Simply and casually furnished in an imaginatively refurbished 18th century property close to the square. Service is very friendly, heavily reminiscent of the casual atmosphere in countryside Italian restaurants and not pushy. The menu is extensive in an era of increasingly limited choice and pricing is sensible. The tasty Murano lager and house Puglian red were surprisingly premium in taste and drinking enjoyment. The kitchen is open to the restaurant and a hive of co-ordinated activity. We tried a selection of seafood, Pasta and pizza dishes and very much enjoyed our dining experience here. The pizza has a delightfully thin base; the toppings are unusually generous and, crucially, fresh. It's a cut above many Italian restaurants that are now losing their individuality and flair. It's clearly a popular and regular haunt for locals - another good sign.
Our first time we have had a takeaway so I can only comment on 1 experience but we are from the Midlands, 2 starter’s 1st Fish Pakora really bad 3 pieces of small unseasoned pieces of fish in really soggy batter not nice went in bin. 2nd Sheek Kebab really tasty would love as a main course. 2 Mains 1st Special Jalfrezi, plenty of tasty meat no onions or peppers normally in a Jalfrezi, 2nd Tikka Parthia chicken nice tomatoes not cooked out. Both mains said hot but more mild to medium no spice just tomatoes in Parthia. Keema Nan bread nice but Keema minced lamb wafer thin in the middle. Can’t say if would use again because not sure if the dishes are consistent.
The fish was fresh and chunky plus the portions were a decent size. The owners were friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

The food is fantastic, slightly dated building inside. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. The restaurant is rather enclosed and becomes loud. Amazing takeaway service and just a short walk from the train or bus route.
I live in Harrogate and this is the first visit I have paid TomSlingsby’s. I visited with my daughter today (31st of January 2025) for breakfast.
I ordered a full English breakfast whilst my daughter ordered porridge with honey and we shared tea for two. May I say that the service was absolutely first class, as we were greeted by a very pleasant lady, who was the front of house and took the orders.
The the café was quite busy however we found a seat in a warm corner, on a cold day.
Our breakfast was serve fairly quickly by the chef who was very attentive and made sure that we were taken care of.
My full English breakfast was the best I have tasted in years and certainly the best breakfast I have ever eaten in Harrogate. I thoroughly recommend this café to visitors, especially those staying at the Travelodge on Tower Street, as the cafe is opposite and quite unassuming from the outside. It is located down a side street (Tower Street behind the Coach & Horses Pub on West Park) the main road entering Harrogate by the Stray open parkland.
The breakfast served looked absolutely fabulous and tasted even better than it looked (very delicious) as all the produce is locally sourced. The bacon and sausages were very tasty and served with egg, beans, mushroom hash brown and 4 halves of toast.
I will certainly be returning to Slingsby’s for a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast, well done to the staff.

"Sorry, we've none left" seemed to be the only response to our order to the waiter. The so-called prawn cocktail was bordering on inedible. Watery prawns, bland Marie Rose sauce and served with supermarket brown bread. The pie to follow was highly mediocre at best, served with completely overcooked tasteless watery vegetables. I can't recommend this place and is probably the most disappointing meal I've ever had in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
Stopped here for a takeaway brunch while on the A1 heading north. Busy cafe. Good choice, good food, well cooked. Thanks to Adam and Steve.
Certainly worth the 5 minutes off and 5 minutes on. Ample parking outside
