The Crown Inn in Harrogate

Didn’t actually stay in a room on this occasion but have done so in the past and definitely would again. Just went in for a meal with family and friends this time. As always the food, service and atmosphere were all FANTASTIC !!!

Shocking customer service. Very rude staff and very contradicting from signs to staffs opinions. Won't be returning! Also a horrible dark hole, no atmosphere at all.

Just pub grub. Not very exciting. No imagination for the sea bass. No sauce, just bland. Thai sea cake flavourless. We can make better meals at home.

Went on anniversary of my dad passing away as we used to go when we were kids 50 years ago. Nice to remember him with my brothers and sister

Only came for lunch. Called last Sunday with family. Had the Carvery and the chef was brilliant allowing me to have a taste of. All the meats. We were on a table closed to the pass. Which was a mistake. Too crowded.Food in general good. But too small a plate, so several items fell on the floor. Staff first class, perhaps a better table and less meat, wud have been best

Only called for a couple of beers and stayed all afternoon,really great pub and a lovely big open real fire dog friendly.

Brilliant place and brilliant services We feel very good, Thank you

My grandson and I had a one night stay after a days walking .Hotel come local pub,great atmosphere ,our evening meal very nice .Breakfast next morning WOW.Abig thank you to all the staff.

The Sunday carvery is excellent, a good choice of food all cooked to perfection. The evening meals are also top class. The staff are friendly, tentative and hard working. I would highly recommend.

Thank you to Niamh and the rest of the team for making Tony’s Birthday celebration today so special for him. The whole party couldn’t rate the food highly enough… it was delicious! Thank you for ‘going the extra mile’ and providing the Birthday cake too! Top destination! Top food! Top team! Thanks again!!! Janet 😊

What a nice pub that is dog friendly. We had drinks and lunch. The bar lady was very pleasant and bought our drinks over very quickly. We ordered. Sandwiches prawn mayo on brown bread served with side salad and coleslaw. Hubby had bacon and Brie on a warm baguette with salad and coleslaw. We ordered a portion of chips. There was plenty of filling in the sandwiches and the chips were thick and crispy. The whole meal was very good and served by pleasant staff. We will return this was our first visit

Lamb steak with mint mash 👌🏻 delightful.

Not a good experience for us, it took us a good while to get served with drinks and food. when the food did come it was very poor Quality. Steak ale pie was uneatable with Frozen chips, and quite expensive. The staff were rude it was if we were in their way. Please take my advice and avoid at all cost, go to the fish and chip shop across the road, You will get better quality food and service.

We only called in for a drink whilst visiting the area. The prices for a couple of beers were extortionate. We were asked to leave at around 10pm as they said "Diners are our business, and we have to be up at 9 for breakfasts". We asked if there was anywhere else in the area we could get a drink after 10pm. They mentioned the pub up the road, but were very derogatory about the clientèle there. It was actually great there and we wished we'd have gone there first!

Popped in for a drink. Had a look at the menu. Decided to have something to eat and was not disappointed. Friendly staff and food was cooked to perfection.

Nice locals pub in the middle of Pateley Bridge. Service friendly enough and good choice of drinks. Didn’t order food, but what we saw others eating looked to be good hearty pub food.

This review is for the restaurant only and I really do not understand where the positive mentions come from. The service is truly good and the waitress was ever so nice, but the food is really mediocre. We had the burgers and they were a real disappointment. If something is badly cooked you can send the course out and ask for something else, but this… The bread obviously came from a plastic bag at Tescos and the meat probably from the same place. It was sturdy and tasted just about nothing. The portion is big but the satisfaction is not. For a £16 burger I would expect so much more.

My family and I went for dinner on a Saturday evening and although the pub was very busy we were served our drinks and food in good time. The Steak and Ale Pie is lovely with a huge portion, the gravey to go with it is fantastic. I would highly recommend this pub.

Very enjoyable Sunday Lunch. Great choice of roasts and sides. Service was exemplary and it was excellent value for a lovely afternoon out. Recommended.

One of the best experiences i have had eating out. I came here three years ago it was good then and still is if not better.10 out of 10 Can't wait to go back

Went her for lunch with close friends, great meal, good service and reasonable price. Good selection of food also. Food did not take long to arrive. Looking forward to going back.

Spent the evening here drinking, eating and celebrating my wife’s birthday 👍😊 Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent - 10 out of 10 👍

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, good prices. Highly recommended 👌

Situated on the High Street in Pately Bridge, this friendly traditional pub offers an excellent Carvery-style Sunday lunch from 12.00 - 3.00pm. Delicious, home-cooked food, comprising a choice of 3 roasts cooked to perfection and a great selection of about 9 veg, including less predictable offerings such as creamed leeks and red cabbage. The walls of the dining area are lined with dozens of Neil Simone prints, as well as another talented artist. It's worth going just to see those! As with many small businesses who suffer crippling charges imposed by the huge banking corps, cash is preferred if you can, so knowing that in advance will help you support them. Go. Eat. You won't regret it! You can always take a stroll along the beautiful river to walk it off!

