    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.

    We had booked in for Sunday lunch as we were staying in Harrogate for a birthday weekend away. Everything was outstanding, service and food. I also received a complimentary glass of wine as I was celebrating my birthday. The food was some of the best I have tasted and was amazing value for money. Will definitely return

    Very small portion starter, octopus salad, was lovely but not value for money, excellent rib eye steak. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff.

    Everything was great. We went with pub food, but it was upscale and tasty. Service was exceptional, and ambience in the dining room was good - not too noisy (unlike the popping bar area). Fun place to eat!
