The Wild Plum in Harrogate

I have just read the managers new reply. OMG, shocked. I think the tone and the fact that my mobility issue had to be on show for all to see is an insult. As we were offered a short low down bar stool as my wife has mobility issues. Lady who showed us in, then didn't seem happy we were not accepting the stools. She took us back outside to wait outside the door and told us we would have a long wait and asked us to wait until the table came free. NOT THE QUEUING PROCESS that was the problem. It was how we were spoken to and treated because we didn't accept what was offered. Lady talked to us like a school mistress, then pointed and was aggressive at one point all because i moved to look in the shop window and away from the queue point she had placed us at. We were not there to be spoken to like naughty school children, so we left. All because we weren't standing in the right spot outside, whilst only us were there. Raised with the manager who seemed to think her attitude was OK, as does the owners reply to my review, not exactly a professional reply, just excuses for poor customer service. Shame as I was taking my husband there for the first time and with a wedding in mind for an outfit, as it came highly recommended. Will be sharing my experience with others. My advice avoid as they might have great food, their customer service wasn't great, and the owners' reply is not accepting perhaps they got it wrong. DISAPPOINTING 😞

This was our first time visiting. Amazing food , fantastic service and absolutely beautiful place. The food is a work of art and tastes just as good.

Me and my daughter visited for lunch for some special time together. We have been several times previously but always forget to do a much deserved review. As ever the staff were amazing very polite and prompt in serving us. Our food was exceptional. The chef is very talented in combining flavours as well as making everything a work of art to look at. Can’t wait for out next trip !

Simply wonderful ! We went in on a busy Saturday night and had the crispy beef and it was sublime. The service and the food were first class and the atmosphere friendly with everyone having a good time. We had a window table and it was a delightful way to spend the evening. The waitress recommended the pinot and it went so well with the food that we drank the whole bottle. Reasonable prices and we can't wait to go back !

Lovely food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

I do not eat meat and am intolerant to gluten, dairy and egg so eating out can be difficult. However I have eaten here a few times and there is always a choice of food I can eat and it is always of excellent quality & the presentation is beautiful. I tried the black salmon dish and there was a wonderful blend of flavours; it was highly enjoyable i will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant

Absolutely loved it! It was on the VERY pricey side but I've always wanted to visit & glad that I eventually did.

Been here multiple times, one of the best brunch places we've ever been too, food is always exceptional.

Excellent in every way, can't wait to go again.

Literally a secret gem. I had seen and heard about this on social media so wantes to try it out. It was so cute, and love the way you have to get to the cafe (i won't give it away if you haven't visited yet). The decor was a great first impression and we were greeted with smiles and warm welcomes all the way through. The menu had lots of variety and i only wish i was able to eat more! I settled for a savoury option of the cheddar and wild garlic loaf whislt my friend went savoury with the lemon curd French toast. The presentation was beautiful, portions were generous and the taste was very flavourful. Hope for a return visit in the future. Welldone to the front and back teams.

Here on holiday for a couple of days and found this gem of a place! From decor to service to the most amazing food I commend you ! Unreal well done x

It has been 6 months since our last visit, the standard hasn't dropped off it has probably been raised.....5 star plus. We had smoked haddock rarebit and crispy beef both of which were perfect. I would eat here every week but live in Beverley so it's a bit of a trek but well worth the drive.

Food was truly amazing, I had the Korean boa , and my husband had the dippy egg (was a sweet meringue with lemon to made to look like an egg) , both were amazing. My daughter had the child's pancakes these were lovely.

Amazing little gem of Harrogate.

Food: average and pricey, staff: took a while to get served, atmosphere: good. Difficult to park also.

Fabulous food. Excellent staff. Really enjoyed our meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

We visited snooty frox today and after went for a much needed latte to wild plum we was shown to our table and left to look at the menu A couple was on the table next to us and had finished eating much to our disgust the man picked up a napkin blew his nose a couple of times and put the napkin into his empty cup My friend and i was disgusted we got up and walked out never will return again 🤮

What a lovely and cozy cafe! Rachel was so helpful and recommended this gorgeous food! I must say the food and drinks taste great as it looks! Highly recommended this place.

A very busy place, where great food was on offer. My lunch/brunch was delightful, a very warm greeting by the staff.

