The interior of Carriages of Knaresborough is olde and quaint (as befits this small medieval North Yorkshire town). Its segmented dining spaces (outdoors as well as in) give you the sense of being in a cosy room, even though it is – overall – quite a large restaurant. On our visit last night, there were three menus to select from: ~ seafood – two courses @ £24.00 ~ a la carte – two courses @ £24.00 ~ tapas Amuse bouche – smoked guineau fowl taster We ordered a bottle of Foxwood Viognier dry white wine @ £22.50 and a Crianza red @ £23.00 while reading the menu options, and were served an amuse bouche (‘mouth amuser’, a bite-sized hors d’œuvre compliments of the chef) of smoked guinea fowl (beautifully presented on a slate but too smoked and richly intense to be really enjoyable) and a basket of breads. Scallops + pulled pork starter Whitby crab with poppadum starter Setting aside the tapas menu, we all ordered two courses @ £24.00 from the seafood menu...
Nice little spot with staff who are very helpful. We went with a big party and think we pushed them to their limits with the amount of servings they could do at once. But they did well and the food came out in a decent amount of time. It seemed to be all freshly prepared and tasted really good. The veggies were a little different with nice sweet carrots and parsnips. The cut of pork was different to what you often get and one I much preferred, possibly belly with some great flavour. One pork was a bit dry but others were good.
We sat out the back which was a nice area that had the train station over the back so the kids got very excited every time a train pulled up which was nice. The dogs enjoyed themselves as well. All in all a very nice experience.
Had the best Sunday Roast here, absolutely delicious and huge portions, really couldn’t fault it! Lovely staff and service, highly recommend if in the area. Our dog was very welcome too. We loved it!
That was probably the best meal I had in the area, service is great and friendly, food was absolutely gorgeous from A to Z, can’t fault anything.
Had 2 starters : chorizo and arancini 10/10
2 sandwiches : chicken and steak 10/10, salad dressing gorgeous, fries great and sandwiches perfect.
Can’t fault it.
Good wine by the glass
It’s perfect with a perfect outside area with a good view, I’ll be back soon.
Me and my daughter went to have some food here. I scoped it out by pictures on Google before we went. I do that because how else I'll know what to order.
I had a good wage coming in this month so I thought to go and treat our selves.
Staff was very nice and we took the seats outside right over the trainline. Wish there hadn't been a strike. Would have been a cool view at the trains going underneath.
Food was great. I was jealous of my daughters burger. It was amazing. Chips vere out of this world.
We had to leave earlier than I wanted because of wasps.. But there is nothing that staff could have done about it.
Oh and the portions are very well sized. I eat a lot and I wasn't disappointed at all at mine or hers.
Definitely would come back again.
What an amazing find! Food is amazing.
Staff and service is fantastic. We have just moved to Knaresborough and have found our go to restaurant. We had the best table just by the open fire. Amazing you have got to try this place when in Knaresbrough.
Lovely friendly pub, fantastic food
Good beer & good offers on their wines,, Shiraz was really good,
Lovely big beer garden to the rear, bit cold this evening, but bet its great on summers day, great views of Railway that actually go's though tunnel beneath the pub,,,
Thanks to owners who were very helpful & chatty,, Good luck for your future !!! We need a bar like yours in Chester !!!!
They fitted us in at really short notice. The staff couldn't have been better. Really smiley, professional and attentive. The food was tasty, inventive and plentiful. All in all, a really great find! Charming, in spades!
Absolutely amazing home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Great background music and wonderful helpful staff. Can't praise the food enough.
Had an amazing lunch of slow roasted ox cheek and potatoes and veg with pineapple and baked ice cream for dessert. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever tasted. We will be back thank you for the excellent service and friendly warm welcome.
Was a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious and well made. We sat out the rear in the covered beer garden, which was warm where the heaters were. Later we sat in the pub to continue our lovely evening. The pub appears to be mullet-inclusive, which was nice.
