Joiners Arms in Harrogate

Wasn't happy after checking website for serving times for Sunday Carvery before setting off on the 30min drive to get there arriving 40mins before it finished to find they already closed it early regardless of what they advertise online.....don't do what I did and arrive hungry to be disappointed and driving away still hungry having to find other solutions.

Had a lovely evening in the joiners, a few great pints and a wonderful dinner, lots to choose from on the menu, everyone really enjoying their meal

Such a friendly, cosy country pub. The staff are lovely, the starters.... camembert and mussels, were divine. I enjoyed my steak pie, although it was a bit on the salty side and needed more gravy. Other than that it was great and the chips are delicious 😋

Great service, great menu choices. Perfectly prepared food Great atmosphere in lovely village pub Would strongly recommend!

We had the Sunday roast dinner cavery, OMG how delicious!! The meats, the veg and even the gravy were all cooked beautifully. A great value meal. Timmy Taylor's Landlord ale too 😀

Excellent lunchtime sandwiches and great beer

Visited this lovely country pub for Sunday lunch after a 5 mile circular walk from its front door. No dogs with us this time so we were seated in the restaurant. The staff are so friendly and we were shown to our table and given little Sunday lunch vouchers which we took with us to redeem at the carvery serving area. A lovely choice of medium rare beef turkey and pork. You can choose which you prefer or you can have a slice of each. There are also sausages and stuffing along with big yummy Yorkshire puddings and a big pot of home made gravy to help yourself too along with a big variety of help yourself vegetables - creamed swede, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, , carrots, yummy cauliflower cheese, ratatouille style vegetable mix. The quality of all the lunch ingredients is superb, and it's so lovely that such things as mash potato and cauliflower cheese are included in the price of £14.95 each is so good and there's a good selection of desserts to choose from, priced at £6.95 each. A little gem of a lovely friendly country pub with delicious food .

Visited Saturday evening for a meal as a family of four plus our dog. Made very welcome and great service from the moment we arrived. Lovely pub with a good atmosphere, plenty choice on the menu. Children had the chicken goujons which were home made. We had the homemade steak and ale pie, which was delicious, served with fresh veg and hand cut chips, all lovely. The cask ale was spot on. Just as another reviewer has mentioned, we too wish our village pub was like this. We will be back to try the Sunday carvery.

Had the carvery today. The food was excellent and we were served and and attended to I a very friendly and professional manner. Thank you The Joiners.

A great spot for Sunday lunch. A warm welcome, excellent range of roast meat and veg, busy with a good vibe. You probably b’need to reserve a table in a Sunday!

Peaceful beer garden Called here for a drink and sat in the beer garden. Peaceful. Friendly staff. We will definately be calling here again and trying the food. The restaurant looked welcoming.

Friendly, attentive service and a fabulous carvery and pudding! Toddler friendly ☺️ thank you for a lovely afternoon.

We have been thinking about going to the Joiners Arms for some time (have lived not far away for quite a while now). We went for dinner today and were not disappointed. The quality of the food was great and the service was very friendly. Perfect ambience too. We will definitely be back soon.

Fantastic welcoming village pub… greeted by lovely staff and friendly atmosphere.. had a delicious meal In the dog friendly beer garden which is a real sun trap will deffinetly be back

Could not resist the special - Monkfish and prawn curry. SO DELICIOUS and a huge portion!

Another lovely meal at this great village pub⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After moving to the village a few years ago we eat in the pub quite often and the food is always amazing like the service the owners are lovely and always helpful If you haven’t had Sunday carvery i suggest you try it as it’s amazing The beer is always on form and never fails to impress Keep up the good work guys

Wonderful family run pub with fantastic food and a friendly welcoming atmosphere.

After reading good things we decided to call in for the Sunday carvery. We had a friendly welcome and were given the £15 dinner tickets. There are three roasts to choose from, beef, ham and turkey and you can have a mix. The beef was nearly down to the last so unfortunately we got the end fatty bits that were not pleasant but the other choices were nice. They had a good choice of vegetables though the cauli was a bit raw in places ! We would return and hopefully get better beef on our plates.

