The Gardener’s Arms in Harrogate - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stayed at Bilton Park caravan site short walk to this Lovely old pub, if you like Sam Smith's beers cheap night out.

Went there for a couple of beers. Delicious! The service was great; good sense of humour

Nice little pub on the outskirts of Bilton. Close to the Beryl Burton cycleway. Lovely to sit in the beer garden when the weather is nice and thereis plentyofseating. . Actual pub is small inside. Lots of regular patrons who can dominate certain seating areas. Bar staff lovely. No food served but great drinks on tap.

Very nice old fashioned pub good service worth a visit if your in the area

Nice garden, nice crisps, Sam Smiths is Sam Smiths.. My cider was much better than any Strongbow rubbish.

My sort of pub. Great old interior. Huge outside grassed area with a stream running along the edge. Lovely location. Good pint of handpulled Sam Smiths. Nice lady behind the bar. Good stopping off point on a walk from Harrogate to Knaresborough.

Good beer, nice gardens. Do not expect food it is not allowed in Sam Smith's pubs.

Traditional village pub atmosphere, no food served just crisps and nuts. Great atmosphere with everyone chatting away.

No food no dogs no children no mobile phones allowed inside - typical Sam smiths pub - beer ok

Great beer at good price. Friendly staff and locals

The building is charming and the staff are very good. You're not allowed to check your messages on the pub, as it's "antisocial, "so I quietly read my book instead.

I knew this pub for over 40 years ago and haven't been for at least 20 years. It hasn't changed it's still as good as it always has. Friendly landlady. Great pint of Sam Smith for only £3.20 and a lovely dog friendly beer garden to enjoy your pint with your dog after a walk

It's a proper pub, bar just big enough for one person, proper lounge, natural stone decor, it's like a time walk, walk through the door and get transported back to the 1930s and the better for it. Lovely garden. What a fantastic find while I was walking the dogs.

I know Sam Smiths pubs have a traditional reputation, but no thanks, not for me. Glass.i tried it but won't be back. The beer wasn't that great either!!

Nice little country pub ideal for a stopover in the Nidd Valley area. Great beer garden for all, dogs, kids etc. Pub rooms with authentic atmosphere great. Can see where “some” townies and city folk may feel u comfortable… their choice! The locals were friendly and chatty 👍

Nice little "old school" pub , perfect for a reward drink after the Nidd Gorge walk 👍 😁

Very charming, very old country pub we called in while out walking. Inside the pub is tiny with a few different rooms going off at different angles with a fireplace. The toilets are on the outside of the building. Clean and well maintained.

Lovely pub, stopped for a drink halfway round a walk and the pint really hit the spot. Highly recommended!

Friendly pub Digital ban so conversation encouraged and locals very friendly. Great beer at a great price...

Delicious beer in a nice natural atmosphere.

A sign clearly marked on the doorway entrance stating "no dogs, no children, no phones" , can't understand why as there is no soft furnishings in the pub, we had a drink (we were the only ones in the pub). considering this pub is close to a campsite with campers who quite often have dogs , children and maybe wanting to research of things to do / routes in the area on their phones over a pint then it's totally missing out on being busy. cirtainly lost out on £20-£40 worth of drinks from us on the Saturday because of this ☹️

Love popping in the beer garden here on a sunny tea time when visiting family locally

Brilliant Sam Smiths pub cheap good value drinks friendly land lady and staff. Building full of history very old worldy with a great big beer garden. Worth a visit! 😊

Nice country pub, Sam Smiths beer certainly hits the spot, so did the low door frame! Be careful going into the bar around the back, the door frame is really low, no signage either warning you, so be careful! Otherwise lovely 😍

After ride drinks. Great pub and friendly atmosphere 😁

I got a lovely warm welcome at this pub, now they take cards it’s a good option for a post-walk drink with the dog. It’s a really quaint old building with an interesting bar/hatch area. Sam Smiths pub. If you’re a fan of signs asking you not to do things, you’re in for a treat, there are signs everywhere about kids, dogs, phones, glasses, rules, which do detract somewhat from what could be a really welcoming experience. Get rid of some of these and you’re onto a winner.

Lovely Sam Smith's pub. Beer as great as ever and am a big supporter of no mobile phones. It's far better than you imagine and us as refreshing as the Taddy Lager!

