Harvester Cardinal Park - Ipswich

The presentation of eating was nice, although could 've done with a tad warmer. tried ok, but felt overpriced against competitors. that said the engraving was delicious! a somewhat disappointing experience overall. the world-famous salate was really not on the hype. I guess the waste is a problem, but the selection in the offer was best bad. it was incredibly sad to see the few remaining olives sitting next to a dry gurken. we didn't stay long since the atmosphere was a little quiet, but most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. it's worth visiting them.

Took a family of 5. Plenty of food, free salad bar, etc. Very pleasant and helpful waitress called Kirsty. Food itself was average at best. Wouldn't say I enjoyed it. Kids did however. Served quickly. Was it value for money? Probably not. For the money charged the food should be less industrial and have more love in its creation. So it's a just ok but not great.

Love the food, table service can sometimes be a little slow. Their breakfast menu is immense however I spent the majority of my time waiting in the queue for the single toaster for the customers. They do some great burgers and chips also. Parking can sometimes be an issue.

We have ate at this harvester before and the food was lovely. But today's experience was different. My young son ordered the steak from the kids menu, and he wanted it well cooked. But it came out with blood still in it. So we sent it back for a new one, but that was to hard for him to chew. Me and my husband had ribs but there was hardly any meat on them and they got cold very quickly. Its quite expensive for ribs at £15.00 or so and you don't get a lot for what your paying for. It seems a shame because we used to eat at other harvester restaurants with our family's in the past and the food was always good. It seems to be more about the money then the quality of the food. The roles that were out were rock hard and you could not even cut them to put butter on them. There wasn't a lot of salad to choose from and most of the cucumber was turning white because it had been out to long. Sorry but we won't be returning.

Food was below average. Was not busy when first thing in morning however eggs were overcooked and by the time they were replaced, we had finished our food. Baked beans must be sugar free as they were tasteless. With the continental bar, all the products are of the cheapest quality so again, tasteless. Decor is okay but seats and tables tend to be sticky here. Also this restaurant is not selling the pancakes anymore which is a shame as it was the tastiest breakafast item so I don't think I will be going back. I have to say though the waitress was really nice.
