Always a gorgeous breakfast at the Dining Room. I had my favourite bacon and egg bap and my wife had the full English. The weekend isn’t the weekend without a visit 😋👍

I am familiar with the Dining Room having lived in the area all my life and I’m aware of all the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. I was therefore looking forward to it when my wife and I visited on a Sunday morning. Okay, we both had only a bacon sandwich so it’s probably a bit unfair to judge the whole experience on this but I have to say I was a little underwhelmed and disappointed. There was no choice of bread (would have been nice if we had been offered white/brown/wholemeal, sliced or roll etc). What we got was a plain white roll with some bacon in it that was hard and chewy. I had a latte which was nice. My wife asked for a latte made with oat milk which they were unable to do. Prices are at the top end for which I would have expected better. The full English breakfasts that we saw being served looked very good so perhaps we made the wrong choice. Clearly they are doing something right from all the excellent reviews so I’m sorry to leave a slightly negative review but I can only give an honest opinion of our experience.

Haven’t been to the Dining Room since it became a day time cafe . Peered through the window for ages as I thought it had changed hands . Then we saw Lisa who has run the place with her husband (and chef ) for years . We are so glad we spotted her and came in ! Lunch was exceptionally good . Lovely service as well. The soup and homemade bread were gorgeous ( half a loaf ! ) , the smoked salmon sandwich was excellent - you know it will be good when it’s served with a garnish of samphire ! As for the dessert!! Salted caramel cheese was to die for . We remember fond times when they ran the hospitality side of a high end boutique hotel in the Lakes . A long time ago but lunch reminded me that they still have what it takes ! Thank you .

Went here for a late lunch and was immediately impressed by the service. Hugh greeted us as we entered with a “Good Afternoon” and a smile, promptly showed us to a table and gave us menus and explained the “Specials” of the day. The menu was varied and catered for all tastes. I opted for the burger which was locally sourced from the butchers next door. Making use of local is big on my list. Everything is cooked to order yet the wait wasn’t long at all. When the food arrived it was presented very well and made the mouth water in anticipation of the meal that followed. We met Lisa (owner) who said “Hello” and asked if everything is ok. It was perfect. Overall a very satisfying experience. Excellent service and excellent food. Thank you Lisa and Hugh.

We visited last week and was looking forward to a selection of cakes to go with our coffee. However when we arrived there was only a selection of chocolate brownie and Victoria sponge. I don’t like buttercream but ordering anyway and it was fabulous. The sponge was light and tasty and it looked spectacular. We will visit again but would be happier if they were open in the evening. Lovely surroundings.

Stumbled on this lovely place whilst out for the day with my mum (sprightly 90 year old) Food top notch and service just right. Doesn’t look much from the outside but inside is calm light and plenty of space and super clean. Goats cheese tart and dressed salad - perfect !!

Found this lovely place by virtue of a local encouraging us in as at first glance we thought it was a formal dining establishment. We were welcomed by a very attentive waitress and enjoyed a homemade fruit scone with cream and jam accompanied by a generous pot of tea and a coffee. The main menu looked good and we will certainly visit again if we are in the area.

We decided to have lunch here during a very cold, blustery, wet but partially sunny day! Outside seating only at the moment due to Covid rules, but it’s a comfortable enclosed terrace, with access to an indoor toilet. Very warm welcome, and started with a very large pot of tea, served with hot water without having to ask. Then homemade mushroom soup, coronation chicken sandwich, skinny fries, followed by chocolate brownie and fruitcake with cheese. All were well made and delicious, although I personally found the fruit cake the least ‘presented’ and a tad dry. But it’s a minor point made only because everything else was so good. We would definitely go again and would recommend it. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

We had sandwiches (came with crisps and a tub of salad), brownies and coffee to take away which were out of this world. They were really delicious. I highly recommend. I telephoned the order through and it was ready and waiting for me. No queuing. Coffee made when I arrived so hot. Lisa and Chris are great. Chatty and friendly and always have a smile to welcome you. The cakes are a particular favourite; especially the brownies and carrot cake ☺️.

We just love the dining room and the warm, welcoming environment that Lisa and Chris have created. The food is delicious and it’s genuinely the best cheese and pickle sandwich in the world. The drinks menu is extensive enough to cover all tastes. The indoor is lovely and the garden is beautiful and is still open (when dry!) Best venue, hands down and is operating in a Covid safe manner.

My friend and I visited for lunch and we sat outside in the stunning garden and terrace. It was lovely and private and blankets were provided when it got chilly! We chose from the terrace menu which included tempura prawns and fish cakes, which were both wonderfully presented and delicious. We were served great coffee too.

