The Alice Hawthorn in Harrogate

Absolutely fantastic. Can’t recommend enough. Always a pleasure and a great place to take family and friends. Amazing food. Amazing service. Always a safe bet.

We were recommended this restaurant as a good place to go for a meal and it certainly didn't fail to meet the expectations, fantastic service from arrival and throughout the whole evening, the food was excellent too with very attentive staff

We had such a wonderful meal, the ambiance is amazing and the staff are so lovely! We really appreciated how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The food was some of the best in york, the crab lasagne left a bit to be desired but everything else was absolutely incredible (I can’t fault it!). We will be back soon for another special meal and will be staying over as the rooms looked gorgeous. Thank you for such a special evening! P.s. make sure you don’t miss out on the desserts… heavenly

Very attentive staff without being intrusive. Meal excellent and beautifully presented. The place to go for a special occasion knowing it will meet your expectations.

Always wonderful and great to see so many people enjoying Friday lunchtime

Went for Sunday lunch today. The venue is stunning and the service was relaxed but attentive. We had goats cheese croquettes and king scallops as starters, followed by duck breast and roast beef for main course. All 4 dishes were outstanding. We'll be returning very shortly.

Just fabulous! Food brilliant - lobster pithiver divine! Friendly and very efficient staff - thanks Jonah for looking after us so well! This is our ‘regular’ for special nights out! Thank you Alice team you are amazing!

We stayed here for bed and breakfast, the room was really nice and cosy, nice big bed, bathroom was small but modern and very clean. Tasty full English breakfast, the staff are very friendly and attentive. Hopefully we'll be back for an evening meal next time!

It was a difficult night for the team at the Alice Hawthorn as the electricity supply to the village was down affecting the kitchen and some of rooms. Our room wasn't affected except for lack of Internet. The team produced a short menu that could be cooked on the fancy Japanese bbq and/ or cold items. Food was very good and more so given the circumstances. The staff were excellent, upbeat and charming. Would definitely return to experience the full menu.

We were looking for somewhere to eat on our way to York and ended up finding ourselves here. The place is very picturesque from the outside, the lights on the buildings really look the part. It's a massive venue, much bigger than we expected from our first impression. Once inside we made our way to the bar and asked if it was possible to get some food, the bartender showed us the specials menu on a blackboard above the fireplace and said there was a table 'through there' we could have. We ordered drinks and set about going to the table when a customer suggested we stay in the bar area as it was going to be cold where the server had suggested. We redirected ourselves to a table that had just been vacated, got sat down and were moved within minutes to the proper restaurant area as where we were sat had been booked for half seven. There was a sign indicating this though we hadn't planned on being there that long anyway. Once seated we were asked if we wanted some water for the table to which we replied yes, the water however never arrived. I wouldn't say the menu was overly big but it was very high end in terms of price, we settled for a few sides and couldn't complain about the quality of the food but would think for the pricing the service would have been slightly better than it was.

What a wonderful place! Gorgeous food, service and ambience

Lovely peaceful setting in an idyllic village near York. The Alice Hawthorn certainly delivers on style, ambiance and delicious food coupled with excellent service. I had the lamb which was superbly tasty and well presented. We were rather full from our main courses so decided to have a trio of puddings between the three of us. It was a good choice as it gave us each a mouthful of three different puddings without being too much. Would highly recommend and would love to come and stay next time

We stayed here for the night while travelling back to Aberdeen from Norfolk. The location is excellent as it is around 10 minutes from the A1. As you enter the village it is like stepping back in time - A beautiful country village that harks back to calmer, quieter times. The pub itself is really nicely appointed, and the rooms are wonderful. Most are located in separate buildings just behind the main pub. They are Scandinavian style lodges, with all mod cons and plenty of space. They have a very new feel to them, which is in direct contrast to the olde worlde feel of the pub. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and serves up excellent food.

This is my mother’s favourite place to eat because it’s so consistently brilliant. Punchy flavours cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive but not overbearing and kind enough to squeeze us in last minute too.

