The Crown Inn in Harrogate

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here today. We were a party of ten plus two dogs, after an initial mix up regarding seating, we enjoyed lovely food and service. The Sunday roasts were plentiful and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and included at least five...

Very disappointing from the moment we walked in I had booked a table for 5 to include a dog but this hadn’t been noted but a young Man soon got us a table in the dog area of the restaurant to be then abruptly told...

The bar manager serving us was very rude. We asked to order some chips (after they told us they were doing food) to get told they're doing a Sunday menu only. A different member of staff offered to put some chips on in the kitchen...

On a recent trip to Pateley Bridge, my family and I discovered this amazing pub / restaurant on the Main Street. From the first time we walked through the door, the landlady & staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming, making us all feel right at...

Six of us arrived for lunch and asked the waitress if they did gluten free and vegan food. We were told they did and were given menus which clearly marked gluten free and vegan dishes. We ordered (from the same waitress) - when our food...

Would not recommend for a number of reasons. Rang ahead a week early, booked a table indoors and mentioned we had a dog, and they said they would reserve a table indoors in the dog friendly area. Of course, when we arrived, our table was...

Good cheap pub fare. Steak pie was really nice, and the menu was exactly what you would expect. Better food is close by, though!

Absolutely disgusting food, I am 68 years old and it was the worst meal I have ever had! The beef was like eating leather,the roast potatoes were rock hard they was not cooked and the vegetables were cold, I did complain and was offered a...

I had the pleasure of staying at The Crown in Pateley Bridge with my daughter and my girlfriend recently. The room had 2 separate bedrooms and a bathroom and we where overwhelmed by the standard. Extra credit for the welcome tray comprising tea, coffee, hot...

Arrived as a party of 9 for a family Sunday lunch. Service was poor as difficult to attract anyone’s attention. Then two of our party’s mains did not arrive and had to wait almost 20 minutes further by which time the others had already finished...

Amazing food and great customer service. We could not believe how good the food was and the portions were huge . We were there on a cycling holiday and all the staff were so friendly and we did not want for anything . They went...

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.

I’ve never been spoken to so rudely in my life. I asked if they had anything gluten free as I have an allergy and the lady who owned it laughed at me and said ‘absolutely not’. We decided not to eat there but bought some...

Early Supper. Home Cooked Food...... But done really well. Good Wine Selection and Local Beers. Dine in the bar or restaurant. Cosy in the Winter with log fires. Drank too much ?? ...,..... Don't worry there is accomodation too. Owner Lyn Gibbon will look after...

We came here on a Monday evening and were amazed how busy it was. The place was buzzing but we were made very welcome. The staff were friendly and accommodating. My husband enjoyed his beer and we had excellent food. We both had steak pie....

Worth booking at a weekend as it gets busy, with a mix between locals and visitors in both the bar and the restaurant, which created a good atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff and great home cooked food and generous portions. The chips are sublime and...

We came here for lunch and on a dull January day, it was everything that you would want. The fire was lit, the staff were really lovely and friendly and other customers there just whiling away a couple of hours. The food was excellent. Enormous...

Having booked into a cottage for a long weekend I booked here for Sunday (New Year) lunch . I had a lovely perfect pint of theakstons, followed by a very tasty and perfectly cooked Sunday roast beef dinner. Excellent yorkie with tasty beef , accompanied...

Hadn’t booked but they managed to find us a table in the restaurant after we’d enjoyed a beer in the bar. Good service. Attentive and friendly. Great home cooked pub grub. Very generous portions. Great value. Very tasty food. Recommend.

We have never been there before, but the welcome was warm and friendly. We found the food to be really well prepared and presented. I had the Steak and Ale pie and was pleasantly surprised by its quality and substance. We are not talking about...

We have eaten here a few times now, and the food is pretty good, however on every single occasion we have had to wait an extreme amount of time for our food to arrive. This includes when there has only been two of us. Our...

