Crimple Bar + Kitchen in Harrogate

We chose here to eat while travelling 400 miles from Aberdeen to Wacton in our electric car. The food was good. The staff were friendly but service was slow. My wife had soup and I had a main. That took about 40-45 minutes. I then had to go and move the car. When I left we asked the staff if my wife could order a sweet. We explained we were rushing. When I can back she still hadn't got it. By the time she got it we had been there a good 1hr 15 min. Disappointing as no notice was taken of our polite indication we were rushing.

Have been before and food has always been good, today the breakfast was good but not amazing. But that could’ve been because the experience wasn’t very pleasant. The younger members of staff seem much more happy and friendly so cannot fault them, but some of the older members of staff that served us were incredibly miserable and rude. Felt like a very rushed experience. The people who served us made our experience terrible.

Visited today with a friend we had a FANTASTIC brunch with wonderful staff in lovely surroundings-will definitely go back unlike a recent visit to a very local 5* hotel who could learn a lot from Crimple

Food was very mediocre. The kitchen is open so you can see the chefs working,, assembling the food sometimes with there hands, worrying when you see a chef sneeze into his hand !!!

When we drove into the spacious car park we were not sure what expect as the buildings looked more factory like. We met friends there and had a pleasant lunch there. The staff were friendly. The menu was fairly basic but adequate and portions were large. Overall good value for money.

Nice place but poor value for the quality . Last Friday October 27th I just wanted a sandwich and ordered the prawn and crayfish one. It sounded good. What arrived was a small ciabatta with very little filling and a few salad leaves. By any stretch of the imagination it wasn't worth £12. The following lunchtime at my high end hotel in Harrogate I had a prawn sandwich for 8.95 which was much better by miles

Went to Crimple for Sunday lunch.My wife and I both had the porchetta as our meat option. The food was first class served on a hot plate. I only mention this as cold plates are a pet hate of mine. Best Sunday lunch we have had in Harrogate in a long time

Quite a poor experience with this morning's front of house. Was on my own for my breakfast and asked to sit in one of the booths for more space with laptop etc. Front of house clearly didn't want me to sit there, despite every single booth being free, and eventually said 'you can sit in this one but i'll have to kick you out if it gets busy', before muttering something about me to nearby colleagues. Not exactly the friendliest welcome to a customer, why you'd say i'll have to kick you out to someone who is paying money to support the business is just bizarre. Needs to work on customer service...

It’s a unique atmosphere here, with the really high ceiling and almost Scandinavian vibe, but one which is pleasant for a casual lunch and even their roast dinners at the weekend. It took far too long for the waiting staff to greet and find us a table on arrival, but after that service was quick. The open kitchen is nice to see and everywhere was clean. We settled on the toasties for a lunch which were a good size and both cooked and presented well. The truffle chips as a side are the perfect accompaniment. The staff were friendly enough and the prices okay for the setting, so it’s certainly somewhere I’d consider again!

Love the food and the service is great go on a regular basis But todays experience left me with the thought that I may try somewhere else in Harrogate next time. I changed just a small thing with my order and agreed to the extra charge But when the chef was told he had a tantrum that I was witness to The explanation that they were under pressure in the kitchen is no excuse for making customers uncomfortable.

Rude manager, pleasant but inexperienced serving staff. I’m a regular customer and I wasn’t made to feel welcome or valued. Food is always just ‘average’. But it’s sometimes convenient to come here.

Second visit for Sunday lunch and we were definitely not disappointed. The food was delicious. Thickly cut pork on a bed of mash topped by a huge Yorkshire pudding. The vegetables served separately were so fresh and perfectly cooked. And included a generous portion of cauliflower cheese. Fluffy roast potatoes and extra gravy. Good service too. What more could you ask for?

Went with our family(4 adults and a child) for post Christmas light lunch. A good welcome. And a good atmosphere...but it was Christmas!. Service took some time tho this was anticipated given the time of year and Lucy who served us was very personable and to some degree lightened the event for us, as the food was disappointingly basic with pricing way too high. Very poor value for money.

Met a friend for a quick lunch. We both had eggs and both were cold. We reported the issue and our dishes were replaced but, again, the eggs were cold. We nibbled around the edges of the food but our lunch was basically inedible. Went home starving and had a decent lunch there. They knocked some money off our bill but when I calculated afterwards they had charged us £5 for the plates which I assumed we hadn’t been charged for. Unfortunately we didn’t even receive an apology. Such a shame as the place is on our doorstep but I wouldn’t return. Incredibly disappointing.

Nice setting, good service, very busy and clearly popular. Cooked breakfast was expensive and not very well cooked. Sausages undercooked (no caramelisation) and lacked taste and were grainy, black pudding and bacon over cooked and dried out. Not as hot as it could have been? Manager very helpful.

