Three's a Crowd in Harrogate

Ah, Three's a Crowd – what a gem of a spot in Harrogate for a proper pub outing. I have to say, the food really steals the show; it's all about those fresh, locally sourced ingredients and classic British dishes that hit the spot every time. Think succulent Sunday roasts with enormous Yorkshire puddings that are crispy on the outside and soft inside – pure bliss for a weekend treat. The team behind the bar and in the dining area are just brilliant, always cheerful and ready to chat or recommend a drink from their hand-picked wine list, which makes the whole experience feel personal and inviting. It's spot on for a relaxed catch-up with mates, and being dog-friendly adds that extra touch of charm for those who like to bring their furry pals along. Plus, with all those upcoming events like wine pairings and summer specials, there's always something fresh to look forward to. On the other hand, it's not without its quirks – I've picked up that waits for food can stretch out longer than you'd hope, which might put a dampener on things if you're in a rush. And while it's cosy, it can sometimes feel a bit too quiet, especially mid-week, so if you're craving a buzzing atmosphere, it might not quite deliver. All in all, it's a solid choice for good, honest grub and a laid-back vibe, but keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced night out.
