The Mitre in Harrogate

First time back since Brew York took over - now serve 6 of their cask ales plus various craft options.

An excellent pub with a good range of beers. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

We just had a drink in this pub, nice quiet atmosphere friendly staff, a little bit out of the centre of Knaresborough but within walking distance.

Didn't stay at the hotel, just drinks - but loved it so much that we (deliberately!) missed two trains so we could stay longer. A great range of beers - welcoming, knowledgeable bar staff - friendly locals. Food looked awesome. We will be back!

Stopped by after we got off the train from York for a drink. Really lovely pub, had a really nice chat with the lovely lady there too! Had the most amazing rum there too - Coconut & Tonka Bean which I highly recommend if you love flavoured rums!

Inviting good stop off after walking by the river plus next to train stn

I was delighted when Brew York took over The Mitre earlier this year. It was my "local" in the mid to late 2010s, always with a friendly buzz and loyal regulars - but in recent years it had lost its way, and most of us became regulars elsewhere. In its first few weeks of re-opening, the buzz returned, the pub was busier than it had been in years, and my hopes were high. So, why the 3-star review? After all, the beer is gorgeous, the pub is well kept... and yet that early buzz hasn't been maintained, numbers are down, and most of its trade seems to be coming from visitors, not from locals. That might have worked OK over the summer months, but in order to get through the winter, I think a shift of focus is required (in this regard, the forthcoming changes to the kitchen sound very promising). And here we get to the nub of the problem: no matter how good the beer is, the "hospitality" is almost non-existent. I'm not saying that the staff are rude, but there's no friendly greeting at the bar, beers are served in almost total silence, and the bar staff come across as entirely indifferent. (And just for the record, this is a commonly held view around the town; I've had a lot of conversations about it.) This just won't work in a town like Knaresborough, where friendliness and good conversation are the norm. If The Mitre wants to build up a solid base of regular customers, it MUST engage with them, make them feel welcome, and make far more of an effort to create the sort of good-natured vibe that you'll find in so many other Knaresborough pubs. I still want it to succeed, but I don't think it will succeed until heart and soul are injected into the very bones of the place.

Great location right next to train station

Stayed here many times pre pandemic but this was my first visit since new ownership and refurbished bedrooms. The rooms remain spacious with good bathrooms. They are spotlessly clean, comfortable with everything you need for a night or two. The pub appears not to do food anymore, so we had to eat elsewhere (no hardship) and there’s no breakfast which is a bit inconvenient. Although Knaresborough isn’t short of breakfast options.

Gave The Mitre a visit for lunch after reading about the reopening with new owners. It is situated by Knaresborough railway station off the High Street. The interior has changed, it's very nice and modern but has sadly lost a bit of character. We had the cheese and ham sandwiches that came with delicious fries and salad. I can't remember having a nicer sandwich, they are served on beautiful ciabatta rolls. They have a small hot food selection on the menu with steaks and piri piri chicken etc. We will definitely return.

Love brew York drinks nice place nice outdoors

Lovely pub and really friendly staff Fresh pizzas to order from the outside pizza oven and other food available which was really nice

I can't fault the Brew York mitre at all. I originally went in for a pint whilst I was waiting for the train and the beer was so good, I stayed for lunch. The food is run by Frango's and it was fantastic value for money and really tasty. I had a fish goujon sandwich which came with salad and chips - it was such a big portion I struggled to finish it (even after a 10 mile hike). The Brew york staff were lovely and offered tasters of the variety of beers - all of which were delicious. The venue itself was a nice atmosphere and had the option of the cooler indoors or the outside tables to enjoy the sun. The pub itself is only a short walk from the river front and I was surprised it wasn't as busy as some of the cafes considering the quality. Would definitely visit again.

Great choice of quality beers 🍻

I ate at The Mitre yesterday and at first it seemed quite nice. The food would have been delicious if it hadn't been loaded with so much salt. Everything tasted of salt and I never have salt in my food due to high blood pressure but no one asked if I had any dietary requirements. The place was a bit grubby and they also seemed to be short staffed.

A great selection of beers, which was expected as the pub has recently been taken over by Brew York. The food by Frango's was fantastic and we'll definitely return.

Stopped in for a quick half before our train was due to arrive. With just 20 minutes to spare, we didn't dare risk a full pint. Plenty of craft beers to choose from. We were both left satisfied with our choices and sat outside people watching. The food looked delicious - will have to come back to try!