So pleased to be able to visit the Dining Room over recent weeks as it has opened during the day. It has a beautiful patio style garden with potted plants and secluded seating all well distanced at the rear. It works amazingly well and it’s just a delight to sit in the garden. The whole experience is produced by the owners who have such an eye for detail and everything is perfect. The menu and food is of the same high standard and very reasonable priced for the great quality and generous serving. Beautiful soup, generous sandwiches with salads and crisps , great salads and hot selections with a brilliant sweet and cake menu. We had a glass of Prosecco last visit. It’s taken lunches in Boroughbridge to another level !

We came to the Dining Room to celebrate and we are so glad we did! We sat outside in their private terraced garden, it feels like you’re on holiday in Tuscany, not a busy little market town in rural North Yorkshire. The best fish cakes I’ve ever had with spinach and a delicious sauce. Crispiest french fries and beautifully chilled white wine. It’s dog friendly and little Gino enjoyed keeping an eye on the other guests. Can’t wait to go back again soon!

Booked a courtyard table for our sons 18th Birthday late breakfast brunch. Staff were great in allowing us to drop the balloons off beforehand. Social distancing was very well managed. Tables well spaced. Very clean and the garden was full of colour. Nice and peaceful. Dogs were welcome and fresh water was provided for them. The menu was varied and between the 6 of us we opted for the bacon butties, roast salmon, smoked salmon, chips and lots of soft drinks and coffee. The food was excellent. Beautifully presented, good sized portions and reasonably priced. Service was also excellent. At no time did we feel rushed and nothing was too much trouble.All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours. Have booked to go again already.

Alfresco dining at its best. Our first venture to the ‘new experience’ Dining Room Boroughbridge. Chris & Lisa have done a great job making the best of a difficult situation. Their flexibility and imagination is creditable. Dining outside in the UK is always risky but providing you make sensible personal preparations The Dining Room Does the rest The food was to the usual high standard as was the personal service. Thank you and well done! Ps There are other bonuses too, eg bacon sandwich breakfasts!

Upon arrival we had a lovely table in the window and great canapés of Brie and tomato. The food was amazing including the home made bread. Roast beef dinner was faultless and a special small one for a little person. To top it all, a home made brownie birthday cake which was simply stunning. The service was excellent.

We landed unexpectedly at The Dining Room as part of a spontaneous visit to North Yorkshire. The restaurant was quiet, which meant we had a lively intimate experience. Our hosts were welcoming and friendly without being overbearing. After a gin upstairs in the bar (20 varieties on offer) with delicate Camembert tartlets, we enjoyed a relaxed and scrumptious meal: sour dough, soup (pea and leek; French onion with rarebit), goat’s cheese tart, sea trout (both with super fresh asparagus), champagne jelly with sorbet, petit fours and earl grey, and a bottle of Chenin Blanc. The food was well presented, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. With three courses, tea, gin and wine the total cost was around 100£ for the two of us.

We had a drink in the upstairs lounge which has a lovely feel to it. We had a delicious cheese and onion quiche canapé to accompany our drinks which were fantastic by the way. Such a lovely welcome too. We then went downstairs to the restaurant and were not disappointed. We had the 2 different soups which were amazing. So tasty and the home made sour dough was perfect.

This is one of the best restaurants in the Harrogate area. Pre dinner or lunch drinks with canapes in the bar lounge upstairs provides a relaxing ambiance before going downstairs to the restaurant. This is a family business run by Lisa and Chris (Chef) who provide a warm welcome and excellent service throughout. The menu choice is vey good and you start the meal with wonderful warm home made bread (be careful not to eat too much of the bread). We have been a number of times in the evening and for Sunday lunch. The food has always been first class with an impressive selection available. Takes some beating!

Had a wonderful time Chris & Lisa thank for a delicious meal, very impressed by the revamp to the outside looks very stilish. One of our favourite places for a night out be it on our own or with family and friends, great atmosphere, fab food and great service, if you’ve near been you must give it a try.

So glad we tried this place when visiting the area camping. We originally found it through the Michelin guide app. Food was really nice and didn’t disappoint. Lovely piece of steak very well cooked with tasty home made chunky fries. Staff very friendly. There is a really nice bar area upstairs to take in a pre dinner drink. We liked it that much we stuck around for an after dinner drink too. Recommended for high quality food for a fair price, will visit again when next in the area.

What a lovely experience. A beautiful evening so we had drinks in the garden area,a lovely start to the evening. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The tasty little tartlet with drinks was a delight. We then moved into the restaurant and ate and the food was delicious. After we'd eaten we went for a night cap in the upstairs lounge. It was a wonderful evening in delightful surroundings. Well done to everyone at the Dining room!!!

The two best meals I have ever had now turn out to be Wombles Restaurant in Park Town Johannesburg and The Dining Room at Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire.

Reviewed it before and it never disappoints. The chef also owns it and it shows in the care and skill. Smoked salmon with potato salad followed by roast beef with Yorkshire pud, every item perfect the beef tender and full of flavour. The wine list is comprehensive and well priced, Chianti today, not had it for years and had forgotten how nice it can be. Service was charming and very erricient. Comfortable place that doesn't crowd the tables. Very, very good.

A lovely restaurant- hospitable owners and so professional. The lounge area is a great spot in which to relax and the terrace is added value. A great selection of gins - my favourite Monkey 47 but numerous other quality guns plus a rather nice gin menu too.

Just arrived back from the most fabulous meal I've had in a long time. I started with the oak smoked salmon fillet with dressed leaves and asparagus while my partner had the fennel and parsley soup. We both followed with the beef steak which must have been an inch and a half thick and beautifully succulent. The upstairs bar is wonderfully comfortably furnished and I can just imagine being there with a roaring fire on a winter afternoon. The restaurant is run by Lisa and Chis, a delightful couple who have been here for 18 years. Nice touch was petit fours served with the excellent coffee (haven't been given those, even in good hotels). The old adage applies - you get what you pay for and 'The Dining Room' delivers. We shall definitely come back.

This is a local restaurant we regularly use and one which deserves to be full at every sitting. The first time we have enjoyed an Easter Sunday lunch- an attractive table complete with mini eggs and Lindt Bunnies. The starters were delicious - prawn cocktail was A1 as was the Loch Fyne Salmon.The fillet of roast beef was as good as you could ever wish for (We have eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants and none could improve on the quality or cooking of this beef - and none could match the fair price charged for a splendid 3 course lunch £26 95) Puds excellent and coffee and brownies a fitting end to a delightful meal. Will we return? Of course and so should many others. This is a hidden gem that needs to be discovered by many more people.

Spent a wonderful evening here. The upstairs seating area provides the perfect setting for pre dinner drinks and a place to chat in real comfort, and also for after dinner coffee. The staff were friendly and attentive and we all enjoyed are meals. The food was well cooked and arrived in a timely fashion and tasted delicious. The wine list was very good and the Gin menu was brilliant ! It was good value for money and i highly recommend this restaurant.

Had a really enjoyable evening at The Dining Room and can confirm that the food is great and the ambience delightful. The upstairs lounge is wonderful and a great place to relax after a meal. Definitely worth a visit.

We are regular visitors to this great establishment and always enjoy the fine dining and excellent service. It is our first port of call with any excuse for a celebration! Lisa and Chris our hosts, always bring a smile to our faces and their excellent staff members are very attentive and great ambassadors for The Dining Room. I would especially like to mention 'Pippa' who sadly has now moved on to pastures new in Austria. We wish her well.

Do go for the excellent Christmas menu - £21 95 for 2 courses or £24 95 for 3! Pre dinner canapés and delicious homemade bread served with the starters.At this price and quality, this restaurant deserves to be full every night!

Be aware this ‘pub’ does not allow dogs and we were told so in a rude and offhand way by the person at the bar. This is not mentioned on the website. Shame.

Real ales, quality lager and an open fire, what more could you want. Visited after a long walk and it was perfect.

Quirky is certainly an apt name, both for the decor and layout as well as the surprising choice to serve Caribbean and Italian food. We visited for dinner (a new service) which is available currently only on Friday and Saturday. Opening for evening service is a good shout. We shared the Arancini as an appetiser, followed by Shrimp pasta for Elizabeth whilst I chose the Antiguan stew. My food look so appealing that Elizabeth had tried 3 spoons full before I had released my spoon from its napkin!! It was delicious. The pasta was ok, looked better on the plate than it tasted but that’s a minor grumble. Owner spent lots of time with us - made a humourous error with the wine for which he was shocked but we laughed - and he has that way with him as do most Italians. Perfectly charming. Reasonable pricing, good recommendations and even the chef came to see us. It’s great to see a fun place such as this and we will certainly visit again on our next trip to Harrogate.

A welcome cup of tea coupled with the food of your choice from a lovely menu, and served with a smile, what more could you want?
