Overall food was 3.5 but atmosphere was a 4.5…read more Great choice for a lazy weekend! My first time at this place and I never knew there was a boutique grocery store up front! It's nice, kind of reminiscent of the Wheeton's in town (Harrogate). I really enjoy the strong theme of locally sourced high quality food that permeates this place. The employees seem happy which often results in better service, which was the case with my visit today. I like the large open feel of this place combined with the big open windows and the outside tables with umbrellas. The amount of light this place invites gives the cafe section a cheery feel to it. Fee wifi is a plus for yelping of course. I had a Sunday roast and it was a very generous portion. The food was well presented, and wait time was minimal. It was good food, but nothing extraordinary in my experience. But the atmosphere of the place more than compensates to make an overall enjoyable experience and a place I'm likely to revisit soon!

An excellent selection of fruit and veg - it it's in season Fodder will find it. Asparagus (May/June) comes from a farm just over a mile away. The same can be said for strawberries. Meat is from local farms and not only is the selection and quality very good, you can see the butchers in the back rooms cutting the meat up. Chuck in a great cheese counter, lots of local beer, cured meats, chocolates, sweets and puddings... It's a fine establishment. Doing a full weekly shop might not be possible but for a few choice bits and pieces Fodder is a lovely place to visit. Oh, and knowledgeable staff who aren't afraid to smile - that's always going set a place ahead of the competition!

Hurrah for Baltzersen - and hurrah for their stripped back Scandinavian charm!…read more We were in Harrogate for the Tour de France and it was one of those days where we were seriously wondering if we were going to get a table anywhere or if it would be a quick sandwich on a bench somewhere. Adding a baby in a buggie further complicates the situation but luckily with us being "fair weather" cycling fans we decided to have a late lunch and managed to beat the crowds who'd all gone down and grabbed themselves a seat near the front! First off this is a super cool setting - clean, crisp, efficient but friendly - it's all service from the counter where you can get coffee and cakes, but you can go deeper into a menu offering sandwiches, snacks and platter boards. Our mixed board of meat and fish came with fresh bread and pickles and cost £8 - not bad to share between us. I was really impressed with them supporting the local 'bad seed brewery' and their Citra mashup beer was a lovely Saturday afternoon beer - definitely going in there as one to enjoy in the future again! We also grabbed cinnamon buns to go - £1.70 inside where you can sit in with it, £2 when bought outside to take way - I'm not sure how that works out... but there you go, who's me to argue with the economics of the cafe business... A great place that I'm going to check out next time in Harrogate!

Food shopping is just so much fun and it 's no different in Weeton's. This is farm shopping but in a plush surrounding. Quality assured here and that is a fact. If I say fact then it must be true. What I really love about this place is that it brings the best things about Yorkshire to one place. It's like a deli but on acid. They stock over 1000 different lines of Yorkshire's finest. I defy you to go in and not come out with a sticky toffee pudding or stunning ginger bread house. The bakery really is first class. Yet so is most of it. You'll find teas, wines, meat, vegetables, really smelly cheeses and stock cupboard essentials. The oils are out of this world too. You pay for it but some of the balsamic and dipping oils are just meant to be cracked open on those special occasions. How I can get excited about oil I don't know but in here anything is possible. Great staff and service too and a food shop that doesn't involve trolley-rage or z-list celebrities advertising. Great guns of Harrogate.

It was really pleasant with a view of street out the window, a fireplace and lots of quirky eclectic pictures on the wall. The food was incredible. We both had a burger, can't remember which, but super meaty, super tasty. Big flavour, big belly. I felt like a fat badger after that. Service wasn't the quickest, but it was cheerful and helpful. Quality of the food was worth the wait.

Moreover, its trade-mark deep blue-and-silver tins have come to serve as a symbol not only of the Farrah company but Harrogate itself and are known now far beyond Yorkshire. The Farrah company has, to its credit, set up an impressive visitors' centre and shop and also does a good business in shipping its sticky confection far and wide. Worth stopping by and getting some toffee and other gifts while in town.
