A Tuesday lunch (online booking) for 1pm - for myself and my parents. My father is Diabetic so we need to make sure he eats on-time, hence the booking. Booking wouldn't have been necessary otherwise.
I haven't lived in Milton Keynes for 27 years and was visiting the folks.
Really impressed with the menu (it's essentially pub-fayre) but with a huge amount of choice!
I wanted to try their rotisserie chicken but I also wanted ribs. They had a menu item which had both! Result! The sage and onion fries were tasty (and a bit different) - the accompanying gravy pot was excellent and just what the dish needed. It would've been a bit dry without it - and I love dipping my fries in gravy!
We were seated quickly, served politely and the food came fresh and really pretty promptly. We all really enjoyed what we'd ordered...parents went for Scampi and Fish&Chips.
The free salad bar was superb, tonnes of choice!
The only downside for me, is that it's pretty dark inside and the furniture (some chairs) were a bit grubby. They've definitely seen better days and the toilets were closed. The signage was terrible and a customer told me that I had to use the ladies. After eating the ribs - I only needed to wash my hands.
I'd certainly make a return visit.

Shout out to the gent that answered the phone tonight 19/10/23. I was a little upset.
Had ordered food through a delivery app and after waiting nearly 45 minutes called the restaurant.
I was very promptly assured they'd got my order, the food was ready and they'd even put in an extra slice of cake as a sorry 😭 for something not their fault.
Very friendly, professional and tried to help as much as they could so neither of us would miss out.
Delicious food, beautifully packed and well enjoyed. Thank you!

would recommend

Booked a table for 10am. Ordered 2 Classic Breakfasts which were only £5.99 each and drinks. Served by Charlie who was very pleasant. Our lovely breakfasts arrived within about 10 minutes. Quite alot of food for the price, 2 eggs, 2 bacon done on the grill, mushrooms, tomatoes, 2 sausages, baked beans. Really tasty! The restaurant was quite full and Charlie was run off his feet but he did a good job serving everyone. We had never been to the Harvester but would recommend the breakfast and will visit again to try the lunches.
Rod Brown
The food was amazing. Salad bar was great and so fresh. Atmosphere was really good.staff were very friendly and polite. We were not rushed either which makes a change. So a really pleasant experience, made our anniversary.

As always I ended up at the wrong eatery. And what a pleasant experience, I hadn’t been to a Harvester restaurant in years, well not to eat anyway, I thought, do they still have eat as much salad as you can, and yes they do, after 3 bowls of salad the main arrived .
we ordered:-
THE VEGGIE COMBO V for 2,
Grilled Mediterranean vegetables, honey-grilled halloumi, golden rice, BBQ pit beans, slaw and chips. Served with a tomato and smoked paprika dip.
Ashton’s seal of approval on the Macaroni cheese and ice cream,
All I can say ‘for pub grub’ it was ‘awesome’ I didn’t eat the Slaw, and only a couple of the chips, a little more of the rice and veg instead would have been lovely. Great meal thanks. Sorry about the mess!!!
PS Love the Murals

Although there on a sad occasion the staff were polite and extremely attentive. The food was excellent, well presented and plenty of it. The whole establishment was clean and nothing was too much trouble.
Tom Hyde
We arrived and were promptly seated. Leanne our waitress soon came to take our order. Food arrived quickly and at very high quality. Definitely made for an enjoyable Mother's Day meal.
Alex Karpsson
Very nice place, very kind waiters, very delicious food. When you get there, you dive into a local atmospheric world. Highly recommended. 👍🏻👍🏻
Denise Clifford
Would be nice if they cleared the table in-between courses. The table was overflowing with 14 of us. It’s a shame I had to ask twice during our visit.
The food was served hot and together which was lovely and nothing was returned.
The space they gave us was very tight and it was a good job we had one person let us down last minute as one of the chairs were against a beam and there was no way of using it.
The salad bar had hardly anything left at 6:30pm
Dave Edmonds
Excellent service, lovely food and a reasonable price
Jennie Smith
A large party of 12, ranging from 5 to 80, the food was superb, huge portions, lovely well cooked meals, the service was 2nd to none, all the team were beyond friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. An absolute credit, 5* in every way. Special thanks to Stuart and Bef for really going above and beyond and making it such a fantastic evening. Thank you all!
Alice Burrell
Very Enjoyable! Felt so welcomed and comfortable. Food was delicious and fast service. Staff were all so friendly and happy to help. Would definitely visit again :)
Josh Troy
Had a lovely lunch with my partner and our waiter Will gave us a very warm welcome and exceptional service. Managers reading this, treat this man well, definitely a solid worker👍🏽 Yet again massive shout out to Will
Mark Kutnahorszky
Always great service, love coming in for breakfast. The place is lovely and the staff is very helpful and polite. Out of the few harvesters I have been this one is the greatest!
Amanda Dallison
Great food, great price and the servers were lovely. We hadn't booked in advance and they managed to fit us in as they'd had a no show.
Alison Carter
Lovely surroundings, lovely staff but the food wasn’t good. My steak was so tough I couldn’t eat it. No point in complaining as I doubt anything would come off it. Such a shame as it used to be a great place to go ( 10 years ago)
Max Parsons
Cannot praise this place enough! We were a table of 10 with 2 small children. The food was great and our server Kyle (Kyy) was excellent with all of us, particularly the children. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to have a relaxed night out at a very reasonable price.
Martyn Thurley
We enjoyed a lovely family meal here yesterday, the staff were all lovely and very attentive. Food was all on point, and a special mention to the the chef that did a first class job cooking the 16oz rib eye, it was delicious.
The management here are making some changes and it is definitely for the better! The rear garden is looking fabulous and I’m looking forward to a few summer evenings out there with friends.
Daniel Pritchard
Just had a work Christmas meal excellent excellent service and food. Kelly went above and beyond to make our experience the best and the waiters we had where full of laughs thanks kelly for a great evening would recommend �
Anne Tell
We arrived with my 92 year old disabled Mother and staff were very helpful in guiding us to a window table 2 enable 2 c as best Mum could (The added bonus was that we benefited from a slight breeze which kept us cool).
We all enjoyed what we had, fish/chips; scampi/chips and grilled chicken breast with salad. We were kept topped up with lovely chilled water and nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to be served with someone who had a smile on their face.
Jayne Stringer
Just been in for Xmas eve meal. Staff very accommodating but it was like being in a nursery with children running wild screaming and shouting. No control from parents. I drove 200 miles to visit my elderly father and go for a meal and he could not hear a word of conversation. Finished meal under duress spoke to several members of staff before under control. By all means kids can have fun but this was totally out of control.
Tony Leather
Lovely place great staff . .we arrived late about 10.20 we was still served a lovely meal and staff so helpful with my daughters needs when it came to a pudding well after time I couldn't thank them enough will go back for sure
John Barnes
A very good quality breakfast at a low price. The service was quick and friendly. I liked being able to top up my coffee (had three cups). Will definitely go again.
Christian Luke Chamberlain

