Six Poor Folk

Nice pub, decent beers. Its a very popular place so it can be fairly well packed and because its small it can get a bit claustrophobic for me. There's a great outdoor section though and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Haven't had food here so I cant review that. If youre going to knaresborough this is a great pub to visit along with many others.

My wife and I stayed at Knaresborough and found this gem of a place. Right in the middle of town but slightly set back helped to keep it quiet and not overcrowded. Really lovely chilled out vibe. Great lighting and relaxing music. Nice menu, reasonably priced. Cafe during the day and more upbeat pub at night with beer garden, which we popped back for on the night after being impressed with the place for our brunch earlier in the day. Will definitely return next time we visit Knaresborough.

Recommended by the tour guide at the castle in Knaresborough. This place did not disappoint. I was looking for a 'Sunday Roast' and it delivered! Absolutely delicious. I was warmly greeted by the owner and enjoyed a lovely totally English meal here. A souvenir to remember.

Food was good with slightly hard green beans but everybody's tastes are different We had chicken Sunday roast. I had a nice pint of cask bitter and my other half had Lager and lime. Price was £45 roughly. Staff, from walking in to leaving were polite and very helpful.

First Visit to Knaresborough – A Summer Surprise at Six Poor Folk It was my first time visiting Knaresborough, and a heatwave had just arrived. The sun was blazing, and we were desperate to find somewhere indoors for lunch — and to cool off. That’s how we ended up at Six Poor Folk. The interior felt like a cosy little cottage, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto the charming street scene outside. There’s even an upstairs seating area. The whole place felt clean, tidy, and inviting. We were greeted by a lovely waitress with beautiful long hair — friendly and chatty — who brought us chilled water with lemon slices to help us cool down. Such a thoughtful touch. There were two of us, and we ordered the Fish Butty with hand-cut chips and the Buffalo Chicken. The presentation was elegant and the flavours didn’t disappoint. The haddock in the Fish Butty was perfectly cooked, paired with fresh and crispy baby gem lettuce — absolutely delicious. The Buffalo Chicken came with a green sauce that was both unique and flavourful, adding an interesting twist to the dish. But the biggest surprise? The ladies’ toilet. It was spotless — honestly one of the cleanest I’ve ever come across — and stocked with thoughtful extras like feminine products. A small detail, but it left a big impression. All in all, Six Poor Folk offered not just a lovely meal but also a truly welcoming and comfortable experience. Would definitely return!
