Askwith Arms in Harrogate

We were very happy to celebrate the re-opening of pubs on the 17th May. And the Askwith Arms did not disappoint. Everything was NORMAL!!!! the lovely staff made as very welcome and served us good beer wine and food.

We popped in for a drink and snack on the first day after lockdown. We had starters with chips and it was all very nice. the staff were really nice, quick and friendly. Even the weather just about behaved itself. the outside area has a nice view across the valley though with no patio heaters or cover you are slightly at the mercy of the weather. Very VERY nice though. We'll definitely be back.

Thank you John.. Jane and staff for the most amazing lunch..mum and I had the most fantastic day...food was amazing as usual..

Myself and partner decided to try the Askwith Arms on Sat evening for his birthday, I really wish we hadn't wasted our money, we both love our food and was excited to be going out for a meal, we arrived on time for our booked table at 5.30pm and we're seated at our table and was given menus and asked what drinks we would like, it was a basic menu but decided quickly what we both wanted as we had missed lunch so we were both quite hungry, it took about 20 mins for the waiteress to then come take our food order, we then waited a further 50 mins for our starters to come out, I had garlic mushrooms on bruscheta, my partner had farmhouse pate, the garlic mushrooms were luke warm, 3 small pieces of bruscheta which were waffer thin, with maybe 10 pieces of chopped mushrooms on, it was very bland, if i wasn't so hungry and thought I wasn't going to wait so long I would have sent it back, when the starters were brought out to us we had no cutlery, we asked for some, for the waiteress to then go straight to another table at the side of us and proceed to take their order (we did then say to her we were waiting for cutlery), did also complain when our starter plates were cleared away, so then the mains arrive 40 mins later, I'm then hopping that surely you can't get sausage and mash wrong, oh it seem you can, the mash was very clearly microwave mash, it's not difficult to tell, the consistency and taste was obvious, the three sausages and very small amount of garden peas were ok, but mash wasn't, I certainly do go out to pay the price we did for microwave mash, my partner had prawn lingene and said it was OK, in amoungs the time we waited it was the same on other tables, watched two couples come in and be seated to then wait 30 mins for a menu to be brought over to them, we had our plates cleared and asked for a dessert menu, waited about 15 mins for the waiteress to take the menu out of the hands of a customer and give it straight to us, I would have thought in the current situation with covid that the plastic menus would get wiped down with antibacterial spray, dessert arrived chocolate fudge cake and was nice but expensive at £5.95 for a small slice. It was quite busy but with people that had already eaten and were sat getting merry,table of 6 lads where having quite a few rounds of shots being taken over when they probably shouldn't have been still in there drinking as we were told you have a 2 hour time limit that you had to stick to. Took us 2.5 hours because of how long we had to wait, even the landlord was asking customers what table number they were whilst coming out with peoples food, a very expensive meal for poor service and food. Unfortunately I will not be reccomending eating at the Askwith Arms.

We love The Asquith Arms as our local pub for good food and great company. Ohn and Jane are stars and a good old fashioned proper pub landlord and landlady.

Chose this for Lunch on Wednesday, a scorching lunch hot afternoon. The outside areas were busy, but there was plenty of space in the much cooler, homely, dog-friendly snug inside.The landlady and her young service team ensure a warm and friendly welcome. There is a god variety of drinks available, including a couple of well-served real ales.The menu is balanced, interesting and relies heavily on local produce, in fact some of the meat dishes served had possibly walked in the adjacent fields! Local sausages, including a gluten-free hand tied version, and one of the best sirloin steaks I’ve enjoyed for a long time, with a full range of trimmings including real chunky chips. Presentation was excellent, and looked almost as good as it tasted.The only downside was that we were too well fed to sample the dessert range - we’ll remedy this next time.A little-known gem - a real country pub offering great food and hospitality. Highly recommended

I would like to thank all your lovely staff for the food and excellent service we received recently at my Grandmother's wake which we held here. We all sat outside on the terrace in the wonderful sunshine. Nothing was too much for them and accommodated our requirements perfectly. Food was second to none and staff were very efficient serving us at our tables. Lovely clean establishment, toilets were impeccable and keeping up with covid requirements to the latter. We will all be coming back, thank you again from all our family

Had a beautiful lunch today, sat in the sunshine on the Terrace. Fantastic service from warm and friendly staff. Just a lovely atmosphere, very relaxed and laid back. A perfect spot to spend a couple of hours over good food and great beer.

Mum and I had a beautiful time on Tuesday evening, our first meal out since the start of the year and we weren’t disappointed! My first visit here, and we heard the chef was new - well THANK YOU chef for the fresh and perfectly cooked plate of food (salmon and new potatoes) we would both highly recommend!! Thank you to Jane for such a warm welcome, and kind service all night even though we could see how BUSY the service was for you! But- so exciting to see a country pub filled with happy faces again! Side note- a stunning spot for sunset for any lovers of a changing Yorkshire sky!! See you again SOON!

There’s always a very warm welcome at The Askwith Arms. The home style pub food is excellent and the newly renovated sun terrace is a great place to spend an afternoon. John, Jane and the rest of the staff are very friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. It’s a proper pub, done properly.

