J D Wetherspoon in Harrogate

Great to meet, chat, & and affordable meals

Nice drinks with friendly staff.

Great cosy enviroment. We enjoyed a Katsu curry and a kids meal

very hearty and cheap breakfast

Popped in for one drink, what an awful loud bar, with people wrecked at 1pm, this is a family pub, people swearing too, maybe okay on a night but awful at lunch time with children about. Horrible experience today sat afternoon shocked for a nice town like Knaresborough. I had to leave

We had an issue with an order, female short black hair possibly a senior member on the bar we just went up to ask a question about what we could do but she was absolutely awful about it and dealt with it horribly, we had asked politely about what we could do about the matter but all we got was a moody and grumpy response , no sympathy or a solution to the matter and was just down right rude about it and then to top it all off one of the orders didn’t come for an hour as they had clearly cleared it off without being finished. The food took 45 minutes to come. Absolutely awful experience.

Nice pub in the centre of town.

One of the best wetherspoons we have visited, two vegetarian breakfast nice and hot ( didn't eat vegan sausage,not a fan since you changed them from quorn), very clean, good coffee, first spoons with a chaise lounge in the wc.

Good clean comfortable area, with great value food and drink.

Usual great service, food attractively presented. Friendly staff, well done. Great value with varied menu, will certainly return

The food was cold ordered beans but they were cold he said they had just been out of the kitchen will not be going there again

While on holiday in Knaresborough, had drinks and food in here and as you you sit and watch your surroundings,they are not very good at clearing tables so other people can sit for food and drinks and we had a long wait for our food which could have been hotter. There was one member of staff who ran rings round the younger ones she never stopped but I suppose that's wetherspoons and it won't change.

Our local 'Spoons. Always consistent service and food. Nice and reliable. Friendly team through the week, never been in on a weekend so no idea how busy it gets.

Quiet place. In a great town though.

Very nice setting , comfy and clean . Breakfast good , plenty of coffee , would recommend 👌.

Great pub lots of room good quality food and atmosphere

Busy popular pub, so a bit noisy. As usual though with spoons decent food at a sensible price👍

More staff needed Dirty tables Burger wasn't nice

Saturday afternoon meal to be recommended . Forgot to take reading glasses. Staff behind the bar very understanding and helped explaining and ordering menue. The steak was to be highly recommended. 😋

Lots of staff running about but did not seem to be doing a lot, one just stood looking at me and said I'm not serving, 10 mins before we were served in a polite nice manner, but the food did not get to the table until 45 mins later, we was offered food twice, but they had got the wrong table, the place was busy but we were not advised of how long a wait would be.

Just had the worst bowl of uncooked porridge (tried twice to make it but still not right) and the number of blueberries with it was laughable! Miners breakfast has vastly reduced in size. Won't be bothering again - food really gone down the pan in Spoons!!

Just called in for drink nice and refreshing nice little garden for smokers

The table was very sticky and needed a good clean. The chips were white and not very nice.

Friendly staff very well organised staff

The upstairs toilets were good. Downstairs the service was slow, half the tables occupied, four people waiting for service at the bar, server taking his time, other staff wondering about, the place, one cleaning tables. I only had an hour before my train. So I lost patience and left.

Typical, reliable Wetherspoon quality and value. Nice Pub close to town centre, railway station and Castle.

Only popped in for a beer,loved the Oak paneling, would recommend, friendly staff

Had to wait over an hour and a half for our food to come out then it wasn't very warm or nice

Great pub , staff a bit slow at the bar but though

Brilliant staff,food simple tasty and reasonable price

Popped in for a late lunch. Service and food very good

Did not have ANY lagers when we visited. Food was alright, but nothing special

Awsome breakfast and much needed on Knaresborough bed race day and had a fantastic view for the full procession of bed floats

there was no cheese on my cheesy chips which costs an apaling £5.41 for a few measly chips and a light sprinkle of cheese , and a pea which i found beneath the 6 chips which was served and soggy nachos

not coming back here customers are treated as garbage, the staff are bullies and will ruin your day for no reason other than there own power trips and arrogance

Excellent venue, puts others I could mention to shame,.

Good food Good service Good prices You can't go wrong

Typical Wetherspoons, food was the same as every other Wetherspoons. We sat outside on the beer garden as it was a lovely hot sunny day. There was someone smoking nearby us whilst we were eating however a member of staff politely let the lady know that there was a designated smoking area away from where everyone was sat eating and drinking. As a non smoker this was a refreshing change. All in all the food was nice, the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was spot on.

