The Arden Oak in Birmingham

Harvester food at harvester prices. Nice big car park

We had a lovely expereiance great service by Courtney always polite and asking if we needed anything. 5 Star server…. The food was amazing the chefs liz & Jaz made our food to perfection with fresh rotisserie chicken, they need a raise for that level of service and food quility

Me and the boy decided to indulge in an ultimate mixed grill. It didn’t disappoint, loved it , both stuffed. Highly recommend

Booked a table here for Wednesday evening nice cosy atmosphere was lucky enough to have Courtney as our server. A lovely smiley person. Our meals arrived quickly nice and hot and very tasty. Thanks to lucas and Craig in the kitchen,a nice evening.

Lovely food, consistently tasty and amazing portions. Not had a bad meal at all here. Thanks to Emily our server on the day

Excellent food. Clean, friendly staff and excellent service. Despite been very busy due to a meeting, they accommodated us very well, quick service.

Great restaurant, very accommodating and excellent service, big thanks to Tania and George for being super helpful! Food always tasty and fresh! X

Visited here several times over the last couple of months as my partner lives 2 minutes away and it tends to be the go to when her family fly in from Ireland, so will combine into one review. Never had an issue from this Harvester. The food has always been very nice and very filling each time we have visited. Even one time when, they were clearly short staffed due to illness and very apologetic because of this, they still managed to do a good job with getting the food out to us after not too long a wait. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a nice meal that won’t break the bank.

Haven’t been since they have refurbished. Todays meal was the best Ive ever had at a harvester the chicken and steak were cooked perfectly by ank’e and Ellie and the service from Emily was great :)

First the rotisserie was broken which eliminated a lot of the menu, the menu doesn't have much choice, I chose the mixed grill, £19 but was dissatisfied, only two small mushrooms one tomato a hard egg, the meat looked like it had been irined, really unappetising The salad bar had only one side filled, didn't have many if the salad choices such as potato salad sweetcorn onions etc, really feel the harvester is going down hill, for the price, the quality is not good enough The waitress came over to clear our table, my wife was still finishing her last mouthful and hadn't put her knife and fork down unacceptable

The food was excellent! A big thank you to chefs Jaz and Ang. Our server Izzy was the star of the show though- such a nice person who made us feel so welcome! Great work guys

Lovely fathers day lunch today, food and service was faultless, didn't get our server's name but was really attentive and wasn't waiting to long between courses which is good when you have young children with you, thanks all the staff, keep up the good work.

Me and my mom came for food and our waitress Chelsea was incredible so helpful and polite food was amazing thanks so much to arik and lucas they are all a credit to ur team will be back

Server Tanya was brilliant from start to finish & made us feel so welcome & couldn’t do enough for us. The thing that let our visit down was the chefs Daz & Craig not taking on board the request that the server put through the system & also followed through by walking up to the counter asking the chefs to ensure that my food (everything on the plate) being hot as previous visits the food has come out not very warm at all.

I went with my mum for lunch after picking her up from the airport. We didn’t book but we were seated by a lovely lady immediately and offered us drinks. Our server Courtney was very friendly, attentive and helpful with the lunch set menu. Shout out to the chefs , Azel ( I think that’s the name? ) and Lucas, food was really good and fast service. Would definitely come back again!

Well done. Everything was perfect 20 of our family booked in everyone's food was beautiful drinks can quickly service was fantastic. Highly recommended thankyou for a great evening from Ivan jo and rest of the family

Had a lovely birthday lunch today with my family. Always excellent service, food and value for money..

Beautiful food and fantastic service. The staff were just lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely time.

Brilliant service and excellent food, cannot fault this restaurant. Staff always go above and beyond to ensure guests are satisfied .

Food was delicious, steak cooked beautifully, staff are very friendly and couldn’t do enough to help

No soap in the gents toilet, this establishment is a restaurant and a pub. Even though i mentioned lack of soap to a member of staff nothing was done to rectify the situation. Not acceptable.

Fantastic place, lovely, friendly staff. The food was amazing value for money! We were a booking of 11 of which two were children. My elderly grandmother is a fussy eater but she commented on her fish and chips and said it was the best she...

Visited today for lunch and a few drinks. Service was great and the food was lovely, thank you very much.

Friendly staff, good food - free salad bar, if in area we will probably return! Lots of parking but be careful as one of the sleeping policemen is quite high!

Came in first quiet family meal and it was a great experience. Our waitress Laura W was perfect, could've have asked for a more attentive waitress who gave excellent recommendations and checked on us throughout. Will definitely be coming back again

I have visited a few times now and I must say the staff are always polite, welcoming and helpful. I’ve tried the steak meals and burger meals but I usually go for the dirty burger which I can honestly say is the best burger I’ve...

The staff are so friendly. The guy on the salad bar was SO kind to my elderly mother. She’s his biggest fan now. Telling everyone. I think his name is George. We will definitely be back

Visited Boxing Day for festive family meal. The vegan meal was served with a Yorkshire putting a pot of meat gravy. I complained directly to the restaurant who apologised and said they would send a voucher. I heard nothing more. What I really wanted from...

Had a lovely meal with my family last week. The manager was delightful and bubbly, and it was great to see such an amazing team. Special shout out to Jacasta the chef. Her food is the best!

Come for a breakfast really enjoyed such good value! Big shout out to Jamie who was such a delight and looked after us so well!

Was never a fan of Harvester, however last couple pf visits have been faultless. On our recent visit we received a friendly welcome, food top notch and tasty and our waitress Beena was great, Efficient and helpful throughout the couple of hours we were there....