A lovely warm welcome from the staff. Only stayed for drinks after a walk but felt so comfortable and relaxed in the beer garden. 5 * from us. Will definitely be back soon x

me and my parents come to the askwith arms all the time! john and jane are amazing and always accommodate to all of our needs! tom who has taken over as the head chef has really stepped up to the mark after been thrown into the deep end and what amazing food he has produced :) i would definitely recommend if you want a classic pub meal with a lovely pint or g’n’t

Booked at Askwith arms for tea tonight, what a lovely couple that run it and excellent staff.Abbey that served us was very professional in everything she did, the food was amazing couldn’t think of anywhere better to go beautiful setting and very friendly. Would highly recommend. Thank you

I love to write positive feedback on local restaurants and shops and leave lots of great reviews... however, we’ve just had the most disappointing meal at the Askwith Arms and I would hate for anyone else to waste any of their money going there. It was truly awful. I don’t know if it’s changed hands again but having an untidy ‘office’ in the corner of the restaurant, a white fridge next to the bar, selling cars whilst in the restaurant, the car park looks like they’re trading, 45 mins to wait for food to arrive, the wrong meals brought to our table and then removed and taken to the right table (luckily my children hadn’t touched them, but still I’m pretty sure this shouldn’t be happening), the restaurant feels unclean, no covid protocol in place, my daughters ‘penne pasta in tomato sauce with cheese on top’ was absolutely repulsive. They came and said it had been made ‘incorrectly’ and would take a further 10 mins to rectify. I said just send the garlic bread out whilst it’s cooked. We then got informed that ‘the chef’ had found a quicker way around it and it was sorted. It was brought out with what I am guessing was prawn Marie Rose sauce, mixed into her pasta the garlic bread was a whole meal bread roll toasted. Our beef roast dinner was lukewarm and the Yorkshire puddings were dry and crumbled when you cut into them... another table had been there nearly two hours and had only received their starters! Another couple left as they were so disgusted by what they could see around them. Honestly, it’s a total shame but the landlord / lady need to massively up their game if they want repeat business or a thriving business. For such a lovely village and setting, it was just horrible.

Lovely family pub tucked into beautiful countryside. Gorgeous views from the conservatory. Excellent range of options for vegetarians and/or vegans. My boyfriend had the whole hog burger and I had a halloumi kebab wrap - I was worried this would be a small portion because of the price but the waitress advised it’s just very good value, and she was right! Really lovely meal and a drink. Will be back.

Had a lovely experience! Both food and staff were amazing - highly recommend!! The outside area is perfect for sunny days!!

We stayed at a nearby Airbnb and ate here on both nights we stayed.The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. The pub a traiditional country pub, we had a dog so were in the snug.They've recently got a new head chef who spoke to us about the food, how it was cooked, what he liked to cook etc.The standard of the food is what you expect in a high end restaurant and I cannot recommend the Askwith Arms enough.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. Second time in the last few weeks and we would absolutely recommend. Great food, super tasty, great service and good value.

A group of twenty had our Christmas lunch here and what a lunch! It is now infamous in our group, a barometer against which all other eateries and food is measured because I challenge you to find worse. My nutroast was nutless, my bruschetta reminded me of mother’s pride slices white with flavourless slop, apparently the meat was tough and dry. Everything tasted microwaved, processed and cheap. So much food was returned to the kitchen untouched - they don’t seem to notice. No one wanted to make a big deal as the friend who had organised the meal was in tears. The look on the various recipients faces when presented with tinned fruit salad was memorable - I’m glad we had had a few drinks and have a sense of humour otherwise it would have been a tragic waste of money, effort and occasion. I have read the owners defensive responses/excuses so in advance, apologies for having not posted there and then - life got in the way.

Had been here a couple of years ago and felt a revisit was in order.Mistake.The outside, albeit beginning of March, was tatty and untidy and not very inviting and a precursor for the inside.Only 5 other customers (says something for wednesday lunch), the dining area was cold and unwelcoming. Having an 'office' and a fridge in the dining area takes up valuable usuable space and doesn't look good, not to mention (as the owner did) the dodgy electrics that meant the portable heaters didn't work.Partner asked for fish and chips with no skin on the fish, which is a given in this part of the world, only to be told that the chef(?) would not remove it!!!.Who rules the place, the chef, the owner ?, why can't the customer get what they want, only takes seconds to skin a fish.Our meal, when it came, was relatively tasty but was quite expensive for what appeared to be 'microwave meal' despite the owners insistance on their use of top quality fresh food. Frequent apologises didn't help matters.All in all a poor experience and the owners and staff are really going to have to up their game. I always 'tell it how it is' in my reviews as I find lots of places are charging premium prices and giving second rate service and getting away with it.I'll finish with a final thought, 'the customer is always right@.

Took the family of nine to Sunday lunch for my husband's 76th birthday. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was the best Sunday roast we have EVER had! We had two family members who are vegan and one vegetarian, who had a lovely choice of food, which makes such a welcoming change. The meat eaters said their lamb and chicken roasts were superb. Gravy and Yorkshire puds to die for. Everything outstanding. Not much room for puds, but we thought we would give them a try. Everything again just perfect. Full marks Askwith Arms, we will definitely be back.

Booked beforehand turned up shown to our table. Waitress came for drinks order then brought menu. I had lamb Sunday lunch which was absolutely delicious with a massive Yorkshire pud- very tasty. Hubby ordered fish pie and he said it was very good. Overall brilliant service - friendly landlord/landlady who went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Thankyou very much we will be back.

