Six Poor Folk in Harrogate

Tasty spot of lunch for a short visit to town, food was well presented and the drinks were nice too Staff were friendly and helpful and id recommend this place for a lovely nibble

Very nice food , good table service , reasonable prices could do with a few more vegetarian options. A very buzzy vibe. Enjoyed it very much

Open till 11.30, so a great bar for that extra pint when you are three sheets and still could squeeze an extra one in before home time. Veltins and pravha on tap too so I was a very happy man. I went for the veltins

Excellent in the courtyard with heaters and blankets on Easter Saturday. Lovely atmosphere- consistently good.

A nice place, friendly staff, good food and drink. The only issue is being upstairs in the gallery room can be noisy. Otherwise a nice lace to visit

Lovely food. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere 👌

Fabulous sharing platter. Super, friendly staff. Faultless.

lovely place to bring the family after an adventure. thanks to Jamie for the top notch hospitality! really friendly and helpful

Me and my friend visited today for lunch, food was delicious, staff were attentive and friendly and very reasonably priced would highly recommend and will definitely visit again!

I'd prefer a better selection of tapas. More bread on the charcuterie. I can't fault the ale selection, it was excellent and the atmosphere was very friendly.

Lovely location and decor. Food is rather average and the service is a bit slow.

Great little cosy pub/bistro in middle of Knaresborough. Excellent selection of premium lagers and pilsners.

Great cosy pub, with excellent food, great beer selection and wonderful staff. One of my favourites of Knaresborough.

Visited this welcoming, centrally placed bistro twice on a recent visit - once for mid afternoon “Tapas” and then for mid morning coffee. Really friendly and attentive staff though the morning coffee service was slow for some (not me) as clearly a relatively new team member being trained up. Lovely furnishings and atmosphere and very fairly priced for the location and quality of fare. My only criticism is that the tapas menu is really geared for two or more people with the serving platters. My olives and my humus were ok and plentiful but the latter was served with warmed bread not pitta and I think “bar snacks” summed them up rather than tapas. Why not have a platter geared for solo visitors? Good choice of wines by the glass and appreciated the choice to have a 125ml version. I’ll definitely return.

Very nice restaurant located in the middle of the town. Great food with good service. Prompt service and value for money

Many tables reserved but got a table for two alright. Small but varied menu with usual pub fare, reasonably priced.

Such a lovely cosy restaurant, great menu , the vegan option of felafels, pea hummus , sunflower seeds, leaves and pitta was delicious, there’s oat milk for coffees too. The staff are brilliant , so friendly and helpful. Booking is a necessity as it’s so popular. I went with my husband and mother in law who both had the chilli and fries from The Specials board (which changes daily) and they loved it . Also took our 3 dogs , it’s very dog friendly and the staff made a fuss of them . I highly recommend going - we’ve been a few times now and will definitely be going back. Thank you 🤩

Been in a few times for beers and drinks. Great selection of house and guest ales and decent cocktails. Though expensive. Bar service was good. Saturday night food was a disaster, tried to order starters and mains and told as kitchen was busy everything would come out at once. This made no sense to us but when we questioned it was reiterated. Because we didn’t want a table full of food and to have our mains go cold whilst eating starters we changed the order to burgers only. They were pretty terrible, as others have said the bread was over toasted to the point of being hard and all 4 of us found the burger was underdone to the point of still being mushy mince. Our waitress was clearly new to the trade so hey ho but I also suspect that whoever was in the kitchen or managing the pass was new/not very good.

Delicious food, amazing service and could sit a group of 6 on a Saturday lunch time without prior booking.

Been here a couple of times and always go for the steak sandwich - this one let me down a little and wasn't as tender as before but still very enjoyable. Nice atmosphere and never too busy from experience.

Fantastic cafe, bar and restaurant! Beer and drinks selection is fantastic, top 3 in Knaresborough for sure as as a pub/bar this is 5/5. As a cafe, fantastic coffee and lunch menu/cakes so 5/5 for that too! As a restaurant it's good although the for me the menu isn't quite as good in the evenings. But it's still one of the best places in Knaresborough and I'd recommend it to anyone. For lunch it's fantastic and probably the best in Knaresborough.