Superb fish n chips for lunch, amazing service and lovely kept cask ales. Very friendly staff and a lovely clean place. 10/10

Terrible customer service. Landlady was extremely rude and curt when a simple request was rejected as out of hand. No apologies, no basic courtesy or eye contact. 2 other staff members seemed fine but wow, couldn't believe the response I got to a very polite enquiry! Shockingly poor!

Staff were very polite & professional dressed very smart greeted us with a smile. The food was fantastic I ordered steak and ale pie with seasonal vegetables with a choice of chips or mash, I can honestly say it was the best steak pie I've ever had full of meat with lashings of gravy and enough vegetables to feed 4 if us. Our table ordered ravioli, seabass houlimi cheese 🧀 everyone on my table loved the food and the service we will definitely be coming to try there Sunday roast. For the price we paid we was shocked as it was so good. Would definitely reccomend anyone going to pately Bridge to book a table here for top quality dining out.

Great service and fantastic food 😊 It was worth the 50 mile journey, I will definitely go back 😋.

Dropped in for a pint. Lively regulars. Good service

Great location, staff we're very nice.

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff

My friend and I stayed on Saturday 27 April and what a lovely place this is. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the rooms were lovely and extremely comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant, being booked in at very short notice even though they were very busy. We both had steak which was delicious and perfectly cooked. It had a lovely mix of local people and tourists and is obviously very popular. What a great find we will be back. Thank you for a lovely stay, it just wasn't long enough.

Remember the 1981 movie "an American werewolf in London"? Well this pub needs to be renamed the Slaughtered Lamb! Enter at your own risk and be warned if you do you will understand where I am coming from.

Very good food at reasonable prices and nice varied choices. Dod friendly.

Across the courtyard from our holiday cottage , we had a few drinks. The staff were very welcoming, and the locals in the bar were very pleasant. It's a really nice atmosphere.

Lovely inn serving good food and great staff.

Just called for a drink, £9 for a Madri, lime and soda and packet of pork scratchings.

Fabulous Sunday roast with ample roast beef and wonderful cauliflower cheese! The crumble was delicious too!

Stopped for lunch when passing through Pateley Bridge. Wonderful Yorkshire hospitality, all staff friendly, cheerful and polite. Fish & chips tasty and filling, reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend.

Went here twice during our few days stopping locally. Nice local ale, lovely food and a warm welcome from the ladies who were working there. Definitely recommended.

Probably the worst breakfast I've ever had.

Friendly staff, good beer, excellent food at inexpensive prices and comfortable bars. What more do you want?

Dropped in for lunch a day ago. Recommended by a local. Warm, friendly greeting. The place is spotless. Delicious lunch, well judged portion. Not too big, just the right quantity. Extremely fairly priced. Will definitely return.

Delicious burger at a reasonable price. Service was fine. Fireplace nice and warm. So nothing to complain about.

Fanbloomintastic Always a warm welcome. Hearty food and good beer

‘Land lady’ is so rude it’s ridiculous. Made our whole family feel really uncomfortable. After leaving we were told by multiple locals that she is very well known for being rude & unfriendly. Visited the Royal Oak afterwards which was much more friendly and pleasant.

Very quaint pub with friendly staff and great ale selection. Sadly let down by average food - although the chips are fantastic

Accidentally smashed a lamp which had wires roaming all about the place and was RUDELY told to leave. We offered to pay for the damages but was not accepted. Was extremely rude and was not polite at all. Will not be returning.

On Saturday the 11th November we had a lovely meal. The service was excellent as was the food. All the staff looked after us well and we will definitely be going again.

Stopped for breakfast.very good value.friendly welcome.lovely and clean and lots of interesting things to look at.walls decorated with an artists work.set in lovely little village. Toilets immaculately clean.will deffo go again.great job.

Booked last minute for a group of 9 for Sunday lunch. Bit wary after some of the reviews but the service was brilliant and the food was delicious and plentiful. Wanted to try a dessert but didn't get past my main. Will have to order in reverse next time! Would definitely recommend and we will return next time we're in the area.

Some of the best food at reasonable prices we have ever tasted. Steak pie and the lasagna was amazing. Home cooked chips were great.

