Montpellier Pub in Harrogate

A great pub with a lovely coal fire , the staff are friendly and chatty and recommended an IPA which the husband tried out . We would’ve stayed longer but were on a market day trip . Would definitely go back here if in Harrogate again

Stayed in Harrogate for 2 nights , visited this pub on both occasions. Husband loved Timothy Taylor’s , he said best pint he’d had in Harrogate. Great pub , lovely staff and even the landlord remembered us from previous night, that says it all. Definitely worth a visit.

Wanted to enjoy a nice pint outside in the sun but we were greeted very rudely by a man who didn’t even look like staff and was very rude and wasn’t welcoming at all. Won’t go again.

Timothy Taylors Landlord perfect and Theakstens Old Peculiar fantastic. Appreciated the tips to eat out during our stay in Harrogate from the owner. If you like a decent pint find this classic pub.

Lovely sunny Monday in Harrogate sitting outside pleasant environment early evening People watching whilst enjoying chilled wine and beer Gentleman behind bar very friendly and helpful likewise other drinkers advice on where we could eat Highly recommended and we visited the following evening though no sunshine but venue and same young man serving making the visit another pleasing one

Perhaps the best pint I've had in a pub, Theakstons Old Peculiar, but wow is it expensive. A pint and half a Strongbow cider, £8.50. Same pint in Wetherspoons is £2.46. Being a true Yorkshireman, guess where I was drinking Old Peculiar from then on? Also, a bit strange, you couldn't stand up and drink, outside the pub, but could take your glass 50 yards away and sit on the wall and drink it, outside some-one else's premises....

Went to this pub on a break in Harrogate, the Landlord was very friendly and the pub itself was clean and tidy with a nice open fire. The downside to this pub is the Drinks are very expensive whether it is a glass of wine, a beer or a cocktail you choose to drink. You need a big wallet to drink here. They do not serve food.

We visited this pub by chance when visiting Harrogate. Lovely warm welcome from the landlord who has in my option one of the best kept pints of Timothy Taylor’s I’ve ever tasted. Fantastic.

nice pub,,,but £18.20 for a double Gordons gin & tonic and a pint of landlord bitter. won't be visiting again.

£17.00 for 2 large glasses of house wine !!! It’s a pub, nothing special, they weren’t even serving food. We sat outside as it was a sunny day. The landlord was sat out too, no table service. 3 ladies opposite paid £25 for 3 cocktails.

Lovely little bar but spoilt by the attitude of the younger guy behind the bar. So condescending…no need! Won’t return!

£20.40 for two pints of San Miguel, two bags of crisps and a bag of peanuts, I don’t think so! Won’t be drinking at this establishment anymore, shame!

Walking around Harrogate on a hot and sunny Sunday late afternoon, we spotted the only outside table that had just become vacant and sat down. The landlady walked over and wiped the table down and we ordered drinks from the bar to take outside. A very pleasant outside seating area.

Wanted to find a traditional pub outside of the main streets and this was ideal. Outdoor seating available but we sat indoors. The Theakstons Blonde beer was excellent and my wine was also great quality. Friendly bar man and well kept pub. Had a good traditional feel, homely and welcoming.

Post Covid, the pub no longer provides meals but it is a nicely presented pub with good beers and spirits, a freidnyl and helpful owner and a nice place to sit, watch the world go by and to enjoy a few pints and or nice extras! Went twice, wound go again. Went daytime only so not sure about night time atmos but nice and one can sit out and enjoy the sunshine too. Great recommendation from the owner for dinner - see the review on Gianni's Brio - Italian restaurant

Whenever we come to Harrogate. We always end up here 😃 great place, fantastic friendly staff. Keep the strongbow on tap & we won’t go anywhere else. Did try passion fruit martini on tap as so inviting & was lush

Landlord anything but friendly. I know the COVID19 rules can be complicated but this establishment is simply making them up. No table service Orders being taken at the barInsisting on using T&T app and refused to take name and number insteadStaff not wearing masksGot the impression he runs it like his own personal fifedom not as a business with any interest in customer service or making you feel welcome.