Been here a few times the bar staff are friendly and the food is excellent the atmosphere overall is great always enjoy coming here for a drink when I visit Knaresborough

Its a Wetherspoons.....but this one is in Knaresborough which makes it a little bit special.

really good food and service with a smile too.

I wish staff would concentrate on serving customers waiting at the bar instead of doing other tasks. Customers pay your wages, no customers, no need for staff. Plenty of quiet times to do the nitty gritty jobs. CUSTOMERS COME FIRST!!!! Not here seemingly, any other job comes first

Didn't have anything to eat, but looked OK.

Been going to Wetherspoons for years! I honestly think Knaresborough is the best! The waiters are very friendly, especially the waitress Ireland! The food is always delicious and fast. Thanks Knaresborough!

I am writing this review not for the food, which was nice, cheap and as ordered, but for the service. The lady behind the bar was outstanding ,we were ten minutes before we could order our meals but let us get our lattes while waited. Then when I explained my partner had a mushroom allergy she not only put it on the order but rang down to the kitchen so they definitely got it. What excellent service and thank you.

We had a very pleasant lunch on our visit. The staff were efficient and cheerful.

Staff friendly, prices good. Mixed grill rubbish, I've had fatter bacon than the "steaks" I got with the mixed grill.

Friendly staff, good service and lively food.

It's a spoons, it does the job. The staff are wonderful but there are other far better places to go in town that won't leave eye roll worthy magazines on the table. Go somewhere else, spend a quid extra and pay into the local economy.

My chicken was like rubber staff not very friendly or welcoming.

Lovely little pub, sadly it appears the staff dropped the ball today and what should have been a fantastic burger was disappointing, an hour wait would have been fine given the lunch rush, but the meals felt like they'd been on the hot hold for atleast 20 minutes, could have been better, not the worst I've experienced but no where near close to the beat I've had either

OK, I have to admit that I am not a great fan of this chain of pubs but like Woolworths, their policy of plenty and cheap has it's attractions. The building is a tardis bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Situated on a steep hill with lots of competition nearby the main observation I got was "where does one park" and the place is well used and in need of a bit of maintenance. The "help yourself to coffee refills" is a great help to designated drivers.

A great Wetherspoons! Went there on a Saturday late afternoon, with a good atmosphere with tourists & locals. The young staff seemed to be very busy & engaged in what they were doing which was good to see, although maybe they were a bit stretched serving drinks behind a busy bar & serving customers at their tables using the drinks ordering app. We ordered food which came about 10 mins after ordering which was fine & the food itself was simple but tasty & filling. The toilets were in good condition & clean but upstairs (as in all wetherspoons, more downstairs space for tables & customers I suppose) Overall a pleasant visit with thanks to the nice staff there.

Lovely wetherspoons but could do with some tlc in places

A lovely, cheap as chips wetherspoons

The food was good, the beer was cold, the prices were great, the staff were friendly and welcoming and made an effort with the customer. Everything came quickly. Well done. Great job.

Friendly staff good food ace beer awesome 👍

It's a spoons. Just like the rest. Great to stop in, but they are plenty of pubs in Knaresborough

Did had really pleassent experience at yours , thank you so much for great atmosphere, especially to girl that was alwayse smyling, Hollie is her name. Thank you Hollie x

Went in for breakfast and it was absolutely lovely. Bacon was really tasty. Best spoons breakfast ever. Staff were really pleasant.

Best spoons breakfast I've had. It was really tasty. Bacon was lovely. .everything in the pub was clean and staff very pleasant.

Had two glasses of wine. First glass was filthy, second one wasn't even a wine glass, staff were arguing between themselves, not impressed at all. Would have probably stayed longer but bit in those surroundings

Was served by a lovely Irish girl called tash who gave us great recommendations on food will definitely be back

Lead Manager has no customer service skills. Treats customers who have previously had bad experiences with her and targets them. Very unprofessional and when she took my friends drinks off them, just after paying for them, she laughed. I was being accused of something she said she heard me say about her and that was final. I had the backing of other customers and after asking that I wanted to make a complaint, I was shown the door. Horrible women.

Out of control Manager with double standards. Loves confrontation and targeting certain people. Abosoultely horrible person.

