What to Eat at Harvesters How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Harvesters, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Steak sandwhiches Net −1
“I went out last night for a meal with a friend and we both ended up ordering the same food ( Steak Sandwhiches ) and we BOTH had major food poisoning - the order took very long to arrive even though there was only a few people in the Pub. The food was completely drenched in grease, fatty meat. It basically made us both sick last night.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check parking. Confirm parking arrangements before arriving: a recent review says valet has been discontinued and requires self-parking.
Allow time. Visit off-peak if possible and allow extra time for service; one customer waited 30 minutes before ordering.
Check fixtures. Ask which match is being shown beforehand, since a review says the sports selection may be limited to beIN football.
Confirm policy. If visiting with children, check the evening entry rules first because one review reports an after-8-pm restriction.
Ask about deals. Check the terms of table promotions and happy-hour offers before ordering; one review says a promotion was not honoured.
Ask alternatives. If the main kitchen is closed, ask whether a smaller menu is available; one visitor was able to order from it.

The Bottom Line
Harvesters is an English pub and restaurant in Trade Centre, with indoor and outdoor seating, large screens for sport and regular live music. It suits a relaxed drink-and-dinner outing, whether you want fish and chips, a steak, or a pint while following a football match. The terrace’s view towards the Museum of the Future is a notable extra.
Food feedback is mixed but often specific and generous: reviewers praise the steak with garlic mash and mushroom sauce, BBQ beef and pork ribs, and large portions that can be shared. Drinks include Guinness, Heineken, cocktails and Margaritas; happy-hour deals are mentioned, though one customer found drinks expensive and said table promotions were not honoured. The atmosphere is a strong draw: dark, older pub interiors, leather seating, live bands and a direct view of the performers.
Service, however, is uneven. Several reviews describe staff as attentive, while others report disappearing servers, waits of 30–35 minutes and difficulty getting the bill. One review alleges illness after steak sandwiches, so cautious diners may want to choose carefully.
Check parking before arrival: a recent review says valet is no longer available. If bringing children, confirm the evening policy; one review says children were not allowed after 8 pm. Sports coverage may be limited mainly to beIN football.
