Pine Marten Harrogate Pub

Otley Rd, Harrogate HG3 1UE

About This Pub

Ah, the Pine Marten – it's one of those places that really captures the essence of a traditional British pub with a modern twist, tucked away in the lovely spot of Harrogate. I have to say, the food is a real highlight; think delicious roasts, burgers, and steaks that are cooked just right, making it ideal for a casual lunch or a special dinner with friends. The staff go above and beyond, always on hand with a smile and quick service that makes the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. Plus, with its stylish setup, complete with a cosy log fire and a garden for outdoor sipping, it's perfect for unwinding after a day out. On the flip side, if you're thinking of staying over, the rooms are comfortable enough but might not justify the cost, with a few niggles like worn paint that could leave you a bit underwhelmed. And while it's great that they welcome dogs, it does feel like they could add a few more extras to make it truly pawsome. Overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a bite, especially if you're after that quintessential pub feel, but just keep expectations in check for the lodging side of things – it's all about balance, isn't it?

Pros and Cons

The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.

They're pretty welcoming to dogs, which is great if you're popping in with your furry friend for a meal.
With a solid 4.4 rating and plenty of glowing feedback, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a proper pub experience with top-notch drinks on offer.

Cons

The accommodation might not live up to the hype, with some rooms feeling a bit overpriced and showing signs of wear, like missing paint, which could put a dampener on your stay.
A few menu items have let folks down occasionally, so it might not be perfect every time you visit.
While they're dog-friendly, they could do with a few more thoughtful touches, like providing dog biscuits, to make it feel less of a gimmick.
Prices are on the moderate side, but some bits, especially the rooms, might feel a tad steep for what you get.

Wow, what an amazing lunch we had for Father’s Day. The set menu was fairly priced, all roasts were smashing. Joe was our waiter. He was very attentive outside and made the experience even better!

Stayed a couple of nights and ate on night 1. Accommodation comfortable, but probably not worth the price. Room has a couple of bits of paint missing (bathroom and wall near the door - we were in room 2). Food was lovely, but disappointingly one of their 'select' items on the menu which I ordered (lamb) was not available.

Lovely quiet meal. Nice food selection, attentive friendly staff. Nice selection of cask and keg ales. Dog tolerant - our hound was quite happy settled under the table whilst we ate - although they seemed to be lacking dog biscuits. Bit of a gimmick? I actually notice my dog wanting to go back to a venue if she gets a dog biscuits during her visit. Also had to ask for a bowl of water - no biggie, but the places that ask if me if my dog wants a drink as well make me smile more. Quiet when we were there. Perhaps slightly over priced for bar food (dog area) - but yep, deffo elevated from ‘pub grub’

Absolutely outstanding. Food and service were among the best I have received, and I am a hotel manager down south. Will definitely be back.

Loved absolutely everything about this place. Our waitress was lovely and did her best. The food was 10/10, the carrot soup has natural sweetness and whole seeds just hit the spot. The rib-eye was perfect, medium rare as ordered, tender and it had a smell of wood. Also, the chips with it were really nice. The decor is so decent and stylish, the fireplaces make it super cosy.
