Slingsby's Harrogate

Great outdoor and indoor spaces, dog friendly. Friendly and professional service. The three egg omelette was fantastic, with an option of toast or salad. The full English breakfast was excellent, quality ingredients, my only niggle was that it was desperate for some tomatoes on that plate. Americano was excellent and strong, the tepid cappuccino a little weak and oddly had sugar sprinkled on top.

Seen here on a previous stay at the travel lodge and remembered to not book the mass produced breakfast they offer and to try here. Ok so it cost a little more, but the quality of the produce was great, staff were really friendly and the place had regular locals drop in. Glad I made the decision to try it, and will do again on future stays.

If you are a Gin Lover, here is a place for you. Go prepared to spend more than expected. The Spirit of Harrogate store and experience is located in the historic Montpellier Quarter of Harrogate. You can enjoy two unique gin experiences including distilling your own personalised bottle of gin on one of their mini copper stills. It is very tempting not to taste with the amazingly helpful and friendly blond lady willing to help and describe the flavours according to your taste. A must visit place in Harrogate. The parking facilities are adequate but do not forget to display your ticket the council, quite right, will not let you stay withouth charging you.

This slightly out the way cafe is worth a visit if you are an early riser like me. On a Sunday it opens its doors at 8am. The youthful staff are chatty, down to earth and attentive. The interior is really cool and comfortable. The owner once worked for Michelin. The company, built on high standard standards grips its influence on the retro cues throughout. Checkout upstairs if you would like to sample an even more relaxed, mellow yellow vibe.
