"We were on a short break in Thirsk in late September and looked for a pub that did food. We walked into the Black Lion and were immediately given a very friendly welcome by the landlord/owner and the locals already in there. We spotted some people with what looked like nice meals at the back so asked if we could have a drink first and then have something to eat. Of course! was the reply. When I mentioned that the lady in our party needed a bright table because of an eye problem, the locals, immediately, without being asked, got up from a brightly lit round table in the window and guided us to it. Our drinks were delivered to the table as soon as we were ready for another round, and then when our meals arrived, the food was lovely. The landlord had put us on a tab when we arrived and when we paid at the end of the evening, the cost was very reasonable. The landlord had even sent someone to the local shop to get orange juice, because they had run out, for one of our drinks. The beer was really nice as well. We were that impressed that we booked for the next night, and when we arrived they had set out the same brightly lit table in the window for us. Very nice thank you. We again had some more rounds of their delicious beers, and then a very nice meal again. All in all a great duo of nights. We will return to Thirsk and will definitely visit the Black Lion again."

"Went to the Little 3 in Thirsk for a night out to see a band play. It was a lovely evening the pub is hospitable and the outside beer garden area is fine. But there was a weird problem. I ordered a Bacardi and coke my date said she could taste no Bacardi. She was right. I ordered a second one, this time without ice. Same thing. No taste of Bacardi, no smell of Bacardi, nothing. I was quite sober as I was driving. And my date always feels the effect of one, let alone two, Bacardis but was feeling nothing at all. I checked with a third person, a guy who was also sober as he too was driving. He also could not detect any Bacardi at all. Now, it may be that all three of us were mistaken I should perhaps have ordered a neat Bacardi on its own to check what I was actually buying. Could it be that the Bacardi as sold is being watered down? I don't know and don't want to be unfair to this pub. But three adults, none of whom were drunk, were unable to detect any Bacardi at all in two successive Bacardi cokes. Make of that what you will."

"We visited the dog and gun on Thursday 5th jan for a meal at 6pm with 2 familys on a holiday break at woodland lakes lodges. We booked in advanced and was very welcomed by terry and lesley when we arrived. We opened a tab and ordered some drinks. The waiter was so accommodating with our food orders and lesley came up trumps with some gorgeous food. We had a bit of everything of the menu from starters to deserts and all of it was superb. We have kids between ages 1-10 years and soon as the kids had finished the ice cream lesley and terry put on disco lights and some music. We had a right laugh dancing and having fun. Darts and a Pool table also was a nice addition aswell. Would really like to thank Lesley,Terry and the barman and waitress who really made our last night at Thirsk one to remember. The lodges at woodland lakes were a nice little find but the dog and gun definitely were the highlight of our stay. We cant wait to book again for next year just to see lesleys dance moves "

"This USED to be a great value place to eat and drink. BUT now it’s really downgraded. Don’t get me wrong if you enjoy the staffs screaming kids running around bumping into to you then its the place to go. The food used to be hot tasty and a realistic price but now its all frozen veg overpriced small cold portions and pricey beers. The toilets always stink. Still no lock on the ladies door. The outside area is always a drab mess which when nice weather has the same kids kicking footballs about. The staff always look miserable and non helpful and treat it as a family crèche and family gathering event rather than immerse themselves into what could be a rather profitable business. Give this place a swerve ….. don’t get me started on The Vale of York either "

"Situated on the first floor above the chip shop this is a really good place to eat. I believe it seats 70+ (not sure where I saw this) but there’s lots of space and great views down onto the Market Place. It’s a comfortable and cosy venue with some lovely features-quirky fish shapes, big mirror… The toilets deserve a mention as they are bright, spotless and plenty of room. It was difficult to choose lunch as everything looked so good, but we eventually settled on a pensioner special together with steak pie and chips plus another pot of tea. The portions were very generous and food cooked to perfection; we enjoyed our lunch! I loved the fact that our cutlery was wrapped in the serviette and sealed with a branded sticker. The staff were lovely and very helpful. We were only visiting for a few hours but if we come back to Thirsk, White Horse Cafe will definitely be our lunch venue of choice."