We visited the Askwith Arms for my mums 60th birthday and it was brilliant. Most of us had 3 courses ranging from soup, mushrooms, pate and prawns. I am GF myself so I had the pate which was really tasty with good quality GF bread. I had roast beef for my main (with a GF Yorkshire pudding) and gravy which was really good; others had the lamb, risotto and fish pie so many clean plated. The puddings were also fantastic, again GF for me which was treacle sponge with custard which I was really impressed by. The service was brilliant and the hosts really friendly. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!

We booked in advance and found the gentleman I spoke to really accommodating for our party of adults, kids and dogs as well as helpfully talking me through the many GF options (as well as DF , vegetarian and vegan) as we had 3 coeliacs with us. We called and asked if we could move our booking forward at the last minute and were told it wasn’t a problem at all.Given a warm welcome as we arrived and lots of care was taken to make sure the coeliacs understood their options. The food was freshly cooked, very tasty and the portions were generous. Everyone enjoyed their food and the only reason we didn’t finish every last morsel is because we were stuffed! The only thing small niggle was that it was very cold where we were sat so lighting the fire might be a good idea on colder days.We will be back soon and looking forward to eating out on the patio in the summer.

Went online to try and book a table for sunday 02/02/2020 and found that you had to ring up to book a table, so I ring up at just after 09.00 fully expecting it to go to an answer machine. To my surprise a lovely lady answered and took my booking. Me and a friend arrived and sat in the conservatory type bit. We ordered our drinks which came promptly. Our waitress then came back and took our food order and before we knew it the starters had come out Garlic & Chilli King Prawns and a Prawn Cocktail. Just look at the photos but even these do r so justice to how good these starters were. We were both over the moon. I would go as far as to say this was the best starter I had had in some time, and work in hospitality management in some of the finest food led hospitality establishments North Yorkshire has. This was just the pre cursor to our main meals which were roast lamb & roast beef. I was toying with the idea of ordering a large but when it came out I soon realised there was no need for that. The portion sizes were huge but very very tasty. I literally couldn’t finish my main. Despite two power cuts and them running out of my wine this was really the best Sunday lunch I’ve had in some time. The owner even took time to come to the tables in the restaurant and chat to everyone. First time and it certainly won’t be the last. Well done guy. Lovely little pub. If anything this places could be marked down for is or wasn’t warm inside in terms of the temperature. Log burner wasn’t on which for me was an opportunity missed, but still gets 5 stars. Get that log burner going for the next time I come.

My partner and I booked beforehand and we weren't disappointed, the food was amazing. My partner had 3 courses myself just the 2 each course was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere. We sat in the conservatory at the window with a lovely view. Waiting staff spot on, we will be coming again!

Myself and my partner visited the Askwith Arms on an evening and it was absolutely lovely. From the moment we walked in we were felt welcome and at home. The service was fantastic but the food was the best bit, it was amazing! I had 3 courses which I never normally do and all of them were spot on. My partner is a vegetarian and she was also impressed with the food and the options available. We will definitely be returning.

Myself & my family have been to the Askwith Arms a few times since it was taken over. The first time was lovely the owners did admit they were still learning and business was steady, the food was lovely and you could tell was freshly made.

We booked a table for Sunday dinner, unfortunately this wasn’t a very nice experience. The main meal was very nice in itself, however as soon as one member of our party finished eating, the waitress started clearing away our plates, leaving the two elderly members of our party feeling very rushed to finish their meals. There were only three full tables at the time we ate (including ours) yet the staff seemed very stressed, the manager came out announcing to the whole pub that he had been made to come out of his office to serve food!

We were a large party, which can be tricky, but the staff seemed to be in such a flap like they’d never served lunch before.

Booked a table for two on Friday night. The food was excellent - the best steaks we had had for a long time. Were told when we booked Friday night was quiz night and thought we would have left before it began. Stayed on out of curiosity and so pleased we did! What a treat! Brilliant quiz and such a friendly group of people. We were made to feel very welcome and will return. Thank you for a great evening.

We called ahead to book a table for two on New Year's Day, spoke to a lovely fella named Sam who booked us a table for 3pm.

Good value for money, very good service. Family of five had Sunday roast, food portions were excellent, waiting time minimum, service great.

We went to the Askwith Arms last Thursday with my 95 year old aunt,who lives nearby, for dinner. We hadnt visited since the pub reopened under new management.

The building and view from the conservatory are lovely but the place needs upgrading. Service was slow as there were staff who hadn’t gone in to work that day. The food was good. I had the mixed grill. Meat portions were big and I ended up taking a doggy box home. There was no atmosphere in the restaurant. The path and area around the entrance needs upgrading. The people running the place have not been in very long so maybe if they have a few more months to settle in and get on top of things it will improve. I hope so.

We celebrated my Mums 80th Birthday here this afternoon. This used to be an old favourite pub when I used to live in Leeds many years ago, so it was to revisit again. The views from the conservatory over Wharfedale and Ilkley Moor are stunning.

Scenic views, fabulous food and very friendly staff. Knowledgeable staff and quick service of wholsome delicious food. We all had different meals and all enjoyed them. We will definitely go again and can highly recommend it. You may need to book though, it was busy and is known in the area for excellent food.

We visited the Askwith Arms last Sunday and were shown to a nice table by the fireplace. There was only one other table occupied which should have rung warning bells! As should the unpleasant smell of frying that permeated the whole area.