Great garden. We only had drinks there. Lots of dog walkers, kids friendly, great stop for a drink when walking/biking.

Great locals pub with a good ale selection. Friendly staff. Dogs allowed outside in beer garden but not inside.

Didn't have any food as we only popped in for a pint. Very friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Dogs aren't allowed in the pub but are allowed in the beer garden. We have two beagles so I'm glad the weather was good when we visited. If they had been allowed inside we would probably have ordered food but hey ho.

Very small bar, kids have to stay outside no food served and use of digital item such as a phone or tablet is not allowed. Unless its used to purchase a drink.

Worth a visit Cheap beer Sam smiths served well. Remember Don't use your phone in the pub

Great pint , lovely friendly pub. .loved it

Only dog friendly outside, which was disappointing as my partner said it was lovely inside and a nice pint.

Good beer at very reasonable prices. Very friendly service and good atmosphere

Typical Sam Smith pub, great beer garden.

Great pub always visit when in Harrogate

One great little treasure's of North Yorkshire

Stopped at this nice tucked away pub on a walk between Harrogate and Knaresborough no Aires and Grace's just good old fashioned Samuel Smiths ales well worth a visit with a massive outdoor drinking area for family, walkers and cyclists throughly recommend stopping for a pint

Lovely traditional pub serving excellent beers and no food!

Just what a rural pub used to be... except it is! No food, one ale, and limited selection of Sam Smith's bottle range- but keeps the beer tickers away. Did I mention it's a Samuel Smith's pub?

Very traditional pub with good selection of drinks and beers. Friendly staff.

Very friendly people in this place as it should be

Odlično pivo, i jako lijepo mjesto za provod👍

Enjoyed the nice beer and lovely surroundings sitting in the garden area. Quieter than normal but really enjoyed relaxin g by the stream. We'll kept beer.

Good pint near the end of a lovely walk

Nice little pub. With nice outside area which you can take dogs.which is nice when staying on campsite just up road would go back next time .

A real country pub...we sat out in the garden....very popular

Great pub! Nice ale and lovely beer garden 🍺

Was out for a nice long was this morning and found this hidden im in the beer garden injoying a nice coffee i will be back in the future!!

Traditional Sam Smiths pub, so no phones , card payments or music- which makes it not everyones cup of tea, but I loved it having drunk in several Sam smith's pubs before. Made to feel very welcome by landlord and locals, good beers at cheap prices and a lovely beer garden.

This is a traditional pub experience except for the passive aggressive notes everywhere! We counted 7 in one room! Why not say, welcome we discourage phone use, have a nice day! Instead it feels like, if you're not a regular you should not be here. Not a warm welcome to new patrons regardless of rules. Will change hands within 5 years I bet. Drinks selection is poor.

Srvef straight away and chill In the beer garden

Great beer garden and pure organic is a lovely pint

Sam Smiths : cash only. Lovely old pub..no nonsense...huge beer garden, friendly staff

Top service here. Bar guy recommend a nice beer and filled my water bottle up with ice before adding water! Sam Smiths pub so very cheap prices.

Lovely welcome, good drinks and coffee and good pub garden. HOWEVER, it should be noted they are not currently doing any food....

What a cracking old style pub. We found this while out walking in the area and called in as it wouldnt be right not to. A very nice pint served by a very friendly landlord and a very nice clean tidy garden. We will definatly call again when in the area next time.

What a gem, Full of character and a fantastic beer garden, Would love to see it on a dark night with the fires lit, Friendly landlady. Remember cash only.

Unreconstructed Sam Smith's pub with several tiny dark bars which must be very atmospheric in winter with open fires. In summer an enormous beer garden comes into play. The pub is situated in a green oasis of trees with a stream running around it. The setting is bizarre, near the end of a long road that passes through a modern housing estate. First time you go you think your satnav has made a mistake.

Brilliant place 1/2 way round our walk

Lovely Sam smiths pub on beryl burton cycleway. Old stone building with large garden and seating out front. Friendly locals and landlord. Lots of character. Sam smiths pub so cash only, no swearing or use of phones. Highly recommended 🍻

This is what a pub should be, a place to enjoy a bit of chat and a pint of great beer. No juke boxes, mobile phones or trendy gastro food. What's more it's reasonably priced you don't feel like your being ripped off at all, great friendly landlord who sticks to his principles, doesn't take cards either, cash only long may it continue

Good beer garden . Small bar but very friendly.