LOVE THIS PLACE - I’d have breakfast here every day if I could afford it. We just had a ‘simple’ breakfast of eggs on sourdough - the flavours - just amazing. Sides of crispy bacon and halloumi were delicious and the coffee was great. Not to mention the most wonderful service - what a contrast from last nights meal at Pranzo. This is how to look after your customers ❤️

I have visited the wild plum a few times and I absolutely love coming back. Myself and my friend visited on Friday for a birthday treat and we were thrilled with our meals and the service we received. The Wild Plum is so lovely and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants a meal to fill them for the day and an absolute twist on a traditional meal. Bethany is a fantastic chef who clearly puts her heart and soul into every freshly prepared meal. Will be back again soon.

My sis and I visited for a special occasion. Sadly, we were disappointed ☹️ The staff were friendly, but - as a person who visits eateries regularly- I was gobsmacked by the prices (£19.50 for a turkey toastie on their lunch menu). The presentation on the Classic Pancakes was stunning, delicious flavours (£15.50) and plenty to share. We shared that as "pud" which followed (shared) poached eggs on sourdough. That was just OK - the dukkha and watery brown sauce didn't really work, but the addition of fresh herbs was really lush. My sister's cappuccino just wasn't a cappuccino - why can so few people foam milk?! There was zero atmosphere in the place, poor lighting and it wasn't particularly warm. For £30 on breakfast for two, I'd like a gorgeous memorable experience but I'm afraid neither of us would return here in a hurry. While I appreciate the artistry and complex flavours, the detail in the presentation...but the cafe still felt "cheap" (plastic Christmas tree on the table). And during a time when people are penny pinching, I felt a bit sick spending so much on above-average food. Sorry guys!

Absolutely incredible brunch! Such inventive flavours, beautifully presented and so tasty! We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and this is on a par! A must visit when in Harrogate!

I have been several times before and the wild plum never disappoints. The menu changes frequently but is always unique and interesting. We shared the brie and bacon french toast donut, and the Christmas tree waffles; both were fantastic. The staff were friendly as usual!

What a wonderful find in Harrogate. Not in the most obvious location, above an upmarket dress shop but definitely worth the effort to go to. Such tasty and well presented food. The best brunch/lunch food I had eaten in a long time. I had the Quesadillas which were great. Good service too. Slightly more expensive than most brunch spots but worth it. We will be back!

Lovely menu & food. Really interesting take on different dishes, the menu doesn't really do the food justice. Will be returning after the festive season.

Amazing food and service such a special place . Never disappoints with innovative offerings and always fantastic presentation .

Wow as always , had the hoi sin pork dohnuts they were sensational as any food I have ever had here is ! My friend had the pork sandwich and was so tasty , BUT have to ask are the chips not made by you now? 😢weren’t as amazing as they usually are , but even so one of my all time favorite places 🥰

We were told about the wild plum while in mannions restaurant in york.we were not disappointed.we will be back

This place is astonishing!- absolutely lovely!…. Quirky, sophisticated and a wonderful experience 😊❤️

Fabulous place! Lovely staff, quirky decor with plenty to look at. Great selection of drinks and food on the menu. Cannot make bookings though. Eggs were beautifully cooked and the chai latte was amazing!

Visited here on Thur dinner time, absolutely first class food. We had meat balls and crispy beef, both dishes were deliciously tasty, worthy of a 5 star restaurant. The waitress and overall service was great. If you like good food YOU MUST EAT HERE.

Absolutely delicious brunch!! Highly recommend and would definitely visit again. The meals were creative and beautifully presented and the staff were so friendly.

This is a delightful place for brunch or lunch. The food is amazing and the service is fantastic. I would visit again in a heartbeat when I am in the area.

We absolutely loved the Mexican benny and the crispy chilli beef. We then shared a Barbie waffle and noticed how overwhelmingly salty it tasted. We informed one of the waitresses that we thought the waffle itself was very salty. She said she would go tell the chef. She came back with a strawberry crumb and said the chef had told her there wasn’t any salt in the waffle so it could be the crumb and would we like to try some to see. We both tried it and realised it was that and both remarked how salty it was. The woman then said that the chef had said when it mixes with the wet ingredients then it kind of melts and that’s what we were tasting. She then left the crumb with us. We finished the dish as no alternative had been offered but the crumb was all over so it was difficult to ignore the saltiness.  We were disappointed that no alternative was offered such as to have the dish made again without the crumb. On the menu it does not say there are any salty elements as we would not have ordered it. We think maybe it was supposed to be the popping candy but it wasn’t sweet so we aren’t sure.  We typically love your food and feel like the quality fairly reflects the prices. However, we feel that £16 was a lot to pay for a very salty waffle that we didn’t particularly enjoy but weren’t offered a solution. Emailed them the above and they didn’t even bother to respond, which we found disappointing.

