Half Moon Inn in Harrogate

Delicious home cooked Sunday Carvery, amazing food, great service and lovely atmosphere. A real gem.

A homely atmosphere with very welcoming hosts. Sunday carvery was excellent. Generous portions at a great price.

What a hidden gem. Dog friendly, friendly staff, fairly priced. The gammon was nearly the same size as the plate, and they bought over bread and butter to mop the plates up. I wish I could give this 10 stars.

Here for a wedding anniversary, lovely atmosphere and a nice point too. Really friendly staff

Brilliant welcome and food dogs welcome

Went for the Sunday carvery, and it was so tasty. Reasonably priced at £13.00 The puddings are delicious.

The Sunday Carvery was very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It gets very busy so I would recommend booking a table for the carvery.

Food is incredible and very "homely". Service is fabulous and can highly recommend the sunday carvery although strongly suggest booking due to the local popularity. The camembert starter is lovely. Very well priced.

Great family pub stopped off for lunch after a lovely walk around Brimham Rocks which was only a 7minte drive. Sat in the beer garden as the weather was too good... We had the kids hot dog, the carvey and fish cakes (are to die for, so tasty). The portions was great, and the food/service was outstanding. Family/dog friendly place too. We will definately be back. Thank you for a lovely pitt stop to our journey.

Delicious Sunday carvery in a traditional pub. Staff friendly. Great price. We will be going again.

Great pub with friendly service and welcoming atmosphere.

Real Farming Community Spirit Great Ambiance Super Food Great Choice of Ales in a stunning location

Fantastic old style carvery with the best gravy I've ever eaten. So friendly, it's a traditional pub and the Sunday carvery is like a good proper Sunday dinner.

Fabulous Sunday carvery, massive portions & very tasty. Would highly recommend this pub. Prices very reasonable, would recommend to book as it was fairly busy.

Superb both food drinks and service by very kind considerate staff. Return? I'm deed we will.

Amazing pub with outstanding food and beer. Service was absolutely fantastic

Wonderful as always,& very accommodating, they once said to my friend who had not booked. Place was extremely busy, & they said come in we never turn anyone away.how is that for friendly service. highly recommend.

Lovely carvery in a really nice place. Service excellent and very good price.

Very quick service and great food. Huge portions! Busy pub but that was nice as it gave the pub a nice, friendly atmosphere. Good, non-greasy chips and a very tender lamb shank. Friendly staff and a really well behaved pub dog. Highly recommended. £56 for two drinks and two 2 course meals.

We were staying close by and the Half Moon was recommended to us for Sunday roast. It was a carvery so we helped ourselves to a good selection. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at a reasonable price.

We had a AirB&B nearby. As it was such a lovely day we decide to walk over to the Half Moon for a spot of lunch. Food was excellent, staff were excellent & Most importantly the beer was excellent. Really nice place, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and dog friendly too. Will definitely recommend a visit here if you’re about and about in the area.

Lovely place. Both Timothy Taylor’s landlord AND theakstons best. Two of the best ales in the world - both on cask! Nice pub grub menu - I had the scampi and it was very nice. Dog friendly and had a chat with a couple locals who seemed like a nice welcoming bunch. Landlord and landlady (I think) were nice folk to us. LOVED the thoughtfulness of supplying a small pair of scissors with the condiment packets. I hate opening them things and invariably make a mess. Much more civilised with scissors!

Amazing atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food was exceptional. I can't wait to return when I'm in the area again.

Lovely reasonably priced carvery washed down with a couple of well kept pints of Timothy Taylors "Landlord ".

Delicious food, cosy traditional pub. Lovely, accommodating staff. Great atmosphere. Extremely dog friendly. Highly recommended.

One of the best pubs in the country. That is the country as the UK.

Had a fantastic carvery, the meat was cooked to perfection & carved the right way too, very tasty, veggies just right too - not soft & mushy 👌🏻 Friendly staff & reasonable prices throughout.

First time at the half moon inn, the food was great and service was 10/10 very friendly staff and nice beers. I will definitely return in the near future.

booked a table for 8th October 2023 @13:00 to get there at 12:58 and be told that there is 6 people before us and we'll have to wait when I said I've booked a table he said very rudely it doesn't work like that " IM SORRY SO PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW DOES TABLE RESERVATION WORK " as the saying goes " THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO " when it comes to eating out lol. so ended up at The Water Rat instead very friendly great service very nice food....RANT OVER..

