Reviews for Old Bell Tavern
Popped in without booking on a Sunday, expecting not much. Well, were we ever surprised. Amazing interior full of original Farrah's toffee antiques, super friendly staff, and the surprise of the year: probably the best haddock and chips in the UK! Super light crunchy beer batter, over a huge fresh piece of flaky haddock, with the skin already removed. We will come back for this every time. Perfect.
Excellent Sunday lunch at the Old Bell yesterday. Enjoyed the roast beef and my wife said the turkey was equally as good. Both came with all the usual stuff and nicely cooked Yorkshire Puddings. And unlike most other places they came with plenty of gravy! We shared the apple and blackberry crumble with custard for afters which was really nice too. Last but not least it came with friendly customer service and very good value - a both a bit of a rarity in Harrogate these days !

We called in this lunchtime to escape the rain and grab a quick lunch. £9.50 for fish chips and peas. I suspect everything on the plate had come from the freezer but it was served piping hot by a happy smiling young lady. With a pint of IPA it was just what we needed. It's not fine dining but it doesn't pretend to be just good pub grub. Would have liked to have given a score of 4.5. We will call again.
