New life for the beautful building on Harrogate s Stray

Many people don’t have the greatest relationship with a sprout, pickled or otherwise, but when they arrive in a haze of twinkly lights and burst of botanics, what’s not to love?
The Pickled Sprout is the gorgeous new incarnation of The Yorkshire Hotel on the Stray in Harrogate. December is the season of the sprout so it seems fitting that this place should open up at this time of year.
The exterior of the building is gilded in golden lights and looks shimmery-perfect and so inviting. Opening a new place in the midst of a pandemic is a brave move but all the Covid-safe stuff is second nature to hotels and bars now and it’s no different here – even clever gadgetry to check your temperature at the hotel reception.
