Harvester Wheatsheaf Loughborough

We arrived about 3.45pm as a group of nine without a booking. The lady looked a little hesitant but went to talk to her manager. They quickly prepared a table for us and mentioned they had a party of 20 due so maybe we’d like to order fairly quickly. The staff were superb, often popping over to make sure everything was ok. When we arrived there were a couple of tables occupied. When we left it was half full but although they were busy we were still well looked after. The food was excellent, plenty of choices and combinations, delicious, hot and generous without being too enormous. Definitely a great place for a happy family treat.

Would have been 5 stars for the food but we ordered 3 steaks - 1 medium rare ,1 medium and 1 well done all of them were red in the middle but when mentioned it was dealt with immediately. Becky who served us was polite, jolly, informative and very professional she was a real gem she lightened the evening up for us and deserved all the praise she got. Will go back again enjoyed the food especially enjoyed the service and the whole experience was really good.

Had the burger it was good pub grub. Loved the salad bar, the bacon bits were my favourite. Good solid pub vibes.

It had been many years since I had been to a harvester. In that time though they have really made improvements to their menu, the food was very good and tasty. It was very clean with excellent polite and helpful service. The price was also very reasonable. Only thing that let it down a tiny bit was the cheese they used for the burgers was that liquid stuff you get out of a squeezy bottle, so not great. So please harvester if you read this, use proper cheese for a burger..

I took my son out for dinner in the evening so was quite dark outside, (late October), and I didn't notice that the car park had a camera system. Car park was almost full and I was focussed on finding a spot. I've been to this Harvester several times over nearly a decade and there was no camera system until more recently, which is another reason why I didn't notice. Imagine my surprise when a £100 parking fine turns up a week later. Why didn't any of the staff ask if we had parked? Please instruct your staff to ask guests if they have parked so they don't get stung as well. With the prices of everything going through the roof, the last thing I needed was a £100 parking fine. I'm so angry, I feel like I've been scammed. I binned the receipt the day after the meal, so I can't contest the fine now. The food was fine and it was a good steak. No complaints about the food/service at all, but I will never come back.
