Description: An independent family run restaurant and Harrogate's first ever wine bar serving traditional British food in the heart of Harrogate. William & Victoria was established over 40 years ago and has developed a reputation for great food served in a relaxed and friendly environment with fantastic service. Simply cooked food using quality local suppliers served in a cosy downstairs wine bar/bistro that oozes character and personality with a buzz you will find any day of the week created by it's popularity. A more spacious dining area is available upstairs with private dining rooms ideal for business entertaining and special occasions. Outside tables under a retractable canopy are available for 'walk-ins' along the lower end of Cold Bath Road, nestled between the Montpellier Stray and Valley Gardens - perfect for people watching!

We were given a gift voucher to dine here, so we thought we would save it to treat ourselves to a special Sunday lunch. Everybody kept telling us how great it was, but we were a little disappointed. The chairs were hard and uncomfortable, and the three of us were cramped upon two small, round tables. The food was good, but the vegetables could have been more exciting, a Sunday roast with creamed carrots, red cabbage and cauliflower doesn't exactly inspire me. The desserts offered a good range, and the cheese and biscuits were excellent. However, the meal was very expensive, and offered nothing better than the average carvery or pub lunch Sunday meal. I will not be dining here out of choice again.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. You obviously have friends who rate us highly and it sounds like this raised your expectations. I'm sorry you felt cramped; the table configuration for your party was not the best and was probably offered due to all other tables being occupied or already reserved.

Should you return, please try our upstairs area which is more spacious and has some chairs with padded seats, we also have a wider selection of vegetables on the a la carte menu. I'm pleased you found the food good and our Yorkshire cheeseboard excellent.

My sister-in-law celebrated her 80th birthday here on 24th February. It was held in a special function room (31 people). We had pre-chosen our food/ The service, food and everything was great making it a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I have eaten here on previous occasions and the food has always been excellent. Well done!

This place has lost it big time which is a shame as it was brilliant.

Ordered the 2 course lunch. Firstly they delivered the wrong main course and then a desert which was a potted cheesecake that had gone seriously off.

They even presented us with the bill minus desert but it was not enough. So my only retribution is to tell all my followers to beware of going to this restaurant.

Saying sorry is just not enough.

We save William and Victoria’s for special occasions. Always went up stairs to the restaurant for about 20 years and then a few years ago we decided to go downstairs for a less formal atmosphere, pre Christmas meal out, we have not been upstairs since then (sorry upstairs). It’s a great atmosphere downstairs, excellent service, feels a little bit more relaxed but above all up or downstairs the food is still top rate, highly recommended but book in advance.

Thanks for the five star review. Delighted to hear you have enjoyed both upstairs and downstairs - the menus are the same, the main difference being the higher ceiling upstairs which perhaps gives it a slightly more formal feel, but we still aim for a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere with delicious food and drink. We look forward to welcoming you back soon, thank you for recommending us to others.
