Hopper Lane - Harrogate

Stopped out of the blue for a meal, the food was fabulous. We had a home cooked pie which was full of flavour and full to the brim, (the service was lovely too). Would definatly recommend it for food. We will be going back.

Stopped by for a bite to eat and a drink (or two! . Sat in the beer garden enjoying the sunshine and watching the sheep in the field behind. I would thoroughly recommend The Hopper Lane if you’re looking for somewhere to sit back and relax. My husband opted for the burger and I chose the summer platter. Both were really tasty and good value for money. A family run pub with very friendly staff and great service. Despite the reduced menu there was still plenty to choose from. We will be back again very soon.

So many pubs belonging to pub groups are over designed and serve underwhelming food and drink at overwhelming prices with little real enthusiasm. The Hopper Lane is a refreshing change; a family owned pub, and hotel, that has retained its real character. The lunch menu is wide and varied and the service we received when we visited with our dog was delightful a warm welcome that felt genuine, rather than 'trained ', from nice people.

Lovely home cooked tasty food, decent portion sizes and good value. The creamy mushroom starter is delicious and all items we have tried from the mains have been excellent.

Ate lunch here yesterday after a pleasant circuit of Fewston Reservoir (about 3.5m). This is a spacious traditional inn with real coal fires giving a warm welcome. There is an extensive menu to satisfy most people's tastes. I had the Steak Ale Pie which contained some of the best gravy I have ever tasted with chips and well cooked seasonal vegetables. A pint of Black Sheep Beer complimented the food well. Would thoroughly recommend after earning your refreshment with a walk around the reservoir.
