Harvester - Menu

I frequently stop for breakfast at the Harvester Donington Park. For me, it’s the best motorway service station on the M1. The staff are always welcoming friendly the poached eggs on toast coffee make a very good start to my day.

Disappointed. Went out for a meal at 7pm. No rotisserie available so the menu was greatly reduced. We then went to the salad bar which was almost empty apart from tomatoes cucumber and onion.No bread available at all. Normally we have had a good experience at this venue.

Not just about the Harvester but the service station as a whole, what a poor place to visit, the toilets looked like some had cleaned their football boots in them all, the place was disorganised, only good for 2 hours free parking to then pick family up from East Midlands.

We stopped in for a meal on a coach trip back to Nottingham. After ordering, we realized time was running out. We requested to make it a takeaway, and the kind lady working there went above and beyond to quickly prepare our meal in time for us to catch our coach. She was a lifesaver.

On a Friday night, the staff at the restaurant was overwhelmed with just one member. The salad bar was completely empty, and the food took a long time to come out. When it did arrive, everything was overcooked, from the chips to the chicken to the sweetcorn. The restaurant was also in need of a good cleaning.

Situated within the Moto services, the salad bar was poor, you get a free salad with a main meal or you can pay 4:95 for the salad by itself, I’d have been angry if I’d payed for the salad bar as several containers were empty, no potato salad no coleslaw and sparse, despite the waitress checking the salad bar several times she failed to replenish it. Meal was good but salad bar poor.

Stayed at travel lodge East Midlands for one night (which was lovely) the only mistake we made was to have a meal at the Harvester which is adjoined to the hotel I ordered scampi chips it was rock hard when cutting into it the piece of scampi was about as big as my finger nail my husband had fish chips that was nearly all batter hardly any fish at all we just left most of it. I suppose it was my fault really we should have complained needless to say we won’t be going back

It is so nice to find a service station in UK serving freshly cooked hot meals. Normally the choice is a burger or fish and chips if you're lucky. So I was pleasantly surprised to be able to order a decent meal with free unlimited salad at the Harvester restaurant here. The service was friendly, tables clean good choice of hotfood. Usually if I'm on the motorway in UK and want a quick dinner the choice is only junk food unlike some of the excellent services in Europe. So well done Harvester!

Stopped here on a journey, why else would you be at a Motorway services..? The general ambience of the Harvester was good the staff friendly and polite. The eating areas were clean. Unfortunately that’s where the good bits stop. We both had the original combo, the ribs were decent but the chicken and corn on the cob both tasted dry and overcooked. The amount of gravy given in the jug to pour was extremely limited in quantity and got easily soaked up by the chips. I didn’t complain at the time as I was tired and fed up after the awful Friday afternoon traffic that meant it had taken three hours to travel ninety miles.
