F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- Do you allow dogs inside the pub?
- As much as we love dogs, as it's only a small pub with just 9 inside tables, we don't allow dogs to stay inside the pub but we do allow dogs into our cosy courtyard where you'll find shelter, heaters, blankets, dog bowls and biscuits. To get to the courtyard you do need to come through the front door of the pub with your dog and head up the steps to the courtyard at the rear.
- How long will my table reservation be held for if I'm running late?
- 5 minutes. Please phone us on 01423 313461 to let us know in advance if you won't be on time for your table reservation. With only 9 tables inside the pub, they are often in high demand so we can't hold them for long.
- What kind of food do you serve? (We don't serve a Sunday Roast, chips or burgers)
- A selections of cured meats, cheeses, breads, olives, chutney, crackers, pickled onions & cornichons served on wooden sharing boards. In addition we make our own chicken liver pate and wholesome soups and we serve a tasty houmus with toast too. For dessert we home bake chocolate brownies, salted caramel & pecan brownies along with rocky roads and Victoria sponge muffins. We also serve our homemade stone baked pizzas on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. See the photos for the full menu.

All staff are very friendly, the food offering is simple and different to other pubs which makes it special and it is always of good quality - the pizzas are 1st class. Getting your repeat drinks by the staff coming to your table and asking rather than queuing at the bar sets it apart from other pubs and needs to be maintained as does being able to book a table.

Tom and his team treated us very well. We love the table booking service, will make us more likely to come again on a weekend. It can get noisy at times, hence the lower ambience score, but that’s due to the size & acoustics of the space. It’s a very pretty space to spend time in. Maybe a change in music? Or variety across a few hours? It used to be more indie music which we definitely preferred to the 50s 60s tunes. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Always a great place to relax and enjoy a drink or some food. The pub will remain in safe hands with the recent change in management as Tom and Molly have been working there for some time and understand customer service. They also know their local customers very well. An excellent pub!

Absolutely outstanding in every way. A lovely, genuine, warm welcome on arrival accompanied by excellent service throughout. This is then followed by very high quality, super tasty food, all prepared to perfection. The young couple running The Half Moon deserve success and we wish them well. A huge thank you to them and their whole team; you were all faultless in your customer service, cheerful and a pleasure to meet.

I love this place. The food is good, from a sensibly limited menu. The atmosphere is always excellent and the range of beer and wine well kept and served. But the very best thing of all is the service. The staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

Usual great welcome by all bar staff for myself and party. Prebooked table was available. Placed drinks order and they were promptly delivered to our table. Did not require any food. Bar staff were on hand at the table to take subsequent drinks orders. Well done Tom and all the team. My visitors were very impressed with the friendly and efficient service.

Always a great service when you visit the Half Moon. Friendly staff who go out of their way to talk to you, offer advice about things in Knaresborough, and generally make you feel welcome. Food is lovely, and always served up with minimal wait. Well worth a visit if you want some good food and drink in a quieter pub, with a great location near the river.

First time. Really busy pub. Loved the food boards and desserts. Got crowded and busy at times. Serving staff were wonderful. Got a bit noisy at times but that's tobe expected in a small space. Cosy meal on a cold winter day.
