The Winter Gardens in Harrogate

Nice building, spoons is spoons. McDonald's with beer!

What a lovely place to have a drink, great surroundings

Great venue for a pub, really nostalgic of by gone years as to its former years

Always a warm welcome, cheapest place for a beer in any town. Not always the. beat. But ok at the price.

Lovely place to visit in Harrogate

Wetherspoons standard fayre, but in a fairly unique venue!

Very busy December Saturday but got a table. Good Guinness and food.

Lovely location for a pub. Dropped in while Christmas shopping. Had a very festive atmosphere. Went on a Tuesday and was very busy so if a group try and book a table

Very popular pub. Nicely decorated.

Nice building. No signage regardong ordering of drinks or whether to wait for seating or just look around for somewhere and wasn't told how to order food either. Seemed pretty un organised. Had to ask 3 different serving staff members, if we could have our table wiped clean as was covered in sticky food and spillages from previous people. Took 45 MINS of constant asking before they finally wiped it clean!! Not sure if it's worth a re visit despite the lovely building.

Nice place, nice service, cheap price but my god the seats are uncomfortable

Never had a problem with anything there food is tasty

A wonderful looking building inside and out. The place was clean and tidy. The food and drink arrived at our table very quickly, even though it was quite busy. We were so impressed, that we went back the next morning for breakfast and had a similarly excellent experience. Congrats to all staff for a brilliantly run pub.

One of the classic Spoons to visit - if you don’t mind the stairway. Back in the Good Beer Guide for 2025

Lovely building, quick service and a good Atmosphere. Staff helpful and friendly .

Always have breakfast here when we visit Harrogate. Staff always friendly & helpful particularly the petite lady with the foreign accent. A credit to the organisation.

Usual Spoons , renovation on a massive scale keeping the beautiful building alive. Huge in size very well decorated , friendly staff great choice of ales and clean. Christmas decor everywhere.. Recommend this place.

Excellent service from the lady that delivers your food at 8.45 Saturday very friendly

Good Wetherspoons, a bit on the big side but all was well. Good value for money.

What a fabulous place. The architecture is amazing and food, value for money is amazing. Worth a visit but does get busy.

Came in for breakfast at 10am only to be told not serving breakfast. You can get drunk but you can not drink.

Very busy pub in an amazing location, great friendly service and wide range of food choices

3rd time here and have to say what I've just witnessed. 2 girls which are supposed to clean tables just walking around. I moved the glasses from my table to another, then watched another chap move the glasses from his table to the one I just moved mine to. 3 ladies came in, no where to sit so they took turns to move glasses, plates & cutlery to the bar so they could sit. Watched someone else have to go to toilet to get wet tissue to clean his table. Really bad, no one does anything about it.

Stunning building, probably the best wetherspoons I have been to. I used the app while I was there and the service was so quick. Food was lovely too.

Particular staff member was very rude, wasn’t asked of ID when first served, member of staff asked for ID when I was half way through my second drink and was annoyed and rude when I took a few minutes to find it. I did initially have it ready when I was going to be served but afterwards had put away, didn’t think it was necessary to have ID ready after I’d already been served more than one drink but this staff member(who was not serving drinks) was very bothered by the fact I couldn’t immediately prove I was 18+ after I had already been served 2 drinks. Accused me of being at fault for this and said I should automatically be able to produce it(ID was at the bottom of my bag) was very unwelcoming and, in the opinion of someone who works in hospitality, was very unprofessional, if they thought I was under 18 should have ID ‘d initially instead of when I had already been served and then being rude when I wasn’t prepared. Bring impatient over having to wait two minutes for me to find my ID is ridiculously unprofessional.

Great. Fantastic old building. Used to be the Winter Gardens.

Great staff, great selection of local beer, great building too.

Yet another Wetherspoons winner the place is fantastic both inside and outside.Great staff.

The place was busy and table space was at a premium but I found a small table, albeit littered with glasses and plates. Had to ask 3 times for it to be cleared despite staff standing around chatting with each other. Eventually the plates on the table were cleared, but not the glasses and the person didn't return. I ordered food and when that arrived I had to ask for the dirty glasses to be removed. She took them but did not clean the dirty table. I had to use the napkin provided with my food to clean the table. Some serious staff training required at this establishment.

Must be one of the most spectacular Spoons in the UK. The building/setting is unbelievable. Definitely a must visit

Really nice pub with a great selection of beers all at reasonable prices.

