While the art was anything but affordable, we did at least manage to buy something at the courtyard cafe.

The courtyard cafe was very busy and it looked as though the only available tables were outside in the sub zero temperature. Fortunately a fellow diner told us to go through a couple of unmarked doors where an overflow restaurant area was located, so we moved back to the serving area and selected our lunch.

I actually only wanted a light bite, but the choices were a little obscure. The sandwich and baked potato choice was very limited and not particularly obvious (wot no tuna?) and at around £6 each was only a couple of quid cheaper than a full meal. So, burger and chips it was. There were some other reasonable traditional choices on offer like fish and chips or cottage pie, but anyone fancying a spicier dish would be out of luck.

They had a good choice of adult soft drinks, although I was a little put out that I had to suggest to the server that I might appreciate a glass rather than drink it out of the bottle.

Being in the overflow seating area meant we were a little concerned that our meal server might not find us, but we need not have worried. The venue inside wasn't as impressive as the grand court yard exterior, looking and feeling distinctly works canteen in style; at least in the overflow area we did not have to suffer the screaming and marauding kids, and to be honest, that didn't look too "Harewood House" either. Still it is the food that matters.

My burger was most impressive; both very large and handmade, with a nice runny slab of cheese running down the side. I also like the rough cut coleslaw, the sea of chips (fries) and lettuce on the side. I didn’t mean to eat it all as my father in law was cooking dinner later that day, but it was too good to resist.

To sum up, the Harewood House Courtyard Cafe offers reasonably priced and good quality main meals, although those looking for just a snack might find the choice a little lacking. The venue outside is lovely, and I can imagine those winter deserted tables being much sought after in warmer months.
