The Squinting Cat is a family-friendly pub restaurant on the outskirts of Harrogate, serving grilled food cooked over an open fire. They've got kids' and dessert menus, and the Wacky Warehouse soft play area keeps children entertained while adults can relax with a drink. The venue is wheelchair accessible throughout, with accessible parking and restrooms. They're dog friendly too, so you can bring your pooch along. Opening hours are 11:30 AM to 10 PM Monday to Friday, and 11:00 AM to 10 PM at weekends. Parents report reasonable prices and food that caters well to fussy eaters, though it's worth noting that an adult needs to supervise children in the play area.

Top tips
- Book ahead for birthday parties to avoid delays and ensure food arrives on time, as one reviewer noted a 40-minute wait during a celebration.
- Arrive on quieter weekday afternoons (around 4pm) if you want a more relaxed atmosphere without large crowds.
- Supervise children in the Wacky Warehouse soft play area at all times, as an adult must stay with them and dogs are not permitted in that section.
- Download the Squinting Cat app and spin the wheel as a new customer for a chance to win a free main, drink, or dessert.
- Take advantage of free parking in the lot and note that the venue is wheelchair-accessible with accessible parking, restrooms, and seating throughout.
