Cheers
Rio

Thanks tails - already had that on the list. Any cakes you would recommend?
fat rascal
bang birds in the gardens , thats what i did when i was posted in the army there 😉 mmm happy days
Honestly I have only been there with work so have little knowledge of the place, but is it not a spa town? It seems decent nice big park at one end. go and get drunk and wonder around in the cold it's good for the soul. hope you have a nice time.
funnily enough it was great for chasing tail 😉
Went there for a wedding a few months in ago in HG and the reception was in Chez la Vie, opposite Waitrose on the same road as Blacks. Can throughly recomend their fisherman's pie. Then head over to the Old Bell Tavern near the gardens to sample a fine selection of real ales amd belgium beers.
You can smoke tea in Harrogate.
Beware of the cakes.
brdavies - now your talking! Old Bell Tavern it is.
Fat rascal and yorkshire curd tart in Bettys
Turkish baths are good
Damn Yankee (scooby snack!) or the Jinnah for dinner
Old bell tavern for ale
Walk in the gardens
drink of sulphur water by the pump rooms
brimham rocks for a walk
Old Bell Tavern is a very short walk from Bettys, you head down Montpellier (not Parliment st) to the roundabout at the bottom, OBT is on the roundabout. Neil Morrisey was in there on Monday night. Check the Blues Bar if you like live music (a few doors down from Bettys). If your into that sort of thing, they have the only RHS gardens north of Watford gap (top of Otley Road). decent restaurants that I know of are The Drum and Monkey and William and Victorias both are a short walk from The OBT.
Drum & Monkey for fabulous seafood.
A trip to Knaresborough with its castle, river and Mother Shipton's cave is worth doing.
Also Brimham Rocks are work seeing.
I just got back from Harrogate - stayed in The Crown Hotel and drank in the Old Bell. Also ate in the Drum and Monkey and got food poisoining - it might not have been from there but not sure what else I ate that could have been dodgy that day - didn't drink much that evening BTW!
I keep meaning to take the kids here:
