Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Fat Badger Harrogate delights with "absolutely beautiful food" and "excellent service." Visitors rave about its "great atmosphere" and "wonderful setting." The Sunday roast is a standout favorite, with dishes like Chateaubriand also receiving high praise. While some note dim lighting, the overall experience is consistently positive.

    Lovely meal and friendly service. We felt the music playing in the background (although music we like in other contexts) was not appropriate here.

    It’s a shame as the restaurant was empty so not much atmosphere.We’ve eaten here before and have always been impressed with the menu and quality of the food.However, the menu is not as special as it used to be and not many main courses come with potatoes/veg so quite expensive when you add on a couple of sides.The service was a little rushed.
