About This Pub
Ah, the East Kilbride Harvester – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its friendly atmosphere and that classic family feel, doesn't it? From what I've gathered, the staff are just brilliant; stories of servers like Rory and Sarah being incredibly attentive really stand out, making you feel right at home whether you're there for a quick lunch or a full family dinner. The menu's got loads of variety, from tasty grills and BBQ plates to unlimited salad and even breakfast options, which is perfect if you're looking for something straightforward and satisfying. It's ideally placed near parks and stadiums, with a nice beer garden to enjoy on a sunny day, and the free parking is a real bonus for popping in after a drive. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – a few folks have mentioned the food falling short, like dry chicken or undercooked veg, and it does feel a bit pricey when things don't quite live up to expectations. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.3, it's got that solid reputation for a good time, so if you're in Glasgow and fancy a relaxed meal, I'd say give it a go and see for yourself; you might just have a cracking visit!

We were there for dinner. The space is beautiful. Parking is very good. Ambience is brilliant! Service from Rory was top class. Food was lacking seriously. The vegan nachos didn’t have any vegan cheese😒. The flat bread with hummus was a single bread not cut into pieces. The tikka skewer was seriously lacking taste! Hardly 4 pieces in the skewer which were a little burnt at the edges and were overcooked. Salad bar was fine. Sorry just my opinions!
Visited the Harvester with my family. The server Sarah was fantastic. She was very attentive to our needs as we have an elderly lady with us and accommodated her needs perfectly.
Will happily return.
Got a gift card at Christmas, checked out where I could use it, picked this place. Wasn’t expecting anything special, been past this place a thousand times but not been in. Warm welcome at the door, shown to our seat and given time to check the menu, plenty of choice, you know that bit where you see a picture of a meal and it comes and looks nothing like it? Well this time it did, I got the screens and it was spot on. Place is set up in areas, can eat anywhere but to the right is the bar area with TV’s showing football, to the left is the seated meal area, downstairs is the kids soft play. Staff were lovely and smiling. Service was quite quick and quick to clear up. Will return for another meal soon and take the grand kids and get their take on the place. Visit today 01/02/25 so if you were on shift, thank you.
Came here for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day. Had to pre-order/pay for food a while before the day, fairly expensive for christmas dinner here. Lovely festive atmosphere, service was great too. Christmas dinner was yummy except the veg was all hard and not cooked for long enough. But the starter and desert were very good.
Service was excellent, couldn't fault it. Served quickly and food arrived a lot quicker than expected. The chips were ok as was the salad. The scampi was cooked well. The chicken although tasting okay was a bit dry. Overall the price is a little expensive for the quality of the food.