Always visit this pub when in Harrogate. The landlord is running a tight ship, adhering to the irksome Covid regulations but I found the service and the drinks to be excellent as usual. One bonus of Covid perhaps - the outside tables have spilled further over the pavement. Great views of the public gardens.The only place I've found in Harrogate for Theakston's Old Peculier!

My husband and I called at the Montpellier for a relaxing drink to celebrate my 71st birthday. My husband went into the bar to order and was told he had to scan the Covid app. He replied that he didn't have his phone but would supply our details. The owner/barman snarled at him and said " No app, no drink". I took my phone inside and attempted to download the app but there was no wifi signal and no password available. I told him this and pointed out that the notice said "either scan the code or give your details." He looked at me as if I was dirt on his shoe and snarled "we don't take details. Get the app or go." This was in front of a bar full of people. I can safely say in all my 71 years I have never been shouted at, or snarled at in public. This was from someone in his early 50's who being in the hospitality trade should know better.SHOULD BE A ZERO RATING.

Called in at the Montpellier to see Andy and Lisa, as we do every time we're in Harrogate.They are doing everything to ensure that their customers are safe, you need to track and trace as you go in, then go to the bar and place your order, and they will bring your drinks to your table, hopefully outside if the weathers good.Had a large white wine and a pint of Timothy Taylor and it cost just over 10 pound, so don't believe the reviews saying it was overpriced.They are not serving food at the moment due to restrictions.

I visited this Public House as a foreign tourist for a drink on a pleasant summers day to sit outside and enjoy the view of Montpellier Gardens. Upon arriving I was instructed by the Owner that I MUST register using the NHS Track and Trace App. I explained that I was a foreign tourist and did not have the App, and neither did I have a smartphone, but was prepared to give my name and contact details in order to comply. The rude Owner shouted at me so that everyone in the bar heard, 'NO NHS APP NO SERVICE ...THAT IS THE LAW'. I left vowing never to return to this establishment.

I will never visit this pub again. I have been going to Harrogate for years and frequent this pub every time I go either with my husbands or friends. The landlord took an instant dislike to my friends and I just for trying to sit at table outside.. He spoke to us absolutely disgusting was arrogant and then proceeded to make his own rules up about the seating arrangements, changing his mind several times as to what the rules were. There was a funeral party there at the time and he seemed quite stressed trying to accommodate them which is fair enough but he should not treat the rest of his other customers with the contempt that he showed five mature ladies. We didn't deserve to be treated the way we were and I would not recommend this establishment especially to ladies. The Licensing Officers need to take a look at this pub.

Just arrived called just for a relaxing drink outside, a customer told me I had to go in to get a drink and ware a mask, barman abruptly said can you track and trace, I told him I didn’t have my phone, he said I can’t serve you unless you download the NHS app, there was no forms to fill like most places we go, he basically was forcing me to get an app that I don’t want, left and found a much more relaxed bar “THE BLUES” round the corner now relaxed. By the way it’s not law to have the NHS app. If you want a relaxing drink DONT! Go there

A landlord with no respect for others we had a girly weekend 4th JuneFirst one after lockdown we are five middle-aged mature professional women with lots of experience the weather was beautiful and we were all in a good mood until we decided to call this pub for a drink outside in the Sun There were couples and groups in a large funeral group spread about we attended to look for a table to be told we could not stay -the landlord direct to just to drink at the side of the property or the grass area across from the pub A couple left so we grabbed this table and chairs to sit next to a group of a similar size The landlord then returned commenting ‘I told you I don’t want you here ‘ in a derogatory manner -he tried to make us like dirt on his feet Has 2 experience social workers, a police worker, educational personal assistant and a previous manager of a retail shop we have never experienced being treated so badly this landlord has some serious issues and needs help and a good course in interpersonal skills and customer care A young were waiter at fat badger and more skill in his little finger so be warned you may have a terrible experience visiting this pub from the horrible narcissistic landlord who has no clue if I knew or to report into council I would

Went for a girly weekend and had it totally ruined by this horrible obnoxious man who I think owned or who ran the pub. Told us we weren't welcome and that we couldn't stay, made the rules up as he went along.This guy needs to go, he's a poor representative of a publican. Doesn't even deserve one star.

