Restaurant at The Harewood Arms Hotel in Leeds

The pub itself is fine. It has a no swearing and no mobile phones policy - fine. The food however - omg it was the worse I’ve had anywhere! Small portions which was actually a blessing as it was so bad. Hunters chicken which is usually a chicken breast smothered in bacon cheese and sauce was little processed meat cubes in a dish mixed with breadcrumbs and flashed under a grill however it was still like sawdust. Side salad on another meal was old wet leaves out of a salad bag that must have been out of date and going mushy. Another customer said hunters chicken was revolting but when we tried to change the order it was refused. Steak pies came out black on top which had been disguised by laying chips over it! When we asked for a dessert menu we were told they had stopped serving food even though we were in the middle of a meal. They did agree we could have dessert in the end and it then took 40 mins to arrive. The service was so bad it took us three hours to eat our meal! Never again!!

The Harewood Arms is 20 minutes on the bus from where I live. Its calmly traditional welcoming bar area suits me and I've no problem whatsoever with the ban on digital devices or the in-house spirits and limited range of wines, because they're fine for a non-beer & ale drinker like me. The food covers all tastes including those of my vegan partner and vegetarian daughters, who'd have at least 3 options each. The dishes are traditional with an occasional innovative touch, and for between £7-12 you can have lunch ranging from generous light-bite to hearty. The staff have always been friendly and food is served promptly even when they're busy. Harewood itself is nice for a stroll around and there are bus stops to Leeds and Harrogate (& Ripon) right outside the pub. It used to be closed on Mondays but now seems to be open 7 lunchtimes a week.

Have just tried to get a table in a seemingly quiet restaurant, my family ( partner and 4 year old daughter), stood at the bar basically being ignored! Staff came round the bar and didn’t say hello or even acknowledge our presence by looking in our direction! So so rude and will not be returning…..

Oh deary me . Been for a dog walk with a friend called here for warm drink and get out the cold . Sorry no dogs allowed . Put dog in car . Coffee machine not working but I can make u instant one from kettle .. we ordered . No standing at bar was 2 big notices , no swearing was another big sign and no mobile or lap lops allowed was several other signed around the room .. it were like going back in the 60s .we felt we were transported back 60 years . What a crying shame as pub was beautifully clean and real fire glowing and toilets were outstanding … I won’t be rushing back

Third visit in 4 months, our special place! Had a fab time once again. Such lovely homely people! The coal fires were roaring. Taddy was great. Had vegan burger and chips( I'm not vegan) it was flavoursome.My partner had lasagne yesterday, then had a mini roast turkey dinner both tasty. Breakfast was lovely, plenty to eat and drink, nothing too much bother! Bed was particularly comfortable! Thank you to Amanda and team, James, Angela and Louise, wishing you all a fab Christmas & New Year, C u in 2024, lot's of love Wendy & Trini xx

This hotel was in a great location for us and we thought it very good value. We ate in the restaurant at night and was not disappointed, can recommend the pies. Our bedroom was large, comfortable and clean with a powerful shower

A really friendly standard of service with all local staff. Good home cooked food, bar full of locals and amazingly a ban on phones. Well done Harewood Arms. Very helpful lady who demonstrated the nearness of several Red Kites

After a long trek around Harewood House we were very much looking forward to a nice late lunch at the Harewood Arms Pub, and delighted to see picnic tables out back. So disappointed when we went in to learn that only cash payments are accepted -- and no nearby bank machines! (not that we were up to walking any further). I realize it is a historic pub, but they might as well tell you to bring your own chicken or pig for cooking. Took a bus back to Leeds and spent our new-fangled 21st century plastic money there.

Not very welcoming when you can't use a credit card Cash Only !! and no use of mobile phones in the bar area Food average

We had pre booked our Xmas meal for 15 of us. The bar and restaurant is all in one and with lots of notices up about no use of mobile phones, lap tops or swearing! They also don’t take credit cards! Some of us had Camembert which didn’t have cheese in them! on just a bad of lettuce! Than came the mains those that had turkey had the best dinner. Whereas the Salmon was over cooked and dry! They Chicken, ham and leek pie was served when everyone had finished there main course! There was 2 choices for pudding Christmas pudding which was small but people did enjoy it! Or chocolate ice cream. They had one waiter who had to deal with all the serving and problems! Than someone in the walking group said they came here last year and it wasn’t much better! This place really needs to up its game in the food and beverage experience! I’m surprised it’s manages to make a living!

Eight of us enjoyed a great pre-booked Christmas meal at The Harewood Arms yesterday evening. We all chose turkey, which was succulent, seasonal vegetables and potatoes, which were all nicely cooked, alongside the usual accompaniments. Portion size was good, enough for even our heartiest eater! The staff were very helpful and attentive to detail. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made a good team. At slightly under £20 for three courses we felt that it was good value for money. The pub was busy, a wedding party I believe as well as some locals, and there was a lovely atmosphere. Thank you to Amanda and her team.

Sam Smiths brewery are slowly killing the Harewood Arms, it’s a real shame. Harewood village is beautiful and deserves a better pub than one that is owned by clowns. We visited for Sunday lunch last weekend, to start with the menus are dirty and greasy and offer a very poor choice - only 3 or 4 items to choose from and a take it or leave it attitude from the ‘chef’. They only take cash which must be a new policy but maybe not so new because the landlady kept a perfectly straight face when she told me the nearest cash point was 5 miles away. There’s also a zero tolerance policy on mobile phones but bizarrely its the staff who face instant dismissal if they fail to enforce the rule. No wonder there were only 3 or 4 sets of customers. The 10 mile round trip to a cash point wasn’t justified by the food on offer so we walked across the road to Muddy Boots where were had lovely food and a wider range of payment options.