A really friendly welcome from the staff who were keen to please. We visited as a party of 4 friends who get together every 6 weeks or so and were keen to give it a go. After several closures and reopenings we werent sure what to expect but enjoyed a great lunch yesterday. Its a pub we used to visit quite a lot but the regular closures meant we were never quite sure if it was open or not. Three of us had the garlic chilli prawns starter which were delicious and all had the beef stronganoff superb - so tender and a lovely favour.

We visited this pub to celebrate my mums 80th birthday yesterday. 16 members of my family enjoyed delicious food. My lamb shank roast dinner was up there as one of the best Sunday dinners I’ve had. As a group we had a range of food from fish and chips, seafood pasta, Hunters chicken and the aforementioned roast. Every meal was tasty, well presented and well worth the money. Being such a large group we had ordered our food ahead of the day so service was efficient and quick. The staff were polite and regularly checked if we needed anything without being over fussy (which I can’t stand).

We love this pub! We walked from Burley across the stepping stones on a fine sunny September day. We didn’t know what to expect from the Askwith Arms as we hadn’t been for a few years and the pub has new owners. What a treat we were in for. Delicious food, beautiful view from the terrace, and lovely owners and staff. Cannot recommend this pub highly enough.

Visited for evening meal with family who had wanted to visit due to the good Facebook reviews. We were not disappointed, landlord and landlady very friendly and welcoming, chef spot on all our food was lovely. I recommend the fish and chips, my brother in law had them and said they were probably the best he had had in a restaurant. Great to have a good food pub so close to home. We will definitely be back more often.

We have been here on numerous occasions and the food has been excellent, however we were disappointed on the last occasion as we took some friends for the first time, not with the food or service but with the additional charges for little extras that we had. One of my friends had the mussels in a superb sauce and asked for a roll and then a further one to soak up the sauce. We were charged 75p for each roll and then his wife asked for some additional sauce for her meal and this was charged also as an extra.

The choir that I am Chairman of wanted a venue for a private function. Although they have no function room, we were assured Monday nights were quiet and they normally didn't do food on a Monday. They provided us with an excellent value buffet in the evening - a few locals in, but they joined in anyway . New owners- good start

Called with my wife on Thursday evening . since the new owners have taken over this place is excellent ..Forget all you have read and heard about this pib it is now first class. The mussels were succulant the sauce excellent .My wife had salmon (wonderfull) I had a steak which was cooked to perfection. all the veg was fresh cooked.

Poor service long waits between courses, waitress forgetting things we had asked for. Waited ages for our starters think our order had not been sent to the kitchen. Once starters came they were then duplicated but missed off two of the starters, mains were fine, desserts took ages again to come and two of our party were still waiting for their desserts when others were half way through theirs. Had to remind waitress again as they had forgotten about water for table. Foods was nice once it came but just such long waits and I would not say the place was overly busy. Wanted to like it as had heard good reports but would think twice before going again. Staff was pleasant enough but think more front of house training is required.

For an off the beaten track pub like this it needs to become a destination venue to suceed and it's a long way off that. This pub has had a chequered history having been closed for a long while until reopening this year. The overall impression is that it needs a lot of money spending on it to modernise it's interior from its current dated dull dowdy look with a musty smell in some areas. I'm not sure the staff have much experience or training but they certainly dont exude professionalism and need to have a much better idea of their products than they seem to. Had drinks on a hot day but nothing about the place tempted me to think of ordering food nor was anyone else tempted based on the complete absence of diners. Like I say it's got potential.

We were a party of three, celebrating my partner's birthday with my son. We ordered our meals. My OH had liver and onions, my son a salad, and I ordered a chicken dish but without the barbecue sauce. When our meals came, I was the last to be served, and the person serving us apologised that 'I'm sorry, Chef has put barbecue sauce on yours, is that alright'......... I said 'No it isn't, I don't like it', but she still put it on the table. When she saw 'my look' she said 'If you don't want it I can take it back and make another one but it will take twenty minutes'. My son and my partner had already been served and I'd told them to start their meal, so I said I would keep it and remove the sauce, but it was absolutely smothered and it was impossible to find any of the dish which wasn't covered in it, so I ate very little. Personally I think as she'd obviously noticed when serving the dishes, she should have said something before carrying it over to the table - and started the process of re-ordering whilst still in the kitchen, then kept the other dishes back until mine was ready. A plain chicken breast, butterflied, shouldn't take twenty minutes to cook anyway!

My wife and I called in for lunch today; she had a small (child's) portion of the Sunday roast, I had the Yorkshire pudding wrap. She only has a small appetite and many establishments have been stuffy about her requirements but not so the good folks at the Askwith Arms. She thoroughly enjoyed her roast beef & Yorkshire pudding, and although I didn't quite know what to expect with the Yorkshire pudding wrap I was in for a treat: I'd requested turkey & beef in the wrap, which was with chutney, a generous side-salad and chunky chips to boot. We were made to feel welcome, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay today. I'd happily recommend the venue - tastefully refurbished - and every aspect of its wares and service. 10/10

Enjoyed our first visit here today. Whilst I feel some meals are expensive the ones we had we value for money.

We were in the area for a wedding and needed some lunch before hand. After seeing the Askwith Arms on the map we decided to go for lunch.

Went on a rainy Sunday lunch time and was surprised at how lovely the setting was. If your looking to try a Yorkshire pudding wrap I'd say give this place a go! Service was good and great value for money too.

Would like to thank Jane..Chefs and staff for the fantastic lunch mum and I had today...started with garlic mushroom on toast with a perfect side salad...then roast beef... everything cooked fresh...will certainly be returning...