If you are a foodie then this is a special place you should eat at. If you prefer standard menu then I'm not so sure. I absolutely loved it - so beautifully presented and amazingly delicious.

I have visited several times and the menu is always new and innovative. I particularly enjoyed the Whitby crab roll, and they do a very good espresso martini!

Simply fantastic food - the best lamb I have ever tasted (and I know my lamb!) on Monday for brunch.... great portions so expect your evening meal for brunch and I say that in the best way! Our new favourite place and looking forward to returning... a lot, so get used to us coming back soon. Thanks so much for a great brunch - just perfect.

Absolutely amazing place, the food is first class and the staff are lovely. Been a number of times and never fails to impress.

The food was lovely and the service wonderful. If im completely honest, there was too much food. Neither of us could finish our meals, you could have made them both 2/3 of the size and possibly reduce the price a little... It was over £50 for 2 meals and 2 hot drinks. Nothing bad, just personal opinion x

Always good food and generous portions!

We had a fantastic meal, would recommend this place to anyone.

Well, I'm just a bit disappointed. Not being able to book any tables so standing around in the shop, felt a bit aquward for us and felt in the way, but we were always told great things, so we waited for 25 minutes for a table. Was a nice atmosphere and polite staff, but not overly engaging and would have got more drinks if they had checked back on us, had to keep flagging them down to order. We had a bottle of processco and some coffees, which were nice, but I thought the coffees would be better made with the comments on here. The milk texture for the lattes was very limp. The processco was lovely. We ordered the Lebanese breakfast with lamb, which was nice, large portion, and the items were tasty, but the bread was overcooked. We had the Crispy beef salad which seems to be there most popular dish, this unfortunately was so disappointing, the beef was so crispy that it was just over cooked, chewey and came out cold, the salad was drowned in the dressing so the whole salad was vrey wet and unpleasant to eat, another's of our party had it as well and was also very disappointed. The side of Crispy halloumi was very dark brown and tasted as if the oil was old that they were cooked in. Overall, we left disappointed and didn't feel like it lived up to the hipe and that it was more about how it looked than the taste. When we did give feedback, it seemed dismissed and a oh okay attitude. Might have been an off day for them, but I'm not sure I'll be running back anytime soon.

A friend and I went here for an impromptu lunch, and I was blown away by how incredible my lunch was. The food was absolutely delicious (I had the famous crispy beef). The menu changes on a monthly basis ( i deduce this from the month listed at the top fo the menu), but everything sounded lovely - and i did a bit of a scope round looking at other diners lunch and every plate looked goregous. It's not the cheapest option around however the ambience, the service, and of course the food make the price completely justifiable. There is no booking service, you just have to turn up and wait but we only waited about five minutes. Once inside the setting was lovely, clean and pleasant (love the living moss wall and the neon sign!). All in all a wonderful experience which I will certainly repeat soon.

Perhaps the best breakfast that I’ve ever had. Delicious. Fresh. Beautiful. I cant rave enough about this place.

Delicious tasting food with a delicious menu and beautifully friendly staff. The decor is super cool, vibrant and inviting.

Why is this foodie heaven hiding on top of a bad clothing store. It deserves better. Move to a more deserving location asap please.

Amazing food, delicious. Finally found somewhere that serves homemade Kombucha! Service was great, can't find fault. Can't wait to return

Absolutely sensational twist on a traditional breakfast - very skilled chefs, complimented by superb staff, especially Jennifer. Thank you - will definitely return when next up from Canterbury.

I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time. My daughter has been on numerous occasions, and each time she enthuses about the food. She brought me on a Wednesday morning. We were lucky enough that we didn’t have to queue. Looking at...

This is my third time visiting The Wild Plum and it never fails to disappoint. The menu is unique and innovative, and I very much enjoyed the rhubarb French toast.

The Wild Plum is incredible. After 10+ visits, I am yet to order something that isn't excellent, both in flavour and presentation. The staff are wonderful and make the experience even more special. We will continue visiting whenever we can, braving the queues because it...

