“We were in the area and we were hungry. We came to the Harvester this afternoon,it was not busy at all for a Saturday afternoon. This was probably one of the best experiences we have had at the Harvester chain. The atmosphere and vibe felt quite tranquil. The exterior looks like a fairytale building,the interior is the typical Harvester style and full of character and charm. The toilets were very clean. The food from the salad bar was fresh and replenished well. The food is delicious from the salad bar and you can’t really go wrong with it! The colours of the veg are very vibrant. The service was friendly and the food came out very quickly. The food was delicious as usual. I had the pork belly and corn. The dish was beautifully presented. The pork especially was beautifully presented,the pork belly tasted nice and had a reasonable amount of flavour to it. The veg on the side was fresh and delicious. The mash was tasty and very generously portioned. However my only one criticism is that in the last year Harvester have significantly reduced the choice for gluten free diners and made the amount of choice inadequate for consumers who are gluten free. Whilst I appreciate that since the reduction of choice there have been two new main options added on that are gluten free. However,there has been a new change to the menu meaning that the chips are not 100% gluten free now. The pork belly and corn dish that I ate comes with chips and I was told by the server that I couldn’t have the chips with it. I only ordered regular chips so I’m presuming other chip options such as the sage and onion fries are no longer gluten free. It’s now either a choice between mash potato or jacket potato. I am shocked that a company like Mitchells and Butlers does not have standardisation with their food. I have eaten at their other brands such as Browns and Miller and Carter many times and never had an issue with fries but for some reason it may not be 100% gluten free here,however I have not eaten chips at either of the brands I stated above since February so it may have changed. I also had a similar experience at a Vintage Inns restaurant in February with the gluten free options. On the other hand,I feel that Mitchell’s and Butlers is probably the safest choice for me being a gluten free diner as all the staff are really well allergy trained and our server was really well trained and protecting me from any potential cross contamination. It was a great value meal and the food was lovely. Harvester is not cheap but it is a good option if you don’t want to break the bank. Today’s experience was one of the best I have had at a Harvester. I would highly recommend Harvester Ancient Briton!”
