The Staveley Arms - Harrogate

What a find! Impeccable food and service. The menu is varied and interesting without being overwhelming. The decor cosy but understated and very slightly minimalist.

First time we've been here and will certainly be dining here again. Food and service excellent.

The pub is lovely when all lit up from the outside. Lovely log burners in the bar and part of the restaurant. Staff all very friendly and extremely helpful. Food was lovely but selection very limited. The big downside for us was the section closest to the road in the restaurant, it was very cold with no heating. We asked to move into the main area which was lovely closer to the log burner. Unfortunately we couldnt move as there was a large dog right next to an empty table for 4!!! Downside to dogs in restaurant areas which impacted on us and our 9 year son. My wife had to wear her coat in the end.

Excellent homemade steak and ale pie, with triple cooked chips. Sandwich from lunchtime menu was very generous. Beer was good.

Excellent food and service. Will be there again soon.
