The Station Hotel in Harrogate

What a lovely find during our first few nights away since last August. Incredibly welcoming staff showed us to a spacious table in their stunning beer garden and made a fuss of our dog too. We had an amazing burger and a fish finger sandwich, both surpassed our expectations. The quality was top notch, super delicious bread and the breaded cheese on the Veggie burger.... well I'm not sure it could ever be beaten, utterly delicious. Thank you so much x

Amazing meal as always. The chefs are so talented and the ingredients are so fresh. We've never had a bad meal here. The waiting staff are really nice and friendly, great service.

Nice outdoor seating area. Food came quickly and had a really nice waitress attending to us. Was a few things from the menu that had sold out but the food we did go for was delicious. My partner went for the Sunday roast which he said was lovely and the Yorkshire pudding was huge! I went for a burger which was amazing. Overall great place and would go again.

I came across the station hotel as we were visiting Harrogate but wanted to eat further out away from the bustle. We sat outside which was well covered and also had heaters if they were needed (thankfully they weren't) My hubbie went for the burger which he said was really tasty the rest of us had the roast chicken dinner which was delicious my only criticism, would be it was served luke warm, as a slow eater this i need my food hot however, it was quickly rectified with great service, the sticky toffee pudding and brownie desert served with Yorkshire vanilla ice-cream was exceptional. I would highly recommend the Station and will go back next time we visit the area but would ask the chef to ensure he make lunch extra hot for us.

Decided to try again after having a bad meal a week previous… Served one of us our main then fifteen minutes later we got the other two main meals mixed grills was burnt and scabby won’t be eating here in future… wasn’t busy so this time there wasn’t an excuse other than the chef isn’t any good at all

Been here a few times throughout the year and just discovered it by chance. We went again today in the rain to celebrate my birthday. My other half wasn't happy with how cooked his steak was and sent it back, a new one was brought and a complimentary drink was offered as well. They're so so nice and would do anything for you. We'll definitely be back yet again, not iust for the food but for the really great service as well. Also, the food is excellent

First trip away to a lovely location, Hampsthwaite, nr Harrogate, Knaresborough and The Station Hotel in Birstwith. Our first meal out (outside of course, but under a permanent wooden gazebo, with heaters). The staff are lovely, and took care of all the necessary registration of our visit and made us feel comfortable. To start I had the Chicken Parfait which was delicious, and Mike had the Sticky Chilli Beef, which he thoroughly enjoyed, for mains I had the East Coast Fish Pie, which was loaded with fish, topped with creamy mash and a crisp topping of cheese, with Mike enjoying Traditional Fish & Chips, which even a week later, he is saying was the best he had had in a very long time, and that’s not because of lockdown, as we’ve a few excellent Chippy’s near us! Well, even though very satisfied, we had to go for a dessert, to good an opportunity to miss! For me Charred Nectarine, which was nectarine purée, pistachio cake, and either sour cream or raspberry sorbet, I opted for the cream, it was light and delicious, Mike’s choice was Caramelized Pear Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce, and Vanilla Icecream, he’s not a dessert eater normally, but said it was fab! We also had a lovely bottle of whit wine, which was lovely and cold, and at same price we would pay for a decent bottle anywhere. We feel that the prices are fair, the food is really good, the staff are efficient and friendly, and the place is lovely, and we will definitely go back when able, to see the inside of this what looks to be an quite old and imposing pub. We thoroughly recommend it to anyone, so take a look at the menu and give yourselves a treat and visit the very beautiful area around Harrogate, you’ll be glad that you did.

About a 15-minute drive from Harrogate, this restaurant-bar catered well for outside diners, in a heated pavilion with blankets provided. (Covid restrictions of April 2021).The starters we had were great - chilli beef with veg, and spiced pork spring rolls.Mains were ale-battered haddock, chips & mushy peas, and pork steak with gravy, spring greens & pork breaded dumplings.The fish and chips were excellent, as were the chunky chips and home-cooked mushy peas and tartare sauce. The pork was nicely cooked and the novel dumplings a success too.Service was warm and friendly and the selection of ales and wines extensive, if expensive... But by Harrogate prices, this was reasonable.We finished off the evening with coffee and a magnificent sticky toffee pudding (with caramelized pear and butterscotch sauce) and a scoop of Yorkshire vanilla ice cream.Yum.

The whole experience of booking, arriving and eating here was excellent, there is a lovely area with heaters at the back of the hotel, all COVID restrictions are adhered to and it was a very safe feeling environment. The service was great and the food was super, we both had the fish pie which was gorgeous then I had a pear sticky toffee pudding and Himself had a brownie both were fantastic. We would definitely eat here again if we were in the area again.

We’re from Burnley however my boyfriend was working in Harrogate on a small job so I had a look for somewhere we could get something to eat. I stumbled upon the station hotel due to its great reviews on here and it didn’t disappoint at all. We sat in the beautiful sunshine and enjoyed our food greatly! I went for the burger and my boyfriend went for BLT. Delicious tasty pub grub and would highly recommend.

Great staff, great food. Have really looked after us in the village whilst times have been difficult. Thank you.

A lovely pub and hotel with very friendly staff, great service, excellent food and a good choice of beers. They’ve also been doing wonderful takeaways during lockdown. A lovely garden for outdoor drinking and eating - ideal as restrictions are eased in these Covid troubled times.

A fantastic pub serving excellent food. Great staff and first class covid safe measures in place. Well done!

Thankyou for serving the village and surrounding areas with such excellent food while we can't come and eat in. Such an array and fantastic quality food to choose from. Well done all concerned.

I have to say the Station Hotel has produced excellent food during the lockdown with their very well organised takeaway service The pizzas have been as good as you’ll get anywhere in the Harrogate area, their Fish and Chips are second to none.. fantastic.

The Station has delivered a great take away service through lockdown. We have enjoyed many meals and especially like the fish and chips.

Whilst looking forward to getting back to eating out, The Station have been providing fantastic takeaways during lockdown. The Sunday lunches in particular are amazing and highly recommended.

We can highly recommend The Station Hotel. Over lock down as a family we have had a number of their takeaways. Fish & Chips, Pizza, Fish Pie and Burgers, all have been excellent, beautifully cooked, very tasty and generous portions. As locals we have had many lovely meals at the Station and look forward to them reopening.

We visited the station in October on Halloween due to the outdoor space being available. The menu was varied as we had a vegetarian in our party of 4. He was well catered for. Is meat eaters also found the menu excellent in particular the scotch egg for starter. Unfortunately the news was delivered that night of a second lockdown yet despite that, staff still carried on smiling and provided us with the best service. Couldn’t fault a thing.

Can't recommend highly enough, the pork Sunday lunch was delicious. Well cooked and presented. Every mouthful a delight!

The staff at the Station have been absolutely brilliant for the period of lockdown. To keep us all well fed with their brilliant selection of take-a-ways and the excellent quantity and quality has been greatly appreciated my many of the villagers and neighbouring villagers. We can’t wait for the fantastic pub/restaurant to open again.

A really nice pub though, sometimes, the food can be too salty or too buttery. Until today, we'd not been for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, our Sunday roast fell short of excellent as, temperature-wise, it was not much above lukewarm. On the plus side: Covid precautions very good.

We have had Sunday lunch at the Station Hotel three times in the last month and each time it has been exceptionally good. From the efficient booking call to the very high standard of Covid safety arrangements (far better than we have seen anywhere else), to the prompt and friendly service, to the really outstanding quality of the food, everything we have experienced here has been extraordinarily good.The food is beautifully presented, superbly cooked and served in portions so generous we have not yet been able to even contemplate trying the desserts.We've visited on our own, with another couple and recommended other friends to dine here. All have had the same comments about the service and food.You deserve every possible success - thank you!

We have just moved to the village in the last few weeks. Have been here for drinks on a few occasions now with friends and family & it’s been excellent. Well organised with COVID restrictions and clear. Just had a take away this evening for my birthday- my husband phoned and ordered and within 30 mins we had such a lovely takeaway. Great food, professionally presented and good service. These guys are clearly thinking about how to make it work in the current situation which can’t be easy and we have been super impressed so far! Happy to call this pub/hotel our new local

Staying in the area to catch up friends, having moved away a few years ago, we booked for a meal. Food was superb, service exemplary and the atmosphere lovely. Absolutely lovely, wish we had something half this good where we currently live.

Booked for lunch as we were having a shopping trip to Harrogate, it was a chance booking as most town centre places were booked up however what a great choice the food here was fantastic. Our party chose fish pie, fish & chips and steak an ale pie and chips. All dishes were served piping hot and nicely presented. The fish pie was full of lovely chunks of fish and my steak and ale pie was the best I’ve ever had, absolutely top class lovely big pieces of steak that was so tender and a lovely rich gravy, top class. Unfortunately we were too full for desserts but we will definitely book again. The pub is in lovely countryside and it’s a nice short drive from Harrogate. Nice warm and welcoming, well worth a visit and nice friendly staff.

Dinner at restaurant and we both had great food and drinks. Covid safe and good service Would visit agin and thoroughly recommended

The food was excellent - good portions of freshly prepared roast beef with plenty of veg. Prices were fair and the service was quick and the staff were well trained. The Covid measures were very thorough - remember to take a mask as you will need it when walking through the restaurant.Well done!

We were looking to eat somewhere different to our usual eating haunts. My husband came across this Pub Restaurant / Hotel. Set in a lovely Village. I rang to make a booking, they explained about procedure around Covid which is also well explained on their Website. Quite an impressive building. Lots of Handsanitisers doted around, Covid safe which I was impressed with as it was our first meal out since my Shielding.This is a lovely quaint village Pub. We had a lovely warm welcome from the Owner, staff, felt quite at home for a first visit!What can I say about the food, delicious, amazing. My husband opted for the Soup of the day, Pea and mint with a dash of lemon, came with generous portion of bread, I opted for the Veggie Summer salad. Both were faultless. We both opted for the Burgers, I had the Halloumi both were devoured! As it was a celebrity lunch date we went the whole hog and ordered dessert. I ordered the Sticky Toffee pudding and hubs ordered their own homemade icecream, both plates cleaned! All the desserts on the Menu sound delish!If you are a Gin drinker like me try the Slingsby Orange Marmalade, fabulous!We had fabulous service from the Staff I cant fault them. If youve not been here to eat then what are you waiting for get it booked! We will definitely be returning, thank you!

Food was of an exceptional quality for a very reasonable price. Service times were quick and staff were attentive. The ale was well kept and tasted very nice. Highly recommended and will certainly return.

We were staying in Harrogate for the weekend and had booked an early tea at a local restaurant. After viewing the recent hygiene inspection we decided not to go. We did our research and found The Station Hotel. We contacted then at 17:45 and were advised that as long as we arrived before 18:30 we would be guaranteed a table. We were greeted at the door By A gentleman who explained that due to covid we would be expected to wear a mask when walking around but could remove it once seated. My husband has a mask exemption card on a lanyard and they were very understanding of this. We were informed that they were running on a reduced menu. We were pleasantly surprised when we were handed a menu which was identical to the one on their website. My husband chose the steak pie with chunky chips and I have complex food allergies so ordered two prawn and crayfish cocktails without sauce and without butter on the bread. Our food arrived promptly and definitely did not disappoint. The pie looked and tasted home made. Lashings of quality prime cuts of steak in a rich gravt6encased on a homemade short crust shell accompanied by the best mushy peas this side of the pennines and home made chunky chips. The prawns and crayfish were plentiful and came beautifully presented in large shells with lettuce and watercress garnish. We were Informed that the bread was made at a local artisan bakery and was scrumptious. They even brought a separate ramekin with butter in case my husband wanted to try some too. The bill came to £27.10 including a pot of tea and a pint of lemonade. We felt this was excellent value for money. Everyone was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The booking system appears to work well as although people seemed to be coming in this was a steady process. Tables were cleaned rapidly and even though we were sitting right next to the bar we felt comfortable and relaxed. Next time we visit this part of the world we will make sure we come back. Their buisness card states that they have rooms to book so will look.into that also. A great little gem in on the outskirts of Harrogate. Just wish we'd found it sooner.

