The Worlds End in Harrogate

We have passed this pub many times & thought we will have to go there as it looks great especially on a sunny day when you vocab sit outside. We called in for a drink on a cool October evening. A pint & a large G&T that’ll be £15.25 Not cheap & the heating wasn’t on so we didn’t stay for long. We & another two were the only ones in there. There is also no parking other than the pay& display over the road. Not be rushing back.

Lovely pub , nice atmosphere and food . Very cheerful helpful servers , nice indoor and out door seating areas.

Esquisit fish and chips with quick, professional and prompt service. I have been here several times throughout the years and it has always been consistently good. 5 star 🌟

The ploughman's platter for 2 was lovely as usual and excellent value. Chips a little hard in the middle and expensive at £5.50. Good choice of beers, although not particularly cheap.

Had the stack burger today possibly the best burger weve had. Complements to the chef Friendly staff reasonable price A must visit when in knaresborough

Food was slow in coming but was tasty

Great ambience and cosy. Great value for alcohol and amazing food as well. Must go here walking. There is not much area for parking your car.

Excellent place, greAt location, food and drinks and atmosphere great as are the staff 👍

Stopped here by chance, and decided to have lunch. We had a toddler with us also, and the staff were so lovely with him. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and happy. The food was delicious. I had the hunters chicken with salad and my husband and son had the kids chicken nuggets and chips. Food was of a good quality and served so quickly. It is located in a beautiful area too. I would definitely come back here if we are in the area again.

Just popped in for a pint great day today

Foods nice and been a regular here. However after a very rude staff member with terrible customer service, tall lad. I’ll never be going again.

I had a pizza it was freshly made and honestly tasted amazing would go again if ever in the area

The chips are amazing!! Great place 😀

Chips were half cooked, tables were fairly clean but have missed the floors

Great place in a fab location,ambiance really nice and the food is lovely. When the weather is niceyou can sit outside which is a great space to do so.

Brilliant just Brilliant. Well worth a visit.

Food had finished by time we got there but I always love sitting outside or on the roof area. Nice atmosphere.

We are constantly being told that pubs are disappearing. I visited the pub around 4.30pm on 5.9.24 with my son and daughter. There were 6 patrons in the place. I ordered the drinks. 1 25cl apple juice, I pint orange cider, 1 medium glass Chardonnay. Price £15.83! With prices like this, why does it surprise licencees that customers stay away? I asked the barman if he wanted my name and address, he asked me why, to which I replied, "So you know where to send the share certificates!"

The steak and ale pie was amazing. cheerful staff. A must to if you are visiting knaresboro and fancy some food.

Went here with family whilst on a day out in Knarsborough. Food was amazing, good home cooked food with fresh vegetables. The large portions of food were flavourful and cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pub has lots of character too. I couldn't find a single fault with our visits here, loved it!

After a morning exploring this lovely town and decided to have a family meal and the pub with great outside seating area was voted as the choice. The staff were very polite & helpful and helpful with a babe chair. As we chose from the menu three of our family went for the fish & chips two chose lasagne. Al five came with chip and sorry to say we all agreed the chips soggy & greasy. So rather a disappointed choice. Such a shame when other parts of the visit were okay. Surely when chef sees all plates had chips left on them.

Food was ok, service not good , just a bunch of kids with no interest.

Fantastic burger and cheesey chips to die for x

Great pub in a beautiful part of the country

I visited here whilst I was visiting Knaresborough. I was sceptical about going after reading the reviews, but actually, it’s really nice and I couldn’t fault it. The location is wonderful. It just about over looks the river, albeit on the very corner! But still a very prominent location. The staff were friendly. Granted, there were a few younger looking members of staff who appeared quite shy, but it’s probably their very first job and they are learning so give them a break. I certainly didn’t experience any rudeness as per the other reviews. The food was lovely. 24 quid for 2 meals and two drinks. Given the high prices in the area, I thought this was great pricing. The food arrived quickly and was very nice. The place was clean and tidy and the same can also be said for the toilets. And bear in mind that this was a visit in school holidays and it was very busy! I honestly can’t fault the place!

