For those not partaking in booze they also make decent espresso based coffees served with little tiffin bites which is a really nice extra touch. Food wise the Half Moon keeps it nice and simple with a meat, cheese or meat and cheese platter. Unfortunately we'd already eaten before we visited but spying other people's platters they did look really good and great value too. The staff (I think landlord and landlady) were really warm and friendly and even offered table service for my coffee which I wouldn't have expected from a pub. A really great (new but old) addition to the Knaresborough pub scene, just prepare for a steep walk up Briggate at the end of your night!

Shhhweeet! But like in any other town, there's very much a full range of the spectrum from the best to avoid to the pretty damn good - with quite a few fairly average ones in the middle. Yeah there's some dodgy ones that aren't advised and in the average category there's about a million Sam Smiths pubs - ok ambience, ok, beer and the low low price is what keeps people coming back! But in the great category there's the amazing Blind Jacks and relatively new (i.e the past couple of years it's opened) Half Moon. Down the bottom of a ridiculously steep hill, it's definitely worth going to check out even if you use the hill as an excuse to have an extra pint due to all the calories burned off on the walk back up. There's a great selection of local brewery Roosters ales inside, plus some other tasty brews which are always changing. The food menu is also a good option with the meat and cheese board worth checking out - it really is just a good spot to hangout in for a couple of hours and have a relaxed session. Special mention should also go to the small beer garden in the back - it's a real sun trap if you can hit it at just the right time of day!

Owned by Okells on the IOM (I'm not biased in this review given that I'm from the Isle of man...) they stock some Manx beers as well as a good range of quality local breweries. Being based in the wonderfully beer rich North Yorks, there's usually Roosters on tap, Ilkley gets a look in and they're also pretty good on the imported ales from Europe and the States (lots of bottles too) - Okells MPA wins for me though with it being super tasty and only 3.6% (perfect for afternoon boozing without getting too destroyed...) We had a small amount of food last time we were in - a nice sharing platter of olives, breads, dips etc - plus a portion of chips - perfect for a nice tasty snack in the afternoon! A great pub - worth checking out. *extra tip - it's a hotel so they have a breakfast room downstairs but you can hire this out for private functions, I imagine it takes around 50*

First of all, the interior is incredibly cozy. The service was quite good, and the employees were very friendly - especially the older man behind the bar. My husband ordered the haddock and chips, and he says it's the best fish and chips he's ever had. I ordered the pork loin. It came with potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, applesauce, broccoli and carrots, and cheesy cauliflower. It was a ton of food for £10 and VERY good. Overall, I have no complaints whatsoever and we'll definitely be going back the next time we're in town!!!
