We called in for drinks recently, I went flying on a hidden step and now I'm limping. First impressions, it needs a lot of attention, the paintwork is chipped and worn in many places and the furniture is a bit worn in some areas. Checked the food menu and even basic choices are a bit pricey and I'm not sure I would eat there anyway?? Drinks we thought are a bit overpriced too? The loos are not pleasant, a bit grubby and smelly, don't think we will be returning. Such a shame it could be a great place, lovely old building but it's not being looked after.

Great service and excellent food. Attentive service by Jacky. Came in with the family, my wife and two sons for some dinner. Fish and chips were crispy and tasty. Jacky played with my two little boys and really made a fuss.

What a great pub. Been in a few times for sport, great atmosphere for big games. But the food is great as well. Steak and ale pie really hit the mark. Highly recommend!

Mark the manager served myself whilst visiting Harrogate from Birmingham, he was very welcoming, and of course very helpful about local knowledge and recommending places for me and my family to visit nearby. Lovely traditional pub, in beautiful area and clean outside as well as in doors with a homely atmosphere.

I’ve been coming to the Alex for a long time now and have seen different staff and management come and go. I have to say the team now are fantastic they always go out of their way to give me amazing customer service I never have to ask for my drink cause they know what I like and the best thing for me, they love my dogs and always ask if they need water. There’s always a friendly face to greet us and I always look forward to coming back. Thanks for everything guys

Only stopped briefly but found the venue inviting, clean, and the staff polite. The football was on, but not overly loud or imposing. A couple would still be able to hear each other. I thought the food portion was a little small, but maybe I am spoilt... being an out-of-towner. Would happily come back and try a full meal on my next trip to town.

Poor service. Advertising says serving food till 10pm on doors and plaques outside. It was the one reason we came here. But it's false advertising and do not sell food till 10pm so don't be fooled by their false advertising. Also the neck oil was poor quality, very cloudy and did taste right.

Absolutely disgusted by staff today sat at the end of the bar because the place was dead!!! No wonder the pubs out back were busy we spent well over £130 had a small complaint about rock hard garlic bread to be shouted at you won't get a refund for the meal!!!!!!! we didn't ask for a refund just a suggestion that it shouldn't be cooked as long it was rock hard!!!! Then as my daughter left to move her car we were still sat in the pub listening to the girl behind the bar mocking and slagging off her complaint the chef just stood and laughed we were told it's ok the garlic bread is sh1t we get lots of complaints about it!!! This isn't how you speak to customers let alone disrespect them as they leave the premises especially when the rest of the table ate still there and can hear everything!!!!

My online booking requests were as I wanted, the exact tables I always enjoy sitting at, thsnk you. Whilst the steak and ale pies were a good size and nice they were let down by the small portion of mash potatoes and two slices of carrots served with them, but it was all nice and hot, just a little small for us. Perhaps an offer of small/large portions of these could be an option.

Been visiting here for several years whilst visiting Harrogate and for the past 2 days for food/drink (lots) and football. Walked out this evening after some of the juvenile staff decided to persistently throw/bang a bottle of Vimto onto the bar despite telling them it was annoying and pissed me off. Left to spend my money elsewhere and won’t be coming back. Pathetic 😡

Horrible, Expensive, cold, small, heavy batter, disgustingly small portion of peas , end pieces of batter had no fish in them, very thin fish as well as small portion, delivery fee and service charge on top for something no where near as good or as big as a fish and chip shop food. Told driver signal dropped out so could not tell where they were on journey. You are a restaurant. Sort yourself out none of this should happen

We pre- booked online asking for a quiet table to celebrate our Anniversary. On arrival we were told ‘just sit anywhere’. My husband ordered from the Pie deal but was told that neither of the real ales - Doombar and Nicholson IPA were available. He was told he’d have to choose a lager instead which he doesn’t drink. He suggested to the ‘manageress’ that he could have the one ale which was available and she refused saying he’d have to pay its full price on top of the deal. We were not impressed. The starters of croquettes and hoummus & olives were fine and the steak & ale pie was acceptable but my tiny deep-fried fishcakes were 95% potato - hardly a salmon flake in sight! (Tip : buy Aldi’s own salmon fishcakes which are much bigger and contain about 75% salmon for a fraction of the price). A disappointing outing for a special anniversary. The establishment was almost empty and compared unfavourably with the lively and bustling Piano & Pitcher bar next door

Nice place in a lovely street, cosy and generally quite clean with good service. However we waiting over 45mins for 2 small bowls of food. This was after asking where the food was.. . as we couldnt believe how long we were waiting. When it was delivered to the table, the portions were so small I genuinely thought they were freebies for the wait. To rub salt into the wounds, another table close by seemed to also have an issue with the wait of the food but they were offered a free drink! Tbf the wait staff were very apologetics and explained it was extremely busy... so perhaps some help for the kitchen staff would be good especially considering it was a Saturday afternoon.

I ordered a crispy chicken burger with bacon when I got home and opened it. I was very disappointed as only got the chicken burger in the bun, no bacon or anything. And my partner got a double cheese burger and he also got no filling. We was very disappointed. We couldn't eat them as very dry.
