Great & Small in Harrogate

Haddock, Chips, mushypeas and gravy. Superb fish and chips, the batter was so light and crispy, not greasy. Highly recommend

Food was an hour late , cold and missing ingredients. When I asked a waiter about the missing cheese from My Philicheese Steak sandwich he shrugged and said ‘it’s not my fault’ . Our waitress was surley from the start - possibly because the restaurant is so awful she must have been having a rubbish time. We received our drinks straight away and my father in law kept his tea to go with his food . Unfortunately, it was stone cold after the hour’s wait . 3 out of 4 of us ordered the Philicheese steak sandwiches and after waiting an hour for it , the steak was cold and there was no cheese. When we complained we were brought a cold slice of smoked cheese - when I said what about the other 2 people they almost ‘threw’ down a plate of 5 slices of this cheese. We pointed out that it was cold and should be ‘melted’ on the sandwich and also the wrong cheese entirely (I cannot stand smoked cheese and would never order anything with it in). The staff, including the manager were unapologetic and kept making excuses. As, by this time, we were in a rush to get to the cinema, we said we didn’t not have time to listen to their protracted arguments and excuses and we said we would pay for half the bill - which was more than we ate ! Awful awful place ! Don’t bother to go there !!

Stunning location. The Restaurant is in beautiful grounds of hotel and spa. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed this pub when we stopped for a beer, so much so we went back the next day. Visiting from London this is what I would consider a good old Yorkshire pub. Lovely hospitality, lots of drink choices and felt covid secure. Nice to sit outside also and watch the world go by

Excellent food as usual and the service was outstanding considering we were a bit of a nuisance with one of us being an hour late because of road works. We meet here a few times each year as it’s halfway between where we both live and every time we are delighted we choose the Kestrel. Special thanks to Emma who fabulous and very patient
