Welcome back to the HGATE Newsletter!

William & Victoria

A true Harrogate institution, William & Victoria’s has long been a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Known for its warm welcome, generous portions, and commitment to classic British cooking, this independent restaurant offers a dining experience that blends tradition with modern flair.

Working closely with local suppliers, the kitchen sources the best in seasonal produce, serving up extensive menus that celebrate Yorkshire flavours while keeping pace with today’s dining trends. Their wine list features over 50 carefully selected options, many available by the glass, perfectly paired with the menu. You’ll also find a great choice of Yorkshire gins, classic cocktails, dessert cocktails, and hand-pulled beers including Guinness, Theakston’s Best, Pale Ale, and San Miguel.

Downstairs, enjoy wine bar and bistro-style dining in a cosy, intimate setting. Upstairs, the more spacious restaurant is now primarily reserved for private parties, group bookings, and special events - with private dining rooms available for business lunches, celebrations, and everything in between.

Whether you're stopping by for a relaxed midweek meal or planning a special gathering, William & Victoria’s offers timeless hospitality and top-quality dining in the heart of Harrogate.