We stopped off here as the menu looked amazing. I ordered venison loin, sweet potato purée and seasonal veg. The venison was over cooked, tough and tasteless, the sweet potato purée had transformed into normal mash and the seasonal veg was bland carrots, shrivelled peas...

The chef has changed at this establishment and not for the better. I booked a table in the bar for Sunday lunch on the 18th but when we arrived at 14.30 no tables were available. The member of staff who took my booking failed to...

Stopped by for lunch, and we were seated straight away. The menu was good, and we had no trouble ordering. Food came out in good time, and we were all happy with the food. Beer was good as well.

What a wonderful stay at the Crown! We stayed for a few nights. Our room was spacious, clean and well equipped. We ate in the pub one evening and it was delicious with very good portion sizes. A range of meals were available on the...

Went for sunday lunch beef came dripping in blood politely asked to return it brought a plate out seconds later beef on top of what had been served stone cold and couldnt get knife through it .asked politely for alternative to hear the chef cursing...

Lovely staff and great food. A small but decent selection of cask ales for me to enjoy. We met friends there and sampled the menu. Good hearty food! The breakfast was great too.

Walked in through open door at 8.30 in the evening, with a bar with lots of customers, to be shouted at by an extremely rude women who said they were closed. Not likely to go in again

...but unfortunately it was a bit of a disappointment. It's quite expensive for what it is, the food is average and the service is only so-so. Somehow they managed to make a not that busy service seem quite the opposite. Main courses were only OK,...

Came there just for quick lunch and beer. But didn't expect it will be that nice and tasty!! Ended up with all starters (small lunch... ) and everything was soo nice

Spoke to a local from the village and he said he ate here with his family every week. That’s good enough for me and I wasn’t disappointed. Old pub with traditional yet light and airy decor. Food was delicious. We both ordered fish pie. It...

A cosy and comfortable pub with rooms that serves delicious home cooked food. The staff are just lovely. We stayed for 2 nights in the family room and really enjoyed it .

We stopped at The Crown after a long walk. We wanted a beer and a good lunch and we weren’t disappointed. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming and although there were plenty of people having lunch we easily found a comfortable table. The steak...

We (2 couples) cycled to The Crown Inn in June 22. We stayed in a newly refurbished room that will be advertised via AirBnB. Prior to the visit, we'd had some booking confusion with our friends and had ended up booking a different Crown Hotel...

Out dogging by the river at Pateley Bridge - lovely walk. Tripadvisor said it was shut, but bum information - tsk tsk. Made very welcome with Woody in the snug. Great lunchtime menu, we opted for sandwiches and were rewarded greatly ! Pint of local...

Food was poor . quantity over quality for sure . Huge portions poorly presented . Crown had been recommended to us as gastro pub food . Some way to go for that accolade Def staffing issues on the evening we visited , service suffering and...

We were pre-booked, but they took a while to show us to our table. I had duck chow mein. I was expecting tender bite size pieces of duck, instead it was large pieces (and too much) which were chewy (overcooked?), not pleasant. One of the...

We had a lovely time at this pub, staff are super friendly and the food is something else! We were a party of four and we all had a sublime meal and plan to visit again!

Appalling Sunday lunch experience - we asked for a vegetarian lunch and were served simply a plate of vegetables with no warning at all and were then charged £10 for the few vegetables we were served. Another in the party had the beef option which...

The food, the staff, the beer are always of the highest quality. I have reviewed this establishment a number of times for the good and can only find one of my reviews. It's probably me being a technophobic. This is the place to eat in...

Home cooked food at a high level and very friendly staff, lamb madras curry and the steak pie were extremely tasty, the pie was stacked full of tender beef

What a fantastic place to eat, we called to see if there was a table for 4 on a busy Saturday afternoon, we had forgotten that the Grand National was on and the bar was full with a fabulous atmosphere. They could not have been...