As usual bad bits first, leaky roof but still sat customers underneath the affected area, became apparent when it rained but staff obviously knew about it, served a very burnt tart, and what has happened to the salad bar, it used to be excellent with...

Lovely breakfast. We were seated quickly upon entry and the process due to covid was explained. Our waiter was Sam and he could not of been more friendly or helpful. Service was quick and food was delicious. Well priced breakfast. The only downfall to this...

Went with family for lunch, food was excellent, staff very friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

‘Bland’ vegetarian option. Popped in for lunch after seeing there was a 50% off mains when my partner and I had a rare day off together. Service was good and my partners steak sandwich was decent but the vegetarian option left a lot to be...

We had a nice lunch here would recommend they are very conscious regarding cleaning. The layout makes you completely feel safe.

They found me a table even though I booked the wrong night and there attitude and service were first class, I to can’t understand the negative reviews, if you looking for a nice meal in a pleasant and clean environment then look no further

Great service, the food was excellent, especially the sweet potato fries, they had a lovely crispness to them. The beef dripping gravy was immense! Let’s face it, I know we’re all fed up of covid, but places need measures in place in order to open...

I don't know how it can have all these negative reviews, I found a wonderful place, fast and attentive service but above all excellent food .... congratulations as soon as I can, I will definitely be back

After visiting many harvesters in the past I have not had any good experiences before and was certainly expecting something awful. Stepped through the door to a modern and spacious restaurant. Was warmly welcomed by some lovely staff. The restaurant looked flawless and clean unlike...

Went here with 4 adults 2 children under 7 and a pregnant daughter in law. Ordered the drinks then told there is no tables, outside only. One table with a umbrella and the heater dose not work, so we sat at another table. Started to...

What happened to customer satisfaction? The manager Naomi running this place is nothing but Rude, my 10yr old moved a chair to sit by her parents, and she spoke to her like Crap, because of there COVID 19 rules, fair enough ask not to do...

Our first time coming since lockdown so we were a bit nervous about going. However, we was not disappointed, they were all lovely and welcoming and were very organised. Our Server, Joshua was great and cheerful and even though he was running everywhere nothing was...

Food was spot on and the staff was super friendly cleaniness was top notch would recomend to everyone

La mesa reservada para 4 debido a las nuevas restricciones solo puede llegar 5 minutos antes del desinfectante de manos, tan pronto como ingrese, se sentirá muy seguro y limpio. La barra de ensaladas todavía está disponible pero te sirven mi plato estaba lleno, no tengo quejas. ¿Pedí la barriga de cerdo a la barbacoa absolutamente deliciosa, era tan abundante, así que decidiste la opción de bebida y pudín, un pequeño trozo de tarta de queso de vainilla con un café con leche de Baileys estaba delicioso? otros en mi grupo tenían el pollo combinado triple y parrillada mixta y pudín de chocolate y naranja y un helado enorme. Todos los platos se aclararon como pudines 4 clientes muy satisfechos! Si descarga la aplicación, obtiene un 25% de descuento y se usó junto con el esquema actual de 10 de descuento por persona, por lo que incluir bebidas fue una ganga 37. 50? fantástico servicio de personal limpiando mesas limpieza rápida, etc. no tengo ninguna queja en absoluto bien hecho?

Met up with an associate for a business catch up. Excellent hospitality and service from Michelle. Ate, “light bites” and very satisfied; all appropriate measures in place

Nuestra primera salida después del bloqueo y quedamos impresionados por las medidas de seguridad implementadas. El servicio fue un poco más lento ya que el personal estaba sirviendo la ensalada a los clientes, pero el tiempo de espera fue perfectamente aceptable. Tuve la mitad de pollo con salvia y chips de cebolla, que estaba delicioso y mi compañero tenía la parrillada mixta, que era una buena selección de carnes, pollo, chips de huevo frito y guisantes. Fue uno de los mejores platos a la parrilla mixtos que había probado. Todavía encontramos espacio para el postre, helado de caramelo salado para él y yo elegí el helado de maracuyá. Creo que el mío acaba de tener la ventaja de que la acidez de la fruta atraviesa la dulzura del chocolate blanco y el merengue. Personal amable y servicial como siempre.

Naomi & Crew brillante, el área del bar impecable y todo con una sonrisa, limpiando y desinfectando constantemente nada es un problema.

Primera vez desde el encierro y debo decir que me impresionó lo bien que han desplegado sus medidas de distanciamiento social.Bien hecho al equipo, definitivamente regresaré pronto.???

Popped in for a few drinks last night with family after a few months of lockdown. Very impressed with the strict social distancing rules. The manager and staff did really well, 10/10.

Went today for breakfast before returning home after overnight stay in Birmingham. Greeted and served by cath professional and friendly, the food was lovely and restaurant clean and tidy. We work for harvester too and in fact used to work there love the refurb!! Thanks cath for lovely end to my birthday weekend

Been here a few times in the past, would have rated it average, but sadly this time was very poor. Not especially busy, but the service was very slow, one of the starters was undercooked and went back. The food itself was OK but nothing special.We had to chase for salad bowls, then chase again for our coffees. The place has clearly had a refurb since my last visit so a bit sad that the gents toilets had non-working hand driers, and a generally unpleasant aroma.Disappointing, and by choice I will not go to this place again.

Eaten here a few times. The fillet steak was nicely cooked, although at £19 I thought it was dear. The chunky chips were a little soggy, could have been crisper. Salad bar has a good choice.
