For one Aussie reporter, her first trip to the classic British eatery included plenty of surprises, though they weren't all positive Love it or hate it, Harvester is a cultural institution. With hundreds of restaurants across the UK, you'd be hard-pushed to find a local who hasn't been lured in by the promise of the salad bar at one time or another. Enter: Billie Schwab Dunn. The Daily Star's resident Aussie, Billie has been testing out all sorts of British cuisine for the first time and sharing her insights. Daring, brave, and in for a treat, the foodie has tested everywhere from Pizza Express to Greggs. But what would she make of family-favourite Harvester? Read on for her review of a recent visit to an Ilford-based restaurant. Billie said she was 'instantly impressed' at the start of her visit. "Not only did I appreciate the cottage-like interior and exterior but as I walked in I was met by a lovely server by the name of Diana, who was an absolute star throughout my entire dining experience," she explained. "Once she took me to my table she talked me through the menu. She was incredibly helpful, steering me away from the garlic bread (she said it was 'a bit dry') and suggesting I try the vegan nachos for my starter instead. For the main, I opted for the chilli non carne (I appreciate the name play, as it was vegan) which Diana recommended. I said I would try to opt for the three-course lunch deal because with the price of £13.99, how could I not? "It also included free unlimited salad at the salad bar – and as someone who had no idea they even had a salad bar, this was incredible news." So, what did Billie think of her grub? "Walking around the salad bar I felt like a kid in a candy store and my friends all seemed to be wooed by it too," the reviewer wrote. The first-time diner was less impressed with her starter, however. "Is it sacrilegious to serve store-bought salsa? Yes. Could I make it better myself? Ye){kind=link}