Met up at the crown in Knaresborough yesterday to meet my brother for his birthday. It was easy to get served considering how busy it seemed to be. There was a lot of empty plates left on tables however the staff where non stop and seemed to be working hard. 2 members of staff caught my eye Holly and Ed, they had smiles on their face and were non stop. Would definitely give a heads up for the effort and will be visiting more often. Cheap beer and friendly faces.

very busy, food was de-lish( i order chicken tikka every time i go to spoons) where ever we are, but the kids enjoyed their jackets potatoes too, floor was filthy though needed hoovering, maybe because busy i dont know🤔, but ok.

been in here for many bevs, laurie's bar service is exceptional

Pleasant experience overall, great value drinks , cheaper than Harrogate spoons. Had a few scoops , I was most impressed my the warm and welcoming atmosphere and cheap drinks. I was served by lovely helpful and smiley lass , I think she said her name was Holly. Smiley and tattoos anyway. I will be back soon. Keep up the good work team knaresborough spoons.

Unfortunately I spilt my food down myself. The staff were vigilant and brought me everything to clean myself up. Was unexpected and appreciated. Big thanks to hollie you are a real asset to the team.

Staff are very friendly especially the Irish girl Natasha, food was great and the place had a great atmosphere

Stopped in for a bite and some drinks. There was plenty of seating and the drinks selection was excellent and well priced. The bartender, Tash, was very friendly and gave me some helpful suggestions on what to try next, all of which went down well. Worth stopping in if you are in the area.

Brilliant service from Laurie the other night, friendly and lovely food and drinks

Have had breakfast here many times with the family, always lovely and the service from that young lad laurie was great!

Myself and my husband came in for the first time, we were served by a young lady called tash who was very helpful and polite throughout our visit. Food was very good and reasonably priced. would definitely recommend

Great food, good atmosphere, served by Tash - very helpful and pleasant

That Irish lass is great , tash, great food and service

Nice service in a big open plan pub. Pop in for a drink next time you're in Knarsborough

Great place for food and drink asper witherspoons pub

Came over from Harrogate (prefer Knares & Ripon ‘Spoons) as not as noisy 👍🏽 10 Soicy chicken wings & chips was on my table in 5mins’. All washed down with their Chocolate Stout (in their Beer festival). Worth coming over for

Had the chicken burger. Comes with a drink so its great value as always.

Great food as always and at a good price.

Busy Friday night and weekends.

Disabled toilet abused by all n dirty n no flush working.

1 staff member behind the bar.. tables dirty and full of plates and glasses

Quite busy for a dinner time, nice pub staff were friendly and polite.

I used to like Wetherspoons but it's pretty poor now. The food is pretty awful and service not brilliant, it's not the staffs fault, we visited on a Half term Saturday so very busy. There was one person on the bar trying to keep up with serving everyone on a very long bar, he did a good job despite people complaining. The food was truly awful, burnt burgers, I could have soled my shoes with. My friend had the wrong food brought, we'd all finished eating, as much as we wanted to, before her replacement meal arrived, which she sent back. There seemed hardly any staff, the ones that were there did their best but also some supervision might have helped. We won't eat there again. The best thing you can say is there are cheap drinks. Our table was full of dirty glasses and plates and my friend cleared them and had to queue with people waiting at the bar for a cloth to clean a sticky table. Sorry I hate to say but from being impressed by the Wetherspoons formula I won't eat with them again.

A decent Wetherspoon but nothing special

A large and popular Wetherspoons on the main road in town.

Just another wetherspoon's . Usual food selection. Very busy when visited on Sunday, but still served quickly and very little wait for the food to be served. No car park to be had . Parking is wherever you can find it round and about in Knaresborough centre.

A lovely Irish bartender made me feel very at home while i was on my own. She was a lovely person and a very good bartender.

A fairly typical Spoons. Great value for money. Friendly staff. Not too busy.

The food was nice and there fast Service

A really nice place to go for a quiet drink. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Plenty of seating available. The ambience is good. Toilets facilities are clean and spacious. It's definitely worth a visit whilst visiting Knaresborough.

Pretty solid Wetherspoons. Quite small and comfortable - the perfect place for a small get together and drinks.

Terrible only good thing is coffee comes from a machine

Great food and service as you would expect from Whetherspoons.

Didn't eat so can't comment about food.

One of the nicer Spoons for a meal during the day.
