    A Brief History of Harvester

    Harvester restaurants was first founded in 1983 by Courage Brewery with the aim of bringing freshly prepared and delicious food to a family-oriented atmosphere. Morden was the location of their first outlet and over the years they have added another 219 restaurants. In 1995 on July 21st, the company Bass bought up 78 Harvester restaurants for a total of £165M. As the majority of establishments were located in the south-east, Bass planned to rebrand other pub restaurants as Harvesters, but it divested its brewing division by 2000 and therefore the chain was running by a renamed company - Six Continents - from 2003.

    Mitchell & Butlers took over the chain of Harvester restaurants in 2003 and at the time there were a total of 127 restaurants. By 2012 the number had ballooned to 200.