Amazing food , atmosphere and service highly recommend for a great night

I have eaten here many times. The staff are attentive and friendly and the food is amazing. Atmosphere is lovely, everyone is so friendly and approachable. My husband likes cask ale and the beer is very well kept. Will be visiting again very soon. Thanks! Keep up the good work.

Great food and great friendly staff!

Lovely delicious home cooked food tonight, welcoming staff, friendly atmosphere , definitely try the Sunday carvery too 😋👍🏻👍🏻

Great family run pub. Wide range of drinks and food is excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend it enough.

Lovely pub lovely staff and a fantastic meal highly recommend 😄

Stayed nearby for a week and the only regret is we didn’t visit sooner, possibly put off by them not providing a menu online. Needn’t have worried, the choice was plentiful and the food even better. We ate out a lot and this was the best meal of the week - sea bass with bacon mash in a lobster bisque sauce that was superb. There were also burgers, steaks etc on the menu and prices were very good for the quality. The pub itself was lively - seems like a real community treasure. If there was any other regret it’s that I didn’t have room for dessert - that menu looked superb as well

Great food. Lovely, friendly service and a great atmosphere.

What a Sunday carvery. Real Yorkshire pub atmosphere, friendly people and staff, good beer and the food was amazing! The meat was so soft and tasty with a good range of fresh veg. Brilliant place to visit, eat and drink! This place does fill up, though, so booking might be wise.

On a short holiday break in Birswith decided to go for a walk to Hampsthwaite to the Joiners Arms for a Sunday dinner what a find! The Sunday Lunch the best we have had for a long time, Superb. Food excellent, service brilliant, atmosphere lovely. Reasonably priced. We will visit next time we are in the area and recommend to all 5 star!

Lovely food freshly cooked good quantity. Lovely friendly staff.

A wonderful pub staffed by first class staff serving delicious food. We called in for a meal this evening and throughly enjoyed both the food and the excellent beer. Good atmosphere and clearly a very popular place both for eating and drinking. We would highly recommend.

Really nice country pub in a lovely village roast dinner was great,choice of three roast meat,sausage, stuffing a wide selection of veg and Yorkshire pudding and gravy well worth a visit

The Joiners Arms is such a welcoming place and is such an amazing experience when ever I meet friends. The chips are my holy grail and I have to have ordered 6+ in the last couple months they are gorgeous and so is the food in general. The prices aren’t bad at all and the drinks are nice aswell. Staff is lovely aswell 😊

Cheerful traditional pub. Great service, tasty food. Friendly staff.

Pass this pub all the time on way home & never been in before, will definitely be back! Food is absolutely beautiful, clearly have a very good chef in there.

Really nice village pub. Friendly staff. We didn't eat there but the food did look good.

Lovely local pub, great food, beer and excellent friendly staff.

Good Food, Good Drink, great Pub

Lovely Sunday carvery after a circular dog walk around the area. Great food and service.

Very friendly staff, lovely food and a pint of Landlords Brilliant

Having read the reviews my wife and I visited for a meal on a late November Wednesday evening. We ordered as a starter the nachos sharing platter. Lovely. There was so much we couldn’t finish it all! Then the main course. Steak and Guinness pie. Wow! One of the best pies I’ve ever eaten. My wife doesn’t normally have a pie but she really enjoyed it! No room left for dessert we left happy!

The head chef Dan is very friendly and clearly passionate about what he does. It shows in his consistently great food. Best Yorkshire puddings you'll find and beef always cooked to perfection! Great pub all round

Excellent Sunday Lunch carvery and well presented dining facilities.

Excellent Sunday lunch, loads of really tender beef, and a good selection of vege. Toasty out of the cold, and a warm welcome too. Nice attentive staff. We’re going to be regulars! Thanks guys

Proper pub, great food, friendly staff.

Food here is always great. Proper home-cooked food at reasonable prices, friendly staff and warm, cosy atmosphere. Sunday carvery is excellent / better than home and you don’t have to do the washing up! Highly recommended.

