Coach and Horses in Harrogate

such a lovely place to have drinks. we went for the comedy night and really enjoyed it. staff are amazing and very reasonable prices. special mention to a young ginger girl who was on the bar. she made me and my friends feel so welcome and seemed to know the bar and system so well even though it was her second day. she made conversation with us like we were friends and indulged our long winded stories. she gave us amazing drink recommendations and made the experience 10 times better. unfortunately i can’t remember her name as it was unusual but she definitely deserves the credit. i would definitely come again and give her the praise in person

I was out with a group of friends on Friday when one of them fainted. It wasn’t the bar prices I can assure you. It was an undiagnosed medical condition. Straightaway the bar manager, Chris, came to help. He called for an ambulance and took control of the situation. I find it very reassuring that, beyond the friendly and warm reception from the bar staff, there is another level of professionalism. Chris has obviously had training for this kind of situation and dealt with it in his stride. I would like to say a big thank you. Stewart.

Quiz night was busy, complimentary pie upon entering quiz. Nice beer and quiz was fab standard.

Renamed the sleigh and reindeer or similar! Very cute. Lovely place, friendly staff, excellent food, good choice of food and drink.

Sunday lunch in bar area today. Food and service excellent. Very busy and highly recommended

Fantastic dinner along with a few pints. As always, the service was excellent and the food was brilliant. A Christmas pie! My first Christmassy dinner of the year and it was spot on. Chris and Megan were on the ball as always. The Coach is going from strength to strength. What a great venue and what a fantastic team! Thank you! 😊

My Porcheta Sunday lunch was mostly fat.and the roast potatoes were old.my desert treacle tart the pastry was burnt! Not a good experience and not worth it.

Lovely friendly atmosphere & great food!

Great pub with great service. Only popped in for a quick refresher at lunch, but really clean place and nice atmosphere.

Hi all. Booked this as it was on the top list of places / restaurants/ pubs to visit in Harrogate. Downstairs is the main pub which is 99% drinking which is fine. Managed to eventually grab a table for pre diner drinks. All good so far expect that there was only 1 person on the bar and he was also clearing the glasses away which meant several people were waiting for drinks. Dell the bar person was great despite being run off his feet. Poor management and staffing from the company here. Went upstairs for our meal and the place was dead and I mean dead. The chap bless him Neo had worked a 14 hour shift and was cleaning the pub before it opened. This is simply crazy that staff are put under this pressure when they are so customer focused. Lovely team of 2 but we asked to leave as the toilets were appalling too. The manager knew that but simply run off his feet. I’d put pics on here of the loos but it’s not worth it to spoil anyone’s meal if they decide to visit. Shame that these companies put pressure on their staff. Cleaners, bar staff and restaurant managers plus waiters all in one. Not good enough. Good luck dell and neo I hope the management see this and change things.

Coach is back this time as a buzzing place to be with character again. Reasonable prices too.

What an outstanding venue for hospitality and food, the staff have always gone above and beyond to be friendly and accommodate, the beer is kept very well and the food is homemade, good value, and delicious, highly recommend it.

Best pub in Harrogate by far. Ok They got it slightly wrong with the first attempt , however they listened and revamped With a proper bar . What a superb gesture of half price drinks every single day from 4-7.

lovely cosy pub with very friendly staff and amazing food. Staff can’t do enough for you, so helpful and friendly. The food is 10/10 (we had Sunday roast) it really does live up to ‘best Sunday lunch in Harrogate’ Very dog friendly, there are dog bowls AND beds for our furry friends. Dogs are made a fuss of. Very well priced for the quality of food! Highly recommend

Steak & Ale pie was lovely, ordered the Eton Mess dessert & sent it back, ( tiny meringue pieces, looked liked strawberry jam & a tiny blob of sweet cream) had the treacle tart instead but that wasn't great, (no treacle!) not a great deal of choice unfortunately.

This real ale hostilery near harrogate Town Football ground serves a great range of real ales * There are at least 6 handpumps always on* This bar has a good clentele and also serves food Beer is a bit pricy but still one of Harrogate s best real ale establishments Good clientele and bar staff are also good Saturday 28th September 2024 This good real ale pub I visited again This pub is a very good old-fashioned style boozer The beers were good 4 hand pumps on, and staff and locals were very nice I would use this real ale pub again when in Harrogate

No food eaten, staff were friendly and had gsoh, good range of drinks and comfortable atmosphere

The Wagyu burger was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Paired it with great ale that hit the spot. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. Highly recommend.

