We stopped here for a Sunday carvery whilst out shopping. We were lucky enough to get a table as a walk in, all of the tables were reserved a number of times over the course of the day. The food was good but the price was a little on the high side. You are only limited on meat and Yorkshire puddings, the rest of the meal you just help yourself too. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere in the pub and a good selection of beverages on offer.

Food was nice, generous portions. We landed on quiz night so was busy with a friendly atmosphere. My partner forgot his jacket with our keys in. Luckily one of the barstaff was very vigilant and chased after us to return it. Many thanks and we owe that lady a drink. We'll be back.

Decent selection of beer and large food portions set on a pleasant part of the Stray. Pub of choice for match-going Harrogate Town fans (and away fans).

Quite often call here pre-match for Harrogate Town home matches. Can get Quite busy, but the staff cope well. Early KO's on big screen. Good call.

Thursday night is quiz night! Fantastic atmosphere and not at all competitive, 😂. Great fun. Always well attended. Do some charity fundraising quizzes too. Plus half time snacks 👍. Food is great - as long as you are a carnivore. Come on guys! It's the 21st century. Vegetarian customers want to eat more than a cheese and pickle pannini for dinner, even if it's served with a salad and chips 🍟🥗🙁. Bar staff always friendly. Would be happy going in here on my own for a drink, to watch a match and not feel uncomfortable.

Food was brilliant. I had the lamb burger special and the wife had the empress burger. Chips were proper chips and not frozen ones. Burgers we juicy and cooked just right. Beers were also good and the atmosphere was excellent.

Nice little courtyard garden area which is quite the sun trap in the afternoon, and plenty of seating inside. Decor is nice, everywhere is clean and the staff are friendly enough. Prices aren’t the cheapest for the area but justified enough with the setting. Decent food menu too, although I didn’t get a chance to sample any of it what I did see getting served looked good. It’s a nice enough pub and I’d happily return around when in the area.
