I googled a place that had beer and a garden in Harrogate and up popped this little gem. 5 ales on pump and a few good lagers as well as some lovely gins - it was a great place for us. Good track and trace using a QR code, which meant no pen to touch which is great too. Small front and back gardens, we were in the back which was lovely and very well spaced. The beer (according to my other half) was excellent and their gin range was not too wide ranging (thank goodness!) but had something that would suit most gin drinkers. Lovely, chilled atmosphere and it seemed like the chaps serving us really enjoyed what they were doing. We liked it a lot.

Small and welcoming Independent bar run by Husband and Wife team, Jack and Han. Rotating beers, 3 cask and 8 keg lines ranging from DDH ipas to imperial porters to pilsner and cider we have something for all. Wines and cocktails also served. Dog friendly. Focussed mainly on local snacks, breweries and spirits. Environmentally friendly, limiting waste and plastic use.

We came here for some lunch as the Yorkshire tapas menu was right up our street. We were greeted by friendly staff and regulars. There was a great range of beers and Gins but the food was something else. All of it was super tasty well cooked and presented. We were also treated to some free cheese croquets as one of our dishes was slightly delayed (we didn’t mind With it being tapas!) we were super greatfull and the croquets turned out to be my favourite dish they tasted Devine. Would highly recommend to all. Already wondering if we have time to pop back in tomorrow before we head home. Excellent views too if your sat in the window.

Table bookings only for eating and drinking. Lovely pub with large outdoor terrace in beautiful countryside just outside Harrogate. A 10 minute drive from RHS Garden Harlow Carr and a short walk from Almscliffe Crag (wear walking boots). Good food freshly prepared and an excellent range of beers, wines and non-alcoholic drinks.

We took my visiting father for a meal on a Thursday evening and all felt that the quality of the food and really friendly, attentive service made it the best pub meal we can remember in recent times. Great job on every front S&Q !!
