Be Lean for Halloween with Slimming World

I've not been to the Exeter harvester in a while but the last time I went it was awful! I'm assuming it's improved? I heard they've had a refurb or something but wasn't sure if the actual food and service had improved or not because I do like a harvester!

Morning all

Happy to report in with a loss of 1lb, which takes my total weight loss to 3 and a 1/2 stone. :j

Beanie - Dash is available at Debenhams too, and their online service is very good, so if you haven't got one locally you can always order it and it doesn't cost you if you have to send it back as they have free returns.

Flutterby - just saw your comment about Harvester and I did think the options for veggies weren't very good. They used to do baked butternut squash filled with roast peppers with a cheese topping which was really nice. I noticed in the sides section that you could have a 'big salad' for £3.99, and I wondered if that was the cost of the salad bar if you didn't have a main meal. I have a veggie friend and I know from experience of eating out with her that options can be very limited, she eats fish, but otherwise its often pasta or quiche and the protein element is nearly always cheese.

Have a good day everyone, good luck with your weigh ins. I'll check back later for the chart.

Yesterday was the first day open following the refurb and I've only been there once before so it was difficult to remember how it was, but the building looks very nice, they've improved the salad bar area so the bread, dressings and toppings are all in a separate section.

Service was a bit slow - DH was really thirsty and was hoping to get a drink asap, but we'd been seated for at least 10 minutes before the waitress came to take our order and then she forgot to bring him a glass! The food was ok - my jacket potato had really tough skin, I think it had been in the warmer too long, and DH's chips weren't very nice but everything else was fine.

I love the salad bar, they had loads of speed salad and it was all fresh: lettuce, beetroot, gherkins, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions and carrots. I also had pineapple, couscous and olives (not speed or free, but not too many syns).

I think that was always the issue for me. Service is always incredibly slow even when the place is dead!
I think I was sat down once for about 15-20 mins before even a drink order had been taken once. I always get disappointed so I think I'll avoid. I'll just go to the Bridgend one when I go home to see my mum!

Well done to those with losses!

Last day today, gotta be out of the hotel by 12 tomorrow. Gotta get a taxi to the bus station, get a bus back to Marrakech (about a 4 hour drive. Ugh). Then fly home. I'm dreading the food shop I have to do when I get back and I'm pretty sure I've left some milk in the fridge. That'll be nice and gone off when I get back lol xx