This was the first time we had visited since the Askwith Arms reopened. The setting was beautiful on a sunny evening overlooking the fields & hills. The welcome from the landlady was friendly & our order for drinks & food was taken promptly. My husband had steak & kidney pie which was quite tasty but with very dense pastry not light & crispy as he’d hoped. My salmon was very nice but the hollandaisse sauce was congealed & the spinach frazzled as if it had been keeping warm. A nice evening out but could do better foodwise!

My wife and I ate here recently, and I must say, we found it excellent value and much better than we had expected. It seems the Pub re-opened at the beginning of 2019, having been closed for over a year.

We went to this pub for a run out and a casual drink or two during the Tour de Yorkshire to avoid all the commotion. We had booked to have Sunday lunch elsewhere, but after some encouragement by the staff in the restaurant decided to stay there instead.

This pub is a lovely place to visit. We came twice over our short break in Askwith and the owners were so welcoming both times. They have a range of food on offer and gorgeous views out over the countryside. There is ample parking too. We would very much recommend if you are in the area!!!

Askwith Arms is now back open, and what a lovely place for the nativity walk to end. Lovely tradition for Askwith Village.

as title, great news, it only opened a few weeks ago, so early days, but called in on xmas day for a few drinks, and John and Jane the new owners were very welcoming, and seem very keen to make a go of it, ( i should mention that they are not new to this game, and have many years experience, so fingers crossed for good things to come), as said its early days so no food at the moment, but is starting in the new year, also at the moment no land line or wi-fi, so no card machines in at the moment cash only, again coming in the new year, being a local at this pub, I am really pleased to see it back open, best wishes to the new owners in getting it back on its feet, I hope that more people will come back to this pub to support the new owners, good luck guys

i can now confirm that this establishment is now closed, (for those that are not aware) regret i have no further information, as to when and if it will re-open will keep people informed if i find anything out

Turned up on a Saturday night and it was fairly deserted. Took a table and waited ages for anyone to come and take our order...which was odd as there were hardly anyone else in. Had to ask to give our order in the end which wasn't a good start.

as title for those that may not be aware, with regret this establishment is now closing on Mondays and Tuesdays, and there are rumour's that it may well close under current owership sometime in September, stay tuned!!!!

Had lunch on Sunday, the food and surroundings were excellent. Wide choice of dishes on the menu and not just sunday roast.

Being a local at this pub, we decided to hold the father in laws, celebration of life after his recent passing on, as the in law I was a little worried that things would go well, and the kitchen and the rest of the staff did me proud, the buffet, and service from the staff was outstanding, would not hesitate to use again for a function, a big thank you to all the staff

Buen lugar para ir con hermosas vistas desde el restaurante.

Estábamos pasando de conducir y pensamos pop. Nos sentamos en el son donde daba a la campiña cercana, a tomar una copa. Decidimos comer. Yo probé el pollo kiev con patatas fritas en vez de puré y macizos que era preciosa, con ajo y no desprendía mi marido la hamburguesa con el casero relish, que era la mejor que había probado nunca el relish es, dijo que la hamburguesa era igual de delicioso. Sin duda volveremos, es agradable para tomar algo así como para comer. Hemos estado en ambas ocasiones antes y la envoltura de Yorkshire pudding es para morirse. Sigan el buen trabajo.

Habíamos visitado este pub una vez antes, y la comida era bastante buena. Sin embargo, esta noche nos decepcionó. Pudimos elegir nuestros cursos en el menú early bird razonable. Es el mismo menú como normal sin embargo dos campos son 13. 95 y algunos platos atraen a un suplemento. Cóctel de gambas que tenía para empezar que era básicamente unos langostinos en lechuga. En el menú Juego es razonable en 8. 95. Me habría decepcionado al haber pagado eso. Mi compañero tenía ajo y salsa de setas en Madeira, que él no disfruta. Para los platos principales pollo kiev tuvo que dijo era un poco seco. Chuletas de cordero eran cocinados mi a mi gusto. Fue un poco soso. Un poco como el tipo de cosa que puedes cocinar en casa con los ojos cerrados. Las chuletas de cordero también atrajo un suplemento al precio fijo. No estaba mal, pero no creo que vaya a volver a comer allí. El servicio era bueno. Nuestra camarera era muy encantador y no dejarla un buen consejo.

Volveremos otra vez, esta vez con un amigo para un buen catchup! Nos fuimos temprano en la noche durante la semana para aprovechar su oferta razonable Early Bird (2 platos por 13 libras. 95 antes de las 7 de la tarde) y no nos decepcionó. La vista era preciosa, vimos el atardecer y corderos en los campos como pedimos y comimos. Disfrutamos del delicioso pan inusuales y aceitunas, y luego tuve uno de los mejores pasteles de pescado que he tenido en mucho tiempo y mi amigo tenía el hongo hamburguesa con patatas fritas precioso tradicional. Compartimos un brownie de chocolate muy bueno para el postre. Toda la noche era preciosa, el personal era muy servicial y agradable y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Esto es un poco de un tesoro escondido de estar fuera en el campo, pero muy recomendable si están dispuestos a dar un paseo.

