The Alexandra-Pizza Kitchen And Bar in Harrogate

Very small portion sizes in contrast to previous reviews. 6 pigs in blankets for £5.50 is rather extortionate. It took almost 1 hour for 2 pies to come out - it was not overly busy. The staff were apologetic which was appreciated. Would not recommend as portion sizes are bad and the food is average.

Great service - good food - BUT no gluten free choices on menu - come on guys it’s 2024!!

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.

Nice place. Nice food, helpful staff.

on time, the burger quality is great, tasted good, few chips but filling. and a glass bottle of cold coke. was like eating out but at home.

The service I recieved from Josh and Mark made me feel so welcome! The service was incredible even with it being rather busy

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.

Unreal scenes. Josh made me feel valued and seen.

I have to the Alex many times and love the company of the bartender Jaz. She has been amazing every time I have been but all the staff are lovely and offer the best service. Deffo recommend!!!

Served by Jackie. Dog friendly. Great spot to go in for some Friday night dinner.. would return

Josh and the team made me feel so welcome. The service was excellent. And the food was perfectly cooked.

Served by Jackie. Very pleasant and dog friendly. A great spot for a bit of Friday night dinner. We will return again when next in Harrogate. Thankyou

Went in to the Alexandra to watch the football last Sunday, was a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly. We ordered food….. it didn’t take too long to arrive which was good (I recommend the nicholsons burger ) overall a great day out 10/10 will be back !!!

Josh and mark were both brilliant behind the bar made us feel so welcome

great drinks, great staff, great service. love this place

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

Popped in for some food and refreshment while in the area. Loved my pie.

Only issue was items missing mushy peas and tartar sauce

Only called in for a pint one afternoon lovely pub would return again next time I'm in the area

Busy pub with sport on. Fast service and friendly staff. Just a shame their head office isn't as efficient at removing coupons from the app when the deals are no longer available.

Very poor menu. And very overpriced.

Everything was excellent, the staff, the food, the drinks and the atmosphere

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!!!!

A proper pub with decent ale, Timothy Taylor excellent, didn’t eat but food looked good. Would go again

Josh and Gracie have been amazing and made us feel very welcome

There were three humans and two collies, which called in at the Alex on Sunday afternoon. We were all made to feel welcome, the dogs got brought water bowls without us asking for them. We had a few drinks and chose three snacks , which were all delicious. All the staff were very friendly. Will be returning very soon. Keep up the good work.

Excellent bar staff, superb food. Great service, great ambience. Would definitely recommend and will be returning for our next night out.

We had a retirement party the food and service was excellent good choice of food and selection beer's we really enjoyed our afternoon thank you for our warm welcome.

Josh mark and the team made me feel very welcome, excellent customer service highly recommend everyone to try here and sample the cider

Had a wonderful meal and drinks with partner and her friends from work. Celebrating a staff retirement. The food was excellent and staff where extremely accommodating throughout our time there.

A English pub in the center. We had a sandwish deal and it was good. Nice staff, clean toilets.

Great bar with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere

Large old style pub with a good selection of real ales served in confy surroundings.

Food pretty bad. Fish finger sandwich was more batter than bread, very tough.

Love it and the Timmy Taylors Landlord is spot on as always.

No GF food on menu, Jasmin had a chat with chefs who rustled up a hot meal for me. Excellent service.

Great pub in centre of Harrogate. Great selection of drinks and a great atmosphere.

Enjoyed the many methods for which we could order, and that a server still came to the table to see if we'd prefer to order with him. The food was excellent and came very fast. The staff all came by to play and entertain our dog and provide water.

Over cooked fish,oven chips chewy batter. Don't know what happened to this place.

Nice place. Didn't eat but meals looked good. Would definitely return.

Lovely food and pub We always go every time we visit Harrogate

Really liked our visit for a couple of drinks and a bite to eat, pleasant surroundings and friendly staff

Ok. A lot better than it was ☺. Good sport coverage on multiple screens.

Warm welcome Courteous staff great ambience Delicious food

Ok pub pretty quiet not much atmosphere

Warm and pleasant interior. Service was quick and plenty of TV screens to watch sports. We only had an hour so couldn't try the food.

Good proper pub, enjoyable experience

Vreselijke plek. Wij zijn weg gelopen. We zochten iets te eten. Wij kwamen binnengelopen en werden als aliens aangestaard. Er was niets meer over op het menu. De sfeer was niet bestaand qua verlichting en alles was nogal smoezelig.

