Quick info
About The Harewood Arms
On Main St in Harrogate, The Harewood Arms is a pub that takes walk-ins only, with no reservations booked. The landlady prepares the food served here, and Old Brewery Bitter is poured on tap at the bar, where customers place their own orders. Tables carry no piped music, and the pub asks that mobile phones stay off the table, a policy that keeps the room free of both. It opens daily, giving regulars and passersby a consistent schedule to rely on. An outside seating area extends the pub beyond its four walls for those who prefer to sit outdoors. Together the bar counter, the kitchen, and the outside space give The Harewood Arms a straightforward, no-frills shape, one built around home cooked food and a drink at the bar rather than table service or background noise.

“Turn back the clock at this friendly, characterful traditional pub. No piped music, nobody glued to their phones just the sound of conversation. My wife and I enjoyed a home cooked lunch at a very reasonable price. The staff couldn't have been more friendly. We have been before and will be back again.”

“Great traditional pub with great traditional values. Food big tick, beer choice big tick, atmosphere big tick, swearing big no no, mobile phones big no no. Tradition pub where you meet and chat, massive tick.”

“I had a really disappointing experience at this pub. From the moment I arrived, it felt deeply unwelcoming. I was ignored at the bar initially, and when I returned to ask whether it was dog friendly, I was abruptly told “no” and then “not …”

“Can't rate the food as I didn't partake. The service was friendly and the Old Brewery Bitter was as good as I've had anywhere and the outside space is lovely.”
