The best restaurants serving British food in Ouseburn Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

We have been twice recently with friends. Both times had a really good meal. Food cooked to perfection and portion sizes just right. If you want a plate of mediocre food, piled high and falling over the sides of it, this isn’t the place for you. If you want well sourced ingredients, superbly cooked, that pleases the palate and the eye, and leaves you feeling full but not stuffed, this is the place to try.

First class amazing sausages always get my meat from them cafe to fab shop

Went on a wet Wednesday in October, cheered up as soon we entered. Whether full or quieter The Alice always has a cosy welcoming atmosphere and is always immaculate. Food is fabulous. We started with Thai/Korean flavoured fried cauliflower a littler different, bursting with flavour . My main was a perfectly cooked (for me) medium+ breast of duck presented with a "pot" of peas, onions ,lardons and duck together with perfectly cooked chips, it is terrific dish. The other half (who eats like a mouse) had a second starter as a main; scallops with pork belly with a side of honey roasted beetroot all of which she really enjoyed and thought the combination worked really well. No room for puds, but we did enjoy a fairly priced nice bottle Negromaro from the extensive wine and thoughtful wine list which which puts many 5 star hotels to shame. The young front of house team are very professional; informed and friendly. Simply the best dining pub we know by far

We visit anchor at whixley on a Saturday for the carvery once every 4 to 6 weeks and have done so for a few years now. It,s always been unbeatable quality BUT today was terrible. The portion of Pork was small and tough and half of what was on my plate was pure tough fat. (See photo) So disappointed never had this before and may give it a miss in a few weeks spread our wings and give somewhere else a go.