Six Poor Folk, so glad we stumbled across this lovely place! We did not have a reservation but the staff found us a table for two and advised we could eat but was we ok with live music, to which we thought we had struck gold but it was nice of them to ask as it's not for everyone! The staff were all really lovely and attentive, and we ordered from the tapas small plate style food which did not take long to come but was all piping hot and fresh. The Burrata was my favourite and my wife loved the prawn curry. I enjoyed the selection of beer and my wife had a few cocktails. The musician was fantastic, he had a beautiful voice and he sang all songs that we loved from bands we enjoy. It really made the night for us. It was a real shame that there was a very loud man that spoilt it for people, he was shouting over the musician. We would have stayed all night and had more drinks if it was not for him. No fault of the staff at all I might add just a shame for such a great night. Overall we had four drinks, olives and focaccia, the prawn curry, the lamb kofta and burrata and it came to a total of £85 (with a tip) which we felt was very reasonable. We will 100% be back, and will recommend Six Poor Folk to our clients staying in the area, family and friends.

Sat by the fire on a freezing cold day with our 2 dogs and had some good food ! Served by friendly staff will definitely return

Food is fairly good. Above average (burger had lots of flavour, and pea & halloumi sandwich was interesting though a bit lacking in flavour) but not exceptional. Interesting beers are a welcome suprise. Nice atmosphere - busy and had a log fire.

After a lovely walk around Knaresborough we decided to find somewhere for lunch. Having 2 dogs we were somewhat limited, however, we found this place which is very dog friendly. Our meals were exceptional. I had the Crushed Peas on Sourdough & my other half had the Tuscan Chicken Stew. Both were delicious. Very very tasty. Service was good & nice friendly staff. We will definately be back when we visit Knaresborough again.

Warm welcome from the bar staff, great well kept beer, beautiful sharing cheese board and a generally lovely bar. Open fire lit, people talking and everything you'd want from a modern pub. We also had the privilege of meeting the Landlord who gave the perfect introduction. Definitely take time to visit and enjoy the food, drinks and warm welcome. Nice work team

A charming place just off the main square. The staff/proprietors were so friendly and welcoming. I'm not sure whether the place sells itself as a tearoom during the day or a bistro bar in the evenings. We found it a lovely spot to chill out after a day out in Harrogate. The menu isn't extensive, but there was enough to satisfy both of us, and generally it's better to do a few things really well, rather than have a large mediocre menu. Portions were good too. There was a good selection of beers and wines (an exceptional plum porter for me). There's a lovely enclosed fire, which added to the charm of the place. It seemed quite a few people came in just to drink and chat. I hope we can return some time in the new year.

Six Poor Folk is an impressive spot. The seating area and bar are fantastic, providing a comfortable space to relax. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The outside area with benches and heaters is a great addition, perfect for enjoying a drink or a smoke. Overall, Six Poor Folk offers a delightful experience.

Nice Sunday lunch,worth a visit.

Our first visit and disappointed, scalded coffee, over cooked poached egg, greasy hash, after our initial fabulous friendly welcome when the owner was in !!!!! the service was nonexistent when he left, sadly nothing to make us return.

Great spot for a family lunch, kids and dogs friendly

Had a delicious meal in this little bisto. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Amazing place. Great food. Very friendly staff. Lovely beer garden. Will definitely come again when in the area

Called in about 7.45..heard alot of good things about the place. But it wasnt for us. Ordered our food. I had burger.. Asked for white got wholemeal and it was hard toasted. No mention of fries or hash brown in menu.. Husband asked for seabass... No prawns or small pots. But got fried pots.. Waitress tried to take my wine away before i had finished it... When leaving the building the entrance not lit enough. As there are 2 steps but not visible enough. And i fell over.. Im a local and wont be going back..

Wasn't great food even though the service was very nice. Vegetarian falafel lunch wasn't anything special and the portion sizes were a bit mean. Not sure why some establishments assume that just because one is vegetarian or vegan one must automatically be less hungry or on some kind of diet.