Food of a very high standard, prawn and crayfish cocktail followed by seabass and my husband had the mixed seafood dish. We couldn’t resist the creme brûlée and it didn’t disappoint- one of the best we’ve ever had. Staff were very professional and polite and, although we were lucky enough to eat outside as it was a lovely and warm summer’s evening, the staff wore face masks at all times and hand gel was readily available. We felt safe and well looked after in what can be scary times and if in the area again would definitely return.

Booked for Sunday lunch & felt very safe due to the covid precautions that are in place. Adam & the team were very helpful explaining everything and after a short wait our food arrived and was delicious.Highly recommended & will turn if in the area.

From the moment we arrived we felt completely safe with excellent Covid-19 safeguards in place and spotlessly clean. This didn't in any way detract from a lovely Sunday Lunch and post lunch drinks in the beer garden. Adam and his team offered clear guidlines and excellent service. Our first visit to The Station but we would certainly return if in the area. Well done the Station Hotel.

We ate here this lunchtime. Pleasant, friendly staff, polite and enquiring but not intrusive. All staff wearing masks. Excellent COVID protection toilet entrance system. I had the roast Beef lunch, I have to say it was the best Sunday lunch I have ever had, maybe it was the good quality Malbec I washed it down with! My husband had the fish and chips and he says it was cooked to perfection. We will definitely eat at The Station again. P.S. tasty fishcakes for starter!

We went for a 3 mile walk along the river in this idyllic village followed by lunch at The Station Hotel. We sat outside but under cover. The food was very good, I had a tasty fish pie. My husband had, as he put it,': probably the best steak and ale pie ever '(and that's from a man that knows his pies)! I had a bitter orange tart that was very delectable. We have been out a few times in this weird time of Covid 19, so it can make you feel a tad wary. This place has it spot on. We both felt very safe: we signed in, the staff all had masks, etc but it wasn't intrusive. Staff were friendly and professional. This restaurant is taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, runs Mon-Wed in Aug 2020, 50% off per person up to £10 each off so we got £20 off the bill. We will definitely be coming back here-it was a lovely day out in a beautiful part of England.

Visited in the first Monday they were re-open. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were friendly. The only slight issue was they hadn’t anticipated the demand (it was the first night of the help to eat out) do by the time we arrived at our booked time the kitchen was already struggling so we had to wait a fair while for our mains. The staff were apologetic though. We would visit again though as the food was excellent.

The guidelines The Station Hotel have for Covid-19 are fantastic, the most safe I have felt visiting a restaurant or pub since the restart of businesses. The service was quick and attentive, the food arriving quickly and of a good standard. All round good experience and would definitely return if in the area.

Service and food amazing. Great service from first entering to the table service of food through to paying. Felt safe throughout under current circumstances. Food well presented and very tasty. We will be back when next up on holiday. Keep up the great work

The food was just ok. The service was just ok. It was all just ok. This wasn't a relaxed post COVID meal like in other restaurants we have been to....It felt like a meal in the middle of a pandemic and I guess the sign of a good restaurant is to make it happen without anyone noticing. I could not recommend this place.

This place is awful. We dined there on A Saturday night despite being told we could eat in doors. We had two children with us and we were the only party outside. The owner went completely crazy as the children were not sat down even though we were the only people sat outside and he complained as he had to wipe some tables down due to Covid. His staff were embarrassed for him. Horrific customer service, bland average food, dreadful atmosphere. If you want a good meal and night out then please AVOID this place

