The Radcliffe Arms, Harrogate

A Sam Smith's pub in a two pub village with both belonging to Sam's, but oddly for Sam's quite food oriented, even taking credit cards, albeit with a 1.58% surcharge. Three elegantly decorated rooms, a formal dining room at one end, a cosy bar with posh leather armchairs in the middle and a more open bar with furniture set up for more diners at the other end. Staff nowhere to be seen when I called in at the end of lunchtime illustrating the food led nature of the place, I believe they were sorting out puddings and coffees or some such. Beer was ok but nowt special.