Joiners arms Quiz night. ( Sunday evening). Thank you for a lovely entertaining evening. Great Quiz master and beautifully kept Timothy Taylors Boltmaker and Landlord. 5 Stars.

Food is absolutely lovely and friendly staff

A huge part of me doesn’t want to write this as it may encourage others to seek out a wonderful pub hidden in the beautiful village of Hampsthwaite. The food is amazing (hats off to the chef) whether it be the normal menu or the Sunday carvery the food is fresh, home cooked and tastes fantastic. It would be remiss of me not to mention that the staff are almost as good as the food, super service, attentive enough with overdoing it and odd a chorus or two from Chris the singing waiter makes this my favourite pick to eat when we’re up in Harrogate 😀

Great food , great service, and not expensive, l will look forward to a return visit.

A good product eaten in a buzzing atmosphere. The best carvery i have had in a long time. Well done to everyone

Very friendly staff and excellent food

We went today for lunch after dog walk and glad we did. Was without doubt the best steak pie I have ever tasted ...home made pastry and full of tender, juicy steak with no fat or gristle. Rhubarb and apple tart - again home made with rhubarb ice cream was to die for. Highly recommended and will be back.

Lovely pub welcoming bar lady. Very knowledgeable. Beautiful beer garden except for what we believe may be an air conditioning unit very noisy so moved to rear of garden as fortunately only one other family present. Otherwise splendid

What a great pub, lovely professional service, friendly welcome (including my dog) and the food was amazing. We rang to book a table, when we arrived the pub wasn’t packed so it had a relaxed and peaceful feeling to it. There was a good selection of home made food which was delicious. We had pie, fish and chips and the Moroccan lamb burger. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The prices were good too. I just wished I lived closer so that I could pop regularly!

Great food! Great service! Will def come back

Another Sunday lunch carvery. Spot on.

Excellent service excellent staff .

We were staying in the village for 3 nights for the show, we went for the final night and wished we had gone the other 2 nights, excellent food best curry I have had, great steak, all homemade fantastic puddings, and tasty wine and beer,we are from Wales we had a fantastic welcome will definitely be back next year.

Excellent carvery, no skimping on the meat portions as per Toby outlets. Friendly and efficient family run pub.

Excellent Sunday carvery today. Party of eleven. Service great and the food delicious: beef,gammon and turkey with an array of lovely vegetables all cooked to perfection. It was so good we had to have a desert to complete the meal.

Great place for a pint. Good food.

Thursday night very busy in tap room like a pub should be! Which is rare now adays.And great beer with great staff to go with it!

Absolutely delicious and a great environment

What a tremendous little pub!.... went for Sunday lunch which all of us thought was outstanding... really well made and generous portions. Deserts also home-made and equally good. Would recommend as a perfect venue for a meal for family / friends.

Tonight is the 1st time we have eaten at The Joiners Arms & it wouldn’t be the last. First impression clean warm & inviting. The server was very helpful gave us the space to taken in the menu & was their when we wanted to place our order. We had Squid as a starter, mains of Sea Bass & Hake all fish was cooked perfect we could clearly see the person that Cooked our dishes had pride & care in the presentation Thank You

Lovely pub, not a huge menu but food was hot and tasty.

Precioso pub inglés con variedad de exquisitas cervezas

What a fantastic place! We went for a carvery, the food was amazing, great quality and quantity, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommended 10/10

This is the pub that I wish I had in my village! Proper home cooked British food served with excellent ales and friendly cheer. I ate here with my family of 5and our dog, and I can say that everyone jumped on the idea of coming back again 2 days later. (Note: the menu is on a chalkboard so check the photos to get an idea of what is on offer... and, if you're confused by older reviews, some date back to 9 years ago)

Popped in to dodge a heavy rain shower while out walking. Lovely country pub. Good range of beers. We didn’t eat at the pub, but meals were being served. Attentive staff. Made to feel very welcome.

One of my favorite pubs. The food is amazing, great portions and friendly staff. Food selection is vast and ever changing which keeps me trying new dishes each visit. Can't say there is anything I haven't liked. A family favorite.