My partner and I went to the Station Hotel for Sunday lunch yesterday with her parents. Despite the 'new normal' of Covid-19 rules and regulations, we received a warm welcome from the friendly, attentive staff, who were all 'masked up'.We had pre-booked our meal and on arrival, we were met by the maître d' who confirmed our details. Hand sanitiser was provided and we were taken to our table in the restaurant. Because of social distancing, the cutlery, napkins and condiments etc. were placed on the table and we set our own places - the waitress politely explained all of this to us. The food and drinks menus are printed on A4 sheets, so each table receives a 'fresh' copy which can be disposed afterwards. You need to wear a face mask or covering (e.g. a scarf) when walking through the pub or restaurant areas but can remove these at your table.We ordered three roast beef and one roast pork - the consensus was that everyone's meal was very, very good . They also offer roast chicken and I think there’s a veggie option available too, but as a committed carnivore I cannot vouch for this. Each meal was served with roast and mashed potatoes, an individual Yorkshire pudding, a selection of fresh, steamed vegetables and gravy - everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. We also opted for cauliflower cheese as a side dish, which was delicious too.Because of social distancing, the cutlery, napkins and condiments etc. were placed on the table and we set our own places - the waitress politely explained all of this to us. The food and drinks menus are printed on A4 sheets, so each table receives a 'fresh' copy which can be disposed afterwards.The Station offers a comprehensive drinks menu - as you would expect from a good country pub - and I can attest that the draught Guinness is exceptional and a real treat after more than 100 days of 'lockdown'!!The main courses were generous but I think that it's always sensible to leave some space for pudding, which we did... We rounded off the meal with delicious desserts, which comprised Eton Mess for the In-Laws, which seemed to go down very well with both of them, a Sticky Toffee Pudding for my girlfriend (always a winner, and this did not disappoint), while I chose a selection of three home-made ice creams (Madagascan Vanilla, Roasted Strawberry, Chocolate and Sea Salt) served with cinder toffee, crushed meringue and a biscuit crumb, which was fantastic.All in all, we had a very enjoyable lunch and I heartily recommend this place.

Please Please avoid dining in this pub. 8 of us went for a meal and we put outside on a chilly evening - even when the inside was empty. We asked for the outside heaters to be put on and we were told “No”The owner then came out and was extremely rude to us because the children were not sat down even though we were the only people outside. Food was average at best. Had to wait an age. He spoke to us extremely rudely and we will NEVER go back to this place. So So rude. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Just had a fantastic Roast Beef Sunday Lunch takeaway from the Station. First class food, as good as if we’d been in the pub. Huge portions. Excellent value too. We are very lucky to have The Station as our local pub during this crisis.

Excellent all the way through from the friendly lady taking the order all the way through to four empty plates! Superb take away for 4 of us, the Halloumi burger gets a special mention but all round a delicious meal.

The "Station" has everything a rural village pub should...a large bar where the locals, walkers (plus their dogs) and "stangers passing-by" congregate for drinks, chats, bar snacks & meals with a cosier snug for those who wish for a little privacy, all welcomed by a roaring real fire on colder days. Then there is the old dining-room with another fire set in a classic Victorian tiled surround, which is much favoured by family groups enjoying their meals, beyond which is the totally contrasting modern garden-room looking out onto the immaculate garden and delightful covered 'al-fresco' dining area. The a-la-carte menu is unusually extensive and covers everyone's tastes, the meals are prepared behing the scenes to order by skilled chefs, served generously portioned and nicely presented without undue delay by friendly waiters and, most importantly, at very reasonably prices. Needless to say, my wife and I eat there often. What a blow it was when the Coronavirus lockdown temporariy stopped all such activities"for the duration". But the owner and his ever helpful staff have rallied together and are now serving unbelievably good take-away meals from a wide ranging menu of Breakfasts through Small & Main Meals to Pizzas and Sunday Roasts. Being in the most vulnerable group, we have had meals delivered piping hot in thermal containers twice a week fo the past six including Fish Pies, Steak & Ale Pies, Fish Gougons, Fish & Chips, Sea Bass Fillets, Calves Liver & Onions and three excellent Sunday Roasts which, dare I say it, were every bit as good as those served in the restaurant, They even sell Draught Beers and other popular drinks. Thank you all so much, you make our incarceration bearable. we shall most certainly be back as soon as we feel safe to do so.

