The Wellington Inn in Harrogate

Perfect over night stay. Friendly staff. Very clean room and the food was outstanding. We had a beautiful view. Large fluffy towels. Good selection of wine. Beautiful breakfast. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Lovely meal at the Wellington Inn last night. Good choice of specials, reasonably priced and good sized portions. Lovely views from a welcoming, clean restaurant. So nice to visit a place where the staff are happy and efficient and everybody seems to care about about the customer's experience. Have visited so many pubs recently where everyone seems to have lost the will to work, so this was a refreshing change. Well done and keep up the good work.

A warmly lit, welcoming dining room on a poor drizzly evening. Service was smiley, friendly & efficient. Food just lovely with a blackboard full of ‘specials’, evidently this changes regularly and has many seasonal dishes included. Gluten free diet well catered for which was a real plus. We enjoyed mussels in a great liquor and Hoi sin belly pork salad, beautifully tender lamb rump, fish pie, a delightful & generous cheeseboard with 2 cheeses (less than £6), and a seasonal apple & mixed berry crumble with custard. Lots of menu ingredients are sourced locally. Decent wine & beer choices, the blush rose perfect with the lamb. A nice buzz in the place, really enjoyed it.

Went to the Wellington pub for our anniversary lunch today. We haven’t been in ages and it’s under new ownership. It was absolutely fantastic from the moment we arrived. Fabulous staff and warm friendly atmosphere. The food was fantastic and the choice unbelievable. Amazing value for money and quality second to none. Thanks so much we will be back soon!

Called in for a bite to eat after visiting Brimham Rocks Great food reasonable prices Good selection of Drinks

I couldn't rate rooms as I went the the pub with my adopted mum and my fiancée, the food was amazing, great atmosphere, the staff just leave you to eat without disturbing you until you finish, that is important, and means a lot as then we don't feel rushed, the outside view is just amazing to, inside and out very clean and tidy, will recommend and go again.

Great food, very friendly staff. Nicely kept beers.

A pub deserves a shout out when you turn up after the kitchen has closed but get offered food, anyway. Not the full menu, of course, but plenty to choose from and desserts afterwards. Super friendly staff and a warm welcome. The fishcakes with hollandaise and pea shoots were delicious. Thank you

Charming place with beautiful terraces and gardens and good landscapes. Well attended and charming staff. Very good food and the right price.

We would definitely recommend booking room 7 , a Pretty room with a huge balcony , lovely views and really comfy seating . Our vegetarian breakfast was spot on , dining room and breakfast staff lovely .We ate in the bar area in the evening , food was fantastic, quality , tasty ,( halloumi burger was huge! ) and presented well. All staff we had contact with including the ladies cleaning the rooms were all friendly and helpful , what a nice team ! We enjoyed our stay so much we booked the following night too! This is a lovely place to stay and we would most definitely return . Many thanks

We were staying close by overnight before Christmas. We were recommended The Wellington Inn as somewhere to eat at lunchtime. We arrived at 1pm 4 days before Xmas Day with no booking. We were warmly welcomed and shown into the 'Snug', a cosy room with an open fire. We ordered our drinks and food which came very promptly. The steak & ale pie was piping hot and delicious, thin crispy pastry on top. The gammon & egg was equally as good. Service was exceptional despite it being extemely busy. Everyone was cheerful, friendly and attentive. Could not fault anything, would thoroughly recommend and will definitely return when we are in the area again. Update, July 2024 Have just returned to The Wellington and the service & food was as good as our previous visit. Thoroughly recommend

Very good food !! Will be back again

Fantastic evening meal and breakfast the next day - staff friendly and setting beautiful - highly recommend

Lovely friendly staff. Good food. Countryside setting. It is always a pleasure to dine here.

