British family restaurant in Walsall

The "Harvester George Stephenson" in Walsall is a classic British family restaurant that belongs to the well-known Harvester chain, distinguished by its warm atmosphere and traditional cuisine. It is located in an area shaped by the industrial history of the region and its proximity to Birmingham, offering an inviting retreat for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant combines modern comfort with the cozy charm of a pub and is particularly known for its generous portions and the famous unlimited salad bar, a hallmark of the chain.

Unlimited salad bar restaurant Walsall

At the heart of the culinary offerings is the rotisserie cuisine, where chicken is slow-cooked over an open flame to achieve an intense flavor and tender texture. A highlight is the "Signature Rotisserie Chicken," served with a selection of homemade sauces like spicy Hot Honey or smoky BBQ sauce. Grilled dishes are also popular, such as the "Mega Ribs" – a lavish portion of ribs with a sticky glaze that delights meat lovers. The unlimited salad bar features fresh ingredients like crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade dressings that perfectly complement any main course. For breakfast fans, there is the "Ultimate Harvester Breakfast," a hearty combination of sausages, bacon, eggs cooked to choice, and crispy hash browns to kickstart the day.

The restaurant places importance on variety and also offers vegetarian and vegan options. The "Beyond Burger," a plant-based burger with melted cheese and BBQ sauce, is a tasty alternative for guests wishing to forgo meat. Desserts like the "Banoffee Delight Waffle," a light treat with bananas and caramel, or the "Glazed Choux Bun" with its creamy filling provide a sweet conclusion often described as the highlight of the meal. The kitchen uses fresh ingredients and adjusts the menu seasonally to ensure variety.

Probably the worse experience we've ever had in a harvester. Turned up to be told there was no chicken available, fine these things happen. Waited nearly 20 minutes for our food order to be taken, and that was only taken when a waitress was called over. Salad bar was almost completely empty with all the food mixed up together. Food came, my friend who had a skewer was given the tops of the peppers. My loaded fries were fries with cheese sauce on and my other friends peppercorn sauce taken like it had gone off. The restaurant was a mess and dirty. The waiter came over to clear the table next to us and when he swiped the table threw all the food over one of us including a plastic child's toy. The only positive thing I can say is the manager was running around trying her hardest to get things sorted and herding the waiters who clearly had no idea about service.

I have been to multiple harvesters over the years. Went here on Tuesday as our local Harvester was full. Walked in and was standing at the front desk for a good 2-3 minutes before a staff member said they would be with us in a minute, took a good 3-4 minutes to get to us even after this, felt ridiculous considering many staff members saw us waiting to be seated. You could tell the staff were all completely flustered and understaffed running around. We were given a table for 6 people because our table for 2 was still occupied ( in reality the staff haven’t cleaned up lots of the tables as the left over food was laying around everywhere after people had eaten and gone). Really makes the experience feel dirty walking past all of this. Once we sat down we had no service including tables near to us with a family not being served at all, so my wife had to go up with a menu and just order ourselves directly including the other family. After this we went for our free salads which was also a complete mess with a few ladies waiting around having pointed out to staff multiple salad sections were empty etc, sauces not filled up too and we had to ask for restock. Needs improvement , we have been to this one twice before only due to convenience and it has given an issue every time. Prior to this one we were sat in the bar section yet there were lots of tables in the dining area and was a weird experience as the salad bar is a big walk away from the bar ? The first time we were here of the only 2 veggie options, one we wanted was “out of stock” on that day so had no choice what we could eat essentially that time. It makes no sense for there to be a venue this big as although there was a fair few people there, it was not even half full and this was on a Tuesday.

Ordered via the app and waited 45 minutes for the drinks to come with food around 5 min later. Husband went to get some cutlery and one of the male servers (in front of my husband) actually picked up dirty cutlery, swilled them in dirty water, dried them and handed it to him!! He said no and had to ask someone else for some clean ones.

The food was cold and bland and expensive for what we had. The restaurant was messy (food on the floor) and really cold. Staff were friendly but the overall atmosphere and experience was poor and dull. This was a sad date night.

We had my son’s 7th Birthday party here. All the kids had an amazing time. The staff Courtney & Amy were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. They both worked hard and it went smoothly so us as parents could sit back and relax while everything was taken care of. Thank you ☺️