We ordered eight take-away meals from this excellent Inn yesterday and were very, very impressed with the standard, quality and organisation here. These were for our neighbours and us and the efficiency of their service is to be commended. Social distancing rules were strictly observed, the meals were ready to collect at the time arranged and all were hot, delicious and very much appreciated. An experience I would thoroughly recommend to anyone - try it, you will not be disappointed. We shall certainly be back for more very soon, they're something to look forward to during this strange time. There is an extensive menu to choose from on the internet, between us we tried five different dishes and all were judged excellent meals, excellent value and top marks to the chef.

Lovely Staff and a great place to have a lovely meal. Also doing take away meals during lockdown which are very popular especially pizza, fish and chips. Look forward to returning when lockdown is over and enjoying some drinks and food. Well done Staff.

Friendly attentive staff. Quality accommodation and food. An essential community resource. Recommended by many friends. At the entry to beautiful Nidderdale

A real treat to have this during lockdown. Excellent meal, well packed and still hot on arrival home. Thank you for making this option available and with all the necessary safety precautions. Will certainly be doing this again, both on Sundays and through the week. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank you for a fantastic pizza...meat feast was delicious. A great and very safe process to collect our meal, thank you so much for all you are doing in the village and further afield!

Had another great takeaway from the Station Friday 3rd Fish gougons and a super pizza. Staff there doing a great job for this rural community community Well done and many thanks

A wonderful opportunity to support this brilliant local restaurant offering a Takeaway Service in these troubled times. Delicious fish platter to share followed by Tagliatelle with Basil & Tomato - great! Very well organised separation to collect. We can’t wait to return - thanks team! X

Excellent takeaway, such a treat for all four of us to choose our favourite dishes. I had a delicious burger, others had the fish pie, four cheese pizza and fish and chips and we were all delighted. Thank you for going out of your way to provide this valuable service to Birstwith.

With all the stuff going on at the minute it was fantastic to support the Station and try a takeaway. Two Station Burgers - delicious. And managed to fill a suitable beer container with 5 pints of Boltmaker to take away. Result.

We have just had the most reaxing break and have being extremely well looked after while staying at the station hotel the food was exceptional daily delicious specials along side different menu choices the most tasty cooked breakfast with lots of choices extensive wine list an extra special mention to helen adam annie jamie emma they really have made our stay very special they are all so friendly and accommodating they really made you feel welcome the room facilities are fantastic we stayed in the ground floor room highly recommended gorgeous large room ample floor space if you require a wheelchair the bathroom was a huge wet room which was fully fitted with lots of grab rails which was perfect for me easy accessibility we will definitely be back again very soon a gem of a place

Fabulous little gem of a find just out of Harrogate area This is in the farming village Birstwith and I recommend it highly

Following a friend’s recommendation called for a midweek evening meal. My ham and leek pie was superb as was my partner’s fish pie. Service was impeccable and the place was clean and immaculate. A little gem of a pub ,well worth a visit, will definitely return. Well done to all the staff!

We have had lunch here on various occasions - ranging from a quick sandwich, through the market menu and also the al a carte. Every time we’ve been struck by the quality of food, the great value for money and particularly the great customer service. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Great choice of beer (according to hubbie) and fabulous choice of wine (me). There’s a lovely outside area (when we get the weather!) and lovely walks in the local area.

Fourth time we have eaten here. On each occasion the food has been top quality and the service top class. Friendly people with a good selection on the menu, wonderful starters, plentiful and varied main courses and lovely desserts together with a wide choice of flavoured locally produced ice creams.

Wonderful meal for our anniversary. Food was gorgeous and all the staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. A truly lovely experience. Highly recommend a visit. We will be back!

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights B&B; (13 & 14th Feb) in the Malbec Room.The room was perfect for our stay and we ate both evenings in the restaurant. The food was superb for both nights (Thursday being Steak Night and Friday was the Valentine Special). Needless to say the Breakfasts in the Morning were equally as good. Emma,Adam and the rest of the staff were perfect hosts and really looked after us, and the Station Hotel is just what we'd hoped for, having not stayed in a Pub/Hotel before we could not have asked for more.

Fabulous food, great menu, value for money specials and a great service. Cannot fault a thing. Will be back very soon.

