About This Pub

Ah, Castlegate Harvester – it's one of those places that feels like a reliable old mate when you're out for a bite in Dudley. I love how they've got this warm, traditional décor that makes you feel welcome straight away, and the menu is packed with crowd-pleasers like their famous rotisserie chicken and hearty grills, all complemented by that brilliant unlimited salad bar that's always fresh and inviting. It's brilliant for families too, with options for the little ones and a laid-back atmosphere where you can just kick back and chat over a meal. On the flip side, I've heard a few tales of breakfast items not quite living up to expectations, like eggs that end up more like rubber than runny, and sometimes the service doesn't quite get off to the best start, especially if you've got specific needs. Still, with such a friendly team on hand most of the time and its handy spot near local attractions, it's worth a visit if you're after good value and a bit of that classic pub restaurant charm – just keep your expectations in check for the finer details.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is spot on, with delicious rotisserie chicken and grilled dishes that always hit the spot, especially when paired with that fresh, unlimited salad bar.
  • It's a proper family-friendly spot, with a welcoming atmosphere, a kids' menu, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy a meal without any fuss.
  • The staff are really friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, and they've got ample parking which is a bonus after a long drive.
  • Its location is spot on for exploring nearby attractions like Dudley Zoo, with easy access and a cosy bar area perfect for unwinding over breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Cons
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss, like overcooked eggs that might leave you disappointed if you're after a perfect breakfast.
  • There have been occasional slip-ups with service, such as not handling special requests smoothly right from the start, which can put a dampener on things.
  • They sometimes run out of popular items, like cream for drinks, which is a bit frustrating when you're looking forward to the full experience.

Never had breakfast from here before and never will again. As you can see by the photo, the eggs were extremely overcooked. The worst eggs I've had in my life. Unlike dried out paper. I honestly dont know how they got them like that. Also had a ices latte with thick cream on top. They ran out of the normal straws that come with so didnt give me a straw. Its not a drink you can sip. I got a really thin straw off the bar, which was better than no straw. My partner got a beer and they forgot they put cleaner in it and gave him a pint with cleaner, which he took a sip of before realising. The lady apologised profusely. She was on her own and was nice. When she came to ask if my food was OK, I said yes even though it was a lie, just because i didnt want to bother the poor lady again. I will not be returning here again though unfortunately.

I have been to this Harvester a couple of times recently. I am very impressed with the place and the food is really good and it is nice and hot. Everything is freshly cooked to order too. The staff are very friendly and helpful and courteous. It has a large restaurant with ample amount of parking and it’s also free.

A large capacity Harvester with plenty of free parking in the car park. Food was hot, prepared quickly and served quickly. The salad bar was fully stocked up. Having pre booked and mentioned that we had a baby and pushchair, the initial communication with the waiter upon entry was disappointing as he wasn't being accommodating to the fact that we had a pushchair. The table we were given didn't have sufficient space for a pushchair, it was very tight and there was plenty of other empty tables available.

Review of Harvester, Castlegate Business & Leisure Park, Dudley I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Harvester branch located in Castlegate Business & Leisure Park, Dudley, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in many ways. Firstly, the location is incredibly convenient. Nestled within the bustling business and leisure park, it offers ample parking space, making it easy for visitors to access without the hassle of searching for a spot. Once inside, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the outlet. The bright and inviting ambiance created a welcoming environment that made my dining experience all the more enjoyable. The staff at this Harvester branch truly stood out. They were exceptionally professional and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met promptly. Our meals were served in a timely manner, which is always a plus, especially when dining out. Now, onto the food – it was absolutely delightful! Every meal was cooked to perfection and served at just the right temperature. I appreciated the attention to detail in the presentation, which made the dishes look as good as they tasted. It’s clear that quality and customer satisfaction are high priorities for this location. Overall, my first visit to this particular Harvester was a fantastic experience. With its conducive location, clean environment, professional staff, and delicious food, I would highly recommend this outlet to anyone in the area. Whether you’re looking for a casual family meal or a place to unwind after a busy day, this Harvester branch is a top choice that I will surely return to in the future!