Had white bate and skinny fries lovely and a couple of nice pints of ruby ? Service good staff friendly if ever in Harrogate would come again

I came in for fish and chips and English beer. I was not disappointed. They sat us upstairs. The service was amazing and the beer and food was great.

Its prob worth if you're coming for a Sunday dinner. I went on a Sat using my harrogate voucher. The white bait was lovely but I was let down by the main course.

Lovely place, Great staff, serves great fish and chips, 50% off drinks from 4.oclock bargain, the staff are warm and welcoming, very friendly place if your visiting Harrogate this is the place to go 10/10

We had a few pints in the pub over our 3 day visit to Harrogate, very friendly, Neo gave us good tips about where to visit👍

Beautiful food, Great staff, lovely pub,, would highly recommend this place if your visiting Harrogate for day, will definitely be going again, we had fish and chips it was excellent, staff very helpful and friendly worth a visit 👍

Sunday lunch absolutely nothing to complain about the beef was served pink just how we like it the pork was great good portions just asked for more gravey which wasn’t a problem came in minutes lovely view of our beautiful stray lovely lunch would definitely recommend plus harry our waiter was was great 👍 well done we will be back 💯

Over on holidays from N. Ireland, been staying in Harrogate for 4 nights. After looking online we thought we would try here for dinner. So glad that we did. The food was amazing, the young waiter and waitress were very friendly and attentive and a lovely seating area upstairs away from the bar. Would definitely recommend this pub.

We ha the 2 course Sunday lunch, both roast beef, a generous portion of rare beef with roast pots, cauli cheese, cabbage, peas, mashed carrot and swede served with a yorkie and gravy DELICIOUS. The staff were friendly and attentive, a lovely experience all round.

Great little place for a coffee and unwind. Clean place. Toliets clean. Out look across the green. Parking easy and cheap.

Improved bar location, nice ambience (on a Thursday evening) and half priced drinks brought back some great memories when it used to be the best bar in town.

As a group of colleagues we walked into the pub on spec and seeing how crowded it was thought we would not get a table. However the team created a table for us in the upstairs dining area. The food was superb and great value, 2 of us had the steak frites which is highly recommended. Key was the excellent service.

Refurb has worked, and current half-price drinks offer is certainly bringing in the customers - long may it last.

The refurb is an improvement but the peroni lager is awful, how is it possible to screw that up?

Great food and service. Looking forward to what they do with the refurb this summer

Very poor , fish pie ... tiny definitely not worth the £19.50.. most definitely a compleat rip off.. The staff are very nice shame about the food £50 for two meals with one drink each.. Do not recommend...

Fantastic spot in main walk into Harrogate. Plenty of space inside and upstairs … lovely staff

The food was fine but the service was poor on the Saturday lunchtime about 12 of us visited. Mainly because I asked if they could prepare and bring my 1 year old son’s food out first, because it would take some time to cool down and infants aren’t known for being patient. Wait staff agreed but then brought it out last, a good 15+ minutes after others had received their mains. Even if the instruction was forgotten, I don’t understand why they would prepare a child’s meal last, seems pretty careless to me. After they brought the meals out they disappeared entirely, no offers of condiments, I had to go up and wait at the empty bar for someone to appear. Plenty of us were having chips, burgers etc so this also should have been obvious. Seemed like they were not interested in working.

Nice pub didn't eat here but the food looked lovely

We were recommended this place. The staff looked after us all the way through, topping up water getting additional drinks. The fish and chips were spot on. Plenty fish. Also the fish pie was packed full of fish. Would recommend

Very good food and friendly personell. Nice Place to dine in Harrogate

Great Service. SHANNON, thank you. Great food. Reasonably priced. We were there Easter Sunday 2024. 4 of us.