Delicious, piping hot fish and chips, washed down with Sam Smiths best bitter. Good coffee. All served promptly in a friendly manner. Sadly, no tab allowed. What a pity that the owner or management of the brewery feel they want to fill the venue with paternalistic, freedom limiting notices. What century are we in? ‘Cash only’, ‘No swearing’, ‘No mobiles, p.c’s or tablets’. (‘ Please switch off your mobile phone’ would be acceptable) This attitude is so unwelcoming unlike that of their staff.

Vivimos 1. 5 millas de este encantador país Pub and Hotel. Entonces llamamos al menos dos veces por semana para tomar una bebida y comida. Las cervezas son elaboradas localmente por Sam Smiths Brewery en Tadcaster. La cerveza y los Largers son excelentes y tienen una buena relación calidad-precio (cerveza pura orgánica, más grande 5% abv super, y solo 3. 00 por pinta) Sin embargo, las opciones de vino son malas. El bar tiene un menú de comida típica de pub - (Fish & Chips 7. 00) El pescado es de un tamaño decente de excelente calidad porque está muy congelado en el mar. (Lasaña y pan de ajo 6. 50) es rico y sabroso con tomate fresco en el interior. La comida es siempre de una calidad constante, siempre fresca y caliente. El domingo el asado es magnífico a las 8. 99.Es un pequeño equipo de personal que trabaja allí, encabezado por Amanda y Luke. Todos son, en general, muy positivos, útiles y muy eficientes. Sin embargo, la aplicación de la política de brewerys de no teléfonos móviles, computadoras y tabletas es impuesta por ciertos empleados. ¡Nos gusta el hecho de que pueda sentarse y conversar con otros clientes sin que todos sean esclavos de la pantalla! Te acostumbras al hecho de que no hay música, sino chat.El local está muy bien amueblado de forma tradicional, impecablemente limpio. Algunos inconvenientes son que los pagos con tarjeta solo se aceptan a más de 20. 00 (sí en este día y edad) y que no tienen un espacio interior para perros. Me encanta en invierno con sus dos fuegos de carbón / leña abiertos. Buen tamaño fuera de la zona alrededor del Pub / Hotel. Sin embargo, los asientos, particularmente en la parte delantera, son pobres y están mal mantenidos.Con excelentes bebidas, buena relación calidad-precio y un servicio amable, no te puedes equivocar aquí.

We called in here without booking and were able to get a table. It’s a slightly old fashioned traditional hotel bar and restaurant. We ordered the Sunday roast from the bar. The meal comes fully plated with a jug of gravy. It might not be the fanciest food you’ll eat but it’s plentiful and tasty as well as being great value for money. There’s some decent beer behind the bar and refreshingly it’s pub not hotel prices. There’s plenty of parking behind the main building in the courtyard where most of the rooms to stay in are located.

the food was amazing the bar man was great and friendly .. but minimum spend on card is £20 that not right to high and the no sign to say it open and it on a busy main road pub nice and clean and old hand pulled beers

..we stayed for two nights and enjoyed an evening meal on first night..we were at a Wharfedale Grange Wedding so no other meal needed or we'd have dined again...Excellent service & friendly staff..Thanks

There can be little better than a pleasant pub with reasonable prices attached to surprisingly good food, and this place lives up to all of that. Son, a pescatarian who eats lots of scampi, was particularly impressed with that dish and it's presentation. A further surprise was a nearby customer,asking for wi-fi password, being told that phones were banned - until I remembered that Sam Smith's has initiated a new rule aimed at encouraging conversation. A bit mistimed in this age, methinks, but none of us were challenged when using mobiles and the wi-fi was on. I think this rule will disappear soon but hope the Harewood doesn't go with it!

We was here in September 2018 as my sister in-law has moved to the area, we all had a lunch here in fact my partner had two as he loved the liver and onions after he had tasted mine. We all had a dessert after and this was just as good, the alcohol they serve here is good and we will be back again when visiting my sister in-law,everything is reasonably priced,the lady behind the bar was very friendly and polite.

Poor already commented on this facility which should be so much better. Chilled white wine, drained salads, clean tables and some in need of repair. You could do without the plastic flowers which some unruly children used as toys.

Los tiempos han cambiado, y muchos de los bares y restaurantes realmente agradables a los que solíamos ir se han quedado en el camino. Y el Harewood Arms no es una excepción. Como una vieja bruja ajena al hecho de que sus días de juventud y belleza han desaparecido, permanece abierta, mientras que puede. Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo de hoy. No muy ocupado La comida era sosa y apetecible. Sólo una dosis liberal de salsa de rábano picante le dio sabor. El Yorkshire Pudding era una bola jodida de G - d sabe qué. Mucho en el plato; solo una carga de diferentes artículos tirados en un plato pequeño sin ningún intento de presentación. Una señora asistente detrás del bar; tomando pedidos; entregando la comida; lavando las mesas, todo. Un tipo elegante que era el gerente o simplemente estaba allí para mostrar, no estoy seguro. ¡Y la regla de que tienes que pagar en efectivo si la factura es menos de veinte libras! ! ¿Quién lleva efectivo con ellos en 2018? No creo que a la gerencia le importe.

