The best restaurants in Knaresborough King James Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

I’m so glad that there was a free table at this busy cafe. The staff were really welcoming and helped me choose a treat, we had a chat about the interesting and exciting range of cakes and I had a browse through the Thirteen cookbook that is on sale here whilst enjoying my coffee. This cafe is everything an independent should be - welcoming, lively and inspiring. It’s really hard to choose a cake when you get to the counter (they all looked delicious) but I was really impressed with the gorgeous ginger slice - delicious and really suited to a cold winter day in Knaresborough. The coffee was also excellent. This is a busy cafe, so not really suitable for sitting with a laptop or having a long meeting, it’s more suited to a catch up with friends for a treat. Don’t walk past - if you see a free seat go inside!

After lunch, we made a bee-line to hear to indulge our sweet-tooth. The queue was worth it. I opted for the biscoff and liquorice flavours - creamy and a generous  portion. Well worth a visit, so make sure you visit and enjoy everey mouthful.

Arrived and seated fast. Home cooked tasty food, very full afterwards even though all the sweets looked amazing. Lots of specials available too

Always a delight to visit the station cafe in Knaresborough ! Great owner and staff who always give you a warm welcome . A lot of railway memorabilia adds to the character ! Sausage sandwich went down very well and kept me going while I further explored the town ! Highly recommended ! 😊

Tom and his team looked after our family extremely well. We would highly recommend using this venue if you are organising a small event/gathering. The service was brilliant alongside the food selection and range of drinks.

Waited 30 minutes for a very simple order - soup and bread - but it never arrived.

I went to the Christmas dinner,it was superb,great host's.Really friendly and so much food.Excellent time was had by all.very welcoming.

Mao's Thai take away was a massive treat, but due to conflict between landlord and tenant closed now, a real shame.

Got 3 rolls which were amply filled and 3 fresh cream jam doughnuts. All very tasty. We also got some huge danishes and a Belgian bun. We had them as dessert after our dinner and were super fresh still after being in a bag in the van for over 6 hours. Would visit again.

Enjoyed our Christmas turkey dinner here today. Very good value for money. Lovely, friendly service and a warm Christmas welcome. We felt well looked after and the meal was very good. A relaxing, welcoming occasion. Thank you

Tha food was amazing the fried cooked the food to perfection the waitresses looked after us so well Nicola Vila and Sarah was amazing just to say we will be coming back and thanks

VERY rude service by old white-haired man. Told us where to sit in a more or less empty room, when I went to sit at a different empty table he barked "I've not wiped that table, that's why I told you to sit there!!" ...... not used to being spoken to like a dog! (The table was completely clear and not dirty!). Shameful, someone needs better customer service training, nasty old man! The young girl that was on service with him, however, was more than polite and the food was tasty. Such a shame this senile grinch ruined the experience!

Good honest food. Freshly cooked and delicious! Staff friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Just had a fabulous meal at this lovely place. Great freshly cooked food, good sized portions and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Can only give it a 1 star as we didn't stay after we had travelled 2hrs in our motorhome and had pre booked a parking space. Upon arrival in the congested and compact car park with a caravan parked and a mobile food van it was very difficult to A, Navigate the car park and B, Find a pitch. It's advertised on Motorhome Web sites and there's even a video showing numerous motorhomes parked up but unfortunately we were unable to see where we would be placed. I went into the pub and explained that I had infact booked a space. The lady said " Oh we'll move a car." I politely declined as I felt the car park was far too congested to safely leave our vehicle . I understand the car park is free but having pre booked and travelled it was more than an inconvenience.