Genuinely welcome discovery. Excellent beers, coff and cake. Good range too including catering for vegans. Dog friendly and very welcoming to people as well. Beers were excellent, coffee strong and well made. Went back twice and would make a point of revisiting if in the area again. Wonderful 👍

Cool place. Informal atmosphere with good food and friendly staff. There was a problem which we wouldn't have known about unless they told us. Our main course was delayed and we were having a great evening and wasn't aware. That apologised for the delay and gave us a free bottle of wine. Top marks.

We had high hopes for our night out as my wife and son had been before and liked it. Tonight was very different. The service from start to finish was awful, except from Luke. Our waitress was dis-interested and didn't seem to careless when she told us they didn't have any steak, one of only 4 main courses. Despite this our food was generally OK. The place itself was soulless upstairs. Dessert was a doubt at 8.30pm on a Saturday night because "the kitchen might be closed". Never again!

Good for coffee and cake or a drink, not for food. I've eaten here twice now and both times the food was disappointing. The first time was a St Patrick's night where 'Irish stew' was served. Myself and my friend who is also Irish commented that it really was nothing like the real thing and the portion was titchy. The second time was a couple of days ago for lunch with my husband. We both ordered the same - poached egg with spinach and garlic mushrooms on a hash brown. Edible and not too bad but the portions were pretentiously small. The hash brown was very small and looked pre-made from a cheap frozen packet. The mushrooms didn't taste of garlic at all. We both said it was more like a snack than a lunch. At nearly £10 each we could have had sit in fish and chips elsewhere nearby. All rather bland. The service is friendly and it's a lovely cosy atmosphere with pleasant decor. The atmosphere is great when there's live music too, so i would go back. But you really need to improve the food and give bigger portions. It's poor value for money at present.

A really good pub, very friendly staff. good beer.

Lovely food, good range of options, nice cafe/bistro low key vibe, & friendly accommodating staff.

Staff were lovely and friendly however we were disappointed with our Sunday roast. No mashed potato, a very small sliver of parsnip and the cauliflower cheese was very sloppy. Overall would not recommend.

This is an excellent and very friendly pub/bar/restaurant. Beer, wine, excellent cocktails on two floors with a nice enclosed beer garden. Well recommended.

Had a day in out Knaresborough and booked here for Sunday lunch, as it was recommended. It was absolutely delicious and had cauliflower cheese included! Lovely little pub and dog friendly too. Highly Recommend.

The food was amazing, the service was great and the toilets were impeccably clean with quality toilet paper!

Not been to Knaresborough before. I am staying for one night in a guesthouse and went out for a meal and a few drinks this evening. What a great experience from start to finish. Despite being very busy, the staff were polite and sorted me...

Has a good,varied and reasonably priced veggie/vegan options. We had the veggie sharing board and signature fries, delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again when visiting Knaresborough.

Had Sunday lunch today. Excellent food, 2 of us had pork and one beef. The quality of the food was very good with generous portion sizes. Staff were friendly and very efficient. This is our second visit here. Will be returning again.

Lovely setting, great food, friendly service. Our second visit and just as good as the first. Varied and imaginative menu, everything cooked well. Lovely sheltered courtyard, perfect for blustery days. Highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Popped in for a drink and food early evening after walking round Knaresborough. Weather was kind, so we ate in the courtyard. which suited as we had got our Golden Retriever with us. Food was bistro style rather than full meal, which was exactly what...

Tastety food, good portion, friendly staff, we had a perfect Sunday lunch. We'll defo come back soon, really enjoy it!!!

Absolutely incredible place, great service and fantastic food, as someone that works in the industry I couldn’t recommend it more :)

Went after recommendation. Two of us had Crab Rarebit on Crumpets. Nice idea. Whole thing was one big stodge. The rarebit had soaked in to the top of the crumpet (not sure the top had been toasted before the rarebit was added). Unpleasant texture. The...

Service was fine and not a long wait for the food, however when it came the veg wasn't cooked, the Yorkshire puddings were hard and dry and the pork had a lot of fat and no crackling. The beef was quite tasty but a little...