Just got taken over by Brewyork and have to say they’ve done a great job, their line up gives everyone something to drink, not bad prices either. Looks great!

The Mitre is a smart but simple pub situated next to Knaresborough station. It had a reasonable selection of similar cask beers on, mostly from Roosters. What we liked about it most on one of the hottest days of the year was the fact it was air conditioned. A pleasant enough stop off if you arrive my train.

Redeemed a gift voucher for a 1 nights stay and paid extra to include breakfast. On arrival was told that there is no food served today as it’s New Years Day and was told that breakfast would be served between 8 and 9am the next morning. Arrived downstairs at 8:30am to find apples, cornflakes and 1 yoghurt and no staff. We went back upstairs to find a staff member and was told there was no breakfast as they didn’t have a chef. Very disappointing as we wouldn’t have chose this hotel and certainly wouldn’t have paid extra for breakfast. Nice room but breakfast let it down.

A friendly Inn but offered a continental breakfast that was a complete failure. The rooms are quite expensive so to be greeted by a cold breakfast room, no real coffee - only nescafe - and cold croissants in cellophane packets was just not on. We were given toast but no facilities to warm anything other than toast. Also, despite having a coffee machine in the bar that was also off in the evening at 6.30pm as well as for breakfast. I visit that area regularly to see my family but sadly will not return there.

Fantastic food as always. Service 10/10. Recommended to everyone. Child and pet friendly.

Didn't stay overnight. I just called in for food, which was great and a lovely young man behind the bar who was very welcoming

The Mitre hosted our Wedding celebration in July 2023 and we can't speak more highly of the staff and the service. We were able to rent out the whole pub for the day, work with the head chef to cater a menu and the manager to plan out the day. Nothing was out of reach for the Mitre and their staff, their communication was great, even accommodating last minute requests and changes. The food was delicious, the bar service was excellent and they had more than enough staff to ensure all our guests were happy. We also rented out all the accommodation for out of town guests, the rooms were clean, comfortable and perfect for a short stay. We would highly recommend hosting your next event here.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff and owners are very friendly. Staff can’t do enough for you and prices are very good

Read some old reviews and I have to say since the new owners the place has completely changed. New staff are super freindly and food was great. Definitely recommend.

Service was great aswell as the food. The new owners have changed things for the better, really good atmosphere.

Great bar, very friendly staff.

Visited Knaresborough with friends this weekend and went to the Mitre hoping to get some food and drinks however, upon arrival we were met with an extremely rude waiter with a serious attitude problem. We entered the bar and were all discussing what we were going to have / looking behind the bar at what was on offer (as you usually would). The waiter (who I believe was American) then shouted in my face ‘HELLOOOO’ (which made me jump), to which I replied hello…? he then said, in an extremely rude and aggressive tone ‘THATS AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS HELLO’. None of us even heard him say hello prior to that. We left immediately and went on to a lovely and much nicer pub up the road (the Carriages - would recommend). It was extremely odd behaviour and made us (and the waiter’s colleagues) feel very uncomfortable. Their loss - we would have spent a few hundred ££ on food and drink.

The Mitre is a quirky pub situated opposite the railway station. I wouldn't recommend driving there as parking nearby is a total faff. The beers are top notch and the building is charming as it strides the hilly terrain. Food is available but I can't comment about rooms as my visit there was very brief.

Loads of beers on offer, nice food and friendly service. Good location, if you have time for a pint before catching a train etc

Lovely pub with good selection of ales and food. Right by the station, just up from the beautiful walks along the riverside. Good place to rest half way back up the hill to the town or castle. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, outside seating.

Didn't stay in hotel. A group of friends, we pick a town and check out the pubs, starting with a bite to eat, so the Mitre had the privilege of first blood for us. Lovely building, close to the station, with good food at a fairly reasonable price. Staff were super friendly. Enjoyed it so much we came in for a second before we got our trains home.

Great pub, great beer a real gem of Knaresborough.

Impromptu Sunday dinner, absolutely spot on, try it, you'll not be disappointed 🙂

Great pub and Lovely food. The staff are very accommodating and there is loads of space for prams and to accommodate a larger party

Had a lovely meal service good and staff friendly the bar area and dining area very clean and comfortable.

