Hopper Lane Hotel in Harrogate

It is a great shame this fab pub restaurant is closed. Best Sunday lunch for miles in it's day. Could not fault it, hopefully opens again soon ☹️

We are staying at the accommodation currently and couldn’t be more happy. Beautiful scenery and garden and a very well equipped modern but homely apartment!

Lovely hotel friendly.staff food lovely

Lovely atmosphere sat outside in beer garden, staff and food excellent

It is a lovely pub. The food is amazing

Lovely meal worth every penny very friendly staff will definitely go again

What a gem this place is. Found on the way back from waterfall chasing. Welcomed in, even though just 5minutes before serving ended. Staff are lovely, meals and puddings were absolutely delicious.

Nice food, reasonably priced and lovely warm and friendly service. Lovely traditional pub.

Wonderful food and excellent service staff amazing 10 out of 10 once again

Food is great and staff are excellent.

Had a meal with friends at the restaurant on Sunday. Warm hospitality, very accomodating, not long to wait and when the food arrived it was flavoursome and beautifully presented. The desserts were exceptionally delicious. Would definitely come again.

Local pub / Hotel to where we staying, we rang and got a table booked in to ensure we could eat. Staff very helpful and seated us quickly. We ordered food and drinks, both great and arrived in a reasonable time. Great experience after such a long time of not being able to go inside places to eat

Very nice lunch! Home cooked chips brilliant! Sat outside as it was a lovely day. Our waitress was very friendly and attentative. Would definitely recommend for lunch out!

Good food, good choice of beverages, good pricing, good location, great team.

Stopped out of the blue for a meal, the food was fabulous. We had a home cooked pie which was full of flavour and full to the brim, (the service was lovely too). Would definatly recommend it for food. We will be going back.

Fantastic new beer garden and lovely homemade food

Stopped on spec having been let down elsewhere. Had a great menu and good value. We needed gluten free and they bent over backwards to help. Only serving outside so need good weather which we had. A real pleasure to hear here

Was a very random choice on our way across the A59. What a great choice it was. Staff were lovely and attentive. Ales were great. But... the steak and ale pie. Well, it’s definitely the best I’ve had in years. Delicious gravy, incredible melt in the mouth meat and great chips. Bravo to the team.

Efficient service and good food 👍

Made a stop here for for and drink en route to Tadcaster. Lovely garden area out back, covid friendly and friendly staff, plus good food and coffee. Glad we stopped. Can't comment on rooms or whatnot.

Stopped by for a bite to eat and a drink (or two!). Sat in the beer garden enjoying the sunshine and watching the sheep in the field behind. I would thoroughly recommend The Hopper Lane if you’re looking for somewhere to sit back and relax. My husband opted for the burger and I chose the summer platter. Both were really tasty and good value for money. A family run pub with very friendly staff and great service. Despite the reduced menu there was still plenty to choose from. We will be back again very soon.

Great food as usual,value for money 10/10

Very nice setting lovely views and very welcoming staff be a favourite of mine since late seventies can't beat it with a stick

Great food. I had the quiche. Partner had lasagne. Lovely covered area out the back. Dog friendly garden. Great staff.

Lovely beer garden and tons of outdoor space with plenty of cover if needed. Cask ale was perfect..Best pint of ale I've had since before lockdown. Service was a little slow at times but staff were really friendly and nice to talk to.

An essential part of a Sunday Day out is a walk around Swinsty is the traditional Sunday Roast at the Hopper Lane. What a treat!

Good food with excellent service

Lovely meal and a great atmosphere as usual

From the moment we arrived it felt like a home from home. The staff are really friendly and the food is really excellent.

Excellent food...great service..great staff..

Had a lovely meal today would highly recommend will definitely be back.

Fabulous food, roaring fires, friendly staff, definitely worth a visit.

So many pubs belonging to pub groups are over-designed and serve underwhelming food and drink at overwhelming prices with little real enthusiasm. The Hopper Lane is a refreshing change; a family owned pub, and hotel, that has retained its real character. The lunch menu is wide and varied and the service we received when we visited with our dog was delightful - a warm welcome that felt genuine, rather than 'trained', from nice people.

Very good. Nice food at a reasonable price in a nice setting.

The Hopper Lane Hotel was a wonderful place to stop for lunch on a wet, windy and miserable February day. There was a welcoming log fire that in itself made the stop worthwhile. The landlord made us feel welcome, the food was excellent and the service first class. What more need I say! I don't use that route often, but I will make a point of stopping at The Hopper Lane Hotel again when next I am passing. Definitely recommended.

Great food very friendly staff . They will do everything to help 10/10

Lovely food and very welcoming.