Delicious & most of all tasteful food. These Chefs are at the top of their game! Well done Team.

Absolutely brilliant Service superb Food so good

A real treat, excellent food, service and atmosphere 👌 😋

We have eaten here a few times but it was our first Dinner B&B experience of Alice… A lovely welcome from the charming, assured and highly professional, Nicole! “Pub” room was a great size with a splendid bathroom. Nice touches which not everywhere does anymore…bubble bath is you wish to soak, water, milk and freshly baked biscuits. A light on a sensor in the bathroom so you don’t have to search for a switch during the night. Dinner was very tasty with a good choice of different meats and fish…vegetarian and vegan choices? No idea. Who cares. A very good nights sleep followed. Breakfast was a veritable feast with many choices and all the while being looked after by the attentive Nicole who seemed to appear just as you needed something. Bravo! It’s not cheap, but nothing is anymore, and we think if you compare it to other places aiming at similar people, it’s up there. Well worth a visit. Thank you.

Completely refurbished, but retaining that country pub setting. Amazing food and very accommodating staff. Went with three friends to celebrate my birthday and they didn't disappoint.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at The Alice, a gorgeous Inn with divine food, however their housekeeping is not the best. Our sink in the shower room was not cleaned during our stay leaving tide marks and toothpaste splashes and we couldn't get the heating on, the towel rail was therefore cold and it was quite cold in the bedroom in the evening. Would we stay again I'm not sure given the fact it's quite pricey we would have expected better.

We have not long returned from a three night stay at The Alice Hawthorn and had a wonderful time, gorgeous Inn and divine food. We stayed in The Cosy room above the pub which was absolutely fine for a short stay. However we were not impressed with the housekeeping, our basin in the shower room was never cleaned while we were there leaving tide marks and toothpaste splashes, really not good. Also we were unable to turn on the heating consequently the towel rail never hot to dry towels and coming to the end of September it was actually quite cold in the evening in the room. A beautiful inn with outstanding food but would we return, I'm not sure, it's pricey and would have expected better.

Beautifully converted barn with modern European Cuisine and warm service. Food is locally sourced, seasonal and very fresh. Great steak selection and vast seafood options, too. Indoor as well as outdoor seating available with some BBQ events in the summer. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Thumbs up will return 👍

Only called in for a drink so cannot comment on anything really

Excellent food, unstable crockery, off-hand service.

Great place , extremely helpful staff ,

Booked for luncheon and arrived a little early so sat in the bar but was soon shown through to our table. Ordered a couple of drinks whilst trying to decide what to eat. The choice is limited but great choice of dishes. Starters were just lovely with prawns and goat cheese followed by fillet steak and venison. Ordered fine green beans as a side with the venison and oh my goodness, if I could have them daily, I would. Plates were very soon emptied with comments like Mmmmm and ohhhhh yes for the fillet. Venison was served pink and if you haven't tried it that way, Please do. Desserts again all looked amazing but we eventually went with the cheese board to share and an alfagoto each, served with a shot of liqueur. Every single mouthful was truly delightful. The staff were attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would imagine the venue to be one for social occasions as our meal ( 3 courses each plus 1 pint and a couple of gins) came in at just under £170.00. We certainly couldn't afford to eat here weekly but a once a month treat would most definitely be on the cards. So, why 4 star and not 5? Yes, the food was very good as was the service but there is always room for improvement. We shall look forward to our next trip to see if the 5 stars can be given.

A Fabulous Hotel . Wonder friendly , knowledgeable & welcoming staff ( Special mention for Charlie & Taylor ) . We had a fabulous midweek break . Outstanding food . Beautiful hotel . Highly recommended if you looking for a special hotel break or just somewhere for a special lunch or evening meal . A big thank you to all the team at The Alice Hawthorn.

Excellent in every way. We stayed for one night with dinner and breakfast. The accommodation was beautiful, the meal was of an extremely high standard and one of the best I've had this year, and the service was faultless. I can't recommend the Alice Hawthorn highly enough and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

Thank you for a fabulous anniversary lunch. The food, service and atmosphere were superb. We will definitely be returning and bringing our friends. As a chocolate fiend, the dark chocolate cremaux was particularly scrumptious. Thank you for the attention to detail and that this was a special day for us. All the best. See you soon. Michelle and Kelvin.