A great place to wet your whistle after a long train journey

Pleasant beer garden, handily located right by the train station

Lovely modern bar in an older building, right next to Knaresborough Station. Friendly, polite service and good selection of drinks. Clean and smart surroundings. A nice little seating area outside. Dog friendly.

Lovely pub. Great staff and very dog friendly.

Very concerned to see the bat person/manager fawning all over a customer's dogs, letting them lick his face, rubbing them down and generally being quite pathetic. The most worrying aspect however - did he then go and wash his hands before serving customers? Of course not - this is really bad and I shall not be returning here to drink let alone eat

We arrived early, however nothing was a problem to the friendly house keeper that took our bags and sorted a car park space for us. We returned later after a trip to Leeds on the train that drops you off next door to the hotel to be greeted by John and his team who gave us such a warm friendly welcome on a glorious sunny day in the busy hotel bar which had a great atmosphere. Rooms were spotless clean. The next morning the warm friendly greeting continued by the chef that did our large breakfast while making sure we had enough toast, tea and coffee. We only stayed one night but we will return. Friendliness makes such a difference.

A lovely pub with great beer next to the train station or half way uo the hill. Had a really nice burger in the Sunday and a nice pint of ale. Would definitely recommend to anyone after great service great food and great beer.

Bring a flake. Repeatedly served short measured pints on the day of the Knaresborough bed race. Refused to top up when asked. Reasonable beer choices.

Located right next to the station, it's a well turned out, friendly establishment, with indoor and outdoor seating.

When to Knaresborough for day out called in to the pub for a meal. And was the best meal we have had and the service was above and beyond and couldn't fault it . Would go there again if go back to Knaresborough.

Hyggeligt nok. Men maden er bestemt ikke noget at gå efter. Virkelige lav kvalitet. Faktisk vil jeg hellere have en burger fra Burger King. Derudover ventet vi i 45 min. inden maden kom, men det gjorde selvfølgelig at man var nød til at købe en øl mere da første øl var drukket.

Shambolic and chaotic .Avoid at all costs . Booked a meal here to meet up with family. When we arrived they had no record of our booking even though we had a confirmation e mail . No table was set up and they directed us to a dirty table in the corner . Fish and chips were burnt to a crisp and two of the party suffered upset tummies the next day . Burgers were mediocre and tasteless . As others have commented there was nothing even resembling customer service and we had to fetch drinks from the bar and order food . This in itself is not a problem but when even budget options now allow ordering on an app standing at a bar aimlessly waiting for someone to deign to take an order doesn’t cut it these days . Please avoid !….I live in Knaresborough and am hoping this review will prevent an unsuspecting tourist experiencing this disgrace to our town .

I stayed here when I competed at the Northern Shooting Show this month (May 23). When I arrived I was very tiered. John looked after me and went above and beyond in making my stay comfortable and trouble free. The room was spotless with coffee/tea in the room. The food was homely and filling. The only downside was the parking. Unfortunately, the Mitre Inn has no parking on site and this is due to the layout of the town. However, they do rent parking spaces in a near by secure car park. Its a short walk. So park up outside, drop your belongings off and drive to the secure parking. The Mitre Inn is a lovely place to stay and one I would recommend. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

Recently went here on a family day trip to Knaresborough and I was very pleased with the food and service. The Sunday dinner was very nice with lots of choices for meat and veg. The same can definitely be said for the kids pasta which came with a beautiful garlic bread!

What a find. Serves Timothy Taylor too!

Just had evening meal and was ok.

Old fashioned hotel by the railway station. Staff are friendly and food was ok and quite tasty

Where do I start ! Went in at 5pm so I was the only person in the pub. To cut it short there was going to be 7 of us which they knew about in advance No table set up for us so we dragged a table over to the other one which was filthy. We asked for it to be wiped and we were given a damp dirty cloth out of the sink and told to do it ourselves! We all sat down, and no one came over to take our order so we wrote it all down to hand it to them They got that order at 5.25 and our burnt disgusting meals came to us at 6.40 The gammon had been cut in half to serve two and it was incinerated. Very hard and dry couldn’t eat it. The celeriac mash was an old jacket potato scooped out and heat up with some horseradish sauce. The duck ( they only had one portion) was so badly burnt it set their fire alarm off in the kitchen. I paid £13.95 for a meal I couldn’t even it. The pub was full of smelly dogs and one dog refused the gammon! The bar girl was miserable, dirty hands and very scruffy, lazy cos of her size, terrible to look at and talk to. The toilets were absolutely disgusting and very dirty. What a gross sight Can go on but no point. Just don’t there at all Go to Weatherspoons in Knaresborgh town centre and get food for half the price and you can eat it Honestly the worst place I’ve ever eaten at

Troy had a lovely time here, good selection of ales and gins! Bartender was very welcoming 😊

Highly recommended for location and range of food and drink.

