Visitors to Harrogate’s West Park can enjoy alfresco dining in a whole new style, in The Courtyard. With heated seating, guests can continue to sample the delicious cocktails and seasonal menus outdoors, whatever the weather.

Visitors to Harrogate’s West Park can soon enjoy alfresco dining in a whole new style, in The Courtyard. The restaurant’s brand-new offering is open from Saturday 26 June.

Famed for its delicious seasonal menus and warm Yorkshire welcome, West Park already has a stellar reputation as one of Harrogate’s finest drinking and dining spots – but The Courtyard is set to take that status even further.

The contemporary and understated space sits under a retractable roof, allowing guests to soak up the sunshine or be protected from the unpredictable British elements. Along with bespoke heated seating and beautiful tiled flooring, The Courtyard features a living wall – perfect for visitors to capture their favourite moments on camera.

Food lovers can continue to enjoy West Park’s delectable cuisine. With a strong focus on championing local produce, the seasonal menus feature a delightful array of classic British and international dishes.

Guests at West Park are spoilt for choice, with flavoursome new dishes such as the Rump of Yorkshire Warrendale Wagyu Beef and the new Peppered Tuna Sashimi. Those looking for a lighter lunch may look towards light bites such as the Indian Spiced Pulled Chicken Wrap or Warm Goats Cheese & Roast Mediterranean Vegetables.

The Courtyard will also be home to a new bar, stocked with local and international ales, spirits and wines. West Park’s expertly crafted cocktails are available too – and they do not disappoint! The Rhubarb and Wild Berry Sour made with Slingsbury Rhubarb Gin and crème de mure, and the West Park Retreat made with Mount Gay Rum topped with caramel syrup are sure to crave those with a sweet tooth after a magnificent meal.

For those looking to enjoy an extended stay in Harrogate, West Park offers deluxe accommodation, with rooms boasting super king Hypnos beds and Nespresso coffee machines.

Speaking of the refurbishment, Anthony Blundell, West Park Hotel Commercial Manager said:

“The West Park Courtyard is going to be the most amazing alfresco space for our guests to drink fine wines, champagne, enjoy our fabulous cocktails and indulge in our delicious seasonal menu. We're all so proud of our new space, nowhere else we know of has heated seats in the North of England, let alone Harrogate!”

You can now book your table at the West Park Courtyard.
