The Lilypad, Bilton, Harrogate

South American/Asian small plates restaurant with a bar area behind the dining section. It has nine keg taps on the bar back offering a variety of strengths (2% - 6.5%) and styles, only one local beer from Turning Point. Tables and chairs in the front part by the kitchen, with booths and stools on a raised area to the side. The bar space is separated from the dining area by some brick columns and is largely vertical drinking space with a couple of sofas and a tallish table and some stools. Decorated with a plate collection and art work that’s for sale, not all is frog related. Keen, friendly staff although it’s early days here it looks promising. Outside drinking areas at the front on decking and to the side under canvas. Very stylish and a decent addition for this part of the town.