We popped in here at lunchtime on the 23rd March. The menu appeared to be an exciting, gastro pub style affair and gave an impression that food was prepared fresh. We decided to have our dinner here. Sadly the food fell far short of what the menu led us to expect. I ordered a honey glazed confit duck, with duck fat roast potatoes, carrots and black cabbage buttered with gravy. The duck had clearly felt the touch of the microwave. There was a hard 'triangle' of something carnalised and burnt on top. This was presumably the glaze that was applied after the removal of the packaging which was then subsequently burnt to a crisp in the microwave. The potatoes had a skin akin to damp cardboard. Whether they had ever been introduced to the duck fat was indeterminable. The carrots were boiled and absolutely fine. Well done! Sadly the cabbage was completely absent but i don't' think this would have saved the dish. One member of staff, a young bearded man, who I believe to be the manager was drinking behind the bar when he thought his colleagues could not see him. Unfortunately the whole bar could! During the 45 minutes we were there, he started with a cheeky shot before downing a beef at impressive speed when his colleague nipped out into the kitchen. The only redeeming part of this experience was the good selection of beers.

Food is always top notch. Rooms are clean and cosy will definitely stopping again. Close to everything Knaresborough has to offer. Staff are friendly.

Ideal for meeting up with family as The Mitre is right by the train station and ideal for a York/Harrogate axis. We went to eat with two, shall we say, vibrant granddaughters and their parents. The food and service were really good, but above that, the staff were really kind and helpful.

Was lovely so convenient for train and very comfortable staff really good .

Had really good pub grub, absolutely delicious and good value. Friendly atmosphere too

Stayed here for one night, great hotel, friendly staff and well positioned within the town. Didn’t have breakfast unfortunately as I was attending the local Parkrun, though when I went down to get a drink the food looked well presented.

Literally 1 minute from the train station, immaculate decor, great staff, a huge array of beers available and made to feel very welcome, highly recommended…

Can't comment on the food as we didn't get that far. Booked a table for Sunday Lunch and I got a phone call a few days before to say they stopped serving at 6pm, the time which we had booked,so did I want to change the time to an earlier time. I changed it to 4 30pm. We arrived, found a table and went to order. We were then told that as there was 2 large tables to be served it would be an hour to wait. I saw that no one on any of the tables were eating yet so decided to leave. We were disappointed but fortunately found another restaurant and were served within 10 mins and it was delicious.

In a great location next to the station, the food was delicious and the staff were polite and gave great service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for well made pub food in Knaresborough.

Drinks out as local people. Haven't been here for a while and now I know why. Staff do not speak to you while taking your order or payment or even taking empty glasses off the table. Rude and uninviting.

Here now ordered 2 meals an hr ago only to be told it will be another half hr. The place is not busy, so far they have served 8 starters to 1 table. They are so short of staff they can't serve, there was 2...

Stopped for a bite. Lovely location and nice to sit outside on a sunny day. Staff can't be faulted for attitude, really friendly and polite. Food was lovely. The iberian burger was a treat. Only downside was 45 min wait for food from ordering and...

First day in Knaresborough and visited The Mitre as it’s dog friendly with a good selection of ales and served food. The blackboard outside stated food served from 12-8 pm. The main reason was food so when we arrived at 5:45 we were told food...

Had we known how difficult it was to park anywhere near The Mitre, opposite the railway station, we wouldn't have tried to go there but we are so glad we did since the beer was great, food delicious and the young lady behind the bar...

Im sat writing this review in The Mitre looking over the picture postcard railway station and cobbled streets having eaten a wonderful 'home cooked' sunday roast dinner. The service has been fantastic, the staff super froendly and as I said the food fantastic.

Had lunch here today, the staff were all so polite, friendly and helpful (explaining the menu and drinks options) it really made for a happy visit.

