"This isn 't Leigh On Sea, Its Leigh Lancashire. I 'm usually one to sing their praises, but not today. Going downhill, as I am a bigger bloke, i.e.: obese, pleasantly plump etc whatever you prefer to make you feel better about being overweight, when I can afford it, treat myself to the Unlimited breakfast, which as I type, is still listed on their respective websites etc. Upon arrival, the usual staff weren 't there, but one lady was especially unhappy looking, not the usual greeting I 'd been known to expect, seemed extremely disinterested, no doubt demoralised by the changes at Harvester. So after the 'whatever ' attitude, I went to my usual preferred table, and a lady with glasses waited on, and was rather helpful. She explained that the Unlimited breakfast was a thing of the past, and claimed it was because it took too long for the kitchen staff to make, and everything now was an added cost extra... We all know its a cost cutting exercise and the lady freely admitted that not many people we happy about it, and footfall for breakfast had decreased. I ordered the nearest equivalent, a pre-set menu breakfast, cheekily at the same price as the unlimited and it took longer than it used to take for the Unlimited. So that shows you the reality of what is occurring. also the clientele, not ever being the best, seems to have slipped too, Regrettably i wont be reattending after all these years, as the Hungry horse on the same retail park still do unlimited breakfasts cheaper too. Penny wise, pound foolish springs to mind with the Harvester management."