Came here on a weekday evening with the family (3 adults, 1 adult size appetite teenager and dog). We haven’t been before. As we had our pooch with us we were directed to sit in the bar area which was both comfortable and cosy. For...

Just back from having a late Sunday lunch. I arrived at 3ish and despite the pub having had a very busy lunch service, the bar manager was very apologetic explaining that there was only one roast meat left and the steak pie had sold out...

This is a lovely traditional pub on a bustling high street and as such deserves to do well. When we visited on a Monday lunchtime in January it was certainly very busy and whilst this might partly have been due to the fact that many...

We were staying in Summerbridge and popped in for a meal on our last night . It was fabulous we only wished we had found this pub at the beginning of our trip as we had not had much luck on some of the restaurants...

Had a lovely meal here tonight with my mum, she was catered for fantastically as a vegetarian. Big portions . Lovely flavours and really like the effort that goes into the salad on the side , sounds daft but it's such a nice touch and...

Had the Sunday roast here and it was one of the best we’ve had. Great service, lovely atmosphere and really good food. Would highly recommend.

I have been using the Crown for almost 60 years. Todays lunch was the best food i have ever eaten the there.The new management have certainly made a difference. The place has been re-furbished, cosy and clean.Staff friendly.

We called into the Crown for lunch as visiting Pateley Bridge. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by friendly chatty staff and made to feel very welcome. The order was taken and food delivered promptly. The meals were both delicious...

We stayed here, as we were going to the polor express! We stayed in the family room! ( 4 beds ) I could not fault it one bit, the staff couldn't do more for us and the food was amazing! Definitely be back next year!...

Having arrived we checked our table was booked if our table for the evening was booked for 7pm 6 of us to be told whilst landlady was smirking no 4. Our friends had booked for 6 people and they had booked it. We were told...

Just returned from a surprise weekend for my birthday in Pateley Bridge. Had a fantastic 2 night stay at The Crown on the High Street. Was given a warm welcome by friendly staff and shown to our room. The room was warm, cosy and spotlessly...

Went to the Crown for a family birthday lunch, the welcome was warm and friendly, the service was excellent and the food was simply perfect. We all enjoyed the meal and the experience immensely. Thanks for making our visit memorable, we will be back :-)

Had an excellent meal. Food quality more than just pub grub. Staff friendly and welcoming. Ambience of the old world pub was great. Definitely a return visit. Would recommend.

Turned up late on Friday night, young male manager very welcoming. Warm and clean rooms. Forgot to ask what time breakfast was, so went down at 9.15....OMG.....while eating my scrambled egg on toast, the landlady(mother of male manager) came in, in a foul mood and...

A great evening out- welcoming staff; friendly and professional. Good free wifi, lots of space for people to sit/ stand without being crowded. half a beer/ 3 double G&T/ large red wine & 2 massive steak & ale pies with veg [just right] and great...

A warm welcome, light and airy restaurant area. A lot of choice on the menu and specials board. The staff really very good and interacted well with the customers. The game pie and steak pie were both large poitions and stacked with meat in home...

Warm welcome. Seated in the restaurant area. Drinks and food ordered. Quick service. The steak pie was huge! Very good portion sizes and very filling! Matt's famous cheesecake lived up to its name!!

6 of us called in here for a meal. What a friendly welcome we all got. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Can’t recommend this place enough, everything about it staff, place and the friendliest staff we have ever been served by. Well done

Stayed here for one night. It was beautiful. The room was huge and beautifully presented. We didn't eat here on the evening as they were fully booked however the manager did say if we wanted to she would fit us in. The breakfast was lovely...

We visited The Crown Inn twice last week and could not fault the place, the food was amazing, the manager was so friendly and helpful, will definitely go back again next time we are in the area.

Booked a table for a family gathering and the manager and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a choice of meals from the menu or the specials for the evening and the helpings were huge.

