The Kestrel - Harrogate

I was surprised to read a review claiming that Kestrel has stopped catering to vegans, as my recent experience at the restaurant was quite the opposite. Kestrel is part of the Vintage Inns chain of pubs, which offers several vegan options on their menu that I found to be quite delicious. During my visit, I enjoyed the squashsage and fungus roll for starters, followed by the Penang Curry for my main course. The curry had a fresh Thai aroma with a good level of spice. For dessert, I tried the Panna Cotta which was delightfully fresh and smooth, topped with plenty of fresh fruit. I also had the Moving Mountains Burger, which I had enjoyed on a previous visit. Overall, there are plenty of delicious vegan options on the menu at Kestrel, making it a great choice for both vegans and their omni friends or family.

I made a reservation for a table of 8 at Rank, but I was told that they no longer cater to vegans since the lockdown. However, I was still able to have soup and salad. The menu options were limited for vegan customers.

We had a really good dining experience on Wednesday night at The Kestrel. Three friends and I tried the festive menu, which offered a choice of two or three courses. As someone with celiac disease who needs to avoid gluten, I often struggle to find suitable options when dining out. However, our server Jack was knowledgeable and helpful in pointing out which dishes were gluten-free. My friends who do eat gluten also enjoyed their meals. Overall, it was a great night with delicious food and wonderful company.

Great personal fantastic eating will come back for the 3rd stay. can not recommend this place enough that they go the extra mile and more.