Nice Sunday lunch in an old pub/hotel. Big pub with outside seating front and rear, nice warm real fire in the winter, good service, little bit out of the way but on a decent road down from Menwith hill radar station, Sunday lunch was spot on, daughter got fish n chips which she said was nice, looked nice. Grandson got a burger which he scores 5/5

A solid 3/5 and good for a couple of nights. Clean, comfortable and breakfast is good. A little overpriced. We did have the last room and not much available.

Nice old hotel with good staff and great food, in a lovely area.

Excellent service and food was excellent. Toilets clean and smart. Good choice of beer and wines.

We stopped for a lunch on Sunday. We were so happy Sunday Roast was not the only option. We ordered from specials and standard menu. We all were do happy with the quality and freshness of the food. The service was excellent as the atmosphere. Highly recommended to everyone 👍 👌

What a lovely place , just on the path for walks about , very good location, good food , great beer , and great service, so friendly and helpful,

Great location, great food, lovely staff

Expensive for a basic Sunday Lunch No parsnips unless you pay extra the mixed vegetables had been bulked up wit courgettes and undercooked. Can understand why not full

Great food (the Steak Pie is packed with meat!) and really friendly staff.

We had a really good take away from here

Great visit to the Wellington Inn Very cosy comfortable rooms. Very clean throughout .well trained staff with great dining experience, catered for all dietary requirements

Lovely food at a lovely country pub. Very nice service from friendly staff and the locals were very welcoming. Great afternoon out!

I'am happy with their service, prices, and quality food.

Staff were great, food was good. Exceptional service and value for money. No complaints, highly recommended. Definitely will go again. Many thanks

We have been here several times and no complaints.Tonight was totally different,in the dining area we settled down for a nice quiet meal when all of a sudden children started screaming and I mean screaming,this went on for over half a hour and people started to feel uncomfortable.The parents had no control over the children. The young waitress asked if our meal was ok I told her everything was fine except for the screaming of the kids she apologised for the noise but it was not her fault. It would have been nice if the manager had had a word with the parents about the noise but didn’t bother,will think twice about going back.

Traditional pub in the Yorkshire countryside with great food and service with a stunning fire place. What more could you ask for on an October afternoon?!

Surprised our friend on her birthday and turned up at the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and gave us a lovely table in the restaurant. All the food was delicious and very nicely cooked. My husband forgot to mention he didn’t like Parmesan on his salad and when it was mentioned a new side salad was made for him. Our friends said their room was very comfortable. We will certainly visit again.

Out for the day and decided to call at The Wellington Inn at Darley near Harrogate, can't claim to be a regular as it must be 30 years since I was last there but today was the first visit for the Missus. Ordered the drinks at the bar and then found a table to look at the menu. The menu was fine with a decent mix of dishes to suit most tastes and there was a chalkboard with some Specials listed. We opted for the table menu and I decided to have the Calamari for a starter, even though I thought it was a little pricey. As it turned out it was a good portion and then it didn't seem too bad. Nice dish and it came with a salad garnish, dip and lemon wedge. Mrs had the Hummus with pitta breads, also very nice. For the Main course we both decided on the Steak and Ale Pie. Wife had hers with new potatoes and peas and I had mine with Chips and peas. The pies came in good sized individual round dishes with fresh crusty tops and loaded with meat and an ale gravy, we didn't really need the rather large gravy boat that came with the meal but at some places I would happily have killed for one. My chips were great and the only comment from herself was that she could have done with another potato as there was too much pie filling. In all a really pleasant meal in a really nice olde world pub. Staff were very nice and pleasant and efficient. On the next table to us, a young lady was sat at the lap top obviously working at the pub and we could not help hear how She dealt with customers making bookings for meals and also rooms. She never looked anything but calm and collected an it was a pleasure to hear her dealing with Joe Public a such a charming and professional way (made me want to stay there) Back to business in hand, Food, service and staff were all great, the outside area looked fab and by the way the bookings were coming in the future looks rosy for them. Price, two starters, two mains and one pint of lager and a J2O. just over fifty six quid, I'm not going to whinge at that (just won three hundred quid on Premium Bonds ha ha) joking apart we will be going back, win or not, Give it a try, you'll be glad you did

