    Steak looked like it had been boiled. Regardless, I asked for medium rare and it was rare/blue. Poor coleslaw too

    Excellent food, service was good but we felt a little forgotten - I had to get up and ask for condiments, we weren't checked to see if everything was ok or refresh our drinks and a little disappointed there was no flexibility to have a little icecream with the cheesecake. BUT overall it was a grest Sunday lunch.

    Lovely setting inside the White Hart hotel! Food and ambiance was great. Especially recommend the Ox Cheek Ragout which was outstanding! Perfect for an afternoon lunch on a dreary day.

    1st time visit to the Fat Badger and wasn’t disappointed at the quality of food and service . My wife and I booked a table as we were going to the theatre and we made an excellent decision. Definitely worth a another visit when we call into Harrogate later in the year.
