The Old Bell Tavern, Harrogate

Good pub for central meeting point - especially if you're new to Harrogate and spread out amongst hotels! Good beer range... however - there are never enough staff manning the bar and you will have to wait a long time during busy periods to get served. Which is a shame, as it's certainly one of Wetherspoon's better pubs.

The Gardeners Arms, Bilton

Pub surround looks great - it's in a superb location for walks. However, on asking for a variation to the menu, we were 'greeted' by an unfriendly landlord. Really off putting and not condusive to staying at all.

It's a shame when a pub which could be such a great place due to its location is spoiled by unfriendliness. Not returning!