On mangé un and excellent. Dessert brownies au chocolat avec glace cerise . Serveur accueillant et service de qualité

My wife & I stayed for 2 nights (13 & 14 Feb ) in the Malbec Room. The room was perfect for our stay and we ate both evenings in the restaurant. The food was superb for both nights and the Valentines Special was perfect. Needless to say the breakfasts in the Morning were equally as good. Emma, Adam and the rest of the staff were perfect hosts and really looked after us, and the Staion Hotel is just what we hoped for, having not stayed in a Pub/Hotel before we could not have asked for more.

what an amazing find, such a scenic drive to this wonderful place, the staff are professional and desperate to please. the food is a culinary explosion of fresh produce cooked to perfection. will definately return.

Set in beautiful Nidderdale scenery and a lovely drive to get there. Such professional staff who are keen that one enjoys ones culinary experience. The menu is superb and something for every palate. The conservatory is a lovely place to dine. The outdoor seating would be wonderful in the warm weather so a definite place to revisit in clement weather.

First time trying and it did not disappoint. Amazing food and lovely staff. Will definitely be going back.

Went for a Sunday lunch and the food and choice is excellent, staff VERY professional. It was so good they had axChinese New Year dinner on Friday and we went. We asked for and got a table in the Conservatory and I’d recommend it.

Great venue, lovely staff and atmosphere and top service! As someone with coeliac, it was really refreshing to be able to relax completely as the staff are really clued in with gluten and other intolerances. Thanks you so much for a pleasurable evening and we'll definitely be back!!!!

We came here on a whim for Sunday lunch not knowing if a table would be free as we hadn’t booked. Fortunately for us, we were seated straight away.

Warm and friendly with a good selection of well kept beer. Food was first class and good value for money.

We visited for the first time on 1 January for my wife’s birthday after a lovely trip to the cinema in Harrogate. It was our first time visiting and did so based on the fantastic reviews on TripAdvisor. We were NOT disappointed! Delicious food and very friendly service.

Had a lovely evening meal. Roast potatoes really tasty and well presented food. Friendly staff. Dessert yum.

Came to the station with my friend for a Bite to eat and stayed to enjoy the quiz, the quiz was only a £1 entry and was excellent, although very hard! The food was fantastic, the only reason there wasnt a clean plate was that I simply couldn't eat anymore, I did have enough room for an homemade mince pie and very strong brandy cream! My friend commented on how lovely her crumble was aswell, reasonably priced as was just over £40 for two courses and a drink each! Would definitely recommend.

Our first visit was in early Dec. We had walked to Birstwith from Hampsthwaite and fancied a break. From the outside, The Station didn't look especially welcoming but the moment we stepped through the door we found a great welcome and were soon sat comfortably in front of an open fire, enjoying coffees and looking at menus, already planning our first return visit.

Came here with friends for a lunch and have to say the food was a real mixed bag, the main meals were ok but the sandwiches were inedible with greasy fish goujons and hard under baked bread. Even the chips were solid. Service was miserable too. They kept saying we would have a wait for food but the place was less than half full and we waited 50 minutes. Maybe we caught it between xmas and new year but that’s no real excuse.

Excellent family meal hot,tasty and very filling Helpful and cheerful staff Clean and tidy very professional

Visited this pub 3 times during our stay over Christmas. All staff extremely polite, professional & friendly, our 2 dogs allowed in & fresh water provided. Food top notch, highly recommended. Special thanks to Dan (uncanny resemblance to Peter Serafinowicz). Also the best Wi-Fi password .. ever!!! Thank you, The Lloyds, East Yorkshire.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner during our weekend away. The food was exceptional, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Couldn’t fault this place.

We returned to nearby Harrogate for the second time and booked The Station on -line for Boxing Day dinner. Warm ambiance, friendly and attentive staff and a fabulous menu. Excellent value for money, we will definitely return.

Booked a table first time o visiting as we were attending a function in a nearby village. Nice warm dining room shown to our table and given the menu some lovely choices. Food arrived freshly cooked and hot. Deserts were very nice can recommend the Clementine Brûlée.

We stayed over for a Saturday night and were really impressed. Very warm welcome, extremely comfortable and very tasty pub food. Nice, quiet room which was very spacious. Excellent for an overnight Christmas recharge of batteries.