We didn't eat here, just had a coffee, but the place is very welcoming and has a fantastic cozy atmosphere with real open fires. Will certainly try the food given time next time!

Lovely home cooked tasty food, decent portion sizes and good value. The creamy mushroom starter is delicious and all items we have tried from the mains have been excellent.

An excellent lunch, friendly staff, dogs welcome.

Excellent food great beer. friendly staff .great prices.

Comimos ayer aquí después de un agradable circuito del embalse de Fewston (unos 3, 5 m). Esta es una posada tradicional espaciosa con verdaderos fuegos de carbón que dan una cálida bienvenida. Hay un extenso menú para satisfacer los gustos de la mayoría de las personas. Tuve el Steak & Ale Pie que contenía algunas de las mejores salsas que he probado con papas fritas y verduras de temporada bien cocinadas. Una pinta de cerveza Black Sheep complementa la comida bien. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente después de obtener su refresco con un paseo por el embalse.

It's a great pub good food open fires and friendly service if you are passing I recermend you pull in for food ect great

A lovely little traditional country pub we discovered by accident while out walking. The staff were warm and friendly and the lunch was lovely and extremely reasonably priced. Sign outside says closed Mondays. ( Not sure if that's the whole pub or just the kitchen) .

Brilliant little pub, nice warm fire, food was really decent and reasonable prices also, would definitely recommend. Staff were friendly and no problem at all, beautiful surrounding location also!.

Welcoming environment and had an amazing Christmas Day meal

I was with a group of 35+ ramblers who enjoyed a pre-ordered, early evening meal from the Christmas Menu a last week. The quality and quantity of the food was very good at a time when many establishments allow their standard to slip. We were very pleasantly surprised when each table was offered a complementary carafe of port to accompany our mince pies and coffee! The tables were beautifully decorated and the service prompt as well as friendly. Real value for money at £19. With the roaring log fires and Christmas tree it all made for a wonderful finish to our day, much of which had been spent walking in the fog.

Thanks for such a delicious lunch on Wednesday! We had a lovely lunch after a walk to celebrate a friend's birthday. The staff were very welcoming, atmosphere cosy, with log fire. We pre-ordered most of the meals,as a party of nine, but staff very understanding and flexible as one wanted to order on the day. All the food came out together, lovely and warm, and delicious. We will definitely return! Thanks

Lovely welcoming atmosphere great staff! Hidden gem

Excellent service, warm and friendly and delicious food at reasonable price. Thank you for scrumptious Sunday lunch.

We have driven past on many occasions but never stopped. We stopped yesterday and I'm really glad we did. It's lovely inside with warm log fires. The food was really good and freshly cooked. Very pleasant staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

Lovely and warm, cosy and dog friendly 😊

Friendly place with fabulous food. Hubby had Mushroom and Stilton Wellington for a change it was superb. I had the very tasty Black Pudding Sausage and mash that too amazing. Thank you everyone we will be back

Nice location and ambience. More like a restaurant than a pub although you can visit for just drinks. I had the Hopper Lane Burger, served with cheddar cheese and bacon - excellent and cooked perfectly. Prices are a bit high for pub food but the quality is better than the average pub. Nice building and excellent service. Will return.

Just had a lovely Sunday Lunch. Topside of beef, Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings. All cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the The Hopper. Great staff and well stocked bar. Cosy warm atmosphere enhanced by real log fires. Well worth a visit!

Booked a table for lunch on Saturday, got there a little early but no problem. We had a drink whilst we waited for the kitchen to open and looked at the menu. From ordering to getting the food was less than 30 minutes, it was all fresh and very tasty, my steak pie was delicious and the hand cut chips and fresh veg were superb. I will return to the Hopper lane when I am passing, it is a credit to the owners.

Food and service were excellent

This pub had been a favourite post walk eating place until about 6 years ago, when we had a very disappointing experience. Since then, we had noticed that it seemed to be closed down so we hadn’t bothered to try. What a lovely treat, after an autumnal walk , to arrive with friends and our two dogs, and thoroughly enjoy great food , beer and hospitality! My mushroom and blue cheese wellington and biscoff cheesecake were fantastic and we’re so excited that Hopper Lane is back on our radar!

Lovely friendly Pub/Restaurant with Great food. Old fashioned fire in the Range Room. very helpful Staff.

Very good food at reasonable prices, good service. Left a review on hotel site in error so I will again say enjoyed by all apart from small portion of roast beef on Sunday lunch but excellent vegetables to accompany, just needed some mashed potato. Desserts gorgeous , will return.

