The Inn, Harrogate

Changed hands yet again no one seems to make a go of this one. Very much a dining experience with prices to match, although casual drinkers are welcome. Mostly laid out with square wooden tables even at the banquette seating, there are a couple of tall drinking tables in the middle by the counter. 3 pulls with on this visit Timothy Taylors Knowle Spring, Black Sheep Bitter, and the third blank, there’s also 8 solo keg taps. Plain refined decor, gentle jazz type sound track. The car park is chargeable as it used to be used as an informal park & ride but if you enter your reg number in the bar it’s free to patrons.

Now leased by the Seafood Pub Co and expensively refurbished in 2017 after a number of failed attempts to make the place pay. An open plan restaurant style place, four pulls two working with an Ilkley beer & Wainwright, the Ilkley was fine although the service was a bit hit & miss. Nicely renovated in modern style, not as corporate as the Marstons and Greene King equivalents and more up market. Accommodation available and the food isn't just seafood.
