The Chocolate Works Harrogate in Harrogate

We booked this restaurant over 4 months ago, only to turn up to find that it was closed!!!!! We had over an hours drive to the restaurant, as it had been recommended. The booking was for a special occasion, celebrating a friends birthday. We received notification of the booking from the booking agent the evening before as well as on the morning of the lunch booking, so there was no notification saying that the restaurant was closed. When we arrived there was a printed note on the door saying that there was a problem with the roof so it was going to be closed for a short while. There was no evidence of any building work and the tables were still set up for dining, so it seemed a very strange situation. I telephoned the restaurant and the call was transferred to an answer machine. I have still not received any feedback, which is very rude, All pre-booked diners should have been notified of the closure, as this is the only polite way to explain the situation. I have also checked the restaurant website (as I was planning to Email), and the website domain is no longer available. I can only assume that the restaurant is now permanently closed. Very unprofessional and rude!!

Great service and delicious food.

Brilliant, we arrived on a Sunday had a walk around the town, noticed this restaurant and really enjoyed our evening. The staff were so friendly and accommodating.

Space and service were excellent but I ate here as a vegan in a spa day and my choices were cold soup or cold vegetables dressed up as a mezze plate. A bit disappointing giving how much you pay.

Lovely little spot, ace beer garden
