About This Pub
Ah, William & Victoria – it's one of those places in Harrogate that just feels like a proper local favourite, you know? From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the food is a real standout; we're talking hearty, well-cooked classics like smoked haddock fishcakes or bang bang cauliflower that showcase the best of Yorkshire ingredients, all done with a light touch that leaves you wanting more. The vibe is spot on too – it's warm and inviting, with that buzzy bar area adding a nice energy without overwhelming things, making it brilliant for a midweek meal or a Sunday lunch. On the flip side, it does get lively with bigger groups sometimes, which might not suit if you're after a peaceful chat, and the menu sticks to tried-and-true options that could feel a bit familiar if you're in the mood for something wildly different. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for reliable, feel-good dining that'll leave you with a smile, and I'd say it's worth popping in for a bite – just book ahead to snag a good table!

What a fantastic dining experience! We visited William & Victoria in Harrogate and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely excellent — beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients.
The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and full of character — the perfect setting for a memorable meal. What really stood out, though, was the service. The wait staff were fantastic: friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
We opted for the early bird menu, which offered incredible value without compromising on quality or choice. It’s rare to find such a great combination of price, service, and superb food.
We’ll definitely be returning and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend William & Victoria to anyone visiting Harrogate!
1st time I've been and went with my partner to treat her for her birthday. The food and service and Manager were really excellent and friendly. Would definitely go again but next time hopefully without 12 noisy men on the table behind us. That's the only thing that spoilt the evening we just couldn't hear ourselves for the raised voices they more they drank!
Amazing food with excellent menu choices. Staff were professional with our group, explained everything and didn't rush us.
We’ve been meaning to come back here after years of saying we should, and now we will 100% be regulars. The food was incredible, the dauphinoise potato’s were the best I’ve probably ever had and the steak was cooked to perfection. The service is 10/10 and lovely wine. I can see why every single table was taken👏🏼 100% will be recommending to everyone and will not leave it so long for a return visit!
