THE FAT BADGER RESTAURANT

Nestled in the heart of Harrogate, just a stone’s throw from the Stray, we serve exceptionally good food without any unnecessary ceremony. From our celebrated Badger Burger to beautifully prepared seabass, or a Chateaubriand for those feeling particularly indulgent (or perhaps a touch flirtatious), there’s something to suit every appetite — whether modest, magnificent, or somewhere delightfully in between.

And then there’s the wine list — thoughtfully curated to flatter both your palate and your dinner companion. Our team know it inside out, so if you’re unsure what pairs best with your chosen dish, simply ask. We’ll happily guide you in the right direction, which may well involve a second glass.

So do come in, take your seat, and leave the hard work to us. All that remains is for you to settle in, tuck in, and enjoy the finer things.