Mothers day menu, assume standard Sunday lunch. Prawn cocktail starter unimpressive, small prawns laid on a cos lettuce leaf with a plop of sauce, average.... Korean chicken starter was tastless , take aways do it better and cheaper. Mains of Sunday roast, beef was good thinly sliced and nice perfect cut, yorkshire pudding excellent, veg was was junk, roast potatoes had prolonged sat under the heat lamp vibe, dull with not crispness. Getting our waitresses attentention was difficult, bar not stocked with the full wine menu. average to say the least, £450 later for y, not terrible but easily better to be had.... would not return

Excellent service. Food was great. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Board games for us and our daughter and lots of attention for our dog.. the beef roast was incredible. It's not the coach of old but still a lovely afternoon! The staff were really lovely.

We have been eating here for many years and we will continue to do so, highly recommended. There is a very friendly customer and staff team, the service and the food is excellent, also with a good wide range of menu choices.

Mmm? It's a clean and tidy pub. Music was ok, but just a few people in there to listen to it. It's not as good as it was before the refurb.

Trying to find a warm spot to sit on a cold night but warm with cold draughts presumably caused by the stairs in the middle of the room . Imitation of a pub that doesn't know whether to be a dog friendly restaurant or a pub . West Park owners have failed in resurrecting what was one of the best pubs in Harrogate . Quiet and sad .

Not been in here for a drink since the revamp & I loved it. Fab interior & great staff.

Visited last night for dinner and a drink with the family. The atmosphere was brilliant, cosy and not too loud. Plenty of space between tables and dog-friendly. The food was incredible. The vegan shepherds pie was one of the best I’ve tasted and the delicious deserts were an added bonus. We enjoyed the variety of board games to play - a nice little touch to create a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Very good Sunday lunch. Speed of service was excellent. Attentive staff on hand.

We went for an early dinner and as it was between Christmas and NYE it was quite a limited festive menu. Two of us had the steak & ale pie which was fab; the other dishes were less successful. Servers lovely, will be back for another visit to check out the regular menu.

Manager rude! Service staff lovely. The Manager switched the main lights on at 10pm & put his coat on to make it clear he wanted to go home & told his Service staff to hurry us up! It was only 10pm! We were the only people left in the bar but still early & inconsiderate & poor customer care. He clearly has a bad attitude & should not work in hospitality!

Visit only for drinks. Quiet, warm comfortable and friendly. Could have been tempted to eat but xmas menu...in early Jan? little expensive for us.

Excellent Christmas eve dinner!

We used to love this place before it closed (sometime during 2021?) We’ve not been back since it reopened and what surprise - a major renovation has transformed this place and it looks chic and upmarket but still comfortable and cosy. The food was fantastic - I had the steak pie and my husband had sea bass and mussels and both were great. Another plus is the staff - we were served by the main bar man (possibly the manager/owner?) Really friendly, professional and helpful too. The upstairs was being set up for an event/bookings so we couldn’t eat there, but I was allowed a thorough nosy and I look forward to revisiting and eating up there as it looked amazing (interior) with some cracking views out onto the Stray :)

So different from West Park Hotel which is fun and vibrant with lots of ladies. The Coach was nearly empty again, we spent £60 on beer but the bar tender opened the front door for 5 mins and it was really cold so we left and went to the Tap on Tower Street and that pub was busy and vibrant. I think the Coach should close, we will Not return. We tried the Coach again 13/10 quite busy at 8pm on a Friday night with a much improved atmosphere, rate it 4 stars this time, a significant improvement.

The sad demise of my favorite local.... they've removed the snugs and created a pub that lacks character

My daughter and son in law held their wedding here on 30 September (for 50 people) and it was brilliant from start to finish. The food was excellent and the staff and management were so attentive both on the day and at the planning stage- nothing was too much trouble! The upstairs room was beautifully laid out and it was lovely to overlook the stray. A superb venue for a small wedding!

Called in at noon on Sunday without a booking for Sunday lunch. Very lucky to be found a table as the place soon filled up. Obviously a great place for families for Sunday lunch. Enjoyed the vegan/ vegetarian option of sag aloo pie but it didn’t come with the promised Yorkshire pudding or roast potatoes. Maybe I should have asked as they may be vegetarian but not vegan and are only served if requested? Perhaps staff could ask if they are wanted when a pie is ordered? Other than that the food was lovely and service attentive without being pushy

some very impressive burgers, not dripping in fat/juice like most places and went down a treat! they are very dog friendly so will be popping back!