Called in for late afternoon meals, we have a dog 🐕 and motorhome but not a problem, very good food and beer, good service and pleasant staff making us welcome.

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, fantastic carvery, cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks to all for keeping the quintessential English country pub alive and kicking.

Stopped to eat on 24th Sept 2023. It was Sunday Carvery. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. No fuss, no bother. Food was everything we had hoped for. Delicious, plentiful and excellent value. We were in fed and out in about 20 minutes. Clearly family run. This family deserve to prosper. Thank-you for your good honesty hospitality.

The place was packed with locals enjoying a community pub, but we were welcomed and seated in the busy pub area. The menu had some nice choices. I went for lasagne, which arrive quickly. It impressed me this was home-made, as was my partner's fish pie. The portion was large and the whole meal very tasty. Prices are very reasonable. A real traditional northern pub, highly recommended.

Excellent food, the best steak and kidney pie and fine pint of theakstons

Went for a Sunday Lunch Carvery, even though it was very busy the service & standard of food was fantastic. Great value for money, good atmosphere and booked again for this Sunday.

Took my sons, who are visiting from the USA, for a Sunday roast dinner. They were overjoyed! They ate so much and loved it all. My husband and I liked the vege version as well.

Friendly staff and beautiful carvery

It wasn't a bad pub but there's no real garden, just concrete area right by the road. The food is very expensive and very much hearty winter food, no salads or healthier options. We decided not to eat here because of that. The bar area was full of fat loud men hanging around it, making it hard to order and I was stared at when I arrived by the people at the bar which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The beer selection seemed to be predominantly Fosters etc although there was a pale ale which wasn't bad. Finally, there is a nice sofa seating area outside but it's next to a very loud fan/extractor and the cushions are quite dirty, so why anyone would want to sit there is beyond me, it's almost like it's there just for show. Wouldn't recommend to be honest, maybe more of a winter pub.

On a 90th birthday celebration..food excellent..staff attentive and polite...great value for money...spot on..deffo 5 stars

Visiting the area and stopped off for dinner. Very warm welcome front the staff, cosy atmosphere and the food was great quality. Excellent portions. Would highly recommend

We forgot that it was Mothering Sunday (Mother’s Day) and we couldn’t get in anywhere for lunch. By chance we stopped here and they had a table for two. We had the carvery lunch which included generous portions of roast beef, pork, and turkey with Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes, veg, and all the trimmings. The whole thing was made even better with the first pint of Theakston that I’d had in years. The food was excellent and the landlord and staff very welcoming. What a find!

The Half Moon family run pub comes highly recommended for the cheerful & excellent food, at the Carvery on Sunday March 12th we needed assistance as our friend passed out (twice) nothing was to much trouble, their concern was genuine and we were so well looked after. John &Chris & most importantly Linda who is now fully recovered would like to say a very big thank you to Colin & Tracy & members of staff & especially Jean a retired nurse who stayed with Linda until the ambulance arrived

Excellent food lovely atmosphere very friendly and dog friendly. The pub dog is part of the team. Highly recommend a visit.

Best mixed grill I've had in a very long time!

An impromptu visit for a Sunday roast. Warm, cosy pub with friendly staff. Food was great and very good value for money. Will definitely be coming again.

A wonderful family run pub. With great food and staff

We have just had an amazing family meal which was all cooked to perfection, the staff were very welcoming and prompt with their service. Excellent value for money, good quality meat and a lovely pint of Timothy Taylor landlord, we will definitely be back and would highly recommend, thank you ☺️

Had a great meal and evening playing music. A nice warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere.