Este pub de Sam Smith se encuentra en Harrogate Road en Harewood, cerca de paradas de autobús y con un buen aparcamiento. Es un pub grande, tranquilo, aunque bastante carente de ambiente. El servicio es bueno, y sirven una buena variedad de cervezas de Sam Smith a precios muy razonables (los bitters de barril solo están disponibles en barril). No puedo recomendar el vino Los espíritus son la propia selección peculiar de Sam Smith. El pub y el restaurante están limpios, con buenos baños. Sin embargo, si el pub realmente siente la necesidad de un gran '¡Los retretes son solo para uso de los clientes! 'señal, podría estar mejor ubicado en la puerta de los baños, en lugar de en la puerta del pub, donde, junto con el gran cartel de botas embarradas, da una primera impresión poco acogedora y bastante desagradable. Lo que realmente me gusta de Harewood Arms es su ubicación rural, y sus áreas de asientos al aire libre, que incluyen un jardín de cerveza adecuado, que es muy adecuado para los niños, y un lugar encantador para sentarse en las noches de verano. La comida está bien, y tiene un precio razonable, con todas las dietas atendidas. Tuve una hamburguesa vegetariana, con patatas fritas y aros de cebolla en mi última visita, mientras que mi compañero tenía la hamburguesa estándar. Muy agradable, e incluso con bebidas, creo que llegó a menos de 20. Siempre llevo dinero en efectivo, pero el gasto mínimo de 20 para el uso de la tarjeta seguramente atrapará a algunas personas y posiblemente tendrá que ofrecer lavar los platos.

Fuimos a almorzar el sábado, compramos bebidas con dinero en efectivo y luego nos sentamos a mirar el menú. Elija de la tabla especial que era pastel y guisantes con salsa de menta y salsa. Fui a pedir y pagar en el bar con mi tarjeta de débito y me dijeron que solo podía usar mi tarjeta si el total llegaba a 20 o más. ! ! ! !

La decoración de la barra se inspira en la cercana Harewood House y las numerosas fotografías que adornan sus paredes revelan un estrecho vínculo con esta majestuosa casa. Sus incendios abiertos están bien gestionados y son acogedores, y han sido una atracción particular en este pasado, con suerte, en invierno. El menú es modesto pero lo suficientemente amplio como para satisfacer la mayoría de los gustos. La comida en sí está preparada rápidamente y el servicio siempre es amable y eficiente. Anticipar la llegada de grupos de caminantes o ciclistas es difícil, pero en general la comida está disponible de manera rápida y eficiente. El servicio, sin embargo, siempre es amigable y eficiente. Con todo, Harewood Arms es un lugar para recomendar para el almuerzo o la cena, ya que Value for Money es su atributo clave.

Fuimos a almorzar con un amigo. Edades en cola en el bar. Finalmente, se ordenó. Cuando pregunté sobre la elección de sopa y me dijeron que era pollo con hongos. . . . . Paré el arte de la camarera en ese punto y pedí sopa de champiñones con pan y mantequilla. También pedí un rollo de salchicha. Mi amigo pidió espaguetis a la boloñesa. Más bebidas Esperamos una hora para que llegara la comida y cuando llegó la comida de la siguiente mesa y la nuestra todavía no. Fui a preguntar por qué, ya que habían ordenado unos buenos quince minutos DESPUÉS de nosotros. Nos dijeron que el nuestro estaba en camino. Finalmente llegó la sopa era pimiento rojo y tomate! Y el rollo de salchichas estaba tan sobrecalentado que no era comestible. Dije cortésmente a la camarera que había pedido champiñones y me dijeron que no podía haber hecho porque no estaba en el menú. Intenta decirle al personal del bar eso! Envié el rollo de salchicha. Eventualmente, la mesera regresó y dijo que el chef me prepararía una sopa de champiñones. No hace falta decir que ojalá no se haya molestado en pensar que el agua del plato puede haber sido mejor. Sin disculpas Dinero tomado con orden o se habría ido. Sin oferta de reembolso Cuando salimos, el personal dijo que todo estaba bien. ¡No dije que no volveremos a lo que la respuesta fue buena! ! ! No es una de nuestras mejores experiencias en restaurantes

Good range of pub food all cooked fresh for evening meal and good range of food for a fully cooked breakfast in the morning.

Llamado aquí para tomar una copa, ya que se veía bien desde el exterior, lo único positivo sobre el lugar. Pidieron un vaso de Chardonnay y nos dijeron que solo vendemos nuestro propio vino, chenin blanc, pedimos un coque de dieta y nos dijeron que solo hacemos nuestra propia coca, así que probamos los dos y los dos fueron horribles. Este lugar está en el exterior de la finca Harewood y debería ser maravilloso y querer que regreses, no solo dándote las bebidas más baratas. La gente que comía no parecía feliz, pero no puedo comentar sobre la comida, ya que no probamos ninguno. Volveremos, NO.

Live locally and haven’t visited here for a long time, having been put off by many changes of staff and poor meals the last couple of visits. However felt enough time had passed to give it another try... surely it still can’t be as bad? Things must have improved......so called in for a snack lunch. Ordered two tuna sandwiches in white rolls and two teas. Service was poor - one person serving, stood ages at the bar before anyone came to take the order. Waited ages again then, eventually, someone appeared with cutlery/napkins and the sauces, condiments etc. Then mugs of tea arrived, followed a while later by the sandwiches. What took so long to make two sandwiches? There was hardly anyone else in the place. Having received our cutlery/condiments etc we were expecting a well presented sandwich i.e. salad garnish... maybe a few crisps? Nothing of the kind. Just a white roll filled with a bit of tuna mayo (more mayo than tuna) and cucumber looking very sad and unappetising, all on it’s own on a small plate. The roll was so hard to eat, as being slightly warm made it rubbery, it stretched like strong elastic before breaking off, then came the long chew to get rid of the rubber ball of dough. The fact the rolls were slightly warm made us wonder if they had been stored frozen and defrosted in the microwave in order to make our sandwiches. Very disappointed, things don’t seem to have changed - they can’t even get a sandwich right so won’t be going back again!

