Harvester Oakmere Potters Bar

Nicely decorated restaurant overlooking a lake with outdoor seating.

Service is friendly, efficient, and relaxed.

Food is freshly cooked to order coming out of the kitchen hot and simply presented.
The free salad bar is fresh and vibrant with a good choice and even a selection of rolls.

Plenty of parking, but do remember to register your vehicle in the restaurant not to be charged.

Very friendly staff food is always cooked well and tastes amazing.
Amelia was a very helpful waitress and didn't stop all night.
Thank you for a great service
Give Amelia 5 stars and bonus 👍

This is the best I've seen this place in 30 years. It has been revamped and the food is great if you're looking for indulgence and fun. The burgers are great and the portions are huge. Don't come here expecting a gourmet dinner. This is pure fun for the kids and your weight gain. If the service stays the same it was amazing. Be sure to tip the waiters and waitresses if you're happy. This motivates people. The only thing I would improve is the salad bar which is free although it's prone to germs and needs better protection.

Service was amazing. We was serve by Gabriel in the bar area due to bringing a dog. He was very pleasant with his service and very polite to deal with. Louie the yorkie and I would definitely come back again. Thanks for good service and good food

We are new to the area, me and my husband just moved in last week. Harvester was our first stop, and we have been treated so kindly. Lady who is the manager - Cat - has welcomed us and made us feel very comfortable. It’s great for families. Price is more than affordable. Food was great, salad bar is absolutely amazing. Super recommending this place. We’ll be definitely coming back there very often.

Many thanks,

Food was very good but portions are getting even smaller while prices are up. Service was the best we’ve had at a Harvester by a country mile thanks to Rahim. Why can’t everyone take a leaf out of his book. He was genuinely kind and polite throughout. If we good rate him higher than a 5 we would. He was well deserving of our generous tip. Well done Rahim!!

Cat, our waitress, was absolutely brilliant. We had service with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble and she was very attentive and kind. The food was delicious 😋 and came hot and fresh. Lovely salad bar and well stocked. Nice pint of Guinness according to my husband so that's high praise. Had a lovely walk around the lakes afterwards too. Bonus. Thanks Cat for making our visit so enjoyable. And to all the cooks and greeting staff too. We have become regulars here.

Father's Day .. My little daughter invited me to Harvester...what can go wrong?
First, I didn't know you couldn't get a table if you didn't reserve one before you got to the restaurant, we were lucky enough to find one in the bar area.Food come pretty quick. Small portions for the prices.
Chicken was good

We go here every Sunday for breakfast, sometimes we go with our teenage sons, sometimes as a large family group but mostly we do a breakfast date. The food is always fresh and hot. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended xx

Yas was a great server - helpful and made sure we’re comfortable. I have a severe allergy and she was really careful and reassuring. My friend had her little girl with her and Yas made sure she was well looked after too. Great visit.

Served today by ARCHIE what a credit to harvester he is! Polite, attentive, made us feel welcome, nothing was too much trouble! And served us with a smile!
Treat him well harvester you need more staff like him! Honestly I can’t praise this young man enough!

I was a bit stumped for ideas for Valentine’s Day this year and decided Harvester ticked all the boxes. Food is always consistent. Salad bar never disappoints and Desserts are naughty, but NICE!!! On this particular evening though, we were served by “Ben”. He really made the effort to make sure not just my table, but every table around us was being looked after. He was very polite, attentive and alert. It was nice to see customer service at its best, when so many restaurants are moving over to ordering via Apps or QR codes! Well done Ben & Well Done Harvester. Keep up the good work.

Myself and mum visited the Potters Bar Harvesters for lunch and we were received by Nikki and Megan both of whom are exceptionally good waitresses. They kept us comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. The full rack of ribs and sides was very tasty and the salad bar was fresh and lush.

The only fault I noted was that the Mojito had no mint leaves available in the served glass. Other than that minor detail in presentation we enjoyed the outing thoroughly. We couldn’t actually finish our main so we took it home in a box. Excellent all round.

The chicken combo and kids menu were great.
Haven't been to a harvester for years, much better. Will go again soon .

We had a lovely meal for Mother’s Day 2024 , Despite the restaurant being very busy our server Laura was attentive, polite, conversational, prompt and efficient, a lovely lady .. we all enjoyed our food very much in fact I haven’t seen my Mother in law eat so much in ages! Always a pleasure to eat at the potters bar branch and with staff like Laura and good food it’s no wonder .

Really lovely Christmas dinner here today. Fabulous food, excellent service. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Thank you.

We came for lunch on Sunday as a family of 5 and we all had a wonderful time. The food was delicious same as the drinks and the service.😀
One thing that could be improved is the waiting time at the door as no member of staff was at the entrance. Certainly we understand as it was a busy time of the day.
Thank you all!

We had six for a family lunch on a very busy Sunday afternoon. Service (from Yasemin) was excellent - professional, friendly and very customer focussed. Our food was very good, especially given the price point. I personally saw the manager dealing with some very difficult customers, and she remained totally professional throughout - well done to you. Overall, this is a family centred restaurant with a decent menu at reasonable prices. We will be using it again

I had the most delicious Mediterranean brunch here. Cosy settings with a lovely view to the park. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and really make the visit worthwhile. Great for families too. Will be back soon!

One of my favourite pubs for their garden seating overlooking a lake. Definitely recommend it for a nice summer day. The pints are very reasonably priced as well.
