Harpers Bistro in Hambleton

Booked ahead for a table of 7, including 3 children. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted at seated promptly. The kids were offered colouring material, and liked to look at the fish (pet ones that are alive!). Food was delicious and good-sized portions. Not...

My Mother in Law and her Husband came to visit. Being lazy we fed them Fish and Chips! They were excellent. Great sized fish, and good chip portions. A very happy family!

Not as reasonably priced as expected for a Yorkshire fish and chip shop. Staff friendly but did not promote special offer until asked. A rather strange position for a fish and chip shop, isolated but next to a garage . Having been to a similar...

What a great meal and service. Drove past this place a few times dont think we'll drive past anymore we'll just pop in!

A quiet meal at the end of a busy day. Good service and friendly with it. Food well presented and pleasant, clean surroundings. The background music was restful rather than intrusive. There was enough choice, good value and ample portions.

Called at the chippy which is attached to the bistro part. Friendly welcome and spotless surroundings. Fish freshly cooked and delicious. Small is good value and filling, so large must be overwhelming. Enjoyed the open air eating at a picnic table. Look out for the...

We have watched this place develop in the last year, and this was our first visit for a meal. (Alongside a fast road, and thus a difficult turn off and rejoin, unless planned - something of a handicap). However, 3 of us had the pleasure...

Called in here on way home to York for a quick tea. Lovely clean bright interior & lots of mixed size tables. Picked the Pensioners Special, Haddock and The usual extras of tea, by the pot, mushy peas, and bread and butter, (not spread but...

We were a family of four adults, and ordered 3 Harpers daily fish menu and a salad with melted goats cheese and red onions on top. The portions were more than enough to satisfy a large appetite. The service was prompt and very friendly -...

We had the pleasure of eating at the Harpers Bistro just north of York on the A19. Three generations of our family were welcomed into a very clean and pleasant restaurant just off the main road. The staff were very friendly and happy to show...

Ok this page took some finding, the other page on Trip Advisor seems to refer to the Hull Road establishment, and in fact I had some issues with service there some time ago. Harpers A10 Bistro is on another level. The quality and service was...

Our son is at York university and whenever we drive down to visit we always go to Harpers as a treat. The staff are pleasant and the food is delicious. We actually live near South Shields, so have 2 fantastic Colmans fish restaurants nearby but...

I have visited Harpers Bistro twice now and was delighted on both visits. The seating area is very pleasant with plenty of space between tables. I comment on this because many restaurants cram in as many tables as they can and it is a squeeze...

These premises have been the home of a number of businesses over recent years and none have been able to be successful. I don't think that this will be a problem for Harpers Bistro if the experience we had on our visit is representative of...

Excellent food, service and cleanliness of the bistro. What more can l say. The fish and chips are the best quality; served by friendly, efficient staff in a very comfortable environment. Ample parking and 10 minutes from York.

Warmly welcomed when we stepped through the door into contemporary surroundings (nothing like I'd expected). Staff attentive, we had a child and an allergy sufferer in the party. The food was excellent and the cost, very reasonable. There is plenty of free parking. Whats not...

Great value for money.Excellent service . Large portions Friendly staff who would go the extra for the customer Can not fault it.

Hubby and myself, having passed Harper's Bistro on our way to Burns Hall Hotel decided to pay it a visit. Once we'd negotiated the somewhat dark and unclear driveway we were happy enough with the unfussy but pleasant interior. Our food arrived promptly and was...

we had a takeaway. cooked fresh, good quality, portions and price. would recommend. definately going back. very friendly staff.

Very friendly staff and lovely fish and chips. Tomato soup to start was home made and bursting with flavour, battered king prawns and prawn cocktail equally as good. Cod fish and chips was huge (Yorkshire portion) well cooked and very thick /firm fish not your...

I bought a voucher for four, on Groupon. It was very good value, for a main meal of fish and chips special, cup of tea and sweet or starter. Didn't expect the portion to be so large and the food so good, but it was....

Been a few times. Food always good, service friendly. Always have basic fish and chips and has always been enough to full me up. Sticky toffee pudding is a must for dessert. From a point of service let me mention - during my last visit...

Groupon voucher 2 course meal for 2. Huge portions, delicious fish and chips, opted for ice cream for desert as it was light. Needed the walk we had planned after meal. Dropped one stat as coffee awful, very weak, I would rather have cup of...

We called here for a meal on our wedding anniversary but even though it was ok, I would not rush to go back. The portions were quiet large but the fish was watery & tasteless however, the chips were dry & crispy. The lemon posset...

We thought this place would struggle as appeared to be a little isolated However we drove back one evening for a meal. Good atmosphere place was packed out yet service was quite quick despite this Staff very friendly and attentive serving very nice starter and...

Don't go unless you are extremely patient, and like being forgotten about. Asked before we sat down what the wait time was and was told 20/30 minutes. Order was taken straight away, it took 30 minutes for the drinks to arrive, only after we asked,...

Having eaten the fish & chips take away 3x and it has not disappointed me yet. Home made tartare sauce is to die for.

So I know it's not long been opened, I think about 6weeks so we are not expecting it to be fantastic. I think we are greeted and served by manager, who is very nice. The place is nice and clean although a bit bland. I...

I was disappointed with my first experience of this place. It was not busy, about a quarter full (6 tables, some just couples) but it took them 10 minutes to come for our order. Some people who came in after us were served first, which...
