I booked the Cattlemans as it was recommended by someone who had been there several years ago and had a great meal. By all accounts it used to be a top steak house. We were a party of 6 and we all had a steak. Out of the 6 only 2 had been cooked correctly. I sent my cremated medium well, bone dry steak back and it came back less than 10mins later as a rare steak with blood oozing out all over the plate but again burnt on the outside! This was a £19.00 fillet and they got it wrong twice. Even the two steaks that had been cooked OK were nothing special and 4 of us didn't enjoy our meal. This was on top of the fact the meals took over an hour to come in the first place and the chips were barely warm when they arrived. The final insult came when I paid the bill. I had a 25% discount voucher from Harrogate Vouchers and they wouldn't honour it. They said that the voucher was only for 25% off the food up to 4 people and as we had a table of 6 I couldn't use it! I had to insist they take the service charge off. What a dreadful place. It is obviously living on past glory. There are plenty of other good restaurants in Harrogate including steak houses. Don't waste your money here.

The atmosphere at Cattlemens is always fun and friendly, they catered well for our large party as well as when it was just the two of us dining. The staff are friendly and attentive
The steaks are by far the best in Yorkshire and really good value for money. Always cooked just the way you like them.
We watched someone try the "Steak Challenge" and the staff really egged them on and encouraged them, it was fun to watch, we all clapped afterwards.
Don't forget to leave room for a pudding though!

I hated the wretched place. It seemed to me to gorify meat eating, but a heart by-pass perhaps changes ones views. I dont know who runs the place now but it used to be a thoroughly objectionable american who was nasty to both customers and staff alike. I shall not return - and I recommend you to do the same

Took advantage of the Sunday / early bird deal thing, Mushrooms for Starter for both of us - Steak & Burger as the main course choices, very nice - good value for money - pretty waitress always a plus - Kids meals were nice and great value..

Went for first time after hearing good reports. Famous for steaks but I opted for rustler chicken which was delicious and very filling. Portion sizes were very good and sweets looked delicious (if you have room for one!). Cost £18 for a starter , two big drinks and my main so average for a meal with drinks really. Lots of group/parties providing good atmosphere though not the best place for a romantic dinner for two. lots of kids before 7.
