    Very small portion starter, octopus salad, was lovely but not value for money, excellent rib eye steak. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff.

    Everything was great. We went with pub food, but it was upscale and tasty. Service was exceptional, and ambience in the dining room was good - not too noisy (unlike the popping bar area). Fun place to eat!

    Very enjoyable upmarket pub food, with lovely and helpful staff. The pudding menu was a bit too hearty for us - all crumbles and sticky toffee puddings with nothing lighter - bring on a lemon tart! But otherwise extremely nice.

    Excellent food, friendly service, good value. Would definitely recommend the tagin. Website states dress is smart casual but some people there were definitely untidy and scruffy but wasn’t a problem to us but might be to some. Recommended !

    Fat Badger in Harrogate is a lovely restaurant, with excellent food. Having eaten in there on a few occasions now, the fillet steaks have been exceptional each and every time. Staff are very good, service is good, the ambience in the restaurant is nice, and the Fat Badger bar is always a great place to have a drink before or after a meal.
