Six Poor Folk in Harrogate

You know, when I think about Six Poor Folk, it's got this lovely old-school feel in a building dating back to 1480, right in the heart of Knaresborough, and it's just brimming with that warm, community spirit. The food really steals the show – people are buzzing about the sharing plates, like that divine whipped goats cheese and those must-try signature fries, and the Sunday roasts are spot on for a proper hearty meal. Pair that with a great line-up of local beers and cocktails, and you've got a spot that's ideal for unwinding after a day out. The staff are absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and quick to sort things out, even if the kitchen's about to close. On the flip side, though, if you're eyeing up the place for a bigger do, it's a shame they're only open for private hires midweek, and sorting tables for more than eight folks means picking up the phone rather than booking online. Plus, with everything shutting at 10 PM, it might not hit the mark for those evening plans that stretch on. All in all, it's a solid choice for a chilled pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the little niggles.