Food was amazing, the side salads were weirdly exceptional. However service was slow, we were sat upstairs and had almost no table side service, had to go downstairs to the bar to order drinks and food. Also had to wait an age for the table...

Great spot for daytime coffee and cake or supper. We did both! Couple of steps down into property and toilets upstairs. Plenty of seating inside and upstairs also couple of tables outside. Lovely ambience and friendly staff. Had the ‘special’ for supper of pork and...

2 of us had the beef roast dinner, and the other 2 had the pork, all terrible ! The beef slices were extremely tough, side vegetables awful, the Pork stated it had Crackling on, that's why we both chose it.NO crackling, just thin slivers of...

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch in this lovely spot in Knaresborough. The roast potatoes were to die for, especially good and crispy! A really great selection of veg with delicious meat, Yorkshire's and gravy. We've been searching for a great Sunday lunch out for...

Perfectly cooked Sunday lunch with attentive service and great ambiance. We had the roast beef and couldn’t fault a thing, the veg had the perfect amount of bite and meat was melt in the mouth. I’m disappointed I hadn’t visited sooner!

This was my first visit to Six Poor Brothers and I must admit to being most impressed. As it was always primarily a restaurant, I assumed that the bar area would be a small, add-on in the corner. In reality, it is a good sized...

Been mid afternoon for lunch , the whole plate was fresh and hot when arrived at our table, tasty and suitable sized portions , friendly accommodating staff, the only negative was we were close enough to the door to get a severe cold draught whilst...

Have been to the sox poor folk a few times and it doesn’t disappoint. Firstly you need to book at weekends as they are bendy busy, deservedly so. We had the roast pork and the beef and it was delicious, beef lovely and pink, great...

Went in for lunch. Ordered Turkey Ciabata and Vegan Chilli (on the Soecials Board). Waited circa 30 minutes for food to arrive, only the Ciabatta!! ‘Sorry forgot your order, what did you want’ . I reordered the Vegan Chilli to then be told they had...

Popped in for Sunday lunch while on a trip to Knaresborough it was the most gorgeous dinner I’ve had for a look while the pork was beautiful the veg cooked to perfection the cauliflower cheese was simply stunning the service was outstanding

Called in here as we were passing and were intrigued by the name. Lovely clean cafe/ restaurant, quirky inside and nice food. Had a lovely burger. Good choice of beers and wines. Staff were friendly and efficient.

We used to eat here years ago and always loved their food (especially the burgers). Over the years they reduced their food offerings but I saw that recently they were serving more food again so decided to give it a try. I had the burger...

Sunday just before noon. Looking for lunch or a snack , came upon this place- in the corner of a street near the police station. Very unusual layout inside— bar area in front , small room to the side, two dining rooms upstairs and an...

Food was average, but the staff forgot to put our order through then came to tell us like nothing had happened. So we waited an hour extra and had to pay for more parking, but no compensation. Nice way to treat customers!

I found my whole experience of Six Poor Folk a very enjoyable one. After meeting with a fellow collegue for a working lunch I came away feeling exstremly satisfied. The staff were very helpful, profesional and friendly. The food was excellent with a vast choice...

Came here for a small dinner, the place was quite cosy and some of the staff seem friendly. We ordered the cheese balls, fish and chicken - to our surprise the portions seem a lot smaller than we thought for its price. We finished quite...

Enjoyed a lovely meal here for our anniversary. We had a table downstairs - I had booked. Beautiful, old building with lots of character. Not a lot of choice on the menu if you’re not a fan of tapas. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our ‘big...

Fantastic Bistro! The secret garden at the back is a sun trap and the sandwiches are perfect. I accidentally ordered the wrong item and the staff were more than happy to change it for me, the rump steak sandwich is to die for, especially when...

I visited Six Poor Folk today with my husband, my parents and our 3 dogs for lunch and it was such a lovely experience. We had a warm welcome, our order was taken quickly and our food came soon after. The staff were lovely, attentive...

Lovely friendly staff. We chose a sharing platter of cheese and meat and the day’s fries. Would recommend

Decided to call in for lunch on Fathers Day. Sat in the garden. Lovely atmosphere and staff very friendly. However the food took ages and was clearly not home cooked so no idea why it took so long. My fish was really oily and my...

