Fat Badger at The White Hart Hotel Praised for Exceptional Dining and Year‑Round Appeal

The Fat Badger at The White Hart Hotel in Harrogate has received glowing praise in a recent York Press review, highlighting its ability to attract strong midweek trade even in the quietest months of the year.

The review commends the venue’s warm atmosphere, high‑quality food, and strong value — positioning it as one of Harrogate’s most consistently popular dining destinations.
Located within the historic White Hart Hotel in the Montpellier Quarter, the Fat Badger was celebrated for its contemporary menu, attentive service, and vibrant social scene. Standout dishes included the sticky pork belly salad, 12‑hour lamb shoulder, and a rich Black Forest trifle, all noted for their generous portions and well‑balanced flavours.
The review also spotlighted the long‑running Fat Badger Beer Club, a monthly event attracting up to 200 guests for curated Yorkshire beers and a three‑course meal — described as “top value” and a highlight of Harrogate’s social calendar.
With nearly 100 modern bedrooms, an AA Rosette restaurant, and a reputation for warm hospitality, The White Hart Hotel continues to strengthen its position as one of Harrogate’s most loved hotels — a sentiment echoed by strong TripAdvisor and Google ratings.