We were passing through Fellbeck in our motorhome, on our way to Grassington. Our good old sat nav took us on an old roman road to avoid a road closure.... it wasn't a road, it was a track, and as it was raining, it was muddy and wet. Our motorhome succumbed to the mud and we got stuck in a ditch. After getting no joy from our breakdown cover, no joy from a towing service, and being on hold to the police control room for over 30 minutes, I decided to phone the local pub. Colin (the landlord) was brilliant, he managed to find someone with a tractor and someone with a chain, and he came to us with Joe (the tractor man) and Adrian (the pub chef). With great care and attention (and in the dark might I add), they managed to tow us out of the ditch, and we went on our way. As it was now so late, we decided to head to the pub. Colin said we could sleep in our motorhome outside. We went and had a few drinks with Colin, Tracy and Adrian. Sadly Joe couldn't join us, as he was in his tractor and it was too far for him to go. We also decided to book a B&B room for the night. It was so cosy and warm, very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. These people saved us and we cannot thank them enough. We have already booked to return for New Year celebrations, when we hope to get to sample the main meals as well. They say that the AA are the fourth emergency service, but no, the Fellbeck community are the fourth emergency service, especially The Half Moon Inn!

Staying locally we thought we would try the Half Moon Inn as recommended.. My pie was exceptional , meaty and full of flavour, gravy one of the nicest I've had in a pie , chips were flavoursome and veg cooked well. Service was great , friendly, speedy and professional , faultless.. The reason it's a 4 not a 5 is because I don't think a dog should be allowed in the eating area especially one that begs for food and if ignored sits there tapping your leg. Is a lovely old dog and I love dogs , have my own but do have areas dogs shouldn't be. Thank you....

Very friendly helpful staff lovely food and bonus dog friendly absolutely recommended pay it a visit guarantee you'll go back again 👍👍

The best bit was a good, proper home made steak and kidney pie. Not very generous veg (one broccoli floret and about 6 small pieces of carrot in a very generic brown gravy with a bit of mushroom). Fish pie not very good... tasted like a bought in bag of fish (a lot of cubes of some sort of brown fish) and a thin sauce. Staff friendly. Food came very quickly but we were then somewhat abandoned as we waited for either the dessert menu or to be asked if we wanted the bill.

Lovely food .Nice beer and a warm welcome. And a friendly dog 🐕

Lovely people Lovely food and drink Very friendly Clean and tidy food didn't take long and was piping hot Definitely will visit again

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Food, Service, Friendless and VERY DOG FRIENDLY Be prepared for the portion sizes you won't go home hungry Highly recommended But do book or be disappointed

Excellent food massive portion nothing was too much trouble the staff are all brilliant very welcoming stayed here a few times now and going again in August it's pet friendly would recommend to anyone

Best steak and kidney pie with a real crust and chunky meat. Shared with Theakston on tap. A perfect Yorkshire dinner. Best ever. Homecoming for sure. Other dishes looked good too. Highly recommended

Great quality food at a very fair price. Sunday Carvery @ £11 a bargain.

Lovley home cooked food and a lovley warm welcome.

Lovely food good service and atmosphere

Excellent food, friendly atmosphere. Very busy but still gave attention to everyone.

Read the reviews on this place and liked the look of the food etc. On arrival we found it was like the Marie Celeste, it was nearly impossible for me to use the toilets or move around without difficulty because of the many steps (even in the ladies loo). We regrettably had to leave without tasting anything. I know it's a old building but surely something could be done.

Great food good prices and very friendly staff. I had the sirloin which was large and tasty. Would thoroughly recommend a visit

Muy bien. Muy amables, acogedor y comida de menú del domingo, sin pretensiones, pero muy bueno y un precio correcto.

Great place to eat , drink and relax , friendly and polite staff .

We came for Sunday lunch and from the welcome, right up to when we left, the service was excellent. We had booked and arrived early and were seated straight away. The Land Lady immediately came over and saw we had a toddler and provided us with a high chair and dinner for our daughter 5 minutes later to keep her happy. The food was excellent and at a great price. Probably the best pub we've been to for a family meal in a long time.

Stayed over night very welcoming food was excellent will be going back soon

Coming for over 40 years and always have the steak and kidney pie it's amazing, proper chunks of meat in a rich gravy. Portions are good and its dog friendly

Always a great carvery at a great price!

Delicious carvery meal on the Sunday with a typical Yorkshire atmosphere. Friendly staff and cosy inside.

Ladies luncheon group. Food excellent. Comfortable environment.

