    Terrible service from head of house-he was rude, aggressive and clearly would rather we were not there. We booked a table for 8.15 and arrived late at 8.21 - we were time the kitchen shut in 9 minutes so if we didn’t order in next 9 minutes we couldn’t eat. There are ways of speaking to customers and approaching a late arrival- all be it 6 minutes, but his manner was so poor I would have walked out but I was treating a guest and didn’t want to let them down. The rest of the waiters were delightful and attentive and the found was nice, but he ruined what should have been a great evening.

    Third time that we’ve eaten here and every time it’s been spot on. Great food (Sunday roast was delicious) and excellent customer service - very polite and attentive staff. Thanks - we’ll be back when we’re next visiting Harrogate.
