About The Empress

The Empress is a fine old Grade II-listed pub on The Stray in Harrogate. It’s surrounded by beautiful parkland with a beer garden to the rear and outside seating in front. Inside it combines modern décor with a traditional pub feel and has four large screens showing all sporting events, a pool table and darts. Food is served daily from 12 noon until 9pm (6pm Sundays) and you can expect traditional pub grub alongside Daily Specials and a ‘Magnificent 7’ offer for smaller appetites. The pies here are legendary, as is the Sunday Carvery, and for drinkers there are four cask ales plus a choice of wines and gins. The free function room is available for weddings, birthdays and all kinds of events with space for 50 seated or up to 100 standing. A quiz night too every Thursday.

4 of us (family) visited yesterday for Sunday Lunch (19/10/25). Haven't been for quite a while but was still pleased at the quality and choice of the carvery. Well done Empress - "I'll be Back".

Had some very good quality meals when having lunch at the Empress recently. Very generous portions, excellent food, and not at all expensive. The ales were good as well. Highly recommended!

Lovely place for Sunday dinner carvery and always good. Sometimes busy if Town are playing so worth booking for Sunday Lunch. Other menus look good too.

We had not been to the Empress for several years, but we thought we would give it a try for lunch with a friend. So glad that we went as the food was excellent, freshly cooked to order, and the portions were huge. (Try the fish and chips!) I can definitely recommend the place and we wouldn't hesitate to go again.

There were 7 in my party and there was not a single negative comment (which was unusual in itself) The choice in the carvery was the best I have ever had (At least 5 meats) We will have no doubts about calling again if we go to Harrogate.

Food- amazing. Our second visit- I had scampi and got loads! Everyone else had great portions. The only minus points were, both last time and this time, it took ages for them to clear our plates away, last time it wasn’t done until we left. Also, we had our dog with us and we love going to a dog friendly pub but again, last time and this time there was a dog at the bar barking a lot and I guess the owner is a regular or works there as there was no effort made to quiet it. All other dogs in bar, (at least 5) all beautifully behaved though.