Had a beautiful meal here on Saturday night. Can't fault it. Chef, you did a great job. However, there was a man, who must work in the kitchen, walking about in what looked like black shorts or boxers, wearing a chef jacket. (Not very hygienic)...

Four of us stayed for four nights B&B while walking in Nidderdale. We weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived, but ended up having an extremely enjoyable stay. Lynne and Matt are great hosts and couldn't have done more for us, from making gluten...

Spotless, well equipped rooms and good gastro pub food. Would definitely recommend . Stayed as part of a walking holiday

Very poor and rude service. No last call and while watching the end of the final of the US open, the staff turned the TV off abruptly with no warning or communication at all. Extremely rude and we definitely won’t be returning

Booked in today for Sunday lunch,really wished we hadn’t bothered,Vegetables we’re very undercooked and beans hadn’t even been trimmed.Very disappointing all round and won’t be returning .Staff we’re okay

No warm welcome for either us or any of the people who came in after us. Given a 20 minute wait for food which stretched to about 45 mins and we only ordered sandwiches. Hardly any brie in the bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich and...

Sunday lunch was appalling! Very limited menu, unappealing looking food, finished our drinks and we walked out. If you like your gastro pub avoid this place like the plague.

Great pub, proper home made and home cooked food and generous portions, great homely friendly service. Dog friendly too. Thank you.

Food was lovely and tasty. Good value. Waitress was pleasant and polite. Portions large. Would recommend as an independent pub.

Very good menu and decent specials board. Waiting staff good and helpful, but the overall service was poor. Kitchen seriously delayed and it wasn’t even busy. Waited 45 mins for starters to arrive and they came without half the items listed on the menu and...

My family and I ate here early July for an evening meal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the beer is good and the food was excellent. I wouldn't call it a gastro pub as that conjures up certain images re types of food but...

My friend and I had lunch at The Crown today. It was delicious. We visit local pubs & restaurants every week and try different menus, but this was quite the best for a long time. The staff were charming, and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly....

We're here for the Ultra Challenge so dont know the area at all. We love 'pub grub' but this totally exceeded our expectation. The duck was done beautifully and when I said to the waitress I love pavlova for desert the chef gave me the...

Good food at reasonable price. Friendly, helpful staff. Service was a little slow but just gave more time to enjoy a pint!😀

Decided to try here for dinner as we were staying in Pateley Bridge with the pub only a stones throw away! Welcoming staff whom gave us a table for 6pm they said it was fully booked after 7pm. The food was fantastic we ordered the...

We stayed for two nights with breakfast ,and also ate here in the evenings, we were on a walking break. Really friendly welcome, Lynn couldn't have done more for us and went out of her way to ensure we had all we needed. Rooms were...

We booked a family meal, from start the lovely bar staff, to the ladies that had taken our food order nothing was too much trouble, the food was amazing from cooking vegan food, to tomahawk steak…. Absolutely fantastic! Matt and Lynn, the amazing land Lord...

Wow, what a transformation since Lynne and Matt took over! Two of the most friendly and welcoming people I have ever met. The pub itself has had an amazing refurb and you can tell how much work has gone into the place to be ready...

Just returned home after a visit with friends for Sunday Lunch. What can I say about our experience. Well first and foremost was the warm welcome we got from all staff. The bar and restaurant area had a lovely atmosphere and a light and airy...

Friday night steak night not to be missed . The steak was cooked to perfection and so succulent great quality from the local butcher . Great fresh vegetables supplied locally . The brandy and rosemary sauce was to die for . 1st class food and...

My friend and I were walking the Nidderale Way last week and had been booked into a hotel in Pateley bridge. we stayed the first night and walked to Ripley. The following day we walked back from Ripley in horrendous rain. Arriving soaked to the...

Myself, my wife and two friends recently had lunch at the Crown Inn. We had the pigeon, salmon and two steak pies. All of the meals were delicious with plenty of fresh, tasty vegetables. The chips tasted like real chips, which is something most establishments...
