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.

Surprisingly quiet on Easter weekend. Friendly staff. Hearty rather than gourmet cooking with generous portions and good chunky chips.

Love the Empress, so friendly and the Sunday carvery was amazing beautiful food, the Yorkshire pudding is to die for and such a massive choice, great idea to have different size plates for oap and kids at great prices, also popped in for lunch mid week, sandwich in choice of bead, chips and salad a meal in its self, its now our preferred pub to go to when we take our dad out, and as a bonus we can take our dog, what's not to like,

A really great Carvery. Excellent range of sides, and the vegetarian option is brilliant - it's simply a carvery but without meat, and obviously a good deal cheaper- tbh even as someone who misses meat, it was always the sides I was there for, so pile that plate high! They have a few sides that rotate and so there's usually a different option available, and everything is really delicious. The Empress is a lovely pub with a great traditional "local pub" vibe, their quiz nights and discos are really popular and I love visiting there with friends or my young family, and sometimes I even get to go there for grown up time!

Went for the Sunday Carvery which was lovely with great food, good drinks and an enjoyable environment. Enjoyed it many times before and will do again.

Love the Empress they are such a professional and friendly true pub gang. I was slightly disappointed the full menu wasn’t on when I came with family to watch the Six Nations. But even their share platters of bacon and cheese chips, nachos, chicken wings were exactly the right finger food for an event. Kids loved it. Also celebrated a birthday and was made to feel so special and welcome. Also a lovely crowd. Thank you.

First time I've been for a while. Not too bad. Had Gammon and Lamb. Gammon was nice but could not eat the Lamb as was too chewy. Pork crackling was soft and chewy. Not crispy. Very good selection of veg and trimmings. Yorkshire puddings were large and good. If you ask for 2 its not a problem. Maybe an off day for the Lamb, but spoilt it for me.

Nice place to meet up with family for lunch before attending the funeral of a family member. Parking is easy (you need a disc, we used our Cumbria council one). Good choice of food for different requirements, one vegan, 2 veggies and 3 omnivores! Huge portions of fries went down well. And best for us - dogs are welcome. And ours LOVED the Stray with all its squirrels.