We stayed overnight at this hotel and although the room was ok the menu for evening meal was very disappointing & very pretentious we thought we would be offered ‘pub grub’ but it was overpriced fine dining which really didn’t suit the type accommodation my husband has several food intolerances non of which they catered for so it was very difficult to find anything to eat all he really wanted was egg & chips ! If you decide to stay here I would recommend to make alternative arrangements for dinner & breakfast was nothing to write home about very little choice although it is included in the night price

We have just returned after staying a night at The Wellington, and we would definitely return. Service was good. Food was wonderful. A very dog friendly bar area away from the main dinning area. Great location. Room small, but newly and perfectly decorated. Thank you 😊

What a fabulous venue and location with superb food and service to match. Myself and two friends stayed for one night and we would all return and stay for longer. We ate in the restaurant and all had the crispy pork belly with a honey and cinnamon drizzle. Andy, the chef is to be congratulated on his culinary skills and palate, this is the best pork belly I have eaten, seasoned to perfection and the deftest of touches with the cinnamon. The peony room has a veranda that overlooks the rolling scenery. Thank you to the whole team for a great stay. Regards Andrew

My friends and I had lunch recently at The Wellington,it is a place that I have visited many times before and it was good food and service as it always has been,it is nice to know a place that you can always reply on for good quality food

We had booked as a group of 7 friends and 2 dogs after walking on a stunning autumnal day and it proved to be the ideal location. Food , drink and service were perfect and we look forward to coming back soon!

Not welcoming - can only comment on enquiry made to see if they could accommodate a wheelchair user and a dog, very rude and said we could use the back door and although they take dogs, they don't like them "and they're fully booked" without even confirming when we wanted to go or seeing if there was an alternative. Needless to say, we avoided.

Attractive bar/dining room serving excellent range of tasty food. Steak & Ale Pie was sublime, pork ribs very good & wonderfully huge onion rings! Pleasant, efficient staff. Would definitely visit again.

Loved the food. Very good selection, caters for all tastes. Gammon and Steak pie our favourites. Try the Cinderella ice cream.

Had an excellent roast beef dinner in the restaurant and my wife had the roast pork. The meal was absolutely superb, plentiful and hot and what was really nice is that my beef was cooked well-done to order. Many similar eating establishments turn out the meat rare only and you either love it or simply put up with it. The cauliflower cheese was outstanding and well worth the extra supplement. Clean area, friendly staff and the restaurant looks outstanding. Definitely going again.

We visited on Good Friday evening and have a lovely meal. It was busy but had lots of staff on. service was prompt and efficient.

We visited yesterday for lunch. What a waste of time and money. We had the prawn and red-fish curry; three prawns, very sparse fish, tough cold pitta, dry, tasteless rice. This was so disappointing. No-one came near to ask how the food was at all, and when the plates were collected we told the waitress (politely) that we were unhappy with the food. She shrugged her shoulders. That was it. We have been before and it's always been a bit hit and miss. This time it was a miss, so that's what we'll give it in future. There are plenty of other local places to eat, which are much better.

All waitresses seemed to be run off their feet so as soon the plates were on the table they were gone, and sighed when you told them your order. The land lady was rude to our table questioning our order when it was wrong. We decided to give it another shot again and they told us to leave by a certain time and to stand outside if we wanted to drink, such a shame as it is a beautiful looking pub

Nice pub but lacking in customer service the table we had was ridiculous people kept knocking us waiting and coming out of the restaurant the room was very noisy you could hear everything especially the people above you very creaky floor boards you think they...

Lovely old charm pub with great staff. Very reasonably priced and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are lovely and breakfast outstanding.