We visited The Alice Hawthorn yesterday for a rather long lunch, after meeting up with friends whom we had not seen for 3 years. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff v ery delightful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them . Definitely we hope to return in the future. Well done!

Our second visit here and another excellent experience. The food was delicious and really well prepared. Service was attentive and efficient. Top notch establishment with a deserved reputation.

Lovely hotel and pub in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Nun Monkton. Friendly staff, great dinner and breakfast

Lovely setting and great meal, friendly and efficient service but would expect this for the price.

The dinner was amazing especially the lamb and venison only exceeded by the the excellent service from Jonah and Tom.

Great place to eat just outside York. Lovely decor and setting with great service and food to match. Surprised that my lamb didn’t come with any form of potato hence the four rather than five stars, as all the rest of our party’s dishes did.

What an amazing find in a beautiful village! We stayed in ‘Hay’ overnight and had a wonderful stay. The room was on the first floor with plenty of light and ventilation. The bathroom was large and a fabulous bath! The room was decorated tastefully, little touches of bottled water and fresh milk in the fridge was great. The night light in the bathroom was very useful. The bed was super comfy, the pillows were gorgeous so much so we have ordered some! The only thing missing was a bath robe which would have been useful. We had a fabulous meal in the restaurant, it was a 10/10 for quality and service. We had 3 attempts at choosing a bottle of red wine, this was unfortunate but the pubs wine supplier had not arrived that day with their order. The whole pub has a lovely relaxing feel to it and we will definitely return.

Delicious food, yummy cocktails and friendly staff. X

We stayed for dinner and an overnight stay. Our room was in the new building and was delightful and comfortable, great decor and excellent welcome from the team. Dinner and service was outstanding, I can certainly recommend the venison. Wifi is a bit patchy in the room, but who needs it when you are in such a wonderful setting

We stayed for one night in a garden room. The pub is located in a beautiful quaint village, complete with village green and duck pond. The pub building has been beautifully renovated and the garden rooms are modern, comfortable and spacious with gorgeous decor and every convenience. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious and service was very good, the setting is very attractive with a pleasant ambiance. Breakfast was fabulous, freshly cooked to order with a great choice. We would highly recommend a visit here.

Beautiful place, great quality food in lovely surroundings

We stayed one night at this wonderful country Inn. The room, the service, the bar and the food were all excellent. It is convenient for York and Harrogate.

We stayed overnight in the lovely courtyard rooms. Dinner was delicious. The ceviche was once of the loveliest things I have ever eaten, followed by another wonderful fish dish and a shared chocolate pudding. My husband had two different duck dishes and was very happy....

Went in for a pint, had the handmade crisps, divine

We had an amazing meal here - all three courses were delicious! The starter of king prawns was delicate, buttery and a nice hit of garlic. The waygu beef steak was cooked to perfection, tender and super flavourful. And their take on tiramisu stole the show, such lovely flavours of coffee and cream all came together. I’d highly recommend it!

Wonderful historic village maypole madness, Alice Hawthorn inn a plus wonderful food great staff would recommend to anybody well worth a visit thank you all. Been back just as good the second time food really special staff very good premise well looked after big thank you again.

Excellent village pub/restaurant. We sat outside on the front terrace in the sun, whilst overlooking the beautiful village green of Nun Monkton. Service was excellent throughout, food was even better and drinks matched too. Also dog-friendly - 5* from Paddy too 🐾!

We booked for lunch to celebrate my sister and brother in laws Diamond Wedding. We had heard so many good things from our neighbours and friends, so we had high expectations for such a special event. They were well met and the welcome, ambience (on...

Garden rooms are very nicely designed (although a little warm in the sunshine). Interesting (perhaps unique) addition of a herd of cows, who also enjoy the facilities. A lovely meal in the restaurant too.

