Met some friends there who I’ve in Harrogate. Didn’t expect a five star establishment but likewise expected good service, drinks and atmosphere. It was quite the opposite.?Unfriendly staff. Felt very run down and in need of a refurb. Wouldn’t return.

The Shepherd’s Dog is a fantastic traditional pub located on Harlow Hill along Otley Road in Harrogate. The welcoming landlord, Mike, creates a friendly atmosphere that is perfect for families. In addition, the beer garden is a wonderful feature of the pub.

We stopped by on our way back to Otley after a disappointing visit to the NT. The locals gave us a warm and welcoming reception, the bar staff were amazing, my wife loved the sausage roll, and we had excellent pints and coffee brought to our table. Don't overlook this place if you're passing by.