Estábamos pasando de conducir y a tomarnos una copa, porque el lugar parecía acogedor. No nos decepcionó. En la entrada nos debidamente recibidos por un miembro del personal de preguntar si estábamos de comedor. Una vez que respondió que sólo quería una bebida él respondió sin problema si puedo hacer cualquier cosa para que usted solo tiene que pedir. Mientras nuestra bebida vimos el menú y decidimos comer en este momento fue el cambio personal sobre pero no fue un problema para el estado miembro original o personal que estaba a punto de salir, nos lo solucionaron. La comida excepcional, y era servido fresco dentro de un tiempo adecuado y a un costo razonable. Bien merece una visita. Sin duda volveremos tiene este lugar también es perro amable, no tuvimos nuestro perro con nosotros en esta visita, pero quién sabe en el futuro.

Reservamos una cena con amigos. Estaba bastante tranquilo cuando llegamos, pero el ambiente era bueno y el personal era amable y acogedor. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa y permitió examinar el menú. Tarta del día fue el pollo, puerro y jamón y tengo que decir que fue estupendo. Puede decir que todo estaba recién preparado. Tuvimos algunas bromas buenas y me sorprendió ver que éramos los únicos a la izquierda por 10. 00 Sin duda alguna volvería otra vez.

The food was fine but the service left a lot to be desired. The restaurant was too brightly lit and even though there were four of us (so it wasn't a romantic atmosphere that we wanted) it just felt more like a cafe. It wasn't particularly busy but we had long gaps between courses and after our second course two plates were cleared away and the other two plates were left on our table for ages until I went to the bar to ask for them to be removed. By this time the restaurant was empty apart from us so there was no excuse for this lack of service. We were not asked if we would like a dessert so we asked for the bill and left. We left a small tip because we could not be bothered to wait for the change. Also, as is usual in most restaurants these days, the waiting staff began spraying cleaning products onto a nearby table whilst we were still eating. I don't want to smell cleaning products while I am eating. Front of house are letting down all the hard work done behind the scenes in the kitchens. Please give waiting staff some training. We won't be back.

We ( my husband and 10 year old gluten free daughter) and me visited this wonderful pub this evening for a meal after the other two had been cycling for hours and cold . I drove and was welcomed to a truly cosy and warm atmosphere and temperature to really pleasant staff . We were treated to a delicious Sunday roast and a gluten free roast for our daughter . Our daughter was very happy to learn that the gravy was gluten free!! To her delight she found out that she could have for desert a slice of gluten free vanilla cheesecake which brought the biggest smile of the day !!!! We will definitely be visiting again !!!! Happy children makes happy parents !!!

We've been here before and really enjoyed the food and the ambience. A particular favourite was the menu last mothers day, which we found excellent Value. Not so much our sojourn here on New Years day. The place was very quiet so there was little atmosphere must have used it all up on the celebrations the night before. There was a special menu (limited would be a better description) which I thought was quite pricey in comparison to previous visits. My dining companions reported the fish offering to be good as was the Steak Pudding, which was wholesome and hearty. I didn't even get a taste it was wolfed down. The vegetarian option also received praise. Not so the dish I and one of my companions plumbed for; the lamb cutlets. Which were not inspiring. Indeed the outside fat had not been cooked sufficiently and was pale and gelatinous and could have been warmer and tenderer. Maybe we'll leave it until the Summer before we return.

Came here yesterday, My family and myself had a wonderful time. The views from the conservatory are fantastic, the food and service superb we all had a lovely time and will be back soon.

Myself, hubby and all the family (12 people) went there for Christmas Day which was truly shocking. The soup was bland and tasteless, my Camembert melted cheese was "tough". Think it had been put in microwave so had not been melted but "cooked." My beef wellington was tough/overdone and had little or no pastry, the turkey was bland and tasteless and the pigs in blankets looked insipid and pale as if microwaved. The whole meal was appalling. My husband's daughter complained about the food and the fact that there was no running hot water in the toilets. She worked in the catering industry so knows it is illegal to serve food without it. We ended up paying for the drinks only as the meal was virtually inedible. This cost £65 each. We paid £10 deposit leaving £55 each to pay on the day. Awful meal and the staff seemed clueless over who had ordered what. Bibis in Leeds next year for us

I was recommended this place by a friend and was not disappointed. I regular visit the other pubs in the group, which are all outstanding, and was optimistic. I wasnt let down. The food and service were first class. Well done to all involved and will definately be returning.

We had tried to go for lunch at the Chevin inn which is always excellent but it was full and so we tried to give the Askwith a chance because its part of the same group. It was terrible! Grissly serloon sandwhich tastless turkey dinner including zero taste stuffing. Will never go back

Myself and 3 friends went for lunch today after a long walk. We all ordered the 'Festive Sandwich' that was advertised. We all ordered these at the bar which somehow took 20 minutes to do. There was 1 person serving and 2 others stood talking to each other when they could have been helping. The sandwiches arrived and they were absolutely shocking. The bread stale, filling was cold, no cranberry sauce, incorrect chips (chunky chips when asked for skinny fries), no pigs in blankets (although we were told this at time of ordering), no coleslaw when it's advertised with it on. These sandwiches are sold at £9.95 and it's daylight robbery. We were wanting to say something however not 1 member of staff came over to ask how the meal was. It's the first time I've had food at the Askwith Arms and it's safe to say I won't be going back anytime soon. From the lack of care and attention from the staff to the abysmal food and the prices, I would certainly not recommend to anyone.