Myself and 4 lovely friends went for our first much anticipated "girly" weekend away in Harrogate last weekend following the lifting of restrictions. Just to give some context we are all professional women in our 50s. We were having a lovely time enjoying the sunshine and being together after so long apart. After enjoying a lovely lunch at the Fat Badger (which is AMAZING by the way and which we would highly recommend) we decided to have a glass of wine at the Montpellier, a pub which we have often frequented in the past. It was so warm we decided to stay outside (observing the group of 6 rule of course) We were trying to find a place to sit and we asked the landlord, Andrew, if there was anywhere we could sit. He quite abruptly and rudely suggested we "sit on the grass over the road". Well, being ladies of a certain age we of course much prefer the comfort of a chair when sipping out Prosecco and to be fair some of us might not even be able to get back up again if we sat on the grass so we stood for a while longer but then noticed there was a table near the front entrance of the pub. Right next to this on an adjacent table was a group of 6 people. As there were only 2 chairs at the table we had spied we asked people sitting at other tables if we could borrow some chairs until we managed to find 5! Brilliant we thought, a nice comfortable place to finish our drinks. About 5 minutes later Andrew, the Landlord came out of the door and said "Hey you cant sit there only 2 people allowed at that table" ??? Why? we asked politely, "Council rules" he retorted. We said, puzzled, "ok but how come there are 6 people at the next table? His response was "I don't want you here move!" which we did but of course we were somewhat affronted! To add insult to injury the next minute 8 people pulled up chairs and sat at the very same table (only meant for 2 apparently the council said?) We pointed this out to Andrew whose churlish response was "That's different they have all been to a funeral so they can have 30 people" Really? Whilst we completely respect that those people would want to be together and would have been more than happy to accommodate being told rudely that we are not welcome is not the best customer service I have ever experienced. We decided that we would leave and go somewhere where we felt welcomed (as it happened the Fat Badger welcomed us with open arms) This experience really upset us and put the dampeners on our lovely weekend and we can say with confidence we will NEVER frequent the Montpellier again nor would we recommend it to anyone else

Went to this pub yesterday with my other half, filled in the track & trace as is expected these days. Was told to go to the bar and order the drinks and they would be brought to our table. Went into the pub and ordered 2 Black Sambuca and a pint of Snake Bite. Upon on ordering the Snake Bite I was immediately informed by the manager that I could no longer be served in the pub and would have to leave. This was purely and simply due to the fact that I had ordered a pint of Snake Bite. Now please someone correct me if I’m wrong, but as a grown man of 58 years old I’m pretty sure that I’m allowed to order a snakebite if that is what I want to drink! I understand that this is a mixture of lager & cider and a little stronger than other pints that people order but at the same time it is weaker thank some lagers that you can buy on their own. Now what is the difference between me & other customers who were sitting drinking cocktails that have a various number of alcoholic spirits mixed together and are probably as strong if not stronger than my pint of snakebite. It is safe to say this is a pub that I will be avoiding from now on.

Turned away because I never had the NHS app.Even after offering my details.Disgusting.Discrimination at the highest level. We don’t all have access to the Nhs app.When my wife pointed out that you don’t need to have the app as long as you give your details he just kept on repeating Nhs app over and over again.

After a pleasant couple of days in Harrogate we popped in for a quick drink. Lovely looking pub in a prime location so I did wonder why it was comparatively empty. 1 pint Timmy Taylor's Landlord1 white wine and soda1 coke £16.20. Yes, I could have walked out and not paid but, like most victims of sudden trauma, I was shocked and handed my card over. Nothing wrong with the drinks and the girl behind the bar was very pleasant hence the two star review. Avoid.

