Harvester Gravesend in Strood

Ah, Harvester Gravesend – it's one of those places that just feels like a reliable old friend when you're after a solid meal out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really hits the spot with those generous portions of grilled favourites, rotisserie chicken, and that endless salad bar that keeps everyone coming back for more. It's clear the team puts in the effort to make things welcoming, especially for families, with a kids' menu and options for all dietary needs, and the recent spruce-up has left it feeling fresh and inviting. Service-wise, stories about servers like Shelley are glowing – she's all about that personal touch, making sure kids are happy and meals run smoothly, even when the place is buzzing. On the flip side, it does tend to get packed, so you might find yourself waiting a bit longer than you'd like, and there's a hint of confusion with the operating details that could catch you out if you're not checking ahead. All in all, it's a cracking choice for a casual get-together, offering good value and a homely atmosphere, but just keep in mind those busier moments to plan your visit just right. If you're in the Gravesend area, I'd say give it a go – it's got that balance of fun and reliability that makes for a memorable night out.
