It’s so hard to believe that The Tannin level has now been serving the wonderful people of Harrogate since September 1985; that’s 40 years!
Of course over the last 40 years we have seen many changes in our culinary landscape, and what better way to celebrate our journey through 4 decades than to showcase some of the iconic dishes we have served along the way?
So, for the month of September (we opened our doors on the 9th September 1985), we have re-created some of our favourite and most popular dishes from the last 40 years.
We’ve had such fun putting these dishes together, and we really hope you enjoy the journey with us as we travel through 40 years of The Tannin Level’s culinary history.
And finally, we want to say a huge “thank you” to all our loyal and ever supportive guests; a great many of whom we now consider to be good friends. It is your support and patronage which has fuelled this journey, and we very much hope to enjoy your company in the years to come as our journey continues.

Our Stunning Summer Menu’s are here!
Chef Tobias and his brigade have loved creating this fabulous collection of dishes showcasing the very finest, local, seasonal produce our great county has to offer, and were sure you’ll love them too!
Whether you fancy local, native breed beef, aged to perfection in a Himalayan salt brick chamber, rare breed Yorkshire woodland pork, Yorkshire hillside lamb rump, local free range chicken or fish from the North Yorkshire coast, we have it covered.
So whatever your occasion, from a simple lunch with friends to a Celebration night out, we have something for everyone and every occasion!
Yorkshire on a plate…!
Our scrumptious Midweek Menu features some fantastic dishes using only the very best ingredients available (just like our A La Carte Menu), all of which are carefully designed to satisfy that mid-week itch; the one where you know you want to go out, but just fancy something simple like a really great Burger and a Beer, Free Range Chicken Breast, or our amazing Herb Crusted North Sea Haddock ‘Fish Pie’. Nothing too fancy (that can wait for Saturday), but something that tastes amazing, is really satisfying and won’t break the bank!
Take our new Burger for example; a half pound Signature Burger, seasoned to perfection, with our vintage matured Cheddar, locally cured Smoked Bacon, crisp Lettuce and juicy fresh Tomato’s, all put together in a locally made artisan Bread Bun. It’s The Tannin Level’s obsession for detail and quality applied to a menu full of wonderfully crafted mid week treats.
So after a hard day at work, why not pop in your way home, kick back, relax and forget about the washing up! Our Midweek Menu is available from 5:00pm until 7:00pm Monday to Friday, and if you do fancy something from the A La Carte Menu, then that’s just fine too, it’s available for lunch and dinner every day.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
You can have Sunday Lunch, or you can have a Tannin Level Sunday Lunch! We have our Signature Roasts; Rare Breed Yorkshire Woodland Pork with Crispy Crackling, and our legendary Beef Rump, sourced from local Heritage Breeds and aged to perfection in R&J’s Himalayan Salt Brick Chamber. Probably the best Roast Beef we’ve ever tasted (and we’ve tasted a lot of beef!)
And, we offer a ‘Half and Half’ option, if (like us) you cant decide which Roast you would prefer.
Of course no Sunday Roast would be complete without our Yorkshire Puddings and delicious Roast Potatoes. Plenty of Fresh Seasonal Vegetables on the side, our decadent Cauliflower Cheese and a jug of our Homemade Gravy. Simply perfect!
We also have an ‘All the Veg’ option with vegetarian Gravy, and of course we have plenty of other delicious dishes on the menu if you just don’t fancy a Sunday Roast. What’s not to like?
So go on, book your Tannin Level Sunday Lunch Today!

Winter at The Tannin Level can be quite special. With the cold dark nights, we really appreciate the warmth of stone, brick, wood and leather. And with the lights turned down a little, and candles flickering away on every table The Tannin Level takes on a rather special ambience.
And of course in anticipation of the colder weather, our Head Chef, Toby and his brigade have been rather busy creating some very special dishes which are simply perfect for this time of year, such as our ox cheek with buttered mashed potato, stuffed roscoff onion with creamed spinach, smoked pancetta, bone marrow crumb and red wine jus, and our roast haunch of local salt aged venison with smoked heritage potatoes, game sausage, malt salsify, caramelised onion, Swiss chard, damson & sloe berry ketchup.
Of course our menus are littered with such culinary delights, so why not take a moment or two to browse through them while you’re here?
We are sure you will find something to your liking, and when you do, we very much look forward to welcoming you to The Tannin Level.
Bon Appetit!

We have some amazing dishes on our festive menu’s this year. Of course we have our delicious roast Yorkshire turkey ballotine, wrapped in smokey bacon and stuffed with sage and cranberry stuffing, but we also have local beef, pork, fish, poultry and venison, and of course some amazing veggie dishes too.
Also, many of our dishes are made from non gluten containing ingredients, so great for those guests who have gluten intolerance.

As ever all our menu’s feature the very finest high welfare produce from Yorkshire’s broad acres, all responsibly sourced from our great county’s best producers and delivered fresh to the restaurant every day: Yorkshire on a Plate…