We recently visited for a family Christmas meal and we all left with smiles! From the minute we walked in there to the minute the nice waitress wrapped up some leftovers for my dog, we were treat superbly! The staff wanted to be there, the food was fresh and cooked/served to perfection and all our needs were catered for! One of the best meals out I've had for a long time, even my grandpa cleared his plate! Many thanks to everyone for a great day, I wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend to friends

Had Lunch today, with my family for our Christmas get together, from going in to leaving, everything was first class, the young barman was so passionate about his job, pouring tasting glasses of the beers to make sure I got what I wanted, the waiting staff were superb, catering for our every needs, and the food was second to none, congratulations you have a quite magnificent chef, I requested my roasted sirloin of beef medium and guess what? It came medium, in other restaurants it would have come how the chef wanted, or more likely how the chef was capable of cooking it!The vegetables were cooked to perfection, my wife stopped me asking for a doggy bag for the ultimate roasties that were left, the gravy was world class and the Yorkshire puddings would take some beating. My wife had Turkey sliced thick which was fantastic, moist and flavoursome.There were 8 of us all ordering different things and I must say, everything from the homemade pate, to the soup, the homemade bread, the chutneys, the sea bass, the lamb, was first class.The pudding selection was extensive, I went for the homemade sherry trifle but the most went for Irish coffees and other specialty coffees and teas.The whole experience was absolutely fabulous thank you so much to Andrew, Caroline and their team for looking after us.

Visited after a walk around nearby Swinsty and Frewston resevoirs. Drinking water for dogs inside and out and dog treats on the bar.Fish and chips looked very good with generously sized portions.Has sea bass which was enjoyable, albeit that potatoes were undercooked.Premises quite chilly to start but warmed up later.Staff attentive without being overbearing.Fabulous views.

Was here to day with the lovely Ursula and our son, daughter in law and grandchildren for Sunday lunch.Well, it was only divine! I had a fantastic starter which was a salad with blue cheese, pear slices and walnuts with cranberry sauce. Wow, what a combination, a feast for the taste buds! Never had something like that before.The main course was the tenderest beef you could imagine with all the trimmings including a big gravy boat!The sticky toffee pudding with custard was yummy and I ate everything!The staff were lovely, efficient and attentive to detail. Chris, you have a gem of a restaurant, thanks!People, go there!

This place is less than five minutes away and over the last few years we have tried it time and time again and it always fell far short of it's sister establishment the Stansfield Arms. Tonight there were two of us and another table of four. The food was OKHowever, we could hardly hear ourselves speak due to loud and uncouth language emanating from the adjacent bar. Had we been in a bar that is the norm, but not in what purports to be a restaurant. They could very easily create a 'bar' by closing in the pleasant room with an open fire and separating the two. Sadly won't rush back

We have visited several times before and posted positive reviews, however we were very disappointed when we popped in for Sunday lunch recently. We were ignored by staff for 10 minutes, and despite the place looking half empty, no-one approached us or offered to seat us or provide menus, yet several members of staff walked right past us. It seemed as if staff were going out of their way not to make eye contact, especially the lady behind the bar who did not seem to be doing anything else. We ended up finding menus ourselves, but could only find a Sunday lunch menu with the only vegetarian option being a curry. This seemed a very strange option for Sunday lunch and most pubs and restaurants offer a more appropriate veggie alternative to the usual Sunday roast. We approached the lady behind the bar to ask if we could order from the usual menu, or could they at least offer another vegetarian option. Her response was quite rude and unhelpful, she reluctantly went off to make enquiries, but quickly came back and said no, that was the only option on offer. We left without eating and will be unlikely to return in the future. We had previously been impressed with the varied veggie menu, but on this occasion the menu was too limited - one vegetarian option is not enough. Also the attitude of staff was quite appalling - customer service was completely lacking. This was such a different experience to our previous visits that it has put us off eating here again. What a shame.

Staff were very friendly but meal terrible. Used to visit here a few years ago and the meals were very good. Visited for Sunday Lunch starters were very good but the main meal the Roast beef was as tough as rubber, vegetables had been re-warmed but all the meal and even extra gravy I asked for was cold. There was two couples sat near us and they both complained, we paid for the starters but not the main meal and certainly won't be visiting again

Not enough staff. Had to wait to get drinks then wait to order and food took a while. My seafood linguini was average but my wife said she enjoyed her fish and chips. Location good and views out of window very nice. You get plenty of time to admire.

Sunday lunchtime. Not too busy when we arrived but most tables were reserved. Attentive pleasant staff showed us too our table and took our drinks order. A good selection of drinks including guest ales.Sunday lunch menu plus daily menu to select from. Plenty of choice. Selected a starter and a main and both were very good. Will have to visit again.

My dog and I had finished a 6 mile walk and I was ready for coffee and a cake. Not easy to find anywhere in Otley until I stumbled on the Askwith Arms. Midweek early lunchtime. We were made very welcome on arrival and the dog friendly area is the nicest and most spacious I've come across in any pub, anywhere. No cakes on offer but I treated myself to a warm bakewell tart and custard with a coffee and it was delicious. The staff were really friendly and attentive. If you're walking or cycling in the Otley area you should check this place out. Looking forward to returning with the family for a traditional meal rather than a treat. What a find

This place is less than five minutes away and over the last few years we have tried it time and time again and it always fell far short of it's sister establishment the Stansfield Arms. Tonight a different place altogether. Without being able to put a finger on it but the whole ambience was lighter and fresher. The fog was excellent as was the service. Now top of our list and return we will.

