Latest Harrogate hotel reviews
This is a typical Wetherspoon's pub, but what makes it different is that it's housed in the Winter Gardens building. A place that was originally built next to the Royal Baths as somewhere visitors could stroll or relax in any weather. In the 1920's people relaxed here to music played on a grand piano. In the 1930's they were entertained by the Municipal Orchestra.
Today the place still retains much of its original architecture, particularly the stone steps that lead from the entrance to the bar area. It certainly was an enjoyable place to stop and have a drink.

Set in the former Winter garden theatre and still retains a lot of the original architecture with grand stone steps leading from the entrance to the bar area.A modern outdoor area a very large indoor seating area make this the grandest JD Wetherspoons i have visited so far.Staff were very friendly and quick to serve even on this busy bank holiday.
Harrogates former royal baths included the Winter Gardens,which were built so that visitors could relax and stroll in any weather,its name lives on in this Wetherspoon pub.
During the 1920's people could relax here amoung potted palms,listening to music from a grand piano.in the 1930's the municipal orchestra played every morning throughout the year,with free admission to the patients of the baths.
Favorite Dish: I had burger and chips which comes with a free drink of your choice and also had onion rings,very good.

Betty’s is a Harrogate institution. Although it is expensive the food is delicious and the service very good. The atmosphere is of an old English tearoom with afternoon teas a speciality.
Favorite Dish: A fat rascal [a really large friut scone with jam and cream.

The Old Bell is basically split in to two sections.
Downstairs is a good, old fashioned pub with plenty of real ale to choose from but I went for a bottle of Deliriums Tremens Belgian beer. It also has a good selection of bar food.
The pub area includes memorabilia from when the building was a toffee shop.
Upstairs is the brassiere. You can order drinks from the downstairs bar or the brassiere offers wine by the bottle and glass.
The website (see below) includes a full menu.
Favorite Dish: I started with warm hog, black pudding and potato salad (£5.95) I'll order anything if it has black pudding! It was served with a mixed green salad in a mustard flavoured dressing and came with a basket of bread and butter
Main course was marinated duck breast with a red wine juice, mixed vegetables and potatoes. (£13.95) There were several things on the menu I fancied but I have duck very rarely and I definitely wasn't disappointed.
I'm not one for desert, I've never had much of a sweet tooth but I somehow managed to save a spot for a rum and raison cheesecake. This was fantastic. A really sloppy, runny rum and raison sauce on a biscuit base....the diet can start next week!
All in all a great meal.

People come from far and wide to say that they have been to Bettys, and pay well for it, a fat raskel is a famous cake. Bettys have tea rooms in York and Ilkley.

Favorite Dish: Fish and Chips - Haddock is best. For appetizer, the tomato and mozzarella salad is a treat, and you must have the smoked salmon.