No food was being served during my visit, so unable to comment. The pub has a cosy atmosphere and a good selection of beers etc. served by lovely staff. Great place to relax after hours of shopping !!

Wouldn’t serve husband and I a drink because we had a 2 week old before 7pm on an outside table? Strange, won’t be back without child!

We only had a drink here but sitting outside was lovely. Barmaid was efficient, pub wasn't too busy (Wed night) Bit expensive we thought, due to location - we thought. Overall okay.

I went there yesterday night with 2 friend from Harrogate and I bought 1 pint in the bar, we went outside as we didn’t want to be indoors and sat on 1 of the middle table (there were 3 in total, all the same size and no one else was there and it was around 9-10pm) the manager came out and ordered us to move to the further table as she said that is the one for 3 people even tho there were only 2 sits in each table and again, all the tables the same size, me and my other 2 friends find it weird but we moved as ordered, I only drank ½ of my pint and my friend went to buy me another ½ pint for me and 1 pint for him and he was told in the bar by a member of the staff that I was ban for not reason at all, he came outside to tell me this and his words were: the manager has ban you but no reason given!...(by the way the bar staff was also a friend of mine and he knows me well and even him said this was unfair and he didn’t understand too and he tried to speak to her about it but she refused and stuck to her irrational decision) funny enough I was the only none white person on the pub...weird?.. I wasn’t drunk at all and I didn’t do any troubles in the pub and 90% of the pubs in Harrogate knows me that I am not a troublemaker....avoid this pub at all cost!.. for what I felt they are super racist and unfair and that manager shouldn’t even be allow to work in any job that is related to customer service!... I feel super upset, angry and I never thought in my 17 years living in UK that I will experience such a thing, specially in the town where I lived for more than 3 years!... I am speechless!...

Fancied a chilling drink in the sun but my colleague got abuse from the landlord for eating his sandwich outside even though they weren't serving / selling food themselves ..there is a tactful and politeness way to approach this ..i think he needs to go back to old school training on customer service !!

We bought drinks here and sat at a table outside on the pavement. I started to eat a sandwich I'd bought in Tescos but the landlord was straight over and very abruptly told me I couldn't eat any food on his premises that hadn't been bought there (they aren't selling food because of covid 19). His manner was quite aggressive and I answered him in the same abrupt manner. I told him I am diabetic and needed to eat something. I had thought because we were outside on the public pavement and he wasn't serving food this would be acceptable but he started quoting some Act or other. I don't know if he was right or wrong but his attitude could have been much better and ruined the atmosphere for everyone with hearing distance. He wasn't exactly having a quiet word!

Called in on a lunchtime due to tables outside being in the sunlight. Not asked to complete track and trace details, ordered drinks from the bar and was told cash or card, up to me. I was not informed of the price and paid cash. The price of a pint and a medium wine seemed expensive compared to other bars and when I queried the price was told quite curtly yes its correct. I got the impression the barman/landlord was not enjoying the whole Covid experience, whilst the outdoor seating area was really busy he was not exactly welcoming and made a comment that the new restrictions for the North East had made his day !! Could have been a much nicer experience.

Fantastic service and great location. Bar man is a stunner ;) Very reasonably priced Sat outside on a lovely late summer night

Party of 2 females. Wanted a quiet drink and ordered 2 drinks at the bar and stood at a table nearby. Someone came over and told us we need to sit down due to covid restrictions (he came really close up to us to tell us this).We then sat at a table chatting quietly for half an hour then got told that the table was 'reserved'. However, I suspect that we were told it was reserved so we would hurry up and leave because our glasses were empty. I did want to buy another drink but I didn't get another one as I didn't feel welcome. I could not see anybody waiting for the 'reserved' table. Will not go back to this pub.

The last time we visited Harrogate we did not have a very positive visit, so decided to give it another go. We called in on a Friday night and it was quite busy but we managed to get a table. We were not asked to track and trace and the hand sanitizer was not as you walked in but at the end of the bar.We ordered 2 and a half pints of lager and a raspberry gin and it came to £20, which we thought was very steep. We felt the barman had seen I had £20 in my hand and just made the price up ( this is what happened on our last visit).It is a lovely bar with great taste in music but felt we had been done! I think k the owners were sitting next to us ( as she got up and went behind the bar )and listening to our comments but never said anything to us.We won’t return.