Very warm and welcom atmosphere 😀 Good food and service 👌

We came to this establishment on Friday 1st November, we managed to find a table at the back of the pub. There were people just leaving the table, and they had eaten and had drinks. We sat down, no one came to clear the table. We had to ask twice. Then someone came, took the plates but left the dirty glasses. We then ordered drinks, when the eventually arrived, I had ordered a villa maria Blush Sauvignon. Straight away I could tell it was the white version of the wine. Which I do not like. The server, tried to gas light me and tell me it was defiantly blush he had poured it himself. We told him it definitely wasn’t. He said he could get the bottle if we wanted, he said ok. Brough the bottle over and it was an unopened blush! We said yes that’s the blush but the one poured was a white. He then said no that’s just the condensation on the glass! He said he’d give us another if we liked and we said we would like the blush that we ordered! The food came, and we were also not very impressed. My sister got the pasta Alfredo and it lasted around 8 mouthfuls there were that little on the plate! The chicken dishes, 3 bowls for 7.49, were dry. The Korean chicken came in little bowls, like the pasta, not the big black bowls that everyone else in the pub seemed to have. The kids burger was burned. On the way out my sister went to the loo, while in there a male member of staff came in to check them but literally just signed the board and went back out. One of the toilets was covered in faeces! So he 100% didn’t check. Which doesn’t give us confidence that they are checked any other time! For an establishment in Harrogate it is one of the worst we have been to and will not be returning.

Nice place, quite busy but got a table fot food. Can't grumble with Spoons.

Dropped in for a coffee. A pleasant atmosphere, not too busy.

Historic building becomes wetherspoons pub. It was fine but the bar was too long for the number of staff. There were a lot of customers but very few staff so I had to wait about 15 minutes for service.

Must be one of the grandest spoons we have visited, good atmosphere busy but quick service.

What a great building. You might not like the politics of Tim Martin but his company have put some great buildings to good use. Food worth the money. Half term week this visit and the place was rammed. Only 2 tables free on our arrival at 14.30. Food still good value and very tasty

Beautiful building. Really fast service. Great prices.

Wow, what a gorgeous place. Very ornate with fantastic architecture. Staff are very efficient and our food came quickly which was delicious.

Beautiful building, great atmosphere, value for money

VERY noisy, drinks cheap as usual. Had to return my non alcoholic cider as didn't taste right, also bottle was already open when the bar person got it from the fridge. Changed it without any questions after tasting it.

Great venue which probably helps the food. Three pints with my dad and twin brother for under £7 - What's not to like 😘

Very busy and a little slow on service but everything awesome such a beautiful pub

Ordered from my table, so easy. Food delivered quickly. This particular Wetherspoons very grand. Ladies toilets on same kevel as bar, but several steps to go up to get out.

Food was good, staff were friendly and chatty and the whole place has a mint vibe about it.

Nice building however the chicken tikka masala was not the best quality on this occasion. The bread was hard and the sauce wasn't mixed well

Great atmosphere. Good service. Use the app!

Great breakfast as always however, the highlight was one of the members of staff who originated from Sao Paolo Brazil (sorry didn't get her name) who was a font of knowledge on the local area and truly adores living there. We appreciated her time and we will be visiting a few of her recommendations. A truly lovely, kind and thoughtful lady 👍

Best Witherspoons we have been to. Service was fantastic

Beautiful building with Wetherspoons affordable pricing

Great Wetherspoons experience on a Friday lunch time. Another great visit today 25th Oct. Properly cooked burgers and not burnt as is so often the case at other establishments. Keep up the good work team Winter Gardens!

Great atmosphere and the great value you come to expect from your local Wetherspoons, this one just has a wow factor, featuring some rather fancy stairs if you enter from Parliament Street, we decided to have an All Day Brunch, this was more then enough food for the price, plus the free drink included also, definitely keeps you going for the day.

Nice pub , had breakfast which was nice could do with being warmer . However good price and lovely pub .

Lovely Wetherspoons for a lovely time

Great pub in the old winter gardens.

Food always good and very reasonable, best looking Weatherspoon I have been in for sure

Good food at reasonable prices good selection of drinks and friendly service not far from the town centre plenty of parking heel chair accessible

Spoons is spoons, cheap food and cocktails, you get what you expect for the price, the building is amazing, though the steps could be tricky after too many gins 🤣

Beautiful building, service quick

What a great example of a weatherspoons. Great building and lovely location.

We go here when ever we visit Harrogate. A nice pub with nice interior. And toilets on the same floor,

Can't fault it really, Lovely building, clean with a nice atmosphere. Really impressed with the pizza and pint of Punk IPA. Really good value.

When a round of drinks for two costs £5.25 plus friendly, efficient service in a lovely environment then this is something to be enjoyed! Well done Wetherspoons!

Fantastic location, town and prices.

