The best restaurants in Marston Moor Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

Lovely relaxed lunch, very good welcome and service, great atmosphere in this pub. Would have been 5 out of but have to say the starters were pricey for what was delivered the haddock main was dry and a number of items were not available on the menu.

Me and my family had breakfast here! Such a lovely warm welcome and u even bought some beautiful handmade rings The breaky was done to perfection with a perfectly poached egg and the most delicious crispy black pudding

Based on the reviews on here, my wife and I made a trip to this pub for beer and food only to find the car park blocked by concrete blocks. The pub appears closed and there’s a sign asking for new tenants so we’re assuming it’s temporarily closed.

First time eating here as we had heard they had new owners/chef recently. The food was very very good and much better than your average village pub. Really good pub classics but with everything done really well. The fish and chips I had was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their food. Service was good and overall pricing was very fair. We had the Vinho Verde wine with our meal and it was excellent.

Dreadful. I'm reading some of these reviews and noticing many have only ever wrote 1 review and that's for the OX. Could easily be fraudulent. I'll let you decide. However, what I can do is give you my one and only near death experience from eating there. I ordered the mixed grill. The presentation alone should have sent alarm bells ringing. But I let it slide and proceeded to cut some meat. Even from using a knife and fork I could smell the meat was rancid. I politely asked the young barman to bring it back in the kitchen and show the cook. He returned a minute later and said the cook did indeed agree with me that the meat had gone off! HERE IS WHERE MY PROBLEMS LAY. Surely when he opened it he must have smelt it? Failing that when he is stood over it to cook it Surely then he would have smelt it was off. If he can't smell rancid meat he shouldn't be in a professional kitchen. Maybe ge did smell it and thought he'd chance it anyway? Then he shouldn't be in a professional kitchen! Either way they are headed for serious trouble having someone without basic training but incompetence in abundance behind the stove. I would bet he's not done one day in any culinary school. Certainly not a chef thats for sure. Absolutely shocking. The barman was very apologetic and almost seemed embarrassed on the cooks behalf. He offered me an alternative meal, which is an achievement in itself to make a lasagna inedible, and once again acted very professionally. In a nutshell JUST DONT!

Read the previous review but given that the #1 in Twatwith was fully booked, we had no choice. We were setting up an offshore tax haven for a local Fish and Chip shop owner who has an amazing collection of toy cars, so it was an important meal. There seemed to be more emphasis on alcohol than food. The laminated single page A4 menu was a bit of a shock and looked to have been nibbled by dogs. Pizza was served lateish and we may have been a little drunk but there was no need for the owner to wear budgie smugglers. Just about worthy of it’s one star rating for lovely people.