We visited the Wellington Inn at Darley last night after managing to secure a last minute booking for 7 pm. We were greeted warmly and given the option of a table in the bar area or the restaurant, we opted for the restaurant. The restaurant...

Absolutely fantastic food. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Beautiful scenery. Really can’t recommend it enough.

I really can't believe I am writing this as I never complain but I am disgusted at the attitude of the owner. I've never experienced such a terrible approach. I ordered food and a drink and the food came out 30 minutes later. No problem...

Really enjoyed our meal...even if Pizza off the menu due to over demand of their £8 wednesday special. Enjoyed my lamb and roast veg.

Another wonderful meal here at the “Welly”. Great service, great food and great atmosphere...what more could you want from a local country pub.

Having lived in the area for many years we were back to catch up with friends and were delighted that the outstanding experience that is the Wellington Inn has not changed. The service was outstanding, the menu extensive and food wonderful. We wish we had...

Great food well cooked and presented. The menu was good with a wide selection. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

We booked online for our first meal out since the lockdown rules eased. On arrival the we observed the one way system in and out of the pub. A waitress with visor on showed us to our socially distanced table. We chose the regular portion of fish and chips at £11.95 and the pork chorizo & honey burger at £12.95. The chips with both meals were delightfully cooked and the fish excellent. The burger came with the most wonderful onion rings in a very light batter. Throughout, the staff were attentive and fully observed covid-19 protection.

We had an amazing lunch and can recommend the fish and chips! Excellent service and welcoming roaring fire. Will definitely return!

Visited the Wellington inn Friday 20th December. All great apart from? I’m not a lover of the shared vegetable platter when you order a meal at any restaurant. From 6 people 3 ordered the Christmas meal, Turkey etc. The shared veg plate arrived for the 3 Christmas lunches that was sparse but your never sure how much you should take? Sprouts show the true amount that are allocated for you and I love sprouts so to my disappointment we had 6! I’m sure the explanation would be I could have asked for more but why should I have too? So on reflection, how much are vegetables and why as always am I thinking next time I’ll go to a pub/Restaurant that doesn’t give you a shared veg platter. It’s a shame because the food and service was great. I just don’t think 2 Sprouts are what I expected when I order a Christmas lunch.

This is my local, so I am biased. Whenever we need to celebrate or just because we fancy it, we enjoy the friendly welcome and quite excellent food. Inexpensive, good quality, and varied. From the specials board to fish and chips (Known as the Welly Whale because of it's size) you will not be disappointed in the food or the welcome from friendly staff. Recently refurbished bedrooms mean you can stay the night or use it as a base with an award winning breakfast as well. As I said, this is my local, so I know it well.

Beautiful location and lovely parking for motorhome. Very dog friendly with some great walks. We had Sunday lunch, evening meal and breakfast all fantastic. Local bus runs to harrogate. So good we stayed an extra night. Would definitely return.

Ottimo cibo, piatti abbondanti, servizio impeccabile pure con la prova della birra. Niente da dire, perfetto

Good gastro pub food. Very nice duck breasts, cheese board a little disappointing. Looks popular you'll need to book.

We had a Saturday evening meal in the restaurant, whilst staying the inn. Good choice of menu , good service, tasty food , great views of the countryside and all at a reasonable price. We sat outside at the back of the restaurant after our meal and watched the sunset over the beautiful countryside whilst listening to the call of owls in the background. ..... magical. ..

Having returned late from holiday we popped on to our local for our evening meal. It is the first time we have eaten there since the new manager took over and there is a great improvement in the restaurant and décor. There are new tables and chairs which are clean, comfortable and welcoming. There was just the manager and one waitress to cover the restaurant and bar areas, as a result of which the service ranged from slow to non-existent and this was a pity as the food was good, the menu choice adequate and the drinks selection excellent. The staff (both of them) were friendly and helpful. Portion sizes were huge and a little over facing, but delicious and well prepared. We'll definitely be eating there again, as it's our nearest restaurant, but I sincerely hope that the service problem is addressed soon as it is a deterrent to choosing to go there.