Unbelievably exceptional food, really friendly service, what a delightful surprise. A must-visit! (Also very helpful with parking our bikes securely, thank you!)

visited the restaurant twice and can honestly say on both times were been made to feel unwelcome by the door staff - they definitely match the name of the shop downstairs ‘snooty’ i’m not sure if this place doesn’t like kids but if that’s the...

Fabulous food as always! Staff are so kind and friendly. We didn't have to wait long but even if there is a queue the food is so good (as well as beautiful!) that it us definitely worth it!

Staff were pleasant, and having visited before, we were prepared for the wait to get seated. My wife had the Ham Chop which was extremely plentiful and, she tells me very tasty. I ordered the breakfast donut. For whatever reason the meals were not brought...

Just had a fabulous lunch in this Harrogate ‘hidden gem’ The decor and quality of food was simply superb This is a lovely meeting place for friends & family, it’s 10/10

Had a fantastic lunch sat on the low bar benches on my own and watched the world go by out the window while enjoying my food. Sometimes it is nice just to sit and eat good food in a nice atmosphere on your own. Staff...

My friends and I visited today to celebrate my birthday. My friends could have not chosen a better venue ( it was by recommendation). We had the most wonderful morning. I felt truly spoilt. The menu choices were a diverse selection. Each of us chose...

Wow ! Great food beautifully presented. It was our first trip to the wild plum but it wont be the last. Its half term so a little wait outside to get seated. Im sure on a normal week that wouldn’t happen. Service was quick and...

Arrived at wild plum at 12:20pm was greeted at the door and told the table would be available in 30-40 mins. Name and phone number was taken and was told they would ring when a table was arrive. Due to being told there was a...

After travelling over an hour to reach The Wild Plum and having high expectations of the experience we were sorely disappointed by the misleading and unclear instructions that were given to us. We were informed that we would have a 30 minute wait for a...

Popped in with my daughter for brunch and wasn’t disappointed. Service from everyone was fantastic & the food gorgeous, highly recommend.

It's a while since we have visited the Wild Plum but we thought we'd take a trip back for a late breakfast. The gluten free options were mentioned on the menu but limited and whilst toast was listed as gluten free there was no mention...

Service is quick & great, the food was tasty and the portions were big. The food was also very aesthetically pleasing! A lovely cafe, would definitely visit again.

Called for a hot drink on a cold wet day just before Christmas. I had seen the review in The Yorkshire Post so thought I would pop in whilst visiting for the day from North Lincolnshire . Entrance is via Snooty Frox and a member...

What can we say? Delicious, artistic, tasty food with a warm and friendly atmosphere. We visited for my wife's birthday and all four of us had different from the menu. One of our party has food allergy issues and the waitress was happy to check...

Visited on Friday lunchtime and as always the food service and surroundings were excellent. I had the beetroot hummus with dukkah followed by a slice of earl grey cake and a rose lemonade to drink. Will be back again before Christmas highly recommended

Great service and most importantly food was amazing, the taste matched the excellent presentation. See photos The cake was spectacular (sticky date caramel we’ll something like that) sorry no photos

My husband and I went here for breakfast whilst staying in Harrogate for the weekend, having seen the rave reviews. We are so glad we did - it was, without doubt, the star meal of our weekend and I would go as far as to...

This was clearly one of best brunches we've ever eaten. The cafe itself was really quaint and nicely decorated it's set above a womens clothing boutique called the Snooty Frox so be careful not to drive by this little eatery thinking its other than that....

Still the best not just in Harrogate but anywhere and we’ll keep coming back every time we’re down from Scotland. Tried hundreds of places for different imaginative breakfast/brunches and unfortunately for the rest we always compare and say not as good as the Wild Plum!

As someone who works in the hospitality industry; sometimes it’s hard to get excited about food as it feels functional and not an experience. Having visited the wild plum on Saturday with other family members, it’s easy to appreciate what all the fuss is about....

For me, this has to be the BEST place to eat in Harrogate. I absolutely love the food here. The staff have always been so kind and courteous to us which adds so much to our visits. They say you eat with your eyes first,...

I have visited The Wild Plum previously and as before the experience was just lovely. I could wax lyrical about the superb service (today being no exception) or the lovely cosy atmosphere, but right now I need to highly recommend the superb food. Today we...

It’s just so good! If they were open in the evening I think I would eat there 3 times a day! Food is just so good, so fresh and tasty, love everything I have ever eaten there. Had the paleo bread with peas, asparagus and...