Lovely location and enjoyed the outdoor seating area. Ordered a burger and had to take my ticket number to an outdoor shack. Other family members had their food from the regular kitchen. Would prefer the staff to sort out the pizza ticket as I had to wait for the food longer than anticipated. Dog friendly and would visit again when in the area.

Definitely the place to go in Knaresborough for a wonderful pub meal

Lovely pub with a fantastic buzz, gets very busy at the weekends, outside area looking over the River Nidd and Viaduct, what a wonderful place to sit drink and relax.

All good no complaints at all 🙂

Pleasant setting and friendly staff.

Big pub with good food and beer

Busy pub but served quickly. Nice drink and tasty reasonably priced food. Would recommend

I had already commented to my partner that the bar staff didn't actually look at me when I ordered, even though he seemed to be a senior member of staff, but I just assumed they were busy. My sandwich then arrived on white rather than brown bread, as requested. I informed the waitress who apologised and took it away. She then brought it back and told me that my order had said white bread and that they wouldn't change it. I took the food down to the bar and explained to the senior member of staff about the confusion. He asked another staff member to change it who said the order had said white bread, stood her ground and looked away. This was said right in front of me and other customers. There was a complete lack of interest in customer service or finding out what had happened. I eventually received my correct order but we won't be going back.

WORST POSSIBLE SERVICE EVER DO NOT GO HERE !!!! Manager and staff are rude and disrespectful, we ordered food at the bar like ur supposed to do but when we got there they asked us for a table number however the table number on our table was no where to be seen so we did are best to describe where we was sat so that we would get our food correctly, after this we went and sat back down and realised we’d like to put some chips with our order so we went back to the bar and order and again and again we were asked for a table number but as we had not been told what the number was when we last ordered we was not aware what it was so again we described to them and the lady at the bar said it was table 13, this was news to us as I’d just asked a waiter and he’d said it was table 8 so now we was really confused because the guy at the bar said 12 and lady at the bar said 13 and the waiter said 8 so which one was it, we didn’t know, after so long a one of the waiters came out with a tuna jacket potato with chips we assumed was ours but he’d gone to the table in front of us which said it wasn’t there’s, so he went back up to double check and as he was coming back one of the other tables went up to him and claimed it as there’s ( which it wasn’t ) then the rest of our food came but now we was missing one of our meals all because the tables weren’t numbered, the waiter came out 5 minutes later with another tuna jacket potato and another dish for the table that took ours to which when he offered the tuna jacket potato they said it wasn’t there’s as they had there’s wasn’t the case because they’d taken ours, my mum went up to the waiter to interrupt so that my nan could actually have something to eat cus now we’d been waiting ages and told him he’d given them ours instead, he got really aggressive and said no i didn’t when we’d clearly seen him do so, he then said I’ll go get u some more chips, after all this agro what I presume was the manager came out I say presume because she acted like a child and was so disrespectful and rude and arrogant not sure you could class her as a manger definitely should not have that title as she is definitely not fit for the job, she came over admitted that the chips and everything was a mistake and asked us to explain what had happened so my mum directly told her what had happened and then she kept saying stop being rude to my mum stop being stop being rude, my mum was not being rude she was speaking clearly and directly and explaining what was going on, my mum explained that was no table numbers and explained all the confusion, to which she was like all the tables are number to which we replied with where and she pointed to this scribbled on barely viable felt tip pened number that said supposedly 13 look more like three as the one was practically worn away which is to be expected from a table outside, she then kept repeating that everyone makes mistakes and told my mum to stop being rude which was outrageous after the way she was speaking and then she stormed off like toddler and my mum told her to stop being to which she shouted u stop being rude, what an absolute disgrace I’ve never known a place be so inconsiderate and so rude from a manager, like I work in hospitality and my manager would never speak to someone the way she spoke to my mum regardless of how the guest is speaking, she didn’t offer any free drinks or a refund even tho the order was completely messed up or even apologise for their mistake

Food, treatment and correct prices. Very good views and atmosphere of the place. They have both inside and outside tables with views of the river and the viaduct. It is advisable to reserve although there are usually no problems.