What's happened to this place? It was our favourite place to eat in Knaresborough but we won't be back after yesterday. We ordered a couple of small plates of food which took over an hour despite asking waiters constantly where it was. When I spoke...

Lovely venue, we sat in the beer garden which is a lovely space with a great atmosphere; inside the restaurant was lovely too, very clean and nicely decorated. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We went in for lunch and the food was amazing, great portion...

Came across this restaurant and decided to try the food, managed to get a table no problem, staff very friendly, ordered our meals, my partner ordered sea bass and I ordered pork belly, the sea bass was quite nice but was served with cabbage which...

Relaxed, dog friendly, great food- massive portions of chips and great value after a lovely walk around the town and river

Recently moved from London to knaresborough - was looking for a friendly local pub and couldn’t have stumbled upon a nicer place! Been going most weeks to the pub quiz on a Wednesday (which is brilliant, great laugh and lovely people), staff are incredibly friendly,...

Popped in without a booking. Enjoyed a lovely traditional sunday lunch in friendly place. No problem being gluten free.

Dropped in for coffee and cake but also had a sandwich, all really good. The cafe/bar is clean and welcoming, staff were reasonably attentive and courteous. Happy to recommend.

We visited recently and overall were disappointed with the whole experience. Table booked for 8pm. Small plates = tiny plates, expensive for the size. Cocktails - poor cocktails tasted like the ones you buy at the supermarket ready made up and were expensive Coffee machine...

Took my family for Easter lunch and we were disappointed with the over all experience. The roast beef dinner had three small slices of beef, the veg was luke warm and the cauliflower cheese that was also included on the pork and chicken dishes had...

It was very busy but the waiter was very good,the beer was well looked after,the service was quicker than we expected,the food we ordered was hot and tasty,live in knaresborough but never been in before but will be back.

We came for lunch but sadly had to wait 25 minutes for a glass of water and a drink which in the end went to fetch ourselves. The waitress did not know the menu. She looked miserable and was extremely slow. They had run out...

Lovely old and cosy building with restaurant across 2 floors. Their small plates menu was inspired and we found that 6 dishes were more than enough for us. The salmon fillet was cooked to perfection and the mushroom and bean meatballs were really tasty. We...

Great little restaurant with cosy atmosphere and friendly service. Food is delicious and plenty of choice, although could have been a bit hotter.

Music far too loud, lots of weekend staff milling around, roast lunch mostly cold, roast pots like rocks, gravy like water, all overpriced. Large step indoors I saw two people trip up (needs better signage), I had to steady one old boy after a spill....

Really nice space and friendly staff. Limited menu but what there was was nice. Our dogs were welcomed, just a shame we couldn't get the seats by the fire, better drop in earlier next time.

Tasty chicken sandwich. Reasonable selection of choices. Excellent coffee. Nice atmosphere. Dog friendly and good service.

Six Poor Folk - Knaresborough - Unusually named inn named after a little hospice that was once run on the site for six patients too poor to afford pre-NHS medical fees. The pub is a real ale mecca, offering food and with a real, glass...

Saturday night, great atmosphere and cosy. Had a selection of small plates which were all very nice, especially the cheese topped fries. Extensive drinks list including cocktails. Staff all very efficient and friendly.

Always call here for lunch whenever we visit Knaresborough. Lovely atmosphere and food.

Excellent food, friendly staff and they also have live music on some nights

What a lovely place; great atmosphere and we all loved our food! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic food, really enjoyed this little gem

Super friendly (and dog friendly) service, good coffee, lovely little courtyard. Will call again 🙂

Good beer,good company and brilliant service.

Popped to knaresborough on valentine's Day for a spot of lunch and came across this little place. More importantly than anything else is that dogs ARE most definitely welcome inside!! Ordered a fish sandwich and portion of loaded fries with a glass of vino and a lager (I'm a heathen - the place prides itself, quite rightly, on its ales and beers). The food was ridiculously good and well worth the money! The place was warm and very welcoming!! Well done to all the team!! You should be very proud of what you have created!!!!
