Well worth the walk from town to this pub set in a stunning location by the river and only a 12 minute river walk to the ? station although there are 80-odd steps to climb along the way. 4 cask ales available along with a large wine selection plus hot beverages.

Superb atmosphere, foods to die for best pizza in Knaresborough! Highly recommended!

Lovely service. Nipped in for a coffee as was driving, but the beer range looked great and will be back.

I have just seen a review I put on from 6 yr ago which was 1 star..just to say this was not intentional and unsure why this came up 1. The half moon is 5 star all the way and would recommend 100%!

Fantastic service and such a cosy little pub. Great choice of ales and a lovely platter to go with it. Parking a little difficult over Christmas but only to be expected. Love it , can't wait to go back

Lovely pub - they know how to pour a great pint of Guinness. Their midweek pizza nights are superb too.

Amazing. Beautiful pub inside, we sat near the log fire on this rainy cold night. We had garlic bread to share and a pizza each. They were very tasty. Definitely would go back and would recommend. The lads serving food and at the bar were all very friendly and very helpful. Will be returning and highly recommend this pub for a drink but definitely for food. Was too full for dessert, disappointed as the cakes on the bar looked delicious.

Check your bookings. Service absolutely terrible tonight and they weren’t even busy. No apologies by staff for mistakes.
Firstly I was ignored at the bar as obviously a woman standing at a bar must be with one of the men (?). We had booked a table 2 weeks ago for a Christmas meal but were given a small table in a thoroughfare to the loo. When we complained we were told "To be fair we are busy" It would be much fairer to give us a decent table when booked.If you want any respect don't go here.

Excellent cosy pub with a log fire in the winter. Good drink selection, good food and friendly and efficient staff and service. Highly recommended.

Seven of us comprising of 3 generations booked for Saturday lunch. We were received by a very helpful and courteous young lady who showed us to our table, gave us a few minutes and then returned to take our order. An assortment of cheese and meat boards accompaiied by hummus and pate with toast arrived promptly. Additionally two bowls of carrot and coriander soup which were delightful. The food was of exceptional quality and was enjoyed equally by the three generations. It is really refreshing to see a public house serving nutritional and high quality foods accompanied by excellent wines and beers. To sum up: An absloute gem providing fiest class food and beverages supported by efficient and very accomodating staff. We will return as soon as possible!

We hired the pub for a private function - an 86th birthday party! Landlord Tom and his team completely nailed it. Food was brilliant, service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble - this is an A1 traditional pub. Love it and can’t recommend it enough.

Had a very nice cheeseboard here at the half moon. We had a table next to an open fire on a cold evening, the food we had was delicious backed by the great staff here. Made us so welcome. Had a great evening.