Absolutely appalling service from start to finish which was only 5 minutes as we booked a table but was then told it was a 45 minute wait. No member of staff came to the table to tell us that we had to go to the...

Quick drink whilst waiting for a taxi, very impressed with the cleanliness of the place and friendly bar staff

Great location close to the train station the food was lovely and served fairly quick, also great customer service following up to see if you wanted more drinks will deffo return!

Long wait for drinks then even longer wait for food. Ordered Ceasar salad, came without Parmesan . The ‘hot’ food was cold. Very poor service, will definitely not return.

We recently enjoyed a steak and ale pie with chips for dinner It was lovely although if I am being honest the slice of pie was just a little small (however I am greedy) the veg and gravy with the pie were really tasty and...

Great food, a varied selection on cask ales, friendly team and most importantly COVID safe! It’s great to be back in the Mitre with its welcoming team. We will definitely visit again.

Booked a table for the Eat Out To Help Out scheme. Arrived with the family only to find the pub had not reopened since lock down. WHY TAKE THE BOOKING? ONCE THE BOOKING WAS TAKEN - WHY NOT EMAIL TO ADVISE US OF THE ISSUE?...

Popular pub with a good selection of ales and local drinks . It’s also a dog friendly pub with a warm atmosphere.

Thank you to the Chefs and kitchen staff tonight for exceptional food, this evening we had starters amazing but the fillet of beef and monkfish were sensational followed with cheese and biscuits - amazing bar staff also on tonight all happy and so well mannered - Wishing you all a happy new year !!!

Visited on a Sunday for a late lunch after a long walk. Good food selection on the menu something for everyone but when ordered at the bar was told they had run out of chicken (at 3pm) and no mushy peas left. This was disappointing for a pub that serves food 12-8pm. Very little atmosphere and a lack of attention to detail (salt and pepper were completely empty). The prices were steep for the portions. The small fish and chips was more what I would expect for a child's menu. Definitely not worth the £9.95. service was slow but those working were friendly, the food itself was fine, but for the prices I would have expected something more. Has all the making of a great pub as location and look is good.

Came here for Sunday lunch with family who were visiting for the weekend. The beers were excellent with a great choice of light and dark beers that are well kept. We have had roast dinners from here before that were not great but today the veg was fresh and varied, excellent yorkies and roasties. We would definitely recommend.

I agree with other reviewers. The selection and quality of beers and gin selection is very good to excellent. The food is one step up from poor cafe food. Basic selection on the menu choice with an effort at good presentation. We didn't have to wait long, but a couple we met earlier in the day had waited over an hour and had to reorder. Overall disappointing. One good meal and one poor over 2 days. Different staff each night. Very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous pub / restaurant! Absolutely SUPERB! range of keg and cask beers.. Fabulous food from great Chef Stuart and his team... NOW! With the latest addition to the team we have a delightful new Manager.. Sophie! More strength to The Mitre!

A group of 11 of us arrived after a long walk along the river. They had a good gin selection and a few tasty beer options. The waiter kindly moved a couple of tables so we could sit together. The waitress was polite, helpful and took our food order - checking that it was correct before she left. So far so good.She soon returned confirming that the vegetarian options selcted were not available, they ordered alternatives.Almost an hour later, the food started to arrive. The delay surprised us as there were few tables occupied (although to be fair, there was a private party downstairs).Two of the food orders were completely wrong and the vegetarians had to wait an additional 25 minutes as they had been given chicken burgers in error. 3 people had sea bass nicoise, none of them had any green beans as advertised and the portion sizes were wildly different.In summary, I would be reluctant to gamble on eating at the Mitre. Decent beer.