Visited tonight, looking forward to tucking into a lovely meal and was hugely disappointed. Ordered Gammon and veg. The gammon looked as it it had been cooked and reheated and the veg was cold. Returned food and offered a new meal. Veg obviously just microwaved, gammon looked much better, but half way through, found the meat was raw. Returned meal asking for it to be cooked through. After about 15 mins meal still not returned. Was given a refund for my meal, but hugely disappointed with the poor quality of the meal. Will not return.

Supporting Older People, a local charity booked lunch for 16 at the Harewood Arms. We had our own room which made the occasion very pleasant. The staff were excellent - we had pre-ordered and the service was efficient and professional. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meals. The small portions were ideal. Delicious puds and coffees rounded off the meal. Everyone praised the staff, food and surroundings - we will be back.

We booked Sunday Lunch for our NCT group's annual Christmas Meal get together.

The Hotel has a good varied mane and there are daily specials. They also have a good choice of beers. Service is good, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Menu choice on a Sunday is limited to a Sunday roast but don't let that stop you calling in. Choice of meats accompanied by traditional Yorkshire pudding roast and mashed potatoes and veg. Good portion size. Old fashioned setting including leather chairs around a burning log fire. We will call again

Well, we all had clean plates when we had finished which is always a positive sign. I think the only reason you might not have a clean plate is because the portions are so generous. The food was very good.

Large car park at the rear, entrance is wheel chair friendly. First impression of the dinning area had a bit of a wow factor, log fires burning, our order taken (a small charge is payable if you pay by card) a good range of wines and beers, our meal was served piping hot, cooked and presented well, the meal it self was very reasonable on price. High chair available, every were was very clean.

Our party of 10 went midweek lunch time with a prebooked table. We arrived a bit early but were seated promptly as it was not busy. Drinks were brought quickly but after ordering food we had to wait over half an hour before it was served. The food was good, very hot and served in baskets or trays which were a bit deep with a paper liner and I would have been happier with a plate but I suppose it saved on washing up. I was happy with the quantity of food, it was very hot and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Sat outside front to sit in the sunshine and watch the VWs pull up for the festival. There is a larger outdoor area with picnic tables around the back. Good Sam Smith range, all own-branded - I tried a bottle of oatmeal stout. Done up OK inside. Good enough that I'd visit again and try the food

A un precio razonable, un poco miffed que me sirvieron una lasaña congelada una noche, pero el director se disculpó. Las tartas son preciosas.

Ok another date in another pub bla bla bla first impression was yes quite a quaintly situated country pub opposite the Harewood estate' the sun was shining so opted to sit outside around the back as it was a bit of a sun trap' ok this is where it's a disappointment all the kitchen extraction is exactly where you you don't want it to be ie blowing at full tilt into your customers honker! Not a good start deep fat fryer oil needed a change! That and the dank smell of the wet fag ash! 'Pet hate please empty your ashtrays at the start of service It Just isn't pleasant! So let's get to the food! Not the best would be a kind descriptive! tasteless wet veg without to much effort drain water its basic cookery folks come on! The liver and onions was fine and plentiful mash also very good but all ruined by a lack of application' and the drowning so in a nutshell it's not expensive but nor would I pay anymore for what I ate' drinks also reasonable prices so not all bad' attention to detail!! then this eatery becomes a good one! Hope this helps

A fab original type country pub - roaring fire on a cold day was welcomed xx - Staff and the landlord especially great fun and made you feel so welcomed - Food good and Beer brilliant what a selection we even tried the Cherry Beer and a Raspberry one !! has garden to side and a little terrace at front and rooms for staying - liked most of all original setting and no TV!!! had a great giggle Thanks again

Took my grandchildren for tea at harewood arms very friendly staff lovely and cosy with fires burning and the food was delicious, will definitively be going back there.

We booked for Sunday lunch the day before. Being able to get a table should have been a warning sign. We booked for 12:00 and got there at about 5 to. The place was empty. Eventually someone turned up behind the bar and took us to a table. Then I had to get up and find a menu. Got drinks and ordered food at the bar. After about 20 minutes the starters came (simple prawn cocktail). The place was filling up, 4 other people had arrived. Main course arrived. We had ordered the roast beef. The portions were small, for which it turned out I was gratefull. The beef was very tough and very over done. We decided against desserts and coffee. Whilst there was a fire going in one for the rooms the place wasn't overly warm and had no atmosphere at all. A few Christmas carols playing in the backround would have broken the funereal hush. It all felt as though it was up to you, the customer, to know what to do, where the menus were, where to order food etc, nothing from the two visible staff at all. The chairs need re stuffing, you sank in the middle and the bar at the fornt of the seat digs into your thighs. We grabbed a couple fo cushions to help (we were on table 6)

You would expect a place like this to serve quality food. It wasn't quality. It arrived half cold, tasteless and unappetising. Waited a good while for the food to arrive, part of the order was missing too. A real disappointment, would not go back.

Met up with friends staying here for an evening meal. There was a dozen of us booked in for eight o'clock. We arrived early and the meal was ordered by eight (and paid for in advance !) It was a simple menu-just pies, scampi and fishcakes etc, no steaks or anything complicated! The food arrived SIXTY MINUTES LATER.I foolishly ordered a chicken ham and leek pie. It turned out to be a tasteless cardboard-like container enclosing some white mush posing as chicken, a small pink square of ham and one slice of leek which did actually taste of leek. The chips were floppy, tasteless and made from powdered potato, the carrots uncooked and accompanied by a sorry piece of cabbage. In short the meal was inedible and one of the worst I have ever had. How could any short order cook get something so wrong and take so long to do it!! By the way, I had 'the trots' for days afterwards. Pat Cooper,

Called for Sunday lunch. There was no food option other than roast beef or roast pork. No vegetarian option was mentioned. Food okay but nothing to writ home about. Service okay. Price reasonable at £7.95. Probably won't go again.

