Drum and Monkey Description
A visit to 'The Drum', as the locals call it is like a warming step back in time with a richness and grandeur in the decor and atmosphere that gives you a feeling of comfort and importance. It is most definitively a place for the fanatical fish lover with not even the faintest of nods to the carnivores. You will find yourself amongst hordes of seafood enthusiasts enjoying such delicacies as whiting soup, poached sea trout, smoked haddock florentine and a wonderful seafood pie. With a wine list which is a revelation and house wines from £13.50 you will want to settle in for a while.
The Drum and Monkey was sold in the latter part of 2003 to Jan Fletcher, OBE, a local businesswoman and entrepreneur who has a passion for good seafood restaurants; her other restaurant Bryan's won the Leeds Best Fish and Chip Restaurant Award 2007. Against the odds, Ms Fletcher has carefully maintained the reputation, atmosphere and traditional hearty menu that previous owner William Fuller was so famous for, making The Drum one of the best seafood restaurants in Yorkshire.
Your Reviews of Drum and Monkey
Kim (17 April 2008)
We visited Harrogate for a conference and Drum & Monkey was highly recommended by a friend. I love seafood and thought it was fantastic. We felt like we'd uncovered a little gem.
Peter (23 November 2007)
I dined at the Drum last night for the first time in several years and thought it was fantastic. The food was as good as I remembered. I had the excellent Queen scallops which I'd dreamed about from childhood, and the cod from the Special's board which didn't disappoint. We went early doors and the restaurant was buzzing. The new owners have improved the décor since my last visit - which was dated and fuddy duddy - but managed to keep the charm and atmosphere that was always there. I thought that considering fish prices at the moment, the meal was value for money. I cannot recommend the Drum highly enough, the place is a must visit for anyone with a penchant for seafood or frankly, good food.