Nice lunch in a nice pub, was quiet and deserved to be busier. Just took from the snack menu and everything was very tasty, good service too, worth a visit!

Decent food, nice atmosphere, good price. Will come again.

Food was tasty I had pie my mum had fish & chips but I thought the pricing was a bit steep, I’d bought a Harrogate voucher, pay £15 to get £30 off the spend, we had two meals, some quite dry cake and black ice cream for pudding and 2 drinks and the cost was over £70 which for pub grub is steep, so even with the discount I’d paid for it was still expensive. I think the issue is that if you by the voucher it cancels out any offers on the menu so it was disappointing. we were taken to sit upstairs despite tables being free downstairs and it was empty apart from two members of staff planning a wedding with a couple, which went on throughout our meal and the woman who works there was really quite loud. it was important to them but for us it was like sitting in an office listening to a meeting and we shouldn’t have been taken upstairs when the staff knew there was a meeting going on. Not the greatest experience I’m afraid

Came here after a long, hot day at the Ashes test at Headingley. The first pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord was downed fast, and another one ordered just as quickly. We were enticed here by the reputation of the Homemade Pies, and the Lamb Pie on offer did not disappoint, with a lovely crusty pastry and big chunks of gravy soaked lamb. Excellent! The Lemon and raspberry sorbet pudding went down a treat, too. We had a great evening, seated upstairs overlooking the beautiful Harrogate Stray, and spent half the evening trying to guess the origin of the name. Any reliable information on that more than welcome! Great pub, and wonderful pies. Highly recommended.

10/10 I would recommend this beautiful pub, the staff were fantastic and the food amazing. Definitely found a little gem.

Nice café, great staff. Food was good but the curry was not authentic compared with de curry you get in India Kerala.

Great food, good service,spent a few hours there one day.We had Sunday lunch and a couple of bottles of wine. slight issue with bill, but quickly and professionally dealt with, would definitely visit again.

Great local ale in a lovely old pub.

Lovely Saturday lunch. Great food. Wonderful staff. Usually pop in for a Sunday lunch - which is also tremendous. Good selection of draft beers also.

Nice atmosphere with lovely view of the park and nice flowers in all the pub windows. Pet friendly. We came here for the Sunday roast chicken that was great!

First time here on Sunday and it will not be our last! The BEST Sunday roast I’ve ever had, service was absolutely impeccable and the interior is beautiful & clean. See you again soon!

This former town centre boozer closed in controversial circumstances and was acquired, refurbished and opened by the near West Park Hotel. The trouble was nobody really new what it was supposed to be, a bar? a restaurant? - the result is it's just a mess in my view. We went in on a Saturday evening where there were just four customers in, and non of them dining. The place has no atmosphere, perverse decor and lighting - extremely high prices and I really can't see it being there for much longer. Certainly I have made my last visit there.

This used to be great pub. Owner messed up during COVID and could not reopen. Sold to West park hotel. It's gone. Never be a traditional pub again, still had same beer but not as good. £15 for a pint and a large wine. Sad times as we watch traditions draining away

We called in here for Sunday lunch, and it was outstanding. Its a while since I had a roast that good, ten out of ten. If you are in Harrogate and fancy a bite, call in here it doesn't dissapoint. Can't comment on taste, but they did also have a veggie option, which is good for the strange folk that don't do meat.

The place itself looks recently refurbished, clean and cosy. Sunday roast was fantastic, big portion and very friendly service. I will recommend the place to others.

Lovely place, we had a Sunday roast with my friends, food was amazing, we got huge portions and the service was brilliant. Thank you.

Sunday lunch surroundings are excelland food exceptional. Staff ver good excellent service very friendly dog friendly clean and overlooking the stray

Waited ages to come back to this pub which was a great local. Previously visited before the refurbishment and it had an interesting menu and many locals and regulars. Now it is bland, samey and unsurprisingly quiet. Why would you do this to a proper pub?

Absolutely amazing food. Without doubt the best Sunday lunch (except ours at home!), beef was very pink (which is what we asked for), loads of fabulous fresh green vegetables, not sure how the carrots were cooked but they were really lovely. Yorkshire puddings were enormous...

