When Bloomberg Businessweek named Harrogate the most prosperous place to live in the UK, money grew on trees for some Harrogate residents. Others were more realistic and realized that they could not afford to eat at every restaurant (and buy Harrogate’s famous bath bombs) without breaking their piggy banks.
Fortunately, Harrogate has many restaurants to choose from where all budgets are welcome. Whether you want five-star food or something quick and easy, Harrogate offers the best of both worlds.
