    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.

    Excellent location, a great spot for a family get together, good food, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter was second to none he did well with the challenges of serving a large group with age ranges from 22 to 84 and their demands. All done with professionalism and a touch of humour. Would recommend a visit as a good variety of food to suit all tastes as well as good quality. We had a great evening which set us up for the next day which was the special reason why we were visiting Harrogate.

    Very busy restaurant, plenty of attentive staff. Service was good and efficient. Food was very tasty, two things that I object to: 1/ The dish description didn’t mention the vegetables served with the dish other than the potato, implying that you need extra vegetables (side order) when you actually don’t! 2/ Our lamb dish came with a very small amount of jus, so we asked for some more to accompany our dish and for this treat we we’re charged an additional £1. It isn’t the amount, it is the principle of trying to squeeze additional money out of the customer who is already paying substantial prices for his/her meal. For this reason I will not be returning or recommending the Fat Badger to anyone!
