friendly, i got here at 5.30pm and couldn't get a seat in the restaurant as it was very busy, so sat in the bar. A popular place, be advised to book in advance. Food was good, would recommend.

    I had the chicken n ribs combo it was amazing this is my go to food when working. Away and it was the best one I've had and. Calum who looked after us was very nice and Polite and friendly would recommend this place

    Was a lovely day and decided to sit outside. Ordered from the table which was convenient. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered steak and chips for my wife and I. Our children had the Chicken kids meals. The steaks were very average for the price paid. Will probably not order that again as I feel some of your other meals are better value.

    Really lovely dinner, food was great... Very tasty and good service and served quickly even though it was very busy. Chicken was cooked so well.

  • 3/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the salad buffet more than the chicken combo. Found the quality not as good as it used to be, found one Bland, one over salty, and one just right, chips were OK with gravy but not feeling it today other than that staff were amazing, it came to £14.99 for the chicken combo.

    Not bad, were told that they were closing early due to short staffing which affected the service slightly. Not their fault but unfortunate. Food was decent and the restaurant was clean. I didn't see the washrooms. Very conveniently placed off the highway.

  • 4/5 Barbara (. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress was nice who served us. Burgers were good, the chips were chunky and freshly cooked. Usual salad bar, but you can't help yourself. What let this place down was the toilet. Shabby, dome toilets would flush and the one hand drier was broken. Fully accessible and child friendly.
