About This Pub
Ah, the Harvester Mandeville Arms in Northolt – it's one of those places that just feels like a dependable old mate when you're in the mood for some straightforward, satisfying pub fare. From the reviews, the food really shines through; you've got those mouthwatering rotisserie chickens and grilled plates that hit the spot every time, paired with that endless salad bar that's a real winner for freshening things up. It's got that family vibe down pat, with options for all tastes and ages, making it ideal for a relaxed catch-up over a meal. The staff often get a thumbs-up for being friendly and attentive, which adds to the warm, welcoming feel. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – there was that one off day with some lacklustre service that left a bad taste, so it might pay to keep expectations in check. All in all, if you're after an easy-going spot that's accessible and affordable, especially near the A40 or after a wander around Northala Fields, it's definitely worth popping in for a bite; just go with the flow and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Good experience in overall!
Food was good , with friendly service, thanks to Hope on first visit and Kat couple of days ago .
2 visits in just under 10 days says it all.
One of the only good things about this place is the food – hence the two stars. I was initially going to give just one star due to the terrible service.
Our experience was ruined by the greeter and waiter (I didn’t catch her name, but the receipt had the name Lauren). From the moment we arrived, we felt uncomfortable. The service was poor, and at one point we even considered leaving. We noticed another family sit down, wait for over 15 minutes without being served, and then leave.
This used to be our local Harvester and a place we loved for breakfast, so today’s experience was really disappointing.
To make matters worse, when we received our bill, we noticed we were overcharged by £10. We asked a different waiter for help – she was polite and said she’d look into it. She came back and explained that they would refund the incorrect amount and recharge us the correct total, which we appreciated.
However, when the original waiter (who had seated us) brought the updated bill, she offered no apology or even an acknowledgment of the mistake – just a very rude attitude.
I truly hope the manager takes this seriously and ensures the staff receive proper customer service training.
Great Harvester restaurant. Lots of parking at the side which is free by putting your registration in the machine on entry. Lots of nice seating in either the main restaurant or the bar area. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was lots of choice on the menu for meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan eaters. I am vegetarian and have a nut allergy and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. They also brought me the allergy iPad to check for myself too. The free salad bar was well stocked and very fresh. Our meals were very big, hot and freshly cooked. Everyone loved their food. We were a party of 7 celebrations someone's 91st Birthday and they catered very well for us. I informed the staff that it was a birthday for a 91 year old. Then staff promptly brought out some ice cream and a large chocolate brownie with candles in it. The staff then sand happy birthday 🎂 it was a lovely touch. Will definitely be going there again. Highly recommend it.
Reliable, good quality, great prices.
There isn't much in the way of brunch establishments in our diversity-rich area of West London. After some recent poor experiences we decided to try the Mandeville arms. Its been some years since I last went to a Harvester and swore to never return. How things change!
The Mandeville is bright, airy and scrupulously clean. The staff are engaging, with a 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude. All we wanted was a simple mid-morning bruch and coffe ... and they really nailed it. I am moved to post a picture of their breakfast roll. Everything about it was perfect in terms of the cooking quality and taste. It is, of course, impossible to eat with any dignity. But sometimes that's where the fun comes in!
The coffee was good and unlimited. We might have been fortunate to visit at a very quiet time but I suspect that it would have been just as good had it been busy. The environment is relaxed and unhurried. All in all a great experience and I am grateful to the staff for their friendly, courteous and professional deportment. I should also mention that that the prices are incredibly competitive.
Spot of English mustard would have been nice.
Well done, keep up the good work!
Came in to have a meal here when my parents came to visit from West Sussex. Pleasant staff and delicious meal. Would definitely returning.