Four of us visited this pub on a Christmas shopping trip we received a warm welcome we stayed for some food which was delicious. Lovely clean pub friendly staff and excellent service it was so good we came back the next evening and the next time we visit Harrogate we will definitely call in again.We would highly recommend this establishment.

Very welcoming, comfortable bar. Friendly and efficient staff, spotlessly clean, good mix of customers (regulars, families, couples). Food extremely tasty and good value. Pool tables available, sport on plenty TVs, great location

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.

Friendly pub. Had a quick drink so I was not able to try the food. I would return when I have a bit more time. Allowed my pet access.

Fish finger fillet sandwich…. Served on stale brown toast 🤢🤢🤢filthy sauce /condiments bottles need to up your game awful 😞

Food was lovely. Fast service. Will definitely be going back soon.

Lively bar in the town centre. Very popular with visitors and locals. 8 handpump ales were available, I chose a guest ale from Devon, which was in perfect condition. Live Football was being shown on the large screens during my Saturday afternoon visit. I would recommend and visit again! 🍻

good example of solid pub wuth food. nice guys behind the bar, efficient and helpful. food ordering apo worked well even though too many veg sides missing. dog well looked after too. not busy on a wed night.

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 😡

Great choice of craft beers, well worth a visit

Came for a weekend in harrogate really good safe covid set up ,amazing friendly staff .would definitely recommend and we will be back

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

I would highly recommend this for food and service, staff are very helpful and friendly The food was excellent, I'll definitely be going back soon.

Seen a pub open selling food and we were hungry so we called in, it's a nice enough place with ok prices and nice enough food but nothing special overall

Not open at stated opening time. Highly annoying.

Stopped for a drink after a long day. Average

Daytime visits so quite quiet, but nice interior and good service

Lovely pub with some really interesting history, came in for a small lunch and had the fish finger sandwich and chip, really tasty and reasonably priced for the area. The barmaid was helpful and cheerful.

Called in for pre cinema drinks.

A quietly pleasant couple of beers on a day trip from Walsall. Nice staff...

We had a lovely meal here. The lamb shank pie was amazing according to my husband and my 8 year old said the childrens meal was lovely too. Dog friendly and great atmosphere.

Visited on Sunday evening. Big bar. It was empty. Closed at 10pm.

Great pitstop from the rain. Helpful bar staff, pleasant atmosphere to relax.

Lovely pub, with pub grub food in the heart of Harrogate

Lovely pub. Lovely staff. Lovely pints. Would recommend!

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

Sat in a view pretty spot opposite a park. It has an amazing beer selection

It was ok nice friendly staff prompt service and good beer

Great pub in the heart of Harrogate.

Food served on cold plates and food not much warmer only 2 people in when we left the bar staff were nice enough

Not the best food in the world but it was okay

Great venue. Lovely staff. Highly recommended

Had the chicken schnitzel. Good bar service. Took a bit to get the condiments. Food was good. Wish they did a pork schnitzel. Will go back.

Decent spot with the usual drinks choices, nothing particularly positive or negative to say about it

Worked as a Door supervisor here for an evening; the Alexandra has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly bar staff. I'd recommend a pint here to anyone visiting Harrogate

Disappointing food. Staff said they would speak to chef - nothing mentioned to us following that chat. £12 for a below average burger is ridiculous. Shame we didn’t get any follow up after staff spoke to the chef.

Staff very friendly, food well presented, tasty & well cooked. This is the 2nd time we've stayed in Harrogate and on both accasions have made the Alexandra our priority for evening meals.

Enjoyed the nicholsons burger, a bit messy but fantastic, best Guinness I've had in Harrogate for a while!

Staff is amazing 👏 nevermind the gorgeous building and location . Its the staff that made it

My favourite place to watch sport in Harrogate, beer selection is always brilliant with all the old favourites on and some great hand pulls if you like ale. Can't comment on the food but always a good atmosphere.

Good food, great wine and good views - we even had sunshine! Staff were attentive and friendly too

We will go again next time we're in Harrogate, nice place to go for a drink and meal and a nice view looking over the stray.

Only had a drink but good choice and friendly staff

Very comfortable, dog friendly and excellent food.

Great place to watch sport and eat.

Nice clean environment great choice of beer and craft ales 🍺

Dog friendly, nice and warming atmosphere

Food was cold and portion of veg was missing
