Harvester Crooked Billet Bromley 286 Southborough Lane, Keston BR2 8AA

"I’ve had really tasty plant burgers here but today’s review is based on my Christmas Day lunch in 2022. I’ve visited this venue for Christmas lunch every year since 2016, aside from the year we were locked down, and it’s such a shame to see the food go downhill so much. The staff are really friendly and it’s proved to be good value for money in the past. Today really was a disappointment. All portions were really small, compared to the veggie options we’ve had in the past, with several accompaniments sadly lacking. Compare the first picture from a few years ago to the second one, taken today. The veggie/vegan menu never really changes (making it a bit boring) so I always order the vegan bake which normally tastes like delicious vegetarian stuffing. This year I was served what looked and tasted like a burnt, dry, veggie burger. No parsnips or carrots, a tiny helping of gravy, and despite asking for my meal to be reheated, it was still stone cold. Potatoes were rubbery on the outside and raw on the inside and there was a really long wait in between the starter and main. Maybe our dishes were left lying around to go cold and dry? But the portion size and lack of variety, flavour and taste in general was such a let down and I’m afraid we won’t ever return on Christmas Day."

"After a Christmas Shopping trip to Bromley, we decided to take the kids to Harvester for lunch. Our server was Lorna, and she was fantastic. Friendly and accommodating; always checking if we were okay and enjoy the food. The food was excellent with portion sizes perfect (huge). As a vegan, I was a bit apprehensive at first about what would be available. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection available and, blown away by the taste! We were also impressed with the kids menu and the variety available to them. Over all an outstanding experience! Thank you, crooked Billet Harvester and, thank you Lorna our wonderful server."

"Nice place with good atmosphere. Polite helpful staff, unfortunately everyone’s including children’s food was way over fried, either or oil was old. Attached photos how dark it was and tasted dry, no taste of chicken just oil. New on menu side dish j Jalapeño cream cheese same bad. Sorry for chefs but way…over cooked. Salmon was okay. Thank you. Children enjoyed the place and salads were nice."
