    The Bar was not staffed on arrival and so not very welcoming however, when we found someone the staff member was very helpful in finding us a table and bringing our drinks over to the table. The food was pleasant we all had the chicken skewers. There were plenty of guests and so the ambience was good. Would go back.

    We made a booking and also confirmed following an email reminder. They had lost it and staff member wasn’t apologetic and just waved us into next room to find our own table if we could be bothered. We decided to stay as were interested to try it. Food was decent so that’s the best thing about our evening. Very few staff so we left fairly sharply after meal. So many good places in Harrogate I’m not sure this place will survive if they don’t get their act together.

    We booked in advance and on arrival we were impressed with the smart interior of the Barking George and were pleased to be shown to a quieter dining area than the main bar. The selection of drinks was very good. Unfortunately the main course that both my husband and I chose were unavailable! No pie of the day at 6.30pm!!!! No venison steak either. My fish was overcooked and my husband's portion of burger and chips was underwhelming. The young waiter was friendly and wanted to please. We had a much better experience the next night at the Knaresborough Inn, in another Inn Collection pub.

    I had the minted lamb burger which was dry, there was one tiny piece of lettuce and one small slice of tomato. It was advertised as a brioche bun, but it came on a ‘dry as a bone’ huge bread bun. The vegan options were limited and a friend had tempura veg which was not tempura batter and was tasteless. He had to ask for more dip as it was a minimal portion. All in all a very disappointing meal and we will not book to eat here again. The drinks service at the bar took ages, there was quite a queue.

    Ambience lovely. Very busy and bustling. Seemed a little understaffed at times. Food average , a little overpriced, however it is in Harrogate.