Stumbled across the bar on our first visit to Harrogate. Very welcoming. Enjoyed the atmosphere and background music. Definitely return.

Tables outside were distanced and landlord was quick to wipe them down when people left, however inside we only noticed 1 table had been moved to provide distancing and we were not asked for any contact details for test and trace. It's ok to be walking around with a spray in your hand and putting a hand sanitizer on the wall as you enter but you need to follow government guidelines!!!!! Luckily it wasn't busy when we went and so we felt "safe"

Visited this pub with friends from the area. To say they pay lip service to Covid-19 protection is to overstate their response to this public health issue. The pub operates as it has always done except there is now some sticky tape round the floor of the bar that is ignored. No contact details are taken; there are some signs suggesting giving your contact details through a pub trace website but absolutely no encouragement to do so and no attention drawn to these signs. The pub layout is such that some tables cannot be accessed without compromising social distancing but the staffs only concern was to fill these tables. Avoid if you care about public health.Beer is well kept but prices are well above market rate for Harrogate.

Been to this pub once or twice for lunch and the food is not cheap but always good.This week I opted for the smoked haddock, king prawn florentine and crusty bread (yummy). My partner had fish and chips which came with mushy peas and bread and butter. The staff are pleasant and the food is cooked to order so there is usually a little wait, but well worth it.

The Montpellier is a traditional, British pub with a great lunch and Sunday roast. Excellent staff, home cooked dishes. Fish and chips is basically a whale on the plate, lightly breaded and deep flavor. Steak and Ale pie is rich, set off with a huge mound of puff pastry. Yum! Best of all is the Sunday roast beef, lamb or pork shank, roasted veg, mash and Yorkshire pudding. Come hungry cuz portions are huge. Highly recommend a stop for lunch, but get here early because they sell out fast! A must stop when town.

I love writing reviews but feel reluctant today as I feel I have found a hidden gem and don’t want to share it. I have been here numerous times but just for drinks but today we opted to have lunch . I am a massive Sunday lunch fan and this one is my best so far. The beef melts in your mouth , there Was 2 Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, mash potatoes, mashed carrots , cabbage , green beans , cauliflower cheese. I loved how all the extras came separate so it does not over face you . The gravy was lovely, the stuff that sticks to your food. The plates were hot as was all the food. The place is lovely and clean with a warm welcoming atmosphere. The staff work hard and ensure you have everything you need . Had a lovely glass of Merlot to wash it down with . Can’t wait to go again .

For any visitors who are looking for pub food, Montpellier is not for you.If you are looking for top drawer home made food then do not walk past this little gemThe food is all made by the chef upstairs, none of your bought in substandard food from Costco or bookers. The quality of presentation far outways the standard of many of the eyebrow restaurants in Harrogate .Simple comfort food at prices a tad above pub prices, don’t be put off , the quality of the food and friendly service far outways the extra costI think they do their self a slight disservice by insisting on ordering and paying at the bar. It makes the opportunity to tip not impossible, by unlikely.We were so pleased with our food and service, that we went to the bar to seek out the tips jar

Called in here for Sunday lunch, was great, very ample portions so beware! I had roast beef, wife had lamb shank, both were delicious, staff very attentive and pleasant, looked to be a good range of quality drinks too, only had a shandy as I was driving, we will return sometime to try this place again, nice open fire, made the experience even better

Called in for a meal after a day in Knaresborough. Friendly welcome. Great menu. Fantastic food. Generous portions reasonably priced

Sunday merits a good pub Sunday lunch. We called in by chance on our first visit, It quickly became very busy. Packed. Timothy Taylor Landlord and how I wished I could have had a few more.We waited a good while but it was well worth it. Correct portion but as we were going out for an evening meal, it resulted in not being too greedy. All very tasty indeed, The lady chef/owner with her crazy haircut stole the show and we hadn't heard of cucumber/onion as a condiment for a Sunday roast. Get there early folks.

