About This Pub
Ah, Worlds End in Knaresborough – what a gem it is for a casual get-together with mates. Picture this: you're sat out on that new terraced area, gazing over the River Nidd, with a refreshing pint in hand and maybe a hearty steak and ale pie on the way. The vibe is just right, with its cosy interior full of character from the beams and stone floors, and it's one of those places where the staff genuinely make you feel welcome, always on hand with a friendly chat. Plus, if you're out for a walk with the dog, it's spot on being so accommodating. On the flip side, though, it's not without its flaws – the prices can sting a bit more than you'd expect, and while some rave about the food, others have had off days where it didn't quite hit the mark, with the menu not offering a huge selection to choose from. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening, especially if you catch it on a nice day. I'd say give it a go and see for yourself; it's all about that balance of good times and a few things to keep in mind.

Quite pricey, however the food is absolutely delicious. Stake and ale pie with vegetables and gravy, I do recommend. Lovely welcome and attentive staff. Dog friendly for anyone with doggies. I will be coming again, thank you.
Nice pub, at great locations at the edge of Knaresborough village and the end of river Nidd within the village, however the food are terrible, if you only have a pint or drink, that is a lovely place
Best place to have a drink because loves their outdoor seating which providing me a stage to sit, look around for some nice photos.
Good and friendly service, happy staff and lovely environment. Its summer start which makes everyone happy and bring them out to enjoy. Btw nice location next to the bridge and nice views around.
A great pub with good real ale and proper home cooked food for good value. Highly recommend.
Was in Knaresborough for the weekend and had heard lots of good comments about this pub and the food, so we had to visit, it was a Friday night and was pretty empty, the menu was pretty basic and not a massive choice in my opinion. I had the chilli beef and wife had hunter's chicken and got to say they where excellent.
Only one thing after served we had no asking if everything was fine with food, just my thing.