Mellony Jahn
Food not brilliant but wasn’t expecting anymore. Staff friendly and helpful, place ok food frozen below average. About on par with a Wetherspoons pub but more expensive.
Douglas Teagle
Turn up the place was quiet waiting staff was polite place an order went to the salad station and it was empty and need of attention empty in other words
Had a long wait so the food was freshly made
Adam Walker

Ailsa Moini
Went with my sons for a evening meal.
I wanted just the salad from the bar, it was the most awful salad and looked terrible. Will not have salad again. They need to have more choice and better food.
Kim Lo Monaco
Breakfast with Santa.
Well organised perfect Santa and Mrs Christmas.
Breakfast value for money as long as you have filter coffee/ endless tea.
Waitress was kind caring and helpful.
No complaint and would do it again
10/10
Anna Ahrenberg
The worst meal I've had in a very long time. Took over an hour to get our starters that were cold. My sirloin steak was so tough and over cooked it was inedible. Same with another 2 of the mains. Fair play to them they agreed the food should never have been served like that and we didn't have to pay for anything!
Ellen Atkins
we arrived early for our booked table so we grabbed a drink from the bar & then seated, our order was taken within 5 mins and the food arrived before we had a chance to finish our salad bowls. Great service very polite & when they got one meal slightly wrong it was rectified within minutes with apologies (corn on the cob instead of beans!) will be retuning
Debra O'Sullivan
The service was good. The salad bar was aLittle sparse and the dishes were nearly empty . They were not filled quick enough ... disappointing
Karen Barrett
First visit for a long time, usually love the food but this time was a let down. Dirty table, had to ask for cutlery and food was luke warm. Very disappointing. Won't be in a rush to go back.
Ellen Louise McConnell
Me, my husband and 2 kids went yesterday and we enjoyed it so much, kid friendly and the food was delicious!!! It's the first meal I have had in MK since I moved here on December 1st that I throughly enjoyed! We will most certainly be back!!
Viv Yarwood
Ordered a cup of tea sent the cup back it was filthy then they served milk in a glass had no milk jugs thought that this was not very good serving tea like this
Colin Brown
A very enjoyable meal. Not the fastest service in the world, but we were out for the evening and found the service fine
Brian Elliott
The food and service was nice but got sat next to group of women so noisy it ruined my meal and half had no food just sat and left to it by staff
Emma Portsmouth
Popped in for a quick bite to eat, amazing steak, and great service
Jolene Lynch
13 of us came for lunch today and were served by Kitty. We had a brilliant time, thanks to our very attentive and lovely waitress. The kids really enjoyed the salad bar and we all got to catch up with our Canadian uncle. Thank you very much indeed - 5* service
Mary-hellen Fraser
Went for sons birthday meal jackets was over cooked but staff was helpful and friendly
Jackie Brown
It was fab, a party of over 50 of us turned up unannounced and were made to feel very welcome and the service was fantastic. Will definitely visit again.
Jason Robert Metherall

Robbie Dee
Tried the bean burger an chips my son had the fried halloumi and chips both were amazing especially with the smoked maple sauce and kicking garlic sauce... Also Noticed the carpets had been cleaned Saturday night was vibrant. Staff are pleasant an bubbly. 10/10
Zac Taylor
Service was ok.
Food was good apart from my chips which were well overcooked (and I like mine crunchy).
Menu has become very basic imo.
Men's toilets are at other side of the pub which is quite far in this kind of setting.
Prices are fine.