Popped in for a couple of pints whilst out & about visiting Harrogate. A couple of local Theakston beers & Bradfield Blonde (my local brew from Sheffield). We had the fish butty & the fish cakes. The food was decent quality & freshly cooked enjoyed in a warm friendly environment & in front of a roaring fire! Thoroughly enjoyable.

We had hoped to eat here but unfortunately due to the Christmas Market food stopped at 3pm. We ate elsewhere (unfortunately) then came back for a drink. Staff were excellent. Beer was excellent. Lovely warming open fire. How I wish this was where I live.

Called in for a glass of wine and pint of cider, thought £11.40 was a bit dear, stick to Wetherspoons in future

Visited the Montpellier Saturday afternoon with friends for a beer and a bite to eat. This had become a regular eatery for us as we now great hearty food is guaranteed. The owners are very friendly and the food is fab.

Popped in for a quick drink after a meal at a nearby restaurant. Rude bar staff, to the point my husband was literally followed into the toilet and confronted whilst I ordered our drinks at the bar. No apology for the completely unnecessary rudeness. Which is a shame as it does seem a nice quiet pub but the bar staff certainly need customer service lessons

Went back after having last gone here two years ago. The food is still good and the staff are still accommodating. The menu is relatively long for a pub, but not just a copy of every chain pub group. Food was fresh cooked, as evidenced by the fact they could adjust dishes for individual tastes (no peppers, for example.)

We both had a baguette for our lunch and were very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. The pub was busy on a Saturday lunch time but service was very good. Will definitely be back.

Visited this well placed and nice looking pub only to be served by two young girls busy giggling and chatting amongst themselves and making silly noises behind customers backs if they didn't like them! which was all the customers! pathetic.

We've eaten here a few times and popped in for a drink, great hearty food reasonably priced lovely friendly staff you will not leave here hungry!

We called in here for a lunchtime pint and sandwich during a visit to Harrogate on a National Holidays trip. My wife had a roast beef with horseradish sauce and I had the oven baked ham and Cheddar cheese with chutney. Both sandwiches came with a side plate of fresh salad. I am glad I did not order any chips as both sandwhiches were huge and filled to the brim. Although they wee quite expensive at around £8 each they were the best sandwiches we have ever had in a pub and were well worth what we paid.

After visiting this pub on the 28th June around 10pm. We were welcomed by a very rude barman, or should I say we were not welcomed at all. The pub was empty and I must say I understand why. The drinks were also very expensive. We will not be returning or recommend this pub based on the rude barman.

After a morning shopping in Harrogate, we needed grub and drink! Found this place and after a quick glance at the menu decided we would eat here. I have to say I've eaten Steak and ale pie many times, but none this good. And all our portions were very good sizes. Food is cooked perfectly and they serve great beers too. Old Peculier on tap is rather nice.

What can i say we eat here and now only here

As a previous supporting customer, I am disgusted from my recent visit. To start with, when I entered and remarked that the owner's polishing looked nice and shiny, he stomped off and ignored me. Then the non-smiling young girl served me, practically throwing down the drink at me without any nicety. I'd been in only 1 hour, at which point the owner marched up to me declaring I had to leave. He said I'd been 1.5 hours, but I know from my watch it was 1 hour. I politely asked if he was closing early, as it was only early evening. I was just on my mobile sending a course email. He declared that "we're not an office", and offered me a refund if I left immediately, saying I'd no choice! He said you couldn't even have that long in a restaurant...Well I can say he's incorrect: in all the restaurants here I've visited, they are not hostile like this place regarding a time rule of 1, 1.5 or even 2 hours. I said let me save my email, then he questioned how long it woukd take, then I said I'd drink up and go, to which he said " No, if I'm giving you a refund you can't drink up!" What was he going to do, pour it back in and re-sell it?! I said I go all over town and no other firm give you 1 hour only before turfing you out, I think it's not a long time. He said "I think it is". I politely pointed out there was nobody else in, except a couple at the bar..." I don't care" were his hospitable words. No kidding! I'm appalled at his inhospitable manner, but as someone else on here said (just on a quick look), it's not a welcoming place. Perhaps why this guy made a new 2019 page to hide previous bad encounters. It's a shame as in the past the young guys serving on were really friendly. But this owner, bizzarely, seems keener on keeping people away. It's comparatively expensive, and the unfairness of the place in comparison with all else that Harrogate has to offer, means I am baffled at this man's choice of a career. Avoid it in my opinion; such ignorance of people is not good at all in our welcoming town.

