Harvester - West Berkshire

Not just about the Harvester but the service station as a whole, what a poor place to visit, the toilets looked like some had cleaned their football boots in them all, the place was disorganised, only good for 2 hours free parking to then pick family up from East Midlands.

On a Friday night, the staff at the restaurant was overwhelmed with just one member. The salad bar was completely empty, and the food took a long time to come out. When it did arrive, everything was overcooked, from the chips to the chicken to the sweetcorn. The restaurant was also in need of a good cleaning.

Stayed at travel lodge East Midlands for one night (which was lovely) the only mistake we made was to have a meal at the Harvester which is adjoined to the hotel I ordered scampi chips it was rock hard when cutting into it the piece of scampi was about as big as my finger nail my husband had fish chips that was nearly all batter hardly any fish at all we just left most of it. I suppose it was my fault really we should have complained needless to say we won’t be going back

It is so nice to find a service station in UK serving freshly cooked hot meals. Normally the choice is a burger or fish and chips if you're lucky. So I was pleasantly surprised to be able to order a decent meal with free unlimited salad at the Harvester restaurant here. The service was friendly, tables clean good choice of hotfood. Usually if I'm on the motorway in UK and want a quick dinner the choice is only junk food unlike some of the excellent services in Europe. So well done Harvester!

Disappointed. Went out for a meal at 7pm. No rotisserie available so the menu was greatly reduced. We then went to the salad bar which was almost empty apart from tomatoes cucumber and onion.No bread available at all. Normally we have had a good experience at this venue.