Live locally and eat here every few months. Also call in for lunch if we're walking at Harewood. The last few times we've visited it seems to have 'changed hands' every time. Each set of staff we've encountered have all been pleasant enough. We returned from a holiday last week and took Mum for Sunday lunch. We were greeted by yet another new set of staff. We were told they no longer do Sunday lunches (what pub doesn't do a Sunday roast?) and as there were no specials up on the board (unusual) we had to choose from the menu. I chose steak and kidney pudding, only to be told 20 minutes later that they didn't have any. I chose liver and onions, we we all had. It was ok (when it arrived - service was slow) and the beer was still cheap as always. The furniture had been changed around and as we were the only diners for a while (others came in a bit later) the whole place felt flat, drab and uninviting. A shame as it's in a prime position - would think it would get - passing trade as well as guests staying in the hotel. Might not be rushing back.

A lovely old Yorkshire stone building which could be a real attraction . It is well-situated at the end of several walking routes in Harewood park and vicinity .The menu is good unsophisticated pub food and the prices are very reasonable . Unfortunately my recent experience of eating here was not too impressive : both the scampi and the chips were somewhat over-done ! I think my husband was happy with his steak pie however . Having been very impressed with another Sam Smith pub , The Buckles on the A61 , I felt this establishment could learn a lot from them !

This is a gorgeous traditional pub/hotel opposite Harewood house.Myself and my husband visited this establishment after a long walk In the cold! It was lovely, cosy and very welcoming.We just had a cup of tea and some lunch. The menu prices are fair and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was great to see service with a smile. What a lovely place this is , we will be returning (especially to try the Sunday lunch).Thank you to all the Harewood staff for your kind hospitality.

I visit this pub regularly and have also eaten here a few times. I generally sit outside if I can, to avoid the stuffy interior, and to be able to watch red kites soaring in the sky overhead. In the summer, it can be a really lovely spot. It's a Sam Smiths pub, so the beer is inexpensive, and the food I've had has been reasonable. The rather aggressive sign recently placed in the hallway with regard to walkers' potentially muddy boots could perhaps be better worded I think, as it gives a poor welcome at the front entrance, whether you're out walking or not.

Called in yesterday for meal and drink. When asked how long we would be waiting I was told twenty minutes. At thirty minutes I asked again and was told by a very abrupt barmaid she would as km in the kitchen and get back to me. She didn't, instead she chose to complain to one of the regular customers about how busy she had been the night before. After forty minutes from ordering, the food eventually arrived. It was eaten as we were hungry and had paid for it already. It wasn't anything to write home about. BE AWARE that there is also an admin fee of 1.5% for using a debit or credit card. This was explained to me at the point of ordering but appeared to be inconsistent when observing others paying for their meals. Not sure why this was. Won't be going again.

The bar serves very good food at sensible prices and the drinks are cheaper than in most pubs and bars in the area. There is also a gated beer garden making it safe for kids.

We were staying in the hotel, so dined in the pub for convenience..Lovely friendly & helpful staff.Menu choice isn't vast, but a nice selection.The food we ordered on Saturday evening was plentiful, hot, & tasty.However I returned on Sunday at 4.30pm for an early dinner, to be told they stopped serving food at 4pm on Sunday's, not ideal, but after asking, was graciously given directions to another lovely Sunday Carvery location a couple of miles away.I'd dine here again

Went for a bar meal with a friend, it was quite busy when we got there and got much busier, didn't seem to affect the service at all, food we ordered was delivered very quickly. Wide range of dishes on the menu I had the Gammon, nice piece, cooked just right, my friend went for the Scampi, she said that was good too. Staff were very efficient and very pleasant, can't say the same for the weather but as we had gone by bus, didn't really matter stop from Leeds is across the road, stop to Leeds is 30 Yrds from front door, couldn't be better.

Had just visited Harewood House fancied lunch so popped in never been in before but what a lovely place nice atmosphere lovely food and very reasonably priced well worth a visit again in the near future

I met some old friends at this pub for lunch and was surprised at the generally wider range of meals offered, including one offering a mix of mushrooms, cranberries and cheese in a filo wrap. "Delicious," according to one of my friends, who chose to have chips rather than the mashed potatoes offered. My liver and onions with mashed potatoes was also delicious, and the accompanying vegetables were cooked well, not over cooked as so often found in British pubs. We averaged 10PS a head, including a drink and coffee or tea. Good value, in my opinion.

