    The Sunday roast is excellent, generous and very tasty portions. The service is also excellent and we have found this and the quality of the food to be consistent on every visit. Would definitely recommend.

    Lovely pub. Good eating area with good service. We shared a Chateau Briand and it was excellent. Stayed overnight and room was clean and comfortable. Pub convenient for centre of Harrogate.

    Fantastic Food, we opted for the Chateaubriand main course which was cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic. The other highlight was the risotto with the darkest yolk I have seen absolutely delicious.
