This is the third time I have been here for breakfast and I would certainly go back again. The staff are friendly and approachable and very attentive. The breakfast has been consistently good and it sets us up nicely for a day at the beach hut. I thought it was time to give a shout out to a good experience and I look forward to our next visit

We went with our children for dinner after the beach and even though it was very busy, food came fast and service was lovely, we will be back ?

Our server, Sarah, was lovely. I was disappointed about the fact that our side of Mac cheese was unavailable and that they didn?t tell us until the meal came out (I would have ordered something completely different had I known). Also, our pudding took forever and only arrived after we asked. That said, there is a nice ambience and Sarah and the manageress were both efficient and attentive.

This harvester is in a lovely setting right on the beach, it was fairly early in the morning so very nice to sit in the morning sun and eat a nice breakfast outside. The breakfast bap and yoghurt granola was tasty and unlimited coffee and toast always goes down well. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Terrible sevice and food. All the staff looked moody as hell and not helpful at all, ignored multiple times. Waited well over hour for food even though I had seen it sitting under heat lamp for over 20 mins! Partner had scampi and was hard and cold. Mine didn't arrive for nearly 10 mins after. I had a medium rare steak which was inedible and had been burnt to a crisp. Waited at bar and lobby trying to flag down anyone with my plate in hand . Asked for refund and manager was rude and dismissive. Didn't get full refund but cba wasting anymore time. Over 2 hours for nothing but paying £3 fir dipping sauce lol. Toilets were also disgusting.

Me and partner have visited a few times, as food been good and can?t beat the location. Although this time was awful. We could see they were busy and all the staffed seemed stressed, and understood that there was a wait on food. Literally everything was out of stock, if hadn?t paid so much for parking would of gone somewhere else, as so limited. Again it happens though in busy pubs. But when you see your meals under the hot lamp for 15 mins and no one bringing it out, the moment we got it I knew it would be cold. I got my meal, but it wasn?t correct my partner had to wait a good 5 mins after until he got he?s. Chips were cold so did say something to the waitress and they were replaced. Thank you My partner steak was inedible, we don?t like to say anything but this time we had to, considering the cost of it. This bit actually upset me the most as the manager on duty couldn?t even offer an apology and was quarrying whether we should pay for the sauce and wouldn?t look at the food. As I understand you were busy I work in hospitality, but not to even apologise and was more concerned about not giving us a refund. If the manager handled it better I wouldn?t of even written this review.

No real ales, food portion size was very small and we're not big eaters. Free salad bar pretty empty.

The breakfast at the Harvester was lovely. Freshly cooked, toast and tea/coffee self service. Sarah the waitress was lovely, extremely polite and she worked very hard. Restaurant very clean would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

Please don?t advertise that you have disabled parking. You don?t!! What you do have is a council car park leading down the hill to the restaurant with about 4 disabled bays. All of them were taken by cars without a blue parking permit (not Harvesters problem) Therefore we were unable to stay for our meal. Why not update your information so that people who haven?t been before are under no illusion that they will get a space.

Food was nice, but it's better to say no more... other than I would totally think twice about coming back as apparently 8.00 pounds was later taken from one of my guests bank accounts according to them More

I?ve been coming here for years , always loved visiting this place but this year was a terrible experience . Staff were friendly and polite and very busy but still smiling and friendly which os great . Obviously the location is wonderful , But wow I was so shocked at how grimy and dirty the place was this year. The outside tables were absolutely filthy , wooden tables which looked like they needed scrapping let alone eating a meal from them , outside the floor was littered with rubbish and food . Looked like hadn?t seen a broom for weeks . We came in to eat in the bar area as it became a bit chilly and the table in the bar area was just as unclean . The toilets were absolutely filthy , no toilet roll and really dirty . The whole place needs decorating and looked so grimy . The food was pub grub typical Harvester food no complaints there as knew what to expect but come on Harvester chain please sort Durley Chine out ! Peak tourist season and short staffed are probably the reason but the whole restaurant needs a deep clean new furniture and a lick of paint !