Having travelled from Hampshire to visit my daughters, they decided that it would be nice to have Sunday lunch out. They took us to this pub, and we sat in the garden and had a drink, then inquired regarding a Sunday roast. There was five in our party, and we were told that roast's were served up to 3 15. We ordered more drinks and then went inside to sort out our food. We ordered five roast beef dinners, and asked if we could have extra Yorkshire pudding. The reply was maybe, and we would be charged extra, which we agreed to.There was 3 other couples in total, in the dining room, who were either finished or very nearly at the end of their meals. At the bar we were told there would be a wait due to a party of 7 who were about to have their dinner, in another part of the dining area, so we sat outside again and were told that we would be called when our food was ready. So far, so good, after 45 mins we were called in to find 3 of our dinners were on the table, no cutlery, and no condiments. The next two dinners arrived and we asked for cutlery and salt, pepper and horseradish. The waiter went off again, then brought back 3 sets of cutlery. Again we asked for condiments and another two sets of cutlery, again he wandered off as if he had all the time in the world, while our dinner was going cold. Back he came, but with no horseradish, by which time we found the pepper empty. Asked for pepper PLUS the elusive horseradish. Then noticed one of our party was a Yorkshire pud down, again asked for the extra Yorkie. Again, we had "see what I can do" Tucked into, by now, a Luke warm dinner, which consisted of frozen roast potatoes, two slices of beef, five slices of carrots and approx tablespoon of watery cabbage. As my Son-in- law put a fork full of dinner in his mouth, we noticed the hair amongst the cabbage and carrot that also went into his mouth. By now, I'm pretty mad, considering I have been cooking professionally for 40 years, I could not understand why we were having so much trouble in a dining room consisting of 6 people. To top it off, the extra Yorkie had still not arrived. The general consensus was to get the hell out of the place. I went to pay the bill, and voiced all my concerns to the chap behind the bar, who had the cheek to still charge us the full price, with a very reluctant "sorry about that". And to cap it all, another member of staff arrived with one Yorkshire pudding on a plate, at the bar,which we kindly told her what to do with it, plus they were bloody frozen Yorkies. How long does it take to do a 4 minute Yorkshire?If you want to go somewhere that has a very good resemblance to Fawlty Towers, this is the place for you. If on the other hand, you really want a good, tasty proper Sunday roast, stay well away.

We nipped in for a quick drink and there was a friendly atmosphere with lovely staff, we would definitely go again!

Our second recent visit with friends for lunch and we were not disappointed.All enjoyed the food at very reasonable prices and of course, the unbelievably cheap beer from Sam Smith's brewery!Atmosphere was excellent, made more so by the genuinely friendly welcome from mine hosts.

Dropped in for a pint, greeted by the 'new' licensee.Old Brewery Bitter was a rather active, well worth the wait and the top up.The refurbed Gents was most pleasing.I wish it was a little closer to home as it would certainly be 'my regular pub.'

This is not a gastro-pub (there are plenty in the area already) - but they serve a basic menu for a reasonable price. Our table of 7 was served in a fair time scale given the pub was full (the friendly staff apologised for the delay, but we did not notice it). Mixture of main courses were all fine. Beer was well kept and served. Décor is all fine, some areas having been recently refurbished. This is a Sam Smiths pub and they've been doing it their own way for 250 years so there will be some peculiarities - but we did not miss the gaming machines / TV's etc which are so common in many places now.Did not notice a kids menu - not a problem given the menu, but seemed odd as a third of the customers were families with children.

Seriously - how do you manage to sell a Yorkshire pudding that resembles the consistency of a burnt cream cracker? Apparently issue with refurbishment, kitchen ovens not working properly which would explain the 1 hour++ wait for our food on a Sunday lunchtime with only two other tables eating in the restaurant??? Sorry guys - an absolute disaster. Shameful! Cheap - but shameful!

Only had breakfast but it was very good, also got to pick the time we wanted it so didn't have to wait too long.

Let's start by saying a group of us have been drinking here for the best part of 15 years.This pub was a jewel in Yorkshire's crown now it's a thorn in our beautiful county.The decor is second to none the location is perfect near to leeds and harrogate as we'll as being directly opposite Harewood house but this is were the compliments stop never have I experienced such ill mannered management in any licensed premises basically Samuel Smith is funding a private bar for Andrea she is constantly inebriated and they both (landlord and lady) have a collection of individuals who visit on evening and clog up the second room and shout and generally just being very unsociable if you dare to try and order while there having there good time then you will be scowled at and ignored and generally just dismissed as a nuisance, the bar staff used to be attentive polite courteous but the bad service is infectious as the waiting staff have taken the attitude of the customer is a nuisance rather than king. The hygiene standards have truly dropped starting with glasses smeared and dirty the tables are stained by the bottom of the glass something that could be wiped off with a little elbow grease. The food is not what it used to be but I'm not sure if the chef has changed or if the lazy no need to care attitude has rubbed off on him as we'll ! To sum this situation up is they are not cut out for village life you must respect your regulars and value there custom not take for granted. I have emailed Samuel Smith group regarding this poor management appointment.

Been having a week-end afternoon drink here for over 20 years with no problems. Today we called in as usual and I ordered my usual G & T only to be served with a single measure of gin in a half pint glass, topped up to the brim with tonic! Asked for it to be replaced with the usual gin in glass and a small bottle of tonic on the side in order to mix to my taste only to be told that bottles were no longer to be passed over the bar!!! The barman would not relent....rules is rules. Time to find somewhere else methinks.

Reading other reviews,we think there must be two hotels of the same name at the same location, because we found Andrea and Gordon really attentive, and the food, beer and service excellent, and find it hard to recognise Harewood Arms from the negative reviews.We enjoyed our stay so much, that we went for our second stay last week, and have rebooked for another break.The location is perfect, bus every 15 minutes to Leeds, Harrogate or Ripon, outside the hotel door, beautiful walks on the doorstep,Harewood House across the road.

We visited Harewood House today which is just across the road from this pub.After a very enjoyable and lengthy walk around the grounds with our dog,we stopped off for a well deserved pint.Being a Samuel Smith establishment,all the drinks are in house brands.We tried the Taddy lager which was only £2 a pint,unheard of in this day and age.Two pints and two packets of crisps came to just over £5,what a bargain.We got the 36 bus from Leeds,which is £4.40 for a return ticket,takes probably 30 mins if that.They do a Sunday roast or sandwiches,I think it was £7 95 for Beef.We didn't try the food this time,but probably would in future.