I love it here, I live in knaresborough so I love going here and food is always fantastic! Harvey is a young chap that worked there clearing tables etc is a lovely friendly chap ... Great service 10/10

NY Smokehouse provided 4 of the best ever burgers I have ever tasted. A young team but so friendly, passionate and I think Elesia who was cooking the burgers simply amazing. Will definitely be back for those burgers. Well done team 👍

Popped in for a couple of beers and some lunch, awful. Came when it first changed hands and it was terrible then, thought we’d give it another go, even worse. The food was terrible, 2 steak pies, one didn’t contain any meat, a hunters chicken which was appalling, it must’ve been sat on mars for the afternoon, it was dry, tasted gopping. The chips were soggy and appeared to have been cooked in filthy oil. One of my friends ordered a pizza, this arrived after the rest of us had finished and ready to leave. The service was shocking. Arrogant, cocky and rude bar staff. I’m into music, new and alternative but I have never heard anything like the drivel that they had playing, so bad. not great at anytime but especially on a Friday afternoon in knaresborough. The place is dirty, really grubby. The only thing that this place has to offer is the location outside. A shame. Could be amazing.

Scorching afternoon in the beer terrace , with an added bonus of a one off bit of a view! Wish I had taken a photo.

I was simply amazed by the mediocre food here and the very rude and rude staff. I had to wait for more than an hour for a pizza and hamburger. It was amazing! After waiting for an hour, I couldn't help but push for an order, and the male clerk looked fiercely at the customer as if he was about to fight. It's really...😅What an amazing work attitude👍🏻Please continue to have such a work attitude. Business is booming 😉

Great place for a works do! Lovely outside area with pizza oven. Staff great very attentive and created a lovely atmosphere

You can eat delicious pizza here

Long waiting time for food, but they don’t really taste good. Most importantly, horrible attitude of the staff. So rude. Even the staff don’t know the table number. So ridiculous

Good value food and plenty of outdoor seating areas.

Lovely pub, bar staff had attitude problems maybe just an off day

Quick pint after visiting Mother Shipton.

Great place to go for a drink or a good lunch - we had the sausage & mash and burgers which were all top notch!

Visited this pub as staying in village and going to Yorkshire Show nice atmosphere and service and staff lovely returned the second night decided to have food had to pay for food before it was served . It was truly terrible unfit to eat the chips were black they had been burned and the sausages uneatable they fish was disgusting and undercooked and my husbands egg mango was like something I never saw before must say most of the food was left untouched don't bother ordering food though bar and staff lovely

Visited midweek at 4pm, bar staff great, steak and ale pie was really tasty.

Lovely friendly pub with great views over the river .

Conveniently located near the main car park in Knaresborough, it's not my aesthetic in all honestly, it's a very old pub with that strong beer smell, it was just the nearest place that did food but they knew how to make a fish finger sandwich and staff are brilliant very attentive and professional

Called in today for the first time and last time. It was around 14:00 two members of the bar staff very rude, arrogant and extremely abrupt. Guy in his 30s and a blonde woman wearing a white top. Avoid unless you like being spoken too like dirt

Pub was brought to life by the gorgeous Sophie behind the bar 😁👍

Loved the food here! If anyone's visiting Knaresborough this is a very safe and good option! The atmosphere is very lovely and the pizza and burgers are made fresh on the spot.

The establishment is situated in a picturesque location, offering outdoor seating for people to enjoy during favorable weather conditions. However, it experiences significant foot traffic during weekends and public holidays, particularly when the weather is pleasant. The establishment is characterized by its welcoming ambiance, courteous staff, and delectable culinary offerings. I was particularly impressed by the expeditious delivery of food despite the establishment's high occupancy. The only challenge lies in securing a table during peak periods, especially during the summer season. Nevertheless, we managed to obtain a table within a reasonable timeframe of ten minutes. Additionally, the establishment is pet-friendly, which is a commendable feature.

The pizza and burgers take 2 hours to arrive, and the tables are not always clean. Despite having 99 people working here, it's still confusing who is responsible for what and how to get your order.

