The Restaurant at Newby Hall in Harrogate - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We recently had coffee and cake, followed by a light lunch a few hours later at Newby Hall restaurant - there was an excellent choice on offer, for both the mid morning break, and the lunch, and we very much enjoyed what we had - the only small thing that we felt needed attention, was that none of the staff clearing tables, cleared away the crumbs etc, or wiped the tables down, and the crumbs that were on the table mid morning, were still there at lunch time!

Fantastic day out at Newby Hall. Stunning house with knowledgeable tour guides and oh so beautiful gardens (look out for the Cornus trees). Also there was a Teddy Bear Exhibition, which was delightful. There is a play area for youngsters, an opportunity for boat and mini train rides too. Pricey entrance fee but really worth every pound. Afterwards we went to the restaurant for a late ish lunch. Wonderful to have a Gluten Free choice for a meal and cakes. Really tasty fresh food made on site and reasonably priced. Not forgetting the church (Christ the Consoler) as you enter the estate. Visit this first because the exit route from the estate takes you out a different way. The stained glass in this C19th church is vibrant and original. Lovely to see it so well kept, like the whole estate.

A clean restaurant with lots of room inside and out. Pleasant young staff. We had a mixture of sandwiches and quiche and salad. All were good portions and fresh. No problems, will go again I’m sure.

We had strawberry frangipane tart with our coffee and it was the nicest dessert we have had in a long time.

We were really disappointed with our visit to the cafe (advertised as a restaurant but really a cafe). We both ordered home-made salad and quiche, but whilst the quiche was excellent we were really disappointed with the salad, which just comprised coleslaw and bagged salad leaves; where was the tomato and cucumber etc and when did salad just comprise coleslaw and bagged salad leaf? In my book that is just salad garish and should be advertised as such. We were left hungry so then ordered cake each (mine being chocolate and my wife coffee cake) but I couldn’t finish mine as it was so dry. Overall all silly mistakes and a big let down.

A good sized cafe with plenty of seating inside and outside where some is also under cover. Nice views and toilets adjoining. Only a short distance from the Dolls House display. We enjoyed our cake and coffee.

Had expected an improvement with lockdown restrictions easing. Still a one way system in place. Scones were quite nice but not that cheap. Still using plastic cutlery and paper plates and only a paper cup of tea.

Very average, no glasses, plastic cutlery, had to ask for both, scone was lovely but I had to ask for my clotted cream to be changed as it looked off, it was clean and girl clearing tables was lovely and helpful.

The Restaurant at Newby Hall stands out among cafes and dining spots at stately homes or National Trust sites. The salads are imaginative and fresh. It was nice to have more than one gluten-free cake offering. Otherwise, menu choices for a diner with celiac disease were quite limited. Indoor and outdoor seating offers welcome options for visitors tired after walking the gardens. Staff is efficient but not very friendly.

We both had the home made soup with a Baguette. They were delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient and the place had a good atmosphere.

We visited Newby Hall, a beautiful and interesting place, and enjoyed food at the restaurant. It is attractively situated in the gardens, with nice views and good seating indoors and out. The food was good and reasonably priced and the service was fine.

I had a decent late lunch here after a visit to the hall and a walk around the grounds. There is both inside and outside seating

We enjoyed the food but t was very busy and queued for quite sometime. We ate outside in the lovely garden. Quite expensive I thought but good quality

Visiting Newby hall we stopped in for a drink and a cheese scone freshly made served with cream cheese and a pot of tea all very good.

Just wanted a midday snack. Plenty to chose , scones and cakes, with good range of drinks. Plenty of seating inside and out, to suit tastes and the weather!

We have eaten here twice and the food was enjoyable as was the cake we had the fish pie and salad the first visit and it delicious the second visit we had a jacket potato with cheese also the cakes are delicious staff were friendly and service was excellent.

I have always looked forward to lunch at the cafe in Newby Hall, but yesterday was very disappointed. In previous years I had ordered prawns with jacket potato, but this is now off the menu. I had coronation chicken which was hard and tasteless, you couldn't even taste the curry powder. The dish is served on bowls now instead of proper plates, and they seem to be rather stingy with the amount of salad provided. Furthermore, when I went to order drinks, the milk ordered with the coffee was lukewarm and the cup for the tea was dirty. It really wasn't up to the usual standard at all.

This is more a self service cafe than restaurant but it’s actually not bad and there’s plenty of choice and prices are reasonable. There’s no table menus and so it’s a bit of a chore to read the boards above counter area. We had cream teas and it was good to get a jug of hot water to refill the pot (just as well as the tea was on the strong side). Staff were cheerful and tables quickly cleared/cleaned and plenty of seating inside or out. Kids packs good value @ £5 for 5 items. If you just want a drink/snack/ice cream then you might be better off at the miniature railway ticket stand just round the corner.

Food served is good -but- watch out for cut-off times for hot food,it,s not there for long! Poor selection of sandwiches in afternoon.Friendly staff.

I had homemade pie, followed by homemade cake :-) It did not disappoint whatsoever. The kids have lots of good options including a build your own lunchpack which my boys all loved doing & got exactly wha tthey wanted. The options for the lunch packs was much better than I have seen in other places. Water fountain providing providing fresh water, everything was catered for very well!

Self service cafe always produces excellent food, with a choice of hot meals at lunch time. However, some families may find it a little pricy.

The gardens at Newby Hall have always been one of our favourite places, but you can now add The Restaurant at Newby as well.