I've only ever written good reviews on trip advisor but am still fuming from my lunch time run in with the supposed manager of this place. It seems quite a pleasant pub and the bar man was friendly. We ordered our food and one dish came out then 15 minutes later the next 2 came out then 25 minutes later the next 2 came out- when I complained about the wait the barman apologised and said it was his fault for putting them through separately but there was nothing he could do. I asked if the manager was in and he said no. I thought oh well and went back to the table - my mum then said that her pie had a cold filling so I went back. This time the barman seemed to locate the manager who came out and seemed really cross with me straight away for wasting his time. No apology - almost made me feel like it was my fault because we paid for one of the dishes separately. He looked over at the table and said the dishes we're being eaten so would not entertain any discount or even an apology to my mum- but my mum had left the entire filling- except the first mouthful and just eaten her veg and chips as we needed to go. I just felt that it was really poor customer service and at the very least he could have had the good grace to apologise instead of saying in quite an accusing way 'well what do you want me to do about it?' I am really not somebody who feels comfortable complaining but I would hope that they sort their customer service out in the future. Fair enough the barman made a mistake when he put it through and fair enough there is a new chef - but actually I do feel like I was fair enough to complain!!

I walked in the pub expecting a nice quiet drink with my wife,I was shocked when I heard people singing out loud,my wife thought there was a talent show going on,it was only after we went to the bar that we discovered the lady who was singing was actually the landlady,she was very rude to my wife,as she obviously heard my wife's comments to me. I wont ever visit that pub again.When we visited last year,the pub had a nice friendly atmosphere,service was given with a smile and not an awful look. We will not be visiting again. The landlady is drunken rude lady.

We were booked into here cos of the locality to hardwood house where we had spent the day. On entering the establishment we was looking forward to it but ended up looking forward to leaving.gordon was continually harassing my wife and Andrea was slurring her words at the bar and becoming hostile. The beer was fantastic but when the food arrived we found a mouse tail on the plate, absolutely horrific and won't be eating here again and when we complained I thought Andrea was going to attack my wife, what a bad experience which I don't want to repeat, please avoid.

We waited over an hour for half our meals to arrive, we were informed that some of our meals were not available after all, the wrong meal was delivered for one meal, and so it went on. No apology was offered for any of the many and repeated problems with our order, everything was someone else's fault, and the final comment from the bar manager that he hated half term was the icing on the cake. They weren't busy and our hungry children had made us extremely proud with their impeccable behaviour and immeasurable patience. We will not be returning and left before considering dessert, they weren't having any more of our money and we couldn't get out of there quickly enough.

Was going to call in for food and drinks with my wife and her parents but was put off by rude attitude from the bar lady. We had been previously to the pub several months ago after a long walk and really enjoyed it. On that occasion the pub was dog friendly so when I approached the bar on this occasion was very put off by the fact that the bar lady was more interested in gossiping to some women at the bar then receiving custom. I felt like I was interrupting them and as a potential customer this was a real bad first impression. I was told dogs wasn't allowed in and before even thinking of purchasing a drink or looking at food the bar women turned her back on me and continued to chat to the other female. Yet from other reviews it seems dogs are welcome. So looks like because I interrupted their chat she wasn't that interested in any business! I say save your money and go else where

A very clean and friendly place to go for a drink. I had bangers and mash for lunch with freshly cooked vegetables. Excellent prices for food and drinks. Staff and locals friendly. Would most certainly go there again and recommend others to visit.

We called the hotel before we left our hotel to see if we needed to book a table and was told no but also the kitchen closes at 8.30!!We chose this place as it was recommended by the hotel receptionist. We only wanted an eve meal.When we arrived we stood at the bar for 2 minutes before anyone spoke to us even though there were two people behind the bar and the woman even stood in front of us and looked at us and then just turned away and went back to chatting to the locals! Not even a 'good evening'.There is a sign at the bar saying 'No standing at the bar unless you are ordering' All a bit Fawlty Towers.However the only reason I have given a 3 on the rating was down to the food which was very hot, plentiful and tasty, however the woman that brought it to the table has the charm of a concrete block, she really needs to go back to the charm school or get her money back!

Called into the Harewood arms after a lovely walk round the Harewood estate. The usual entrance is now closed for a fire door so was directed to the hotel reception which was in darkness n the reception desk closed and smelt like a dirty ash tray. This is a shame because I have been in many Samuel smiths establishments. The entrance was not the best of starts but eventually made it to the bar which was a pleasant atmosphere and was greeted with a smile which is always good. I had a pint of the old brewery bitter which I must say was very nice indeed that nice I had two. If I was to go back there again I would use the front door which I found on my departure.

Nice enough place to pop into for a pint of Sovereign or Best Brewery Bitter or pot of tea after a visit to the nearby Harewood House. Best to avoid the coffee.Service is very variable; we've not eaten here recently but it used to be good.

I visited The Harewood Arms for Sunday dinner on 15th September. Firstly, when we walked into the bar/restaurant area I couldn't wait to eat....the decor etc was beautiful and welcoming and a fabulous Sam Smiths example of a bar ....then it went down hill ....the menu looked very impressive, my partner and I ordered a beef and a pork Sunday lunch expecting a good home cooked roast like I would expect from any restaurant however what we got was very bland unseasoned food, the pork was wafer thin and to be honest I thought they'd forgotten to put it on the plate it was that sparse, the beef dinner was the same albeit more beef on the plate but overlooked and tasteless ... the Yorkshire puddings weren't home made they were clearly frozen, the only thing they got right was the dessert but then how hard is it to chop some strawberries and add a little ice cream and sauce ... I would not eat here again and although at £7.95 the price was reasonable ...I'd recommend you save your money

We went here on a lovely Summers day and we ate outside The cheese sandwiches were brill! Lovely soft fresh rolls, stuffed wtith filling, and at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly and obliging. We shall return

The choice on menu is of a normal pub menu, of standard kind of prices, so for so good! When the food eventually arrived (mixed grill and at same time as my starter) the portion size was good but I don't think there is a knife on this earth that could cut through any of the meat, the lamb chop was a pork chop and when that is a long side my pork steak, pork sausage and gammon, it does make you feel the missing lamb is a let down! And finally I left my half chewed pork shoe on my table to get a drink to find the que at the bar was so long when I did return my tea had been taken! (I can only presume by the staff)

Disinterested staff and appalling service made our visit here quite unpleasant. Impossible to persuade the chef to rustle up a sandwich just after 2.00pm. To add insult to injury we were told we could not stand at the bar to drink our beer, because, "the boss says so".The sort of reception which gave the British pub and restaurant industry such a bad reputation for years - still alive and well in Yorkshire. Drive on by!