Just had a great week at the Wellington. Comfortable and convenient room including tv , tea making facilities, fan or extra heater, very nice bathroom with walk in shower including some grab rails. Welcoming bar areas both inside and outside with decking area with fabulous views. Very good restaurant with local foods served by charming and efficient staff. Breakfasts to die for! Again with lovely local ingredients. Convenient for Harrogate, Pately Bridge, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors plus. Definitely going back.

Beautiful location.Excellant lunch, sandwiches first rate, quality, presentation and service.Well priced and v good quality filling.Confortable, doggie friendly, no minus points.Will return

We called here after walking around Fewston reservoir, The pint of Taylor’s blonde I had was excellent. Three of the group had starters which they all enjoyed. The main course order was served promptly after the starters were finished, freshly cooked food good sized portions on hot plates. Three of us had burgers and they were very good. I tend to order burgers if I haven’t eaten somewhere before (I don’t know why but I do). I have had some horrors including one that could have been used as a hockey puck but these were really good. Two of our party had steak and ale pie which they both enjoyed and my daugher had a vegetarian dish ( can’t remember offhand what it was) which she also enjoyed. I had intended to have dessert which is rare for me but unfortunately I was full so cannot comment on them. Overall a great experience and we do intend to return.

Stopped in on the way back home. 3 of us had roasts and the other fish and chips. The beef and lamb were served pink (as they should be). 4 empty plates as they were all delicious. Service was very good as well. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Visited with family and our dogs. We had squid for starters, which was delicious and came with a salad that someone had put effort into. Followed by pheasant, steak pie & burger. All clearly home prepared to a high standard & tasty.

Superb food, great service and a really nice atmosphere, really enjoyed our visit. Just a little frustrating being told the only baby change is in the ladies' and that I'd have to my daughter's mum to change her. Good job she was with us as the alternative options would all have been awkward!

We used to visit here frequently in the 1990s so chose the Wellington for lunch on our way to Grassington.

Cannot fault the food. Huge choice, food I believe is cooked to order. Portions are huge. Open fires and excellent staff.

As we were on the way to Brimham Rocks we called in to this lovely pub as I’ve been a fan over many years. They didn’t disappoint, the staff were really friendly and helpful and service was prompt and nicely timed. We all chose different dishes and not one was anything other than lovely. Although the location is pretty remote, they do have rooms and it’s a really lovely traditional pub with open fire side and tap side. But the draw is the chalk board menu which always appeals and delivers, it makes you feel like you want to stay there just so you have something else off the menu. Thoroughly recommended if you need a stop off in the Dales.

Food was to a very good standard and you could tell the chef took pride in their cooking and presentation. We was not disappointed.

We arrived last night after a nightmare of a journey, a journey of 230 miles which was meant to take 4 hours actually took 8 and a half hours! Christine welcomed us so warmly and was so kind to us. When she realised what a dreadful journey we’d had she went out of her way to improve our day and upgraded us to the most beautiful room with French doors and a balcony. We came down for dinner and were delighted with the choice of food and the meals we chose. The bed was so comfortable and we slept with the French doors open, waking up to the magnificent view. We’ll definitely be back. Couldn’t speak highly enough of it. Thank you so much!

Called here on our way back to our cottage after a lovely walk down the river nidd. Sat out side with a drink looking at the menu..and returned in the evening for a meal. What a lovely meal it was too. Scallops to start for my self and my partner had salt and pepper squid. Beautiful flavours. For mains my partner had steak pie and I had duck. Wow what flavours the duck dish had. Cannot fault it. Pie was good too. I was stuffed but couldn't resist a pudding so choice sticky toffee pudding. Nice wine menu and lovely feel to the place. Staff very friendly and accommodating thank you for a lovely evening will definately come again during our stay in summerbridge

The staff were hard working and our meal was tasty and plentiful in the beautiful, bright restaurant. The manager went out of her way by giving us a lift back to our guest house. This was greatly appreciated.

We have been going here when we holiday in the area .approx 11 years, has always been lovely,but unfortunately it wasn’t today,we went for a Friday lunchtime approx,1.00 pm,there wasn’t a sole in there,that should have told us something. ,we had the squid to start with ,that was nice ,my husband had the fish and chips,the chips were amazing,the fish a bit too well done and greasy I had gammon and egg, the piece iOf gammon,was very small,and so chewy and fatty ( never had a piece of gammon like that before),the eggs were rock hard and very well done,onion rings were very greasy ,we did complain,and they knocked £6 off the bill,we won’t be returning here again

We came to the Wellington inn for an early dinner.

Very nice place to stay for a few days, excellent food reasonably priced, very good quality. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ideal place to stay for visiting the dales

Ate dinner here recently on a Friday night. Cajun whitebait for starter was very nice, followed by a Barnsley chop. Unfortunately, although good quality, the chop was probably the smallest I've had, with most of the room on the plate being taken up by three enormous, greasy onion rings, a large mushroom and a whole tomato. Dessert was the cheese board, which was very good, and it was nice to get a good portion of crackers. Service was very good, and the views out of the restaurant were great, but unfortunately it was very quiet for a Friday night, and the restaurant area lacked ambience.

Just had a wonderful meal here. All meals we had as a family were top grade. The service is super and the ace has a lovely old English countryside feel to it. Will Definately return

Came here for a lunch break pit stop on the way to Brimham, looked pretty nice from outside so decided to give it a go.

We were on a short break for my hubby ee ate at the Wellington inn every night we were thier. We could not fault the food and the veritey was fantastic. If we had be there for 2 weeks we would not of got through the entire menu.

Nice uncomplicated pub grub -beware big portions, nice friendly staff and a good attmosphere worth a visit if you are in the area

We recently spent a long weekend in Darley and booked the Wellington Inn for the Saturday night, as our cottage was just down the road. It’s a lovely old pub, but we were sat in the back corner of the rather soulless dining room, which was a little disappointing. Three of us literally found ourselves facing a bare wall; there wasn’t a single photo or painting on it. Thankfully, the food made up for the lack of decor and atmosphere. Everything was very tasty and generously portioned. The onion rings on my mixed grill were enormous! The real ales were also very nice: I enjoyed a pint of both the Black Sheep and Timothy Taylor.

Traditional village pub offering a superb range of choices on their menu. Had the Foley which was delicious.

Third stay in this fantastic old establishment. Just can't stop going back. Good accomodation, brilliant staff, excellent food and ales. Nice big open fire to boot. What more do you want ? Go there.

Miles from Harrogate. Rooms left me feeling I was in a mediocre BnB, however the food was good and staff caring. Do go and eat there.

We visited this pub for lunch on Sunday.On arrival we were pointed to a table and I went to order drinks at the bar.The barman was chuntering a bucketful and spent more time grumbling about a pump being out of order and not being able to find any menus than he did serving and did a good job ignoring me.That didn't bode well.So anyway we ordered our food after a ten minute wait.We then waited another good half hour for it to arrive.My roast chicken was served with just a yorkshire pudding and no trimmings (no stuffing?) and was sitting in watery gravy.To be honest it looked like it had been zapped in the microwave. My partners steak pie was passable but not exceptional. Another ordered pork which was again mediocre and came with no trimmings.Another ordered beef which he described as ok.However the side of vegetables that were included as part of the 4 main meals was served rock hard and undercooked.I know that Al dente is the fashion but at least show them some kind of heat.One of us happened to look under the bench which had all kinds of detritus under it, so the floor could do with a good clean.Unimpressed and disappointed with both your overall standards of service and your food.