First visit was to try the place out; coffees, nothing to eat; liked what we experienced. Second visit was for light lunch. Welcomed by member of staff wearing a Christmas jumper, as were rest of staff. Restaurant had a nice, lively buzz. Service was prompt, but waitress seemed not quite sure about our order. Anyhow, we were served our hot beef sandwiches and fries in good time, but had to ask again for one of our coffees. Notwithstanding this, the staff with whom we interacted were all very pleasant. Melt-in-the-mouth beef, just the right amount of delish gravy, and perfectly cooked fries. Very enjoyable food. This is a great place to eat and drink. The clientèle is a mixed demographic, which is nice to see. This restaurant has been added to my TripAdvisor 'Places we like to eat' list, so a return visit seems highly likely.

Our first time visiting the cafe. Bad points - it is a very noisy setting, food seemed fairly expensive and we were seated near the kitchen so all we smelt was fried food. My eggs Benedict were stone cold and my husband’s French fries were...

We visited on a busy Sunday morning for breakfast. After a small wait, we were seated at our table. So nice to eat somewhere with a decent size table! Our order was taken quickly, but we waited a long time for 2 coffees (over 15...

We were shown to our seats. on sitting I found it too noisy for me because I am partially deaf. We moved to a quieter area and informed the waitress. The food was lovely. Halfway through our meal the front-of-house staff/man took a couple through...

40 minutes to get 2 black coffees a flat white and a tea… wasn’t particularly busy either. A further 20 minutes to get some eggs(an hour total)… when the food came, the poor young lad serving didn’t have a clue what any of the dishes...

The quality of the food is excellent and the service from all members of staff is first class. The full breakfast is superb as is the eggs Benedict and the eggs royal.

Had the avocado on toast and my partner had the granola! But the highlight was Chris Wilkinson and his kind, warm service! Will definitely be coming back

From the moment you enter Crimple Bar & Grill you are made to feel welcome, the staff are attentive but not over powering. The selection of drinks and food will appeal to everyone and the quality of the food is by far some of the...

My wife and I had lunch today at Crimple really tasty and super value. We were looked after by Chris Wilkinson a lovely chap who made our visit a delight. We will certainly return next time we are in Harrogate

Food vey good this time staff friendly and helpful the onion rings are to die for I look forward to coming again really enjoyed meal good quality

After a few days of offhand and even rude service in places like Valley Gardens, Table Table and Ripley Castle, we had decided that hospitality staff in Harrogate in general are in desperate need of staff training. But today Crimple's welcoming, accommodating and cheerful staff...

Visited with my son and the setting is lovely . We like nothing more than treating ourselves to a nice lunch followed by a bit of shopping for ingredients . The food in the Bar and Kitchen is terrible . My son had butternut squash...

First time visit and had great expectations from this newish establishment. Service was a bit slow, had to ask for drinks order but they soon arrived. Two ordered the sandwiches and one the steak pie. The pie was individual with a roasted carrot, chips and...

This was my second visit and found it excellent value. Staff are first class, service superb, food top notch, one of the best lattes I've had in a long time

The setting is good but the food quality was not great at all. The sausage sandwich came in two flimsy bread slices and just disintegrated straight away so couldn’t eat it. We asked to see if they had anything else to put in on so...

Met a friend for lunch this week. Received a warm welcome from David. Shown to my table while I waited for a friend. Food and service both excellent. As a vegetarian there was plenty of choice. Highly recommend and definitely be back.

Went for lunch. Prices really high for the quality of food. Burger was £15. Burger and chips were warm. Onion rings were cold. Bacon was over cooked.

3rd time we have been here & won't be last visit, was glad to be part of 1st evening event. Food was amazing & service attentive. Nice break between courses. Wishing the whole team all the best & loling forward to next visit

Visited Crimple after hearing lots about the new development and restaurant. We had lunch on a Saturday and everything was fantastic. Really nice afternoon looking around the garden centre and picking up some special bits from the food hall before settling down for lunch. We...

Used to visit when Crimple Hall was in its previous guise and had Anthony’s. However, times change, as does the overall building at Crimple Hall. Visited on a Sunday. As such, only the Sunday menu was available. However, this was not an issue. From a...

We put off visiting until January when the queues had calmed down. We returned the toasted tea cake which was stale. It was dry and crumby despite. Cheese scone also tasted dry and really not freshly baked.prices are high considering the competition in Harrogate.

Popped into Crimple Valley Bar + Kitchen, we had Steak pie & Beef Lasagne, both amazing, best steak pie in ages. Service was good, wait for food reasonable. Heads up between 11:30-12:00 the kitchen clean up after breakfast so start serving main meals from noon.

We visited on a wet Saturday when other plans fell through. Looks nice from the outside, we were greeted and seated but then... We were told we had a children's menu but didn't, no-one passed to ask so just went with chips and though our...

After big expectations big disappointment. Interior designer very basic. Paper printed menus, stuff so young without any experience. Only Dave knows what he does but unfortunately with all disasters around, he is lost too. Food is not good at all. Missing old restaurant tbh. Hopefully,...

I can't comment on the quality of food as we left whilst ordering. Before arriving we looked online at the children's menu and could see that beans on toast and cheese on toast was not only on breakfast menu but also the lunch menu. This...
