Reviews in Harrogate

Every time we come down to visit my son in Harrogate we pay the Empress a visit. The food is the best home cooked roast I have tasted. Dog friendly too.

Food was average, wrong potatoes used for chips (probably the cheapest potatoes) and came out mahogany colour, fish very oily. Bar staff did not asked who was next so served people who came after us before us, it's nice to feel invisible. Won't return

Had an amazing meal food was lovely and omg the portion size was large what a lovely pub will defo be back

I had a fabulous birthday lunch yesterday. Excellent food service and wine 100% recommend The Inn at South Stainley Simon and the team were excellent Thank you

6 of us came for food yesterday. Food was perfect ,no complaints at all, friendly staff ,lovely pub and Boris the dog kept the kids amused, a nice addition, I'm sure we will be back again soon .

Absolutely superb food especially the home made chips.

Lovely food & huge portions!

My husband had the Thai fishcake to start followed by the Steak pie which he enjoyed. I had the garlic chicken. I thought it lacked garlic and the spinach and potato it was placed on was rather burnt with an acrid taste, disappointing to say the least.

Pros- 6 of us had main meals here 1/6/24 3 had desert. All thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the portions were great and vfm was about average. Cons- a wedding was taking place so it was quite busy with people walking past us constantly setting up the buffet upstairs, the dj propped the door open while bringing in all her equipment which made 2 of our party quite cold, there was a dog in the bar which was fine apart from it barking a lot and no effort to move it or get it to quiet down. The worst thing was though, after we had all finished our meals our empty plates were not cleared for at least an hour, half were cleared when the deserts arrived and the rest only cleared when the desert dishes taken away.

Great food, well cooked and generous portions. The calves liver was cooked to perfection and he steak and ale pie on top form as usual. We will no doubt be back over the summer when the next birthday is due

On a very busy Sunday afternoon, we visited the world’s end for a late lunch. Even though it was very busy, the staff were absolutely fantastic very professional working very hard to serve everyone. We were advised we might need to wait 30 minutes for food, but actually it came within 15 minutes. Good quality pub food on a sunny Sunday afternoon

A very lovely lunch yesterday. What a steak and ale pie! A friendly, happy atmosphere with excellent service. Thank you.

Had a lovely meal at the Royal Oak last Friday 10th May. We were looking for good food reasonably priced and this certainly met our expectations. We were told that one of the main courses took a little longer to cook so we knew not to expect our meals pronto, great as all freshly prepared. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic village pub with ample space and car parking. Great food, with good portion sizes and a good menu selection. Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff .

Fantastic steak & ale pie !! Would highly recommend this lovely , charming pub.

Lovely afternoon tea with my husband. A decadent start to our short break. We stayed at the hotel 2 nights. Pleasant, good location and staff. Clean room and good buffet breakfast included. We recommend.

Absolutely delicious meal and good service as always