Went for Sunday lunch, roasties veg gravy Yorkshire pudding great !! But the Beef!! Don’t bother it’s straight out of a packet or just extremely overcooked and thin. I suggest the Crown omits the beef if it comes like that every week. My friend had the Moroccan Lamb, I really didn’t understand why lamb wasn’t on the Sunday lunch list of meats?? Just increase the price and serve a fabulous Sunday lunch.

I visited with a friend for lunch. The food was good, with suitable portion sizes and a fair price for the quality and quantity. The staff were friendly and attentive. We both said we would be back the next time we visit Pateley

Lovely atmosphere and good food

Very friendly efficient service and delicious food. The bar is cosy and welcoming and the staff were great.

Lovely lunch, large portions, reasonable prices, pleasant staff. Four of us plus our little dog enjoyed our stop over. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice place for lunch in Pateley Bridge.

If your in the area I would highly recommend the food here . Lovely friendly staff,service very quick if not a bit too quick between courses. Food portion size is not for the faint hearted,probably the best lasagne I've ever had 😋

Popped in my partner, and this land lady thinks shes something else. so rude to people and very confrontational. do not recommend!!

Good and bad elements... Good - excellent food, huge portions. Bad - two members of staffs' attitude. They were rude, and incredibly unwelcoming, even groaning at us asking questions about the food. I got the impression they simply did not like customers (unless you are a friend). This is such a shame because the building, location and food make it a great pub. Shame about the staff. I'm really glad I wasn't staying there!

This is the first pub I have ever got up and left having not finished my drink. I have never experienced such a rude member of staff, let alone Landlady. I am actually gobsmacked at the attitude and lack of customer service. I am not sure if she doesn’t like visitors, children or is just plain rude but she’s certainly in the wrong business. Do not visit if you want a warm welcome.

Had a great evening recently. Great food and very friendly team!

Been coming to the crown for several years under the old owners and now with the present owners. Never had a bad meal. Matt and Lynn go above and beyond for their customers. Nothing is too much trouble. They work so hard as do all their staff. The menu choice is good and they also have a specials board. Not the cheapest place to eat but portion size and food quality makes it worth it along with the pleasant staff. They make such a fuss our little girl and she loves going there.

I can’t recommend this place enough. Me and my partner came for a quick lunch here, not knowing the area. The young brunette waitress, was amazing very kind and attentive running the restaurant. The food is the best I’ve ever had. A good steak pie with a gravy, large portions. Chef needs a pay rise

The service was incredibly slow and we had to ask for sugar for the coffees. The food order was mistaken and the veg was raw. It wasn't cheap either. We won't be returning

A very friendly atmosphere with excellent service. I stayed one night to attend the Nidderdale Show & appreciated the quick check in etc. The food is amazing, I had the steak pie which had very tasty gravy & melt in the mouth pastry. Lovely large portion of veg/home made chips & the best onion rings I have ever eaten. All together an excellent & no hassle stay which is top of my list when staying away for business.

Monday night, post VV busy Pateley show weekend. Malaysian curry flavours exactly what you’d expect, spicy but warming coconut flavors, a nice variation to the traditional pub grub. (If you haven’t had Matts steak and Ale pie, you’ve missed a reet treat) CHECK OUT THE SPECIALS!! Great mix of local and seasonal meals. Game season is here. Super experienced pub run by people who care, can’t be faulted. Thanks guys

We had a lovely lunch here today. Good choice of dishes. We chose from the specials menu . The food was delicious and well presented . The fruit crumble and custard was really good! The waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend a visit.

Real shame, only went in for a beer after a lovely walk nearby. Got served at the bar by a lovely blonde haired barmaid, the other younger dark haired barmaid was a more frosty, we had our dog and she didn't make us feel welcome, we had another drink and was served by the frosty barmaid !! If you want to work in a tourist pub then at least try and be nice or get a different job. Will not be going again, we were going to go for an evening meal, we'll spend our money at a different more welcoming pub.

We were a group of 12. Staff were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble, friendly with a very good service. Food was good and plenty of it. Thank you.

The bar staff do not treat tourists the same as the locals, their main aim is to overcharge using very sly tactics. On entering the establishment, we ordered two beers and two halves of lager. On receiving the news that it was £16.60, it was questioned why it was so expensive, around £5.50 a pint. The bar staff checked and replied that they had "accidentally" pressed pints of lager in error. The correct price was charged but someone who works in the establishment on a regular basis would know roughly what the correct price would be. Needless to say, we will not visit this place again.

One of the best B&Bs I've stayed at, nice rooms, great food and really nice genuine staff. I would recommend to anyone and would definitely go back.

Whilst at the pub today the owner asked us to move our pram in the rudest fashion you can imagine, she then said she didn’t care that she had been rude and told us to f**k off. Appalling woman. Terrible place. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