The service was fine. Nice range of drinks. The open mic was pleasant to listen to as we had a quiet drink. The location of the pub is obviously very good; being on Knaresborough waterside

After a walk down the river and a browse round Knaresborough Worlds End was the ideal place to recharge batteries and being dog friendly was ideal for us. We were warmly welcomed on arrival by the bar maid . Food and drink ( and treat for dog) were easy to order and baguettes arrived in good time. Both were well prepared , were of good portion size,( enough for my partner to take home a doggie bag) and very tasty.

Fabulous pub and great atmosphere.

Good friendly service, food very good and sensible priced

Loved this place, fantastic location with great outdoor areas, when the weather is nice this is a great place to be.

Our first visit to this wonderful pub . Called in on the off chance to have lunch and was more than welcome Orderd 4 meals which was very quickly served and the food was excellent and all home cooked. Proper home made chips . Very reasonable priced . Lovely beer garden to sit in and enjoy the views of the river. Recommend a visit .I

Fabulous pub, good food, dog friendly

Great pub with good atmosphere, well worth a visit.

A very mixed bag, the service from the bar staff is pretty poor, not made to feel welcome at all. The food can be fantastic, the burgers and pizzas which are only available on certain days (not clear when) are fantastic but the main menu is pretty dire, went for the steak and ale pie which was very over priced considering it was a thin layer of pastry on top and the inside was just gravy, think I found one chunk of steak in the entire pie, very poor. Beer garden is certainly the best part about the place.

Nice pub food, in a good location. It was a Saturday afternoon on a reasonably fair day in early April, so it was fairly busy. We did manage to get a small table in the corner as a couple were just leaving. My friend had a couple of pints, which he said were decent. I had a couple of lattes, these were also good. We both had steak pie and chips, the pie was served in a ramakin style bowl and was tasty, and also a generous portion, with homemade chips. We both enjoyed everything the food and our visit, the only cons were we felt we paid probably £2 too much for the food (not a big deal considering the location) and the staff were all very young, so customer service although adequate, was not of a high standard.

Great pub Great outside space with awsome views and the choice of beers is fantastic

Stopped here multiple times whilst enjoying the town of Knaresborough. Always a friendly gesture upon entry, and I've enjoyed having a good pint every time. Good looks to be very good, though I've never stayed long enough to give it a try. A good place to stop while in town.

Great location situated right by the River Nidd. Stopped for a couple of drinks after a bit of a walk round Knaresborough Castle and along the river. Nice outdoor patio area with tables an benches. Dog friendly, although some were yapping a bit too much.

Fabulous setting & Great service, plus the food was superb really tasty & at very reasonable prices too! Lovely view from the beer garden

It's a smashing place to visit for a meal with the family or just a drink A lovely friendly pub

Lovely old pub with good ordinary food, not fancy over priced rubbish with tiny portions which seems to be the norm these days. We will return.

Enjoyed a couple of beers and two fantastic handmade pizzas. Also, the person that cooked our pizza was happy to pass on his expertise and experience for our own pizza making at home. Definitely returning here !

We parked just over from here, to go to mother shiptons cave and had already been told to try the pub by friends. We got there just after 11am, so it was quiet and had a choice of seats. There is plenty of seating outside to the side of the pub and on a terrace above the pub. Great views. I had the fish finger sandwich and my wife had the hunters chicken. You get so much food and it's so filling. Skin on chips were very nice and our mini schnauzer also appreciated the ones he got. Fish fingers were huge, photo will show that. Plenty of choice to suit everyone and highly recommend the pub. You can also walk alonh the river from the pub, to try and burn off some of the calories.

A really nice looking pub with a new extension. Loads of outdoor seating and an outdoor pizza oven. It was very busy here and there was only one poor guy serving behind the bar so it took us 15 minutes to get served. Got served san Miguel in an Estrella glass. I liked the pub but you dropped a star for these two issues. I will definitely come back, hopefully in summer then I can sit in the lovely outdoor space.

To eat ir just for a drink, after a walk, it was very nice.