While visiting family up in t'north we booked a table to celebrate a birthday. There were 4 adults and 2 children under 7yrs. There is a decent range of food on the menu and they were able to vary the choice slightly to cater for young children's picky taste buds. The beer, while waiting for our food was very good and went down all too easily. Our food was outstanding and we all enjoyed every mouth full. Much better than I expected and I can't recommend this place highly enough. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Thank you all for another beautiful meal, excellent ambience and surroundings. We are so lucky to have this facility on our doorstep!

We passed this pub on our way home from Bolton abbey. The food served was surprisingly good and there's only one staff running the entire restaurant and bar. He was very helpful and friendly.

Great place to eat. Looks just like a normal local pub (and is) but then if you go through to the dining area its warm and cosy and very tastefully laid out. Good selection of dishes using local produce. Very polite and helpful staff. I would definitely recommend the Ham Hock Scotch Egg to start as it was fantastic. Overall a very tasty meal and above average service. Highly recommended

Went for Sunday lunch with the family, every dish was delicious with generous portion sizes. Great pub for beer and food with a roaring fire after a big Yorkshire walk. Would highly recommend a visit.

The food was stunning (we had the beef stew) and the service was exemplary. Graham who served us was helpful patient and friendly. The prices were great and the portions were massive. Never been so content! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

We had a table for two on Remembrance Sunday. Very busy restaurant, but the attention to detail was outstanding we felt we was the only two customers there. Fantastic food. Pork and Beef roast followed by a shared cheese board. As we where visiting the local area from the South of England we wanted to tips on the villages to visit nearby within minutes we where presented with a map and many points of interest.

We've now been a few times and enjoyed midweek lunch (excellent) evening meal on a Saturday (fantastic) and Sunday lunch (very good). So we've tried all combinations and rate it highly. I would recommend it greatly.

We visited The Station as a pre-booked party of 24 guests from the Yorkshire Branch of the Grenadier Guards Association, and we were warmly welcomed by all the staff when we arrived after the Remembrance service at nearby Ripley. We were seated in the Conservatory on two long tables.

I had duck pate with mini toastettes and my husband had duck hash cakes for starters. Super delicious! I had a vegetarian risotto for main and hubs had sausage In ale on mash with fresh steamed veg. Both meals superb and more than ample. We had a delicious bottle of red from Australia. The waiter was really friendly but naturally so, not fake friendly. Service was swift and excellent. We hope to return and this time stay with this fantastic hotel. Thankyou!

After a long day visiting the local sites with friends, we stopped in at the Station Hotel for dinner. Despite the cold bite to the air outside, we were welcomed by the warm atmosphere and delicious smells inside. A fine assortment of food and drink awaited us. I had the carvery: succulent pork, potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding...of course...all topped with a creamy gravy. I’m not a ravenous meat eater, but this meal was absolutely scrumptious. My wife had the lamb and it was equally marvelous. Service was impeccable. A fine selection of local English brews accompanied our meal. I’m counting the days until our next visit to Yorkshire Dales and another fine meal at the Station Hotel!

My husband and I, after a long day out and about, on deciding what to do for dinner thought we would try the Station at Birstwith as had heard good reports. We were not disappointed. I had rump steak, just as I like it and my husband had the steak pie. Perfect pastry, and full of steak. All accompaniments were perfect also, a delicious meal all around. The service was excellent, attentive and efficient and the atmosphere of the Station is warm and welcoming. I can hhighly recommend this.

We came across this place in our way back from Harrogate. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the service was excellent and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would recommend and visit again.

We have visited this venue after a country walk on two occasions. The first two years ago with almost 30 people dining and this time with 14. The planning and help with the menus was excellent and food together with service on the day likewise. Thank you.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing the fish pie delicious. Rooms very clean and comfortable, everything about the place was very good and a lovely rural location . Also Breakfast was great

Sunday lunch menu was a dream.We had booked in advance as we wanted a table at a popular time ie 2pm.

Having spent the day shopping in Harrogate, we needed sustenance.
