  “My favourite place in Knaresborugh. We've been a few times on different days and times and it's always fantastic. Love their beer selection, cakes, and their Sunday roast. My kids have always eaten well too!”

  “We had a lovely meal here. It was recommended by a customer of another pub and didn’t disappoint. The burgers were really good and the service was excellent and the staff and other customers were very friendly. We would definitely return.”

  “A lovely place! Really lovely food and service. As somebody who is gluten free, it was so nice to enjoy the house burger and chips and there be no fuss. Lots of places over complicate allergen options or make it so there's not much choice. Plenty of choice and easy. It was delicious. Thank you for a lovely lunch and experience 🌟”

  “This is a beautiful pub with a wonderful atmosphere. There is outdoor seating as well as indoor with seats both upstairs and downstairs. The place has a cozy welcoming feel to it. We only ordered a couple of drinks, so I cannot comment on the food but it smelt amazing. We came here for the Irish music night that they host every month on the last Thursday. When we arrived at 8pm (when the music was supposed to start) we were told they would be playing that evening. We sat down outside, got our drinks, and waited. By 8.35 the music still hasn’t started to we went back inside to ask which we were reassured they would be playing. By 9pm they still weren’t playing so we got ready to leave. We asked one final time about the music, and we were told that a couple of them were here, but the others weren’t as they were on holiday. This meant that there would be no music that night. I am not sure why we were told in the first place they were going to be playing if they knew they weren’t? Why not just say they were away when we walked through the door? We specifically only went there for that event and we were misinformed which was a bit disappointing. In future maybe let customers know or post on social media that the event has been cancelled so others are aware. Despite this miscommunication, we still had a lovely time.”

  “Stumbled upon this delightful pub, the food was delicious. Recommend the Nacho Burger, absolutely delicious (burger, with chorizo chilli and heat wave nachos all beautifully in a burger.... stunning!) Lovely service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly which was great for our Bessie!”

  “Lovely pub with excellent customer service! Sadly we missed the Sunday roast as they only serve it on the first Sunday of a month so we had the burgers instead but they were really tasty, chips were thick cut and home made! The ladies who served us were really excellent and friendly. I Would highly recommend if you were visiting Knaresborough and we would be happy to go again! Thank you guys!”

  “Had a wonderful experience at The Six Poor Folk in Knaresborough — easily one of the best pub restaurants I’ve visited in the area. What really stands out is their menu selection, which caters brilliantly to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. It’s not often you find a place that gives equal attention to veg and non-veg dishes, but they’ve absolutely nailed it here. The variety is impressive, and everything feels thoughtfully curated rather than just standard pub fare. The food quality was excellent across the board — fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavours, and beautifully presented dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or something lighter, there’s plenty to choose from, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The ambience is another big highlight. The place has a warm, cosy, and welcoming atmosphere with a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern touches. It’s ideal for everything from a relaxed meal to a special evening out. The overall vibe makes you want to sit back, unwind, and really enjoy your time there. Service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. All in all, The Six Poor Folk delivers on every front — great food, fantastic variety, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re in or around Knaresborough!”

  “My wife and I stayed at Knaresborough and found this gem of a place. Right in the middle of town but slightly set back helped to keep it quiet and not overcrowded. Really lovely chilled out vibe. Great lighting and relaxing music. Nice menu, reasonably priced. Cafe during the day and more upbeat pub at night with beer garden, which we popped back for on the night after being impressed with the place for our brunch earlier in the day. Will definitely return next time we visit Knaresborough.”

  “Food was good with slightly hard green beans but everybody's tastes are different We had chicken Sunday roast. I had a nice pint of cask bitter and my other half had Lager and lime. Price was £45 roughly. Staff, from walking in to leaving were polite and very helpful.”

  “First Visit to Knaresborough – A Summer Surprise at Six Poor Folk It was my first time visiting Knaresborough, and a heatwave had just arrived. The sun was blazing, and we were desperate to find somewhere indoors for lunch — and to cool off. That’s how we ended up at Six Poor Folk. The interior felt like a cosy little cottage, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto the charming street scene outside. There’s even an upstairs seating area. The whole place felt clean, tidy, and inviting. We were greeted by a lovely waitress with beautiful long hair — friendly and chatty — who brought us chilled water with lemon slices to help us cool down. Such a thoughtful touch. There were two of us, and we ordered the Fish Butty with hand-cut chips and the Buffalo Chicken. The presentation was elegant and the flavours didn’t disappoint. The haddock in the Fish Butty was perfectly cooked, paired with fresh and crispy baby gem lettuce — absolutely delicious. The Buffalo Chicken came with a green sauce that was both unique and flavourful, adding an interesting twist to the dish. But the biggest surprise? The ladies’ toilet. It was spotless — honestly one of the cleanest I’ve ever come across — and stocked with thoughtful extras like feminine products. A small detail, but it left a big impression. All in all, Six Poor Folk offered not just a lovely meal but also a truly welcoming and comfortable experience. Would definitely return!”