Definitely NOT the best breakfast in town. ££££ Very high sugar super charged breakfast. A bit too Las Vegas meets Thailand for us. The kids breakfast had Malibu soaked pineapple in it?! My husbands breakfast looked and tasted great but everything else was disappointing especially my “granola” which was essentially cornflakes and cheerios stuck together with a tooth breaking sugar. There were micro herbs etc everywhere which were also unnecessary. Disappointing especially having read the reviews beforehand.

Very enjoyable birthday lunch for me my husband and my sister in law. Great customer service,very tasty food and beautiful presentation. Lovely birthday surprise desert. Thank you to The Wild Plum team for making my birthday special! See you soon.

Went to visit Wild Plumb for a girly lunch with my family and it was lovely. The food was incredible and I highly recommend the pink fizz Prosecco! Staff are very friendly and I loved the colourful decor. I would highly recommend trying it for...

Best lunch stop in Harrogate. Go there and spoil yourself!

Visited with my wife and two kids for a birthday treat. Made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Waffles and pancakes were awesome, allowed the kids to choose their own and happy to answer any questions we asked, as our daughter has a severe nut allergy. We had two Asian inspired dishes and they were top notch. Really tasty but also exceptionally presented. Very talented chef/owner backed up by a great team in the kitchen but also serving on.We are 45 minutes away and would make a special trip in the near future to eat there again. Thanks, from the Palmer family and see you soon!!

The food is simply devine. I have never had a a bad experience here. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice brunch/lunch.

Had to wait to be seated but offered frequent updates on waiting times. Well worth the wait, the food was delicious and the staff extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Really lovely food at a reasonable price. The only thing that would put me off returning was the hour long wait outside for a table but that could just have been bad timing on our part on a Saturday lunchtime.

Loved it! I just need to work through the rest of the menu 😊

Perfection. Lovely staff. The menu changes regularly which keeps it FRESH.

Very disappointing, haven’t been for years , menu very limited and what I ordered I had to leave , no one questioned whether I was enjoying the food and when we came to pay and it was all left no-one questioned why. Nice decor but won’t be going back .

Visited the week commencing 21/2/22 and had the Wakefield Rhubard and Custard Waffle. Can safely say it is the best waffle I have ever had, delicious combinations and quality ingredients. Would highly recommend and we will be visiting again when next in Harrogate.

Our first visit to The Wild Plum since Covid restrictions have eased. Absolutely first-class. Friendly welcome, art on a plate and tasted as good as it looked. A real treat for a special occasion and was a fabulous start to the day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After wanting to visit for some time, we arrived today to have brunch to celebrate my birthday, we followed the signs through the dress shop to look for the stairs to Wild Plum. A lady from the Snooty Fox dress shop accosted us on our...

Lucky me! Swept away by my Sister and Mum to spend the afternoon in lovely Harrogate. I traveled over from Leeds and they tracked down all the way from the Lakes, and this lunch alone was well worth the travel. I had no idea where...

What a gem of a restaurant! Genuinely the best food in Harrogate, with extremely clever and innovative food. I have been multiple times and the food is simply sublime. All the little components come together to create a wonderfully thought out and simply delicious dish. Bethany is definitely one to watch. Cannot wait to come back

One of my favourite places in Harrogate. The service is always excellent and the food is incredible. I’ve been a few times now and it’s consistently great! I only wish you could book a table!

Beautiful setting, fabulous service and the most delicious food!

It was our first time at Wild Plum but definitely not our last! The food was amazing and the service unhurried and friendly. We did not know what to expect but wow were we impressed! We had the crab roll which was so fresh and...

delicious brunch, full of flavour. ordered a lebanese breakfast and came with so many things, all delicious esp the crispy fresh falafel. my friends french toast had so many different bursts of flavour that worked really well together. Small place, luckily we went at a...

Amazing restaurant for breakfast / brunch / lunch. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and efficient. A bit of a walk from the city centre, but well worth it

Fantastic. Food was excellent and the staff were brilliant definitely well worth a visit if you're in Harrogate

Arranged to meet friends and this was their recommendation. The restaurant is above a very nice dress shop that is owned by the chef's mum. We were quickly seated and well looked after. We went for the crab sandwich with a small side of fries....

Beautiful place and decor, upstairs and downstairs. The food was a WOW. Drinks too. Absolute quality and plentiful. Superb service. Elizabeth looked after us, she was lovely. We've recommended Wild Plum to several local friends and family.
