The Montpellier, Harrogate

A comfortable and smart yet fairly traditional pub, perhaps a little upmarket reflecting its location in 'the Montpellier Quarter' but nice enough except a slight smell of drains seems to have replaced the food odours. The range of ales - Theakstons Best and Old Peculier, TT Landlord and Bradfield Farmers Blonde - seemed fair enough but were still decidedly overpriced, all being well over a fiver.

It’s nice to see it’s still maintaining its position as Harrogate’s most expensive ordinary pub and the one with the most badgering signs, although perhaps not as many as previously. The cooking smells have disappeared too, maybe it’s not doing food at present. So so beer quality.