Pizza dough basically raw, toppings poor quality. Highly not recommended to eat pizza in this place. Nice beer garden with amazing view

Nice pub and very busy but wrong their planning to serve.

Outside grills burgers are banger...accompanied with cold beer 5 star

Lovely pub and the pub food was lovely but I ordered a burger from the kitchen outside where they do pizzas as well And it took a very long time what I don’t mind but when it got to me it was freezing after been sat on the side for half an hour I never complain when I go owt for food and eat everything but this burger was disgusting

Cozy place near a beautiful nature trail with visionary visit

I had pizza at this place that ended up being a total tourist trap due to its location. It was overpriced for what you get, and to make things worse, the dough was still raw and I even found a hair in it. Plus, they used that industrial mozzarella you see in all the cheap takeaways around England, not the good stuff. Honestly, it was a letdown, and I wouldn't recommend going there, at least the draft beer was good

Sat outside to enjoy lunch after a lovely walk around Knaresborough. Beat the queue and managed to find a nice table outside in the sunshine before the lunch-time rush arrived, due to it's prime location beside the River Nidd the pub does get VERY busy. Enjoyed a cold cider and then had a warm cheese and ham baguette with a portion of the most delicious chips I have ever had! My partner had sausage and mash and said it was very tasty. Would really recommend popping in for lunch!

Nice situated ,decent ambience Staff not great ,food very poor . Alright for a swift drink and chat but don't eat here ,food was really low quality

If you like dog fights, nappies on tables and staff walking around every single table asking if you have ordered despite the fact the tables are numbered. Come on down. My lady and I asked for a tequila shot. They wouldn't accommodate us even though you can order whisky straight up. The best part was when the bar staff tried to pull pints across each other and dropped the glasses. My pint was flat even though it was in a nucleated glass. Don't bother

Amazingly helpful staff good service in a beautiful setting

Food not so good,had fish and chips the fish was soo greasy Cound not eat it

Awful visit, 1st & last time, once was enough. Rude staff, very expensive, no atmosphere. Cashing in on a regular scooter rally to the area.

Very busy at lunch. Food good and fairly priced. Bar staff rushed off feet with orders but waiting staff serving food were toung and wete stood around twiddling their thumbs most of time.

Stopped here for a quick drink before heading to station. Walked in and seemed pleasant. Woman behind bar said we can sit at reserved tables as they weren’t expecting people till a few hours later. We sat the table and it was filthy. Table was sticky and smudged. Dirty napkins and food on the floor. Staff seemed to be young teenagers, around 16 years old all stood around. Hard to spot which of the children were staff given them all wearing various brands in black clothing, no sort of uniform. A child stood outside the door leading to the beer garden and urinated on the steps. Large puddle of urine not cleaned up by staff. People just stepping in the puddle. A child from a table walked up to a family eating, bent over and farted on their dog. Child kept exclaiming he farted on the dog. Stunk the place out. Kid then walked away as if nothing happened. Someone in the beer garden ordered drinks and their payment failed. The staff kept shouting throughout the pub the payment failed and to find the guy. Won’t be returning at all.

Great bar , very friendly staff only had garlic bread and cheesy chips but they were excellent

Great pub and lots of sitting space. Food is good and it's Pet friendly. Space outside when the weather permits!!

Great British pub in a good location dog friendly nice staff

Visited for a late lunch after a long walk, staff were lovely. The male member of staff was helpful behind the bar and the guy making the burgers and pizzas was fab as he stayed to make our food. Food portions are huge and all home made. Such good quality.

Great food Good value for money

Stopped off here after a long walk. Had a lovely welcome from the very friendly bar maid and an absolutely gorgeous steak pie meal. The chips were spot on and the pie delicious.

Nice place to have a drink,didn't have food so couldn't comment

A quirky English pub with a well situated outdoor seating area overlooking the river. There's also teepee covered area and outdoor pizza oven.

Great place for coffee and bite to eat. Friendly staff, plenty of space. Dog friendly..

Absolutely fabulous (dogs friendly) place, friendly staff and great, tasty food.
