Alma Park Harvester reviews

Culinary-wise, the restaurant offers hearty, uncomplicated dishes with an emphasis on grilled items. The "Mixed Grill" is a highlight—a generous combination of rump steak, chicken, gammon, sausage, and sides like chips, peas, and onion rings that delights meat lovers. Equally popular is the "Rotisserie Chicken," a juicy, slowly roasted chicken that can be served with a variety of sauces such as BBQ or Hot Honey. For fish fans, there's the "Hand-Battered Haddock," a crispy cod served with chips and tartar sauce, honoring the British fish-and-chips tradition. Each main dish comes with unlimited access to the salad bar, featuring fresh ingredients like crunchy lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. For dessert, the "Chocolate Fudge Cake" tempts with its rich chocolate warmth, making it the perfect finish.

Spacious restaurant with salad bar

The drinks menu is diverse and complements the dishes well. In addition to a selection of draft beers and ales served perfectly tapped, there are also several cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. The "Harvester Cocktail," a fruity creation that combines lightness with a touch of fun, is particularly popular. Coffee and tea lovers will also find satisfaction, as the restaurant also serves breakfast—such as the classic "Full English Breakfast," which comes with sausages, eggs, and toast, starting the day the British way.

The food I had myself wasn't great the vegan cheese was a surprise, but the when I told Frankie about it she apologised and said for future orders to request normal Cheese, amazing lady respectful happy with the service, the food would have 5 stars without the vegan cheese

We both ordered the Simply Chicken to stay loyal to our new diet, because, you know, summer bodies are made in March. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! The rice? So good I considered proposing to it. The chicken? Better than Nando’s, yes, I said it. Nando’s who?! Honestly, if that chicken had a LinkedIn profile, I’d endorse it for ‘Outstanding Flavour’ and ‘Life-Changing Juiciness.’ Big shoutout to the chef, may your spatula always be mighty. We visited on the 6th of March, a day so sunny we felt like we were dining on the surface of the sun… but hey, at least the chicken didn’t need extra grilling!

Not a great first visit. Yet another Harvester that runs out of their signature rotisserie chicken 30 mins into lunch service. So make sure to ask if you visit for that like we do. If we’d have been served in order we’d have gotten it though so annoyed by that. The food we did end up with was nicely cooked and we enjoyed it. When they know it’s going to be busy due to voucher offers there is no excuse to not only run out of chicken but to then say it’s going to be over an hour before anymore is ready. At 45 mins after saying that he told another table it was still 30 mins before anymore would be ready.

Valentines night... ok, busy, service was slow. At one point, I was going to collect our starters from the hot plate. People who ordered after us getting their food before us. None of the staff were running about like their hair was on fire... so they obviously felt they had a grip on it. Valentines happen every year at the same time, so there was no excuse for not being ready. Maybe the area manager could have rocked up and helped out.. maybe he did. The food was tasty, and the organisation of the resteraunt let them down.

Food was lovely however the service was awful. The first server we had was brilliant but then the young manager came on and moved the servers around. The manager on shift looked like she didn't want to be their and everything was to much trouble. We waited over 45 minutes for our plates to get moved and she's walked past quite often and saw the empty plates. I then asked her for my sons pudding that we had already ordered and she didn't sort it out. We waited 20 mins for this before asking a server that wasn't working on our table who went and got it. Manager working on Sunday 23rd at 3.00 needs a big shake up on her management skills !!!

Came here on a Saturday evening. Wasn't too sure about eating here as I'm very fussy with food. Chloe was really welcoming, made me feel at ease about eating here and helped me pick something I like from the menu. Glad we did go here, had a good evening and food was fairly good.
