The Spotted Ox - Harrogate

Pub is under new management and is back to being the venue the village needs. Great pub food at reasonable prices. Friendly service and good atmosphere. Looking forward to the 09.00 opening for breakfast.

New management have reinvented this local pub. Food is good, service is good. I recommend the Garlic Mushrooms and the Lasagne. Looking forward to the summer with their new ideas.

Had some lovely meals here hence why I suggested we go today with family to celebrate my husbands birthday. We ordered the roast dinners and one burger, the pork was that fatty no meat to be seen , was told the beef was medium rare , unfortunately the beef was tough as an old boot , good job I only received one small slice , the potatoes were undercooked , the burger was that greasy so that couldn’t be eaten , when asked how the meal was we honestly responded , with constructive criticism. When taking the dog out for a walk around the back there were empty boxes which clearly stated booker essentials. When asked for the bill one roast dinner had been deducted, the manageress and the female bar attendant were very rude stating we had been vile and rude since we entered the pub. I am in my 60ish and never experienced being spoken to in a demeaning manner, I was advised if I put a negative review on they would remove it . Sorry to say we will not be returning again even though I am a great believer of supporting local pubs and restaurants.

Had aast minute family meal. Unfortunately the steak pie arrived and was alot smaller portion than normal. The portion of pie had been burnt around all sides, the top was so over cooked that I couldn't even cut through it. The homemade chips were nice. The fish and chips were nice, the portions could do with being bigger.

Had dinner, but my farther ordered the Fish Curry and it was nothing like I 've ever smelt befor in my life, I 'm not sure what it was but it sure didn 't smell of Fish hence we had to order something else, the smell was so bad that after 10 minutes of the plate leaving the table other customers who passed our table said and I quote whats thats smell , so if you fancy something a bit risky to eat that really dose hit all the senses, try the Fish Curry.
