Harvester Talbot Green - Pontyclun

Staff work so hard as it’s always busy and never seem to be enough staff! It’s looking a bit run down in there now the seats etc are all ripped, and the menus are always dirty. Food always fresh and hot and service is always as good as it can be with the staff they have on, especially considering how busy it always is! Jess stands out for me as she is always smiling :

Seated quickly, starters were quickly served and was fine. Garlic mushrooms for me and garlic bread for my bonus daughter. Mains; salmon and dill fishcakes and chicken fillet burger. Took at least 20 mins after finishing our starter to arrive and could see it waiting to be served on the top of the cooking area for 10 mins of the wait. So let me start with my fishcake meal, peas were cold, chips were just cooked but not nice at all and the fishcakes burnt on the outside and the flavour was not what I would expect of a fishcake sort of had a soap taste. Really odd and didn't get eaten. My step daughter same feedback on the chips and the bacon that came with the burger was dry. She just picked at it and said oh I am done with this. Skipped desserts and left. Paid the 31 pound bill and off we went. Won't visit again!

Staff are lovely. Food is ok. Certainly good value and good enough even if it isn't like a good quality independent. It's really loud in there so be warned but as long as you're OK with that enjoy the night

Decent fish and chips. Food arrived in good time for dinner service. From finishing it took over 30 minutes to pay for the bill.

Popped in on a Sunday with no reservation. The staff were able to find me and my partner a table. The food was great, the atmosphere was nice and busy and the staff were super friendly.