Been a number of times over a number of years

Loved the pub and location,beer good but top prices,food looked ok but moved on as felt not that a welcoming place for an outsider.

We’d already eaten at Betty’s but the food looked exceptional and portion size massive. I think they need oversize plates for the fish !

Only had a drink in the pub , very expensive ,cost £11.90 for a glass of wine and a pint of Carling lager, pleasant pub but spoilt by the high prices

Have eaten countless F&C; at numerous pubs & shops in my time but I can honestly say that the offering at this pub (to include the obligatory curry sauce at additional cost) was absolutely brilliant. Sizeable, the freshest fish, piping hot and delicious. Friendly service and coming from the West Country, the chance to have one of the best pints this country has on offer, a brilliantly served pint of Old Peculiar at the pump; what’s not to like.

The ambience in this pub was great. Friendly and attentive staff. I had Thai Curry and can honestly say I have never tasted anything as good in years. The people I was with enjoyed their food equally. The bill wasn't bad at all for four people. I would travel to Harrogate just to eat there - about 70 miles.

Excellent excellent, food! For me large portions, ask how big before u order sides incase, we had prawns, really nice, been here when ever we come to harrogate, never had a bad meal, definitely recommend

Awful service. Landlord has a real attitude problem. This used to be a busy pub in the evening and this landlord has sucked the life out of the place. Apparently he doesn’t care excuse it’s busy by day. Goodness knows why considering the tepid welcome, expensive prices and cold atmosphere. Sort it out while you have a business left.

Went here today after walking around town for somewhere to eat lunch (didn’t want a chain). So pleased we stopped here, was busy when we arrived but we found a seat, loads of choice on menu, really friendly member of staff came over and told us about some of menu choices and what had sold out etc. Did not have to wait too long for food and it was lovely! My husband had beef Yorkshire pudding wrap (see pic) was huge! I had pate, there was loads, did not finish it all! The gravy which came with yorkshire pud was so good, homemade and delicious, I had it with the chips we shared! Staff were lovely, came and checked food was ok and were attentive. Will defo go back again! Great find.

Had a wonderful lunch there today. Lovely lovely staff, a real fire, nice drinks and a ton of absolutely lovely food. My wife had the steak and kidney pie and loved it, I had the roast beef; it was I think the best roast I've ever had from any pub anywhere.

Four of us & a grumpy old aunt had a late lunch here on Saturday. Nice variety on the menu & all meals were delicious. I ordered the Thai chicken curry which was a great choice.

I have to say this was the best lunch we have had in some time. Less than £30 for two including a drink each.The food was beautiful and a fantastic choice from hot sandwiches to curry to fish pie and all freshly prepared by a extremley good chef. i very much wish we lived closer to go on a regular basis.

Had lunch here on 18th Dec and were not disappointed.

Very pleasant Sunday late afternoon/evening. Good food and 4 pints of Theakstons Old Peculiar each one as good as as the first. The beer was exceptional. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and customers. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff excellent choices of food good selection of beers well worth a visit if you are in Harrogate Fish

Stopped with friends for lunch whilst visiting Christmas Market. The pub was busy but managed to find a table. The food was worth the wait and the beers and drinks good. Would visit again if in the area.

