Located in the heart of Harrogate in between the Montpellier Quarter and thriving Cold Bath Road, William & Victoria has been owned and managed by the Straker family since 1982. ‘Will & Vics’ – as it is often fondly referred to – is something of a Harrogate institution, popular with local clientele as well as visitors to the spa town.
Front of house, David Straker has been a familiar face behind the bar for over 25 years and is passionate about what he does, so you are assured a personal and attentive service. Enjoy a glass of wine at the bar, sample some bar tapas or indulge in the full Yorkshire dining experience in one of our intimate dining rooms. Our menus are based on British classics with influences from around the world – you'll find something to suit all tastes.
Quality food and drink from local suppliers
Working closely with excellent local suppliers we are able to source the best in local seasonal produce for you, offering extensive menus that keep pace with modern trends while still serving outstanding British cooking with portions to satisfy Yorkshire appetites.
All our menus use locally sourced ingredients from Yorkshire farms and reputable local suppliers offering British classics, steaks, seasonal game and exquisite fish dishes.
Our wine list boasts more than 70 wines that have been selected to compliment our menu with many wines available by the glass. As champions of locally made Yorkshire gins, we guarantee you will receive the perfect ‘serve’ – or why not indulge in a dessert cocktail? A range of hand-pulled beers are also available, including Guinness, Theakstons Best, Theakstons Peculier Pale Ale and Kronenbourg.
