About This Pub
You know, I popped into The Joiners Arms the other week and it really left a smile on my face – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem in Harrogate. The Sunday carvery stands out as a winner; it's packed with tasty roasts, fresh veggies, and everything's cooked just right, making it brilliant value for a relaxed meal with mates. The drinks selection is spot on too, with some cracking cask ales and a beer garden that's just the ticket for a bit of fresh air. The team behind the bar are dead friendly, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after. On the downside, it's shut on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is a bit of a nuisance if you're planning something mid-week, and Sundays can be heaving, so booking's a must to snag a table. All in all, it's a solid choice for good food, drinks, and that welcoming feel, but keep those operating hours in mind to avoid any surprises.
