We popped in on Christmas eve to meet some friends for coffee and sat upstairs where it's quite intimate but also roomy, with a balcony looking over the main bar. The coffees were good and we snacked on a few bites while the kids had some tasty avocado on toast. I was eyeing up the burger menu for a good hour before deciding I'd just grab something back home - damn I wish I'd had that burger though as I can imagine it would have been good! Very friendly staff, a great old converted building, great selection of craft beers - yep - ticked all the boxes for me! These guys must be mind readers too as when trying to coax me in for a drink later on they actually said "we have a great selection of Japanese Whiskeys if you're into that" - and yes, I am so I know I'll definitely be back in very soon when next in Knaresborough!

It's been a while since my last review because I was traveling in China where Yelp was not available. But this week, I will be starting my adventure in the UK. Tonight we are having the classic UK fish and chips with a pumpkin soup starter. And without further ado, let's dive right into the review! For starters, the pumpkin soup was fresh and hot! I took a spoonful of it and burnt my throat. Very flavorful and definitely a nice starter. It also comes with two pieces of bread which is a nice addition. The fish and chips come in standard, large, and jumbo size. I got the standard size and it was already very filling so go for jumbo if you really want a challenge. As I bit into the fish, it felt as though it melted in my mouth. The batter was crispy, light, thin, and not oily. It felt like the perfect combination. I hadn't had fish and chips in a while where I haven't been eating mostly batter in a while. The waitresses were very nice and well mannered. And they were also very helpful in answering our questions. I don't remember the price of this meal but when I saw the combo price I was astounded. Not only did it come at a superb price, the meal was filling and of high quality. In conclusion, this was a great meal to start of my UK trip and I'm excited for all the future meals I will be having. And that's it for today's episode of javing it with Javier. And remember food is life!

Very disappointing. Saturday afternoon, not particularly busy, long delay in getting the food, had…read moreto wait an overly long time for our food. Wish we hadn't bothered. Fish was just about ok, the batter so hard had to cut off the edges, the starter came after the main course, only after we asked for it. The chips were the dregs of the fryer basket, bits and burned, overcooked. The main complaint though is about the spam fritter and chips for my son, it looked disgusting and he said tasted just as bad, he wouldn't let me send it back because we had already waited too long. No recommendation from me.

There's the upstairs shop or you can sit outside on their limited tables and chairs, especially rare when the sun is shining! We've enjoyed a brew here time and time again and they also do cream teas which are just what the doctor ordered after a heavy venturing around the castle walls and down by the river nid. Recommended!

A rickety staircase leads to two sizeable rooms decorated like the best Grandma's front room. The food is delicious, ranging from the standard bacon or sausage sandwiches to fantastic cakes.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

This place is located about 5 mins walk from my inlaws and I must have been here twice in 10 years which I guess is saying something. Once I went about 5 years ago and it wasn't nice at all, very heavy and a real over-fatty taste/smell to everything. So when my MIL suggested we get fish and chips for Good Friday, I was sceptical but thought why not give it another chance - and I did. The fish was ok if a bit dry, the chips were ok - price was ok at around £5. That's all I can say really - I've had far tastier and nicer fish and chips around.

I had the Korean beef short rib rice bowl as my entree with an Asian pork belly starter. The toffee pudding to top is out was excellent as well. Only thing was we weren't aware there was a 2 or 3 course set available until we got the desert menu, but I wouldn't hold that against them as they just soft opened. Overall I highly recommend it for dinner, I'll have to try their breakfast menu another time. P.S. The owner has a great taste in music.