A fantastic town centre pub, which sells a nice range of drinks each time we come to Harrogate this is the first pub we visit. Really good friendly staff

Stopped off for a quiet beer after dinner. The Theakston Peculiar was very good, the staff friendly and the decor like a proper pub should be!

Really nice town centre pub. Not too noisy. It was a most welcome afternoon stop for a pint of Guinness and even better a glass of mulled wine, although this was quite an expensive option.

Popped in for a drink,unfortunately wasn’t doing food as chef was on holiday. A nice friendly pub tho and love all the funny signs around the place.

My partner and I stopped for a quick drink whilst visiting Harrogate for my birthday. We loved this pub. A cosy and friendly place, with lovely locals. We would recommend anyone visits this place!

We called in here for a couple of drinks late afternoon, we were about the only people in there. So it was a bit quiet for us, we noticed that it was the same at night, so headed elsewhere.

Closed at 940pm for drinks very soon for a pub very rude staff won't be back local pubs say that can't stay open with out customers but closed when people need a drink don't complain if you loose money

My family and I went here today after attending a trade show at the conference centre. The food was fantastic and portion sizes were very generous! I would definitely go there again.

Very friendly pub, bar staff extremely courteous and customer focussed and great selection of beers and ales.

The Montpellier Pub is a ‘must visit’ for us whenever we are in Harrogate. Lovely surroundings, always a warm welcome, great ales and fab food. The roast dinners are the best we’ve had anywhere.

Lovely looking pub but I think we chose the wrong course. The goats cheese was overwhelming. Just too rich, too much, and not very pleasant.

Stopped here for lunch. Sat outside in the sunshine ( only 3 tables so we were lucky) service was excellant, food was nice and very central in Harrogate, just down the road from Betty’s. Prices were good and would call here again.

They do amazing food all home made and have great quality drinks. the Sunday roast is huge. so many people say about the price I don't see what they are on about. You get huge portions for a good price. If you want cheap and tacky try the local spoons. Be prepared for not having WiFi access but that's a small price to pay for quality food and a great environment.

Our first stop in Harrogate. We’d walked for an hour in the sun and were gasping for refreshment so seeing a couple of spare seats outside decided to plot up.

Dined here twice on 16th & 17th June and on both visits the food was excellent.

Visited today, the food was ample. I ordered fish and chips and my partner ordered roast beef and gravey sandwich. The food was cooked to perfection and staff came out because we were sat outside in the lovely sunshine to ask if everything/meals were ok. We are definitely coming back, looking forward to having a Yorkshire Platter next time or a Sunday dinner. Thank you.

Visited for Sunday lunch and we were so glad we did! The portions were enormous and I have never had so much meat on a roast dinner. The vegetables were all fresh and cooked well, and extra gravy came as standard. The best bit was getting two Yorkshire puddings! Would definitely recommend.

I was appauled by the way myself and 8 friends were treated today in this establishment. I have never experienced such an arrogant, rude and obnoxious man in my life. We only asked if we could use the table beside where we were seated to be told ( " do what you like!") In a most appauling time! When we asked if he was sure it was ok his tone and attitude only got more aggressive. We decided to leave having not even got round to looking at a menu. ( how fortunate for a business to be able to afford the loss of takings for 9 lunches with drinks !) This man have serious issues with people skills and perhaps should not be front of house and more suited to the pot wash station. Harrogate is so beautiful and places like this just just spoil the town. If this person is the owner leave it to the staff , if you are a member of staff you should be given your p45!! Complete and utter disgrace

Very friendly staff and landlord; made us feel welcome for a lunchtime drink; went back in the evening and enjoyed every minute; and were welcomed back, I would recommend this pub and can't understand the negative reviews posted , as this wasn't my experience.

Three of us in our party arrived at this pub and within two minutes we had ordered food and drinks. Approx 30 minutes later our food hadn't arrived so my friend went to the bar to politely enquire as to how long the food would be. What followed makes me wonder how on earth this pub survives.

What a miserable stuck up pub. We only went in as the woman in the window gave us a dirty look, like she was better than us.