Cheap and cheerful, always the same where ever you go

Always a pleasure to visit this particular Wetherspoons! Such a beautiful building. The breakfast was good and staff helpful. We were a party of 11 and moved the tables to be together and a kind staff member took a group photo for us.😊

I had fish the peas weren't cooked my girlfriend had a panini there was no cheese on it the staff were good but the panini came back over cooked asthey

The opulence and atmosphere of the beautiful building was interesting . The food was good and delivered in good time. Young staff members arguing in front if customers.

Lovely building and friendly staff. Very good value for money

Lovely building, level access to the toilets as well, no huge amount of stairs (except the raised area is above the toilets).

A good weatherspoons experience. It's a tribute that they preserve such buildings at such reasonable prices.

Breakfast wasn't the best but the staff were lovely

We know if we go to a Wetherspoons we can guarantee that the food will be top notch . We ve never had a bad meal . This time , on a day trip to Ripon and Harrogate we called in the Harrogate spoons for lunch . It wasn’t rammed , we found a seat easily and placed our order at the bar . The meals , both piping hot came within 10 mins . Can’t fault that ,, We enjoyed both meals and our table was quickly cleared. The staff were busy and on the ball. Will definitely recommend.

Thank goodness Wetherspoons is there to save iconic buildings!

Very good service lovely atmosphere would definately recommend

A typical 'spoons,very busy but got served quickly at the bar but the lad serving seemed to have very little knowledge of wine and I ended up buying my wife the wrong thing (I'm not a wine drinker,so had no clue myself). Great atmosphere and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Good size Spoons, lovely building. Groubd floor toilets, good range of beers. Food hot, served quickly within 10 mins. Nice size outdoor space as well

It's a Witherspoon's, Good selection of Beers/Lagers/Ciders Soft and Alcohol free drinks, Food of a good standard, Order at Bar or if you have App you can order from your seat 👍👍👍

You get what you get at Wetherspoons - cheap drinks in pleasant venue. Saturday afternoon - absolutely heaving.

Absolute dump decor,carpets, toilets,sticky tables,needs a good clean.queues at the bar was ridiculous. Would of thought being in harrogate it would of been more upmarket than it was.

Lovely location, clean and good value. On a very busy Friday evening I got served quickly and efficiently

Went 2 days in a row, and the difference in food was noticed. It's not the best, but not the worst the price is very good and the building is lovely. The coffee machine broke the day before and is still not working the next day. I would not be happy with your vendor as that's the main reason I visit as the lattes are very nice and cheap pay attention Costa and Starbucks self-service machines 🤣👍£8.18 for breakfast and unlimited tea and coffee. Bargain

Was here to do some vinyl shopping on a Saturday morning at the record fair nearby, so called in for a bacon butty and mug of tea x 2, which was a tenner. The venue is historic, impressive and well worth a visit for its architectural splendour alone. The Spoons value and service was the cherry on the cake. Well done. We will return!

Large wetherspoons in a beautiful building. Plenty of seats Clean Food served quickly Great staff Good prices Good outside seating area

Some of the chips were still frozen. The burger was nice though

One of the best wetherspoons I've visited. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent quick efficient staff, good fast food service and nice place. Toilets need a bit of TLC with decor, but pleased overall and busy business.

It's worth going there, even just to see the interior and space. The place looks like a former ballroom. Food average. Tomato soup (it was sour) served with a slice of toast and butter (it should have been toast). Many tables have the same number, so waiters get confused with their orders.

An excellent Witherspoon's set in the old winter garden building which is very easy on the eye, plenty of tables/ seats inside & out, only downside for me personally are the steps as they don't do my knees any favours.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere.Always busy.Good menu great prices.

It's Witherspoons pub has everything you can possibly want. Good food and cheap drink.

Very cheap but no reduction in quality.

Utterly beautiful building, used to be part of the Royal Baths. Great selection of drinks at great prices (pint of kopparberg plus pint of corona was £7.04). Staff all friendly and up for a laugh. Only downside is the car park outside is expensive, though free after 6pm. Food is the usual good value selection. Toilets are the shortest walk of any Wetherspoons I've been in

Great place for decent food and lively atmosphere.

A very nice wetherspoons, lovely setting in Harrogate with pay and display parking bays outside, free from 6pm on Sundays. The restaurant was quietly busy, and staff were efficient and polite. Tables were clean as were make & female washrooms. Would go again if in Harrogate.

Probably the grandest Wether Spoon's I've visited, plenty of seating and prompt service.

What a brilliant place food was good and the service was quick and excellent.

What can I say? You know what you get at Wetherspoons, very cheap ( compared to other places) clean, very friendly staff, overall nice place to unwind and relax.

This is an amazingly beautiful and stunning building. Not to be missed on a trail around popular sites to be seen in Harrogate. We had the opportunity to partake of a round of drinks while waiting for some inclement weather to pass. It’s worth spending a little more time in this place it rewards with revealing further the details of strong architectural and interior design
