The best restaurants serving British food in Nidd Valley Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

I’ve been coming to Pateley for years, and this place is getting worse. Whatever it likes to call itself, its not a pub or a restaurant or an Inn, It’s an outdoor bar/tent serving beer, with outdoor seating on tacky and sticky benches, and only serves food, through an outsourced street food caterer on Friday and Saturday nights. It has No website, just a FaceBook Page and It’s as though it’s not interested. Not much luck moving on to the Sportsman’s Arms which claims to be a pub/Hotel - that’s closed from Mondays to Wednesdays, despite the opening hours board outside the Hotel saying ‘open every day’. Its a cushy life in Yorkshire if you’re in the hospitality business.

We visited this pocket of heaven today to celebrate 40 years of being together. We had a superb meal ... absolutely perfect in every respect! Wonderful staff, a very warm welcome, excellent service and the food was outstanding. We both enjoyed the Ox Cheeks with creamy mash and buttered leeks ...mmmmm!! Thank you so much for making our visit so special and memorable.

Perfect pub! We were staying nearby for a week and so great to have a pub like this in walking distance- friendly, great beers, amazing vegan menu!! And everyone was happy in our large group (mostly non vegans)... we went 3 times in one week and all good 😊thanks!