Came to the Hopper Lane Hotel tonight, had 4 meals, 3 deserts and loved everything. If you want to taste the best food around, you need to come here! Fantastic food, fabulous beer and staff are great.. Well done guys, this has been a real treat 👍👍👍

Called for lunch after passing by many times, so glad we did. Tried the steak and ale pie, very nice with a rich gravy that was maybe a little over salted but enjoyable. They have a great menu that seems very reasonable and the beer is also good and well priced. Will not drive past in the future but will call when we are doing one of the fantastic reservoir walks in the area.

Popped in at lunch during the UCI world cycling championships. Staff very friendly and lots of local cyclists also having a bite before the race passed through. Could do with a cake selection in addition to the dessert menu but otherwise quite the find.

Excellent food and friendly service made this a delightful stop on the way to walk the dog at Fewston Resevoir. Both of us can highly recommend the steak and ale pie with a healthy provision of chunky chips and vegetables, accompanied by a rich gravy.

Fantastic dog friendly pub with open fires and cosy friendly atmosphere The service is second to none and the food is delicious. The steak pie is superb. Would highly recommend

What makes this place even more amazing than the amazing food is the Owners and the staff. Always a warm genuine welcome and that's hard to find these days. Thanks to all

Fab, fresh, tasty food and great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back

Super pub and very welcoming to bikers. Very friendly atmosphere and delicious home-cooked style food in generous portions.

Fantastic place to eat and stay the welcome is first class thank you for making our stay so homely xxxx

Really good food, nice atmospher

Lovely fresh food, good choice. Would go again

Friendly and welcoming, with good quality food at reasonable prices. Situated on the A59 as you approach Harrogate heading to York. Gluten free options are available for those who need. Very handy for travelers as there is no need to go hunting for a good meal.

Good food great service a good place to stop

Lovely country pub, delicious food.. REAL chips!

Good selection of beers and food

Good stop off on way to the races. Thanks for the hospitality much appreciated

Very friendly comfortable pub restaurant. Great food and not the typical pub grub: a little bit special. Very interesting place, really well appointed and looked after.

Good food good service and nothing too much for staff they came to table and asked everything was ok when we had finished thy asked me wood I come back yes

Nice place to come for meal and drinks.

Great food excellent service. Will call again

Can get very busy, have been a few times now where you can't get served food, but when you do get served the food is very good

Very nice. God location, friendly staff' and lovely food.

This is a great place to stop off and have a drink and a meal the staff are great and helpful this is our second visit and we will definitely be going again

Called in on way home today...looked at menu....some grest meals on there.....was hungry...but not that hungry...so we settled for a couple of baguettes....a brie and cranberry baguette...and a turkey and cranberry baguette......came with proper chunky chips...home made coleslaw...side salad..........couldnt fault it.....certainly not expensive....and two halves of "ilkley bitter".......Will be going back....

Well worth the visit been before and just as good

Lovely food and staff. Great choice of real ale and other beers.Cheaper then most in the area, with a huge beer garden for summer and four open fires for winter. Large car park, dogs welcome and 5 B&B rooms.

We arrived as a large group who were camping in the rain needing hot food and somewhere dry. We was made very welcome and the landlady was very accommodating as we had disabled children and 2 dogs. Service was great and the food was delicious Would recommend highly.

I know the other reviews are for the most part glowing, and the accommodation may well be that, but my recent experience of eating at the pub wasn’t good at all, especially from the service point of view. Overall we were waiting an hour to be served, I mean does it really take 35 minutes to get really bland potato skins and cream of mushroom soup with the consistency of water to be served? The mains of which I had the pork and black pudding sausages which I have had there before were at best average! They have let their standards slip and to me you can see in the owners faces that the enthusiasm has degraded!

Great meal on a Sunday after a long walk. Inside and outside well comfortable. Deffo go again.

Lovely stop off point for breakfast friendly staff

Called in after a visit to Stump Cross Caverns. The reception was friendly and professional; the service was excellent and the food was quite superb. Atmosphere and setting cannot be faulted. Would most certainly come here again.

Fantastic country pub. Serving great food & a very good choice of drinks. Always made very welcome & appreciated by the staff. Highly recommended

Beautiful food, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Very busy, recommend reserving a table.

Great Sunday lunch. Lovely people lovely place.

Good food, friendly staff. Great value for money, will be back 😋

Nice and clean rooms, great friendly staff 👍👍👍

Allison and Andy run an amazing place. Never disappointed with the food, service, or atmosphere. Our favourite pub!

Really excellent service, we were lucky to be seated at a table for 2 with short notice on a Sunday lunchtime. All the staff were really friendly, and the food was really delicious!! Highly recommend before or after a lovely walk in nearby surroundings. Delightful.

The best food and staff you could ever want

Fantastic food & friendly staff