Best chops anywhere. Excellent steak

Came for a New Years Day meal with a party of 5, whilst staying in a holiday cottage. Very welcoming staff, Sean, Tracey & Colin (and Billy the dog) We ordered our food and when it arrived, we were amazed at the massive portion sizes (No half measures here - unless it's a half of lager) Eventually, it was time to leave, so we asked Tracey if there was a local taxi firm to take us home, she said there wasn't, but her husband Colin would take us home free of charge! Wow!, what a lovely gesture.

Great pub with basic well prepared food. Nice and warm with back to back logburners. Nice staff. The pub dog Billy likes to wait on your table in case you drop something edible.

Just moved up here & this place was recommended. Lovely, cosy pub with home cooked meals and friendly staff. Already been back with parents & will definitely be back again!

Lovely service. Food needs some work. Burger was cheap and tasteless.

Food was amazing service fantastic

Had x2 fabulous meals here recently. Tasty food, good portions in a cosy traditional pub with excellent service from the hosts.

Nice decor and ambience, nicely kept beer and our meals were excellent. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a really nice evening.

We ate at the Half Moon, the food and service was first class. Only gripe was the food and 1 coffee came to £29 . 2 pints and a J20 to drink and the bill was £ 40 ! That's worse than London prices

Yorkshire hospitality at its finest. Highly recommend!

Excellent meal,always get a good plateful. Friendly staff, varied menu and reasonably priced drinks.

The best pub food for miles around. Great value, great venue and fantastic hosts.

Excellent bed & breakfast. Very comfortable. Had our evening meal at the pub too. Delicious! We would definitely stay here again.

Just had a fantastic meal here. Huge portions, meat was delicious, steak was perfectly cooked and the chips were spot on!

Nice quality English pub meal, served quickly and very reasonably priced.

Great welcome, great atmosphere, and fabulous food!! All in all it's a wonderful, traditional family run pub, which serves food in proper portions for proper people.....prawn cocktail starter, steaks, mixed grill, scampi, chips, pies, veg, gravy, sticky toffee pudding......this is the real deal. The owners are lovely, hardworking, friendly people, and it really shows as the bar and restaurant are busy most nights with regulars and tourists alike. If you want a proper North Yorkshire pub meal, then look no further, and try to book in advance.

Hand pulled Theakston's 4off just to make sure. Pub grub... cheese burger. Plenty of tables.

Food very good we ate outside due to covid staff could have been more friendly.

Good food good value, relaxed country pub 🍺😋👍

Food arrived quickly and all 4 of our meals were very good. Friendly staff who kept us updated about our meal as we needed to leave by a certain time.

Tour De Nidderdale cycling Challenge break point. Arrived in this beautiful Inn for dinner. Host and environment are very friendly. Ordered fish pie, very fresh ingredients with generous portions. Yummy 😋 The host and locals offered me the best cycling route down to Harrogate station. Beautiful scenery and kind people, highly recommended and will visit again.

We were welcomed by Billy the dog as well as a very friendly owner, I presume. The husband had a sirloin steak and it was a veggie lasagne for me. They were both tasty and plentiful. Well kept beer, too.

Was visiting Bisham Rocks and wanted to eat somewhere local before heading back to our holiday cottage. Staff were friendly and the Steak & Kidney pie was very tasty as were the well cooked chips. The landlady's dog would sit at the foot of each diner hoping for tidbits....

Very welcoming, dog friendly 🐾, huge portions, plenty of space to park

Warm friendly service, great food.

Great little pub between Pateley Bridge and Ripon. Stopped for a pub lunch and as I have a big appetite, decided on the mixed grill. I was not disappointed. Very Large portion, but also very, very tasty. Possibly one of the best mixed grills I’ve had! Great pint of bitter also. Dog friendly pub, which has a friendly dog called Billy. We did think he was our best friend as he stayed round us before and during our lunch. Alas, once the food was finished, Billy showed his true colours and moved onto the next group of customers waiting for their food. I did consider giving 1 star for this reason, but I’ll forgive him.....this time....

Great food and friendly staff the lady serving us was calling my grandson by his name when we left. He thought that she was really lovely and it made his day. Thank you.

Great food , generous portions, good beer and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended and will not hesitate to go back again very soon
