Harrogate pubs
Friday, June 3rd, 2016 | Friends
A few years ago, while I was working up in Harrogate, my friend Alan and I refined the art of pub lunch. At Buzz, Jason and I achieved pub week, which was no mean feet. However, we could only dream of the system Alan and I put in place. Sometimes with other colleagues, sometimes not, we got it down to a schedule.

Notes
Monday
Smiths Arms
Nice way to start the week. Food was okay. Mostly, it was close.
Tuesday
Squinting Cat
Quiet, plenty of tables, big range of food and the barman was a character.
Wednesday
Black Swan, Fat Badger
Usally Black Swan, but occasionally we would drive into the centre for the Fat Badger.
Thursday
Old Spring Well, Pine Martin
Good specials, though roadworks severely hampered our journey times, in which case we would fall back to the Pine Martin.
Friday
Square & Compass
Bit of a drive to North Rigton, but worth it for the food.
This went on for months. We managed two team lunches in my current team this week. That was great, but I can only dream of the glory days…
