    Lovely setting inside the White Hart hotel! Food and ambiance was great. Especially recommend the Ox Cheek Ragout which was outstanding! Perfect for an afternoon lunch on a dreary day.

    1st time visit to the Fat Badger and wasn’t disappointed at the quality of food and service . My wife and I booked a table as we were going to the theatre and we made an excellent decision. Definitely worth a another visit when we call into Harrogate later in the year.

    Excellent location, a great spot for a family get together, good food, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter was second to none he did well with the challenges of serving a large group with age ranges from 22 to 84 and their demands. All done with professionalism and a touch of humour. Would recommend a visit as a good variety of food to suit all tastes as well as good quality. We had a great evening which set us up for the next day which was the special reason why we were visiting Harrogate.