Pure Brew heaven worth the walk!

Nice walk from Knaresbrough. Really old pub with nice garden. Helpful bar staff.....Old school, cash only!

Lovely place for a pint and not too expensive.

Lovely beer garden, Pity Mr Humphrey doesn't allow music, sports TV, , or mobile phones on his premises!!

Wonderful, out of the way pub - loved it. No food but great beer and friendly staff. We will return!

This is a great little pub with prices to match. The beer garden is fabulous ona summer afternoon. It is cash only, however, so come prepared as there is not a cash machine for miles.

Great country pub but cash only

Lovely people. Proper local pub. Will defiantly be coming back.

Proper down to earth pub serving a cracking pint.

We called in here for a drink whilst staying on the nearby Bilton campsite. It was nice and cosy inside with open fires and very nice ale, outside is a huge beer garden but was far too cold outside on our visit. Although the pub is cosy, friendly, nice ale and so close to the campsite, please note food is not currently being served but I was told that it may be considered at a later time.

Only does cash and no dogs allowed inside. Looks to have good outdoor space for summer

Old fashioned comfortable friendly pub

Went to have a beer and discovered it’s cash only. Must lose loads of trade this way.

Miserable day cracking pub , very good bitter , roaring fire , a better spot to drink beer you could not wish for.

Lovely pub, great outdoor space perfectly located for walkers. Shame they don't take card as we've forgotten cash once or twice and made other arrangements. Other then that can't fault it. Great homemade bar snacks and good local beer.

Gorgeous little pub. Lovely big beer garden, Sam Smith's beer and crisps in a 50 g bag! What more can you want.

Outstanding great little place i love it

Would’ve stopped, they don’t take card which given the pandemic is very bizarre

Lovely country pub. Great prices...samuel smith always are 🍻. Best beef crisps ever tasted . Lovely large beer garden. Love the interior.... so old fashioned, almost a museum.

Lovely beer garden and friends dogs loved the little stream ....Samuel smiths organic lager went down a treat ...good job we were in the caravan nearby 😁☺

Came across this pub on our walk. Beautiful garden to sit in with very friendly staff and lovely beer. Would recommend this pub as a great stop over. Well done team

Excellent value pub in a lovely setting with a great beer garden. Definitely worth a visit.on a sunny day. My only qualm was that they didn't take cards which might make them the only business in the UK so make sure you take cash with you if you're going. Beer is Sam Smiths from Tadcaster and about £3.50 a pint which I think is really cheap by today's standards.

Sam Smiths pub. Nice beer garden

Lovely beer garden and a paradise for dog lovers

Absolutely ideal place 👌for drinking 🍸outdoors.

Nice local place, very cozy but also slightly overpriced.

Lovely local especially when good weather . Good landlady and perfect after a walk

Lovely pint of Stout, friendly staff, nice beer garden to sit in, will definitely be back again.

Best Beer Garden in Harrogate. TONS of outside seating, friendly staff, cold drinks and good snacks. Great stop off on a walk around Harrogate trails. Heads up Sam Smiths rules apply!

A lovely country pub with a large beer garden, but only a mile or so from central Harrogate. Just follow Bilton Road from Skipton Road & the Inn is on your left. Very scenic & quiet location close to walks to the River Nidd. Being a Sam Smith's Inn it is excellent value.

Great beer, great service. If you want a pint in a great setting, go here.

En,route as I write.Good Pub. BUT.Brilliant,beer.

One of the best beer gardens in the World. It was my birthday yesterday and enjoyed some of Sam's taddy lager. John Smiths is disgrace to the name.

Table service only, but there wasn't anyone working the tables

Wonderful people, always made welcome, cash only, cards not accepted.

Locals pub with others welcome too! Popular on a Sunday lunchtime - queues to enter garden at 12, but plenty of room for all. Large sunny garden. Dog friendly. No food, but crisps, nuts etc available. Covid rules adhered to. Efficient friendly landlord.