We were greeted by friendly staff as we went into the bar for lunch. There was a "special of the day" menu but we picked from the regular menu. Of course we had to go to the bar for our drinks and to give our food orders. I ordered the steak and kidney pudding which came with broccoli, carrots , chips and gravy. The pudding was huge and delicious! My husband ordered the Cumberland sausages and mash which he thoroughly enjoyed and my friend ordered the ham salad. And said that it was very good ham. I would certainly recommend this to anyone and would love to go back some day.

After a beautiful walk around the grounds of Harewood House, we called into the Harewood House Hotel, for a much looked forward to light lunch. We made our choice from the sandwich menu only to be told that they had run out of brown baguettes. My wife chose a small caesar salad instead, advertised on the the menu at 5.95 or 3.95, but was told the till wouldn't accept the lower price and that it must be mistake on the menu. After a lot of visits to the kitchen we were offered brown rolls, which we agreed to and opted for tuna mayo. We had a long wait but the rolls finally arrived - containing a mere scraping of tuna mayo. Because of the fuss over the bread and salad, my wife and I decided just to eat the bottom halves of the rolls and get out asap. Such a disappointing experience compared with our beautiful walk in "God's own country".

lovely place. staff friendly and helpful. food excellent value for money and the beer is sam smiths at a price that beer should be. more sam smiths pubs please. rooms compact but tastefully furnished, comfortable and clean. excellent host and hostess. as for those that can't find it sat nav takes you to the door and there is only one pub in the village!!!. recommended.

Four of us (two couples) thought we'd take a taxi from Leeds and have a good meal out here. We ordered bar meals and I had a sense that I'd been charged more at the bar than the prices shown in the menu. I wondered if the barmaid had entered the wrong meals so went back to check. She said that the soup was actually £3.95 instead of the £3 quoted in the menu?!!! This accounted for some of the difference in price but I informed her that that it wasn't correct to have menus on tables showing prices that were different to what was charged when meals were ordered. She was very apologetic and said that prices had increased but that it had only recently happened and that they hadn't had time to change the menu prices?!!! I asked her to inform the manager that I wasn't happy with this and she said that she would do so (after all, it was a near 25% difference in price). My starter arrived ten minutes after everyone else's and the barmaid apologised that she hadn't noted the table number correctly when taking the order?!!!!The same barmaid came to take our mains plates away and I asked if we could order sweets. She apologised and said that it was 8.10pm and that the chef had finished at 8.00pm. She then mentioned another pub in Leeds, some six miles away, that served food until 10pm and informed us that we might get a sweet there?!!!! How bizarre was that?We paid £26 for a round taxi trip to eat at the Harewood Arms and won't be returning.

We visited the Harewood Arms with our friends from Germany after taking them to Harewood House. As we pulled up i noticed that it was 2.40pm and i mentioned that we might not be able to eat as "traditional pubs" normaly stop serving at 2.30 ish. We were greated at the bar by a friendly chat who said "yeh its no problem we can serve you", so we looked at the huge menu and ordered.Now ! i have a pet hate when pubs serve "Largers" in beer glasses but the young bloke came with a labled tall glass with a smile and this just made the drink taste twice as good. Probally. the food arrived quickly but not rushed, our German friends are Vegetarians and they had plenty of choice. i had the cheese burger and it was excellent. not a plastic buger from a bag of four thousand for 10 quid. it was homemade, or butcher made and was lovely. My wife who is the hardest person in the world to get to eat anywhere, had the soup "safe option" she calls it. She commented after i pointed out she could lick the bowl if she wanted i didnt mind that it was wonderful. Pea and Ham was the soup.Timo had a vegiie green curry, Cecily had a cheese sandwich and Step farther had Chilli all were fantastic and reasonably priced. We were very pleased and after driving past the Pub on my way back to Harrogate so many times before, ill stop off for a quick bite and pint next time.Many thanks Harewood Arms and the Guy behind the Bar.

My friends and I have regularly called at The Harewood Arms for a meal and never been disappinted - until today. The bartender was surly to the point of rudeness. Never a smile or a pleasentry. He behaved as though he didn't want to be there and customers were an unacceptable intrusion. The food was OK, not exceptional, and the pub was almost empty - perhaps that's a clue? There was no toilet paper in the ladies' toilet. Very disappointing experience indeed and we will NOT be going back.

We now frequent the harewood arms for the fresh Sunday roast which is fantastic value and excellent food all prepared freshly and all home cooked, the staff are friendly an despite how full the place I we never way long..

Turned up for a bit of lunch with my wife and daughter. My cheese and pickle sandwich, hardly a testing dish, had bread that I could gave exfoliated my feet with, no pickle and a cheese with more sweat on it than a rabid badger in a sock. My wife's salmon had been microwaved to submission and the side vegetables were more of a sidekick. Coupled with an atmosphere straight from a stuffy 1920s flick, this is one place to avoid like the plague. Shame on you Harewood, I thought you had more class than that