Food and location are very good, however finding the road, it is on the north side of the River Wharfe, needs some effort if you are not familiar with the area.My choice of Fish and Chips was very tasty, and even though I had chosen the smaller-sized version, there was sufficient to satisfy my diet-hungry tummy.Well worth the effort to find and dine. Lovely surroundings (it is Yorkshire and "Gods Own Country" is justified) and very good food and service.

Plenty of table choices for varying size of group from a meal for two to a family outing. Generous portions, good value and tasty food. Staff friendly and open everyday too.

My Husband has travelled past this pub loads of times recently when he was working in Ilkley and has always wanted to try it and today we got chance. We called in about 1.45pm on the off chance of a table as we hadn't booked and we were immediately warmly welcomed and seated in a lovely little 'snug' area at the front of the pub , the conservatory dining area looked lovely too , with gorgeous views across open countryside but was already more or less full with other diners which is always a good sign. After studying the extensive menu I chose the fish and chips and the old man had 'pie of the day' which was Lamb and Apricot and deemed delicious. My fish and chips were lovely but absolutely massive, I think I'd ask for a smaller portion next time !We found the standard of food very good and good value for money, the pub itself is lovely in a beautiful setting with a pleasant outdoor seating area too. The staff are very efficient and friendly, they were particularly kind to an elderly couple sat near us as the wife had mobility difficulties. We will definitely be back again, but my only slight complaint, and other reviewers have mentioned this too, are the crater like potholes in the car park which I had to negotiate whilst my Husband screamed like a demented Banshee at me from the passenger seat as he's only just got his new car and didn't really fancy me buggering the suspension just yet ! That aside, everything else is wonderful !

A group of ten were going to the Askwith Arms for dinner but a previous experience, a read of other reviewers, and poor menu choices changed our minds. We went somewhere else.

Ten of us ate lunch to celebrate a birthday. The service was quick and courteous. Good pub food in enormous portions.Friendly atmosphere.

I used to visit this pub when it was the black horse. It closed down. But that made way for a new start, The Asquith ArmsSituated in the idilic village of Asquith. The views from the large beer garden at the rear are fantastic.The pub has character, olde world meets smart light and airy restaurant , at the side of the main bar area, again with great views through the large windows looking out to the side and rear.The beer is well kept and tastes great. Tim Taylors Landlord hand pulled, and a guest beer.A good selection of draught largers and a draught cider.The early bird is great value. You get to choose off the main menue, you are not restricted to an inferior early bird menu.£12.50 for a starter and main, or you can choose the main and a sweet.I had fish cakes to start, excellent cooked on site, not bought in and warmed up. Main was 3 sausages on 3 mash beds ,great taste satisfying .My partner had the pie of the day which was chicken and leek with chips and peas or mushy peas.The chips were amazing large , more of a roast potatoe texture. Great walks via foot paths and bridleway from Burley, so no need for the car.Large carpark at rear, good access at rear for less able people.The staff are friendly and make you feel at home straight away.We will be back again soon.

"BEWARE COELIACS"I visited Askwith Arms today with friends for lunch.I am a Coeliac which is a serious medical condition, I cannot eat anything with gluten or wheat in.So I telephoned them to make sure they could cater for me, and yes they had a GLUTEN FREE MENU.I asked for the menu, and noticed listed was "CHICKEN PIE & SAUSAGE AND MASH" I decided to have the sausage and mash , I asked the Waitress if this was gluten free, she checked, and said it wasn't neither was the chicken pie !!!! Yet these dishes were listed on the GLUTEN FREE MENU!!I have been Coeliac for a long time and always check before I eat anything, yet some newly diagnosed person might have trusted them and eaten this, they would have been very ill.How can this be right, especially with the new law that has been introduced.I ended up eating chicken and potato in a over flowing dish full of salty gravy, it was dreadful.Other places can cater for us why can't you?So please Coeliac's be very careful if you decide to go here, I won't be going back that's for sure.

I was a little worried having read the last couple of reviews but we went for an evening meal on a Wednesday night. The staff were friendly and helpful the food service was excellent and the food was delicious. I will be visiting again.

Very disappointed. Visited one Tuesday lunchtime and only one other table occupied. Both had the pie of the day which was fish pie. Obviously pre made up and microwaved. Pie was luke warm, very dry with little sauce, although fish plentiful. Vegetables were so al dente that they were 95% raw and cold.Had understood that place had been refurbished. Was no different from our last visit to the Black Horse over 5 years ago. Needs total redecoration and new carpet, and car park a pot hole hazard.Don't be fooled by the daytime number of cars in the car park. Staff told us these were teachers cars from nearby school.One good point was the friendly staff, but will not return

We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate Fathers Day. The roast beef dinner was very disappointing, meat was not tender, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes had been standing along time and were cold, also the vegetables were sad.The steak pie was a good choice, I had mashed potatoes instead of chips, but these were very disappointing, also cold. We ordered sticky toffee pudding for dessert, it came without the butterscotch sauce, this brought later when we complained.!! We visited here a few weeks ago and we were very pleased with the food then. It is delightful area and a lovely venue in good weather, pleasant staff surroundings.

I have just been to the Askwith Arms with a party of seven. We were all very pleased with our meals but had to wait so long for service then for our meals to arrive. More waiting between courses and for our final coffees. It made you nearly want to give up! It wasn't that busy for a Saturday night. When you are seated at the table close to the back door/conservatory it is quite irritating to constantly hear/feel the vibrations of the door banging to a close!