We (me, hubby and 6 yr old) arrived tonight(Wednesday) at 7.30pm following a recommendation from a local as we are not from the area as we are on holiday. My husband was rather pleased with the selection of beers and I had a lovely wine. The decor and feel of the pub is lovely and we were welcomed by a lovely copper table and candle and a young bar man who was very pleasant and provided us some recommendations of where to eat in the area, he is here at college and is not local himself. If only he had told us not to eat here!! The food took over an hour to arrive, we ordered a burger (which there was nothing wrong with) and I ordered fish and chips, we ordered garlic bread for our little boy as he’s a small eater and tends to pick off our plates. Well Iv never seen a stale piece of dry bread being served like that, at the price of £3.50 (it looked like under buttered toast) and the fish was over fried and soddened in fat and the fish inside had disintegrated away. The chips are awful, certainly not the type you would expect to be served with fish and chips and they were soggy and the fat from the fish had socked down onto them. Safe to say we finished our drinks (hubby ate his burger) complained (we didn’t pay for fish or garlic bread) and left.We ended up getting Chinese from the recommended takeaway the barman had said was good earlier!It was more disappointing to spend £30 and not eat as a family and to then have to spend more and eat late. All in all a bit of a rubbish first evening of our holiday and a let down from the Mitre.

Visited here on way to the spa with my friend , for my birthday. We had the small plates- oh my word.... not much small about them.... the pies were to die for and everything about the meal was just lovely. Great staff and nice wine. See you again soon.

Upon arriving we found a nice pub and were looking forward to a nice Sunday lunch after a brisk walk! We ordered 2 Sunday lunches a sandwich and soup. The sandwich and soup were fine nothing special and once the wrong bread issue was sorted was average food. The Sunday lunches arrived... hiding underneath the Yorkshire pudding was a teaspoon of mash, 3 very tiny carrots and 2 exceptionally small pieces of broccoli. The cauliflower cheese was hard and cold and the gravy resembled dirty tap water. I looked around at was appeared to be regular locals and noticed one couple had finished their meals and still had more left than what I had started with. I complained and expressed it wasn't even big enough to count as a child portion nevermind an adults one. The memeber of staff was not concerned and said would tell the chef that was it. It's clear if you aren't a local your not welcomed or treated the same. Avoid at all costs!

Big portions of lovely pub grub. Service was slow as there was a big group in but it was worth the wait. No room for pudding! Would go again if we were in Knaresborough.

very limited menu and for a friday lunch only one staff to do everything.The steak pie was nice but the fish and chips were poor.with limited parking this is one place we will not be returning.

Walked into the pub at 22:50 to see the barmaid pulling points for customers satisfaction down. The barmaid said they were closed and when questioned said the customers had paid on and advised us that there was a wetherspoons up the road. I get that the customers may have been staying at the b&b;, I also get that staff want to get home, but serving us wouldn't have made any difference given that the customers the had felt pulled pints. I also get that pubs do lock ins, but if you are going to, take the hint from the title and lock the door. Thanks for recommending wetherspoons, probably did us a favour. I try to support local independent pubs, but this is the reason they are closing at the rate they are

My wife and myself along with another couple of friends have just stayed here for the third time. Last year, 2017 we couldn't get in and had to find alternative accommodation, but we came in the evening for dinner. The restaurant is so good, and they must have the best and most varied list of beers in Yorkshire. Breakfast in the morning is pure joy. Lesley is great fun with her friendly banter, and Stuart works wonders in the kitchen. I'd come back here again and again.

The Mitre is so close to Knaresborough Railway Station that you could almost wait for your train there!

Visited with the wife and dog on a Sunday evening and ordered the carver which was one of the nicest we have ever had. We returned on the Monday evening and chose of the venue and again the food was excellent. The restaurant is next to the train station and looks really nice in the evening all lit up.

Booked for 8 adults and a toddler for sunday lunch . put in room at rear which was ok pleasent with ok views . until we realised dogs allowed in that area and several turned up !! was not impressed ! ! food was OK nothing special beef very chewey and meal not presented well looked as if thrown on plate . could have had same in weatherspoons for half the price !! sorry do not like giving negitive reviews maybe chef having off day . give it a try dont think we will return sorry . ps we are not tourists just moved to area

Visited on a Sunday, waited for 50 min for our sandwiches - and when they arrived, they were not very pleasant. My fish butty was just a chunk of fish, cut in half, put in a toast. No garnish, no dressing. The chips were soggy, as if they were from a microwave. Not worth the money.

We had a wait in Knaresborough for our next train back to Harrogate and noticed this pub right at this station! Great time to stop for a cask ale while we waited. The funniest thing was watching people enjoying their drink or food, then running out of the pub to try to catch their train!!! Will stop for a drink the next time we are in Knaresborough.

That steak pie is a dream, nice chips too and washed down by some local real ale, how could you not love it. It's a nightmare to park on Station Rd but if you're able bodied it's not a problem.