I am beginning to think that all pub refurbishments are all the same and seem to lose the character of the pub so all are the same.This pub is no different but a nice place for a quick pint small selection of hand pulled beers and largers food available but did no try.

Went with high expectations, sadly dashed on the rocks of mediocrity. Not been in since the refurb. Pub then was all a bit 50+ gents with appearance of one having had one or two divorces under their belts, but nevertheless great atmosphere and great beer....

Nice ambience and decoration.Sensibly priced menu and good service.Well worth a visit.

This Easter Sunday me and the old Man decided we’d get off our backsides for once and go for a walk round Harrogate stray and ,on his suggestion , call into the newly refurbished Coach and Horses pub for a drink. Having a combined age...

Yummy, proper food. Good beer, nice place! Winner. 100% reccomend to friends and family

Went in for drinks recently, it’s decorated nicely but has lost the warm & friendly feel of the previous Coach & Horses. Drinks are reasonably priced but food looks expensive. The evening we visited they called last orders at 09.45pm which we found strange but...

Love this pub, refurbished from the popular pub of the past. Excellent food, the Scotch Egg with Curry sauce was sublime. Not too busy but a nice atmosphere. The two chaps working were very friendly and attentive, every time I have been in service has...

The service and food are excellent, a little slow on the day we visited but it was busy so understandable

Was just nearby and decided to go for a roast. Turned out to be one of the best roasts we've ever had. Every individual element was beautiful from the meat to the cabbage. Service a little slow with the odd thing we asked for forgotten about but otherwise lovely staff and would definitely return to this gem.

Another superb meal last night at the Coach & Horses. By chance, it was the launch of their new menu so lots of wonderful things to try. Knowing we were going to have their awesome desserts, we shared the pea & lovage "sausage" roll (vegan)...

Very nice decor, friendly staff, good range of ales and an amazing sharing ploughman’s lunch. Of course this was only possible for to experience because they are dog friendly.

A party of 4 had Sunday lunch here and it was absolutely faultless. We had Roast Beef and one vegetarian option served with a red wine jus. We ordered a portion of artichoke dauphinoise as an extra side. Every part of the meal was delicious...

Popped into the Coach & Horses for an early evening meal. Whilst I had good expectations for the standard of food and service, what we received was exceptional. The quality of food, presentation, and service was excellent. Whilst the mains were exceptionally tasty and very...

Called in on the off chance as we were passing. Lovely friendly welcome and very polite helpful bar staff. The food was freshly cooked and delicious, excellent value, great presentation.we didn’t have to wait to long and the food was hot 👍. The beer was...

On the plus side the roast sirloin and vegetables main course was superb and the service was very good. Unfortunately the menu didn’t reflect what they had and didn’t have (“head office” was blamed for this) and the “Real Scampi Fries” starter was very rubbery...

Service very friendly and welcoming, food pretty good, the pizza kiev was interesting, steak was good. Will call again. Refurb very nicely done. It's not the dreary old drinkers pub it used to be and has been transformed into a stylish restaurant and bar suited...

Service very friendly and welcoming, food pretty good, the pizza kiev was interesting, steak was good. Will call again. Refurb very nicely done. It's not the dreary old drinkers pub it used to be and has been transformed into a stylish restaurant and bar suited to this decade. If you want a watering hole there's plenty close by.

It’s been fairly recently refurbished and it’s got a lovely clean interior now, and a very cosy place. It feels a little more geared toward dining rather than just a drink, but there’s no trouble finding a table for the latter if you wish. The staff are super friendly at the bar and service throughout my visit was brilliant. The prices are cheap too considering the high end feel inside. It’s a really nice pub and somewhere I’ll certainly be returning too.

Infinitely more welcoming and better than it was before the refurb. Great Sunday lunch.

Booked Sunday lunch on 1 Jan as had been there for a few jars over the festive period a couple of times (as tourists from the South) and as luck would have it we just stumbled upon it to be fair. We thought the menu...

Omg, how sh*t, awful. Foods good, but it's not the pub I remember. It was the best, most welcoming pub in Harrogate. Now it's just another gastro pub