A very nice experience, the food was good and service was good

Went to quiz night, really good night. Quizmaster very funny.

Lovely friendly staff and very good buffet provided for uncles wake

Was the power of Facebook saw a post about the joiner's arms and thought we must go well it didn't disappoint the staff are very friendly and so helpful we both had Sunday carvery cooked perfectly and plenty of choice of vegetables i would highly recommend thanks to the joiners arms for the lovely Sunday dinner

Amazing food and friendly atmosphere Pie looked great and the Rump Steak was incredible

Fantastic village pub full of friendly locals. Run by Becky and Tony and their fantastic staff the food is wonderful. There is a great selection of beers. Totally recommend it.

1st time we have been here and will definitely be returning. The Sunday Carvery was delicious. Staff were extremely friendly and polite will be recommending to friends.

Really enjoyed the pubs atmosphere, staff friendly & food good. Went back to enjoy their Sunday carvery.

Had Sunday roast and it was fantastic. Cozy place too

We are regulars at this lovely little pub. Really friendly and welcoming staff. Varied menu and all good home cooked food. My husband likes the beer too!

What a find! We went to the Sunday carvery following good reviews. The food was excellent, all home cooked and a good choice. The beef was cooked to perfection & melted In the mouth. The chef Dan was very welcoming towards us & the children & was a very pleasant guy. Everything was spot on. Food, drink, service & ambience. Really looking forward to returning again in the new year

Loved this place. Visited whilst seeing the amazing panto at the memorial Hall. It's really cosy and welcoming.

The food was absolutely fantastic. There was nothing pretentious about it. It was seriously good, hearty, wholesome, superbly prepared food. It wasn't an overloaded plate. It was of such good quality and so well prepared and cooked that I didn't have room for a dessert. I was so pleased with our meals that we asked to speak to the chef (Dan) personally. He was so modest that he thought I was going to complain. He was really pleased that he had been asked to come out to be congratulated by a customer. I was so impressed with my meal on the Friday that I booked a table for the Saturday. I wasn't disappointed, I had been so impressed on the Friday that I 'paced' myself so that I could have a pudding. Once again, I was delighted with the quality and preparation of the food. The Timothy Taylor beers were also 'on song'. I had had the Blonde on Friday and the 'Landlord' on the Saturday. Both were delicious. The service in the restaurant was good as well. The staff were friendly, helpful and polite both evenings.

This pub was the destination after our Halloween classic car run. We all had the carvery, which was very good indeed. There was Pork, Beef or Turkey on offer, and a good array of vegetables. The roast potatoes in particular were very good. Helpful staff, and good quick service, too. One last thing. It's so often the case that the food at a carvery isn't always hot. It's normally tepid at best, but no worries here. The food and the plates were hot, and all the better for it, too. In conclusion, a really nice pub to visit. Especially after a jaunt around the countryside. Well worth a visit.

Always a really nice experience… friendly helpful staff, lovely atmosphere in the bar (open fire in autumn/winter) and delicious pub food - pretty perfect for a village pub!

Lovely village pub with very a very friendly, authentic atmosphere.

First time at this venue and it certainly won't be the last. The food was 10/10 and the staff if possible deserve an even higher rating. Very well organised and priced and the choice was turkey, beef or pork or a combination of all. Vegetables...

Great food. Very friendly people.

We went to the Joiners Arms with friends who live locally but who had also never eaten there before.The Sunday Carvery was absolutely delicious. The choice of vegetables were the best we have had and everything was so tasty! The staff were lovely, attentive and...

My partner and I had a delicious meal here recently, the steak was cooked to perfection and the puddings were spot on. The staff were also super friendly and efficient. We'll definitely back next time we're in the area!

A pub as a pub should be. Cozy and and service with a smile. Good folks

terrible food cold will never be back

Not a bad Sunday roast. Would call again.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff made us feel welcome.

Excellent food. Super friendly staff and Moretti. Happy days.

Came for Sunday carvery, first time ever here and it’s so good! The chef was there serving the food, really nice gentleman and definitely knows what he’s doing. Service was really good too and food was delicious.