Mixed feelings due to mixed messages about my two night stay here for work. Rather odd reception when I arrived. I was told I was the only guest staying that night. The gentleman at the bar who was booking me in immediately started asking me if I would like a later breakfast so that the staff could come in later in the morning. I explained I had an early start for a meeting. But explained I’d be happy to have a later breakfast the following morning. The following morning arrives - I come down just after 10am to discover the kitchen stopped serving breakfast at 9.30am. (That’s the earliest breakfast finish I know of from any other hotel I’ve stayed in. Appears the staff are running the hotel to serve themselves and their own timings). So, turned out to be an expensive bed and breakfast option with no breakfast available after 9.30am. Doubtful I’d stay here again. Other, better options locally.

Lovely gastro pub in a beautiful village. Good selection of well kept beers. Great friendly, helpful staff. We were unable to eat a la carte as you need to book (missed out I think) the snacks were fantastic especially the pop corn prawns. Will revisit next time we are in the area

What a place!! The team , the rooms, the food & the location. It is a gem of a place. We had a truly superb stay. The team are all 1st class and I must mention Nicole & Taylor who went above and beyond and...

Food was really good for the most part - lamb, duck, pig cheek, gochujang chicken. Tiramisu was a bit of a letdown - with a twist but not sure the twist worked. Beautiful place in a beautiful village.

After buying my partner a voucher for this place almost a year ago we finally got round to making a booking. Everything from arriving on site to the food and service was just amazing. The team at Alice Hawthorn are so friendly and accommodating. Really...

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at this most attractive pub. The food was excellent and the service relaxed, friendly and efficient. My first course of heritage beetroot was delicious, my main dish of lamb was tender and tasty, and the pudding was suitably indulgent. My...

So glad we were recommended and found this gem of a restaurant. While I wouldn’t call it a Gastropub as it is very much a dining location it does have a bar and real ale. This is a polished place, exceptional attentive but non intrusive...

Fabulous meal, delicious food, excellent service & great atmosphere. A favourite haunt in years gone by, love the modern uograde.

Delicious food and wine. Couldn’t fault anything. Service was excellent and lovely friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back!

The Alice Hawthorne advertises itself as a pub with rooms but its oh so more than that. We've just come back from a 2 night stay there with friends and all 4 of us can not sing its praises high enough. The rooms are a...

The setting is beautiful and the staff and service are mostly excellent. All of this, and the price point sets the highest expectation. We have eaten here a couple of times in recent weeks and feel that there with a very slight shift, it could...

Fabulous - best eatery for miles! Genuine, lovely staff and great food in a wonderful relaxed environment. The Alice doesn’t squeeze too many tables in so they give you a better experience

Definitely worth a visit… we were greeted by very friendly staff and, whilst hadn’t booked a table, we were found one very quickly. What a delightful pub & restaurant! Tastefully furnished, very comfortable and welcoming with an open fire in the bar and extremely pleasant...

It's been sometime since our last visit. The pub itself is lovely. Clearly had much investment put into the property. However, the food does not live up to the surroundings. We all had the roast sirloin of beef as main courses at £27 per head....

I choose this restaurant after reading the positive reviews on tripadvisor. We weren’t disappointed it was absolutely amazing really really enjoyed it. Staff were excellent and we will 100% be back

Visited with friends; normally a great dining experience but this time not so. Popcorn prawns over-battered had to be sent back. Excuse was new sous chef making them . However, in a Michelin restaurant I would have expected the head chef to approve the dish...

Nun Monkton is unusual in that the road to it is a cul-de-sac ending at the church by the river Ouse, consequently there's hardly any traffic. If before dinner you have time to wonder around the village green then note the famous Burne-Jones stained glass...

Just lovely. Beautifully cooked and presented food. All of it spot on. Clean plates all round. Great staff. Great place. In the Great British Pub Awards this year, should do very well. Good Luck.

Lovely restaurant in a picturesque village. It was a busy Sunday but service was still attentive. We both had the beef, wanted the lamb but they had run out. All was good apart from beef which was a bit chewy and gristly and I had...
