"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."

"Although not local we don't mind the 45 min drive to eat here. Great food, really good prices, good portions, good staff although occasionally slightly inattentive but nothing to worry about. Nice atmosphere, always busy. We especially love the kids menu as it's something like 7quid for the children to eat some decent food with a drink and desert, when you think a happy meal and ice cream from MCshit is a fiver at least.... And the adult 2 course happy hour is great value."

"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."

"Went on Monday 10th April, greeted with just a hello no smiles as there was a notice on window saying food served daily we thought we would have a bit of dinner on asking who we thought was the proprietor if we could order food he abruptly said we don’t serve food on a Monday. So we decide to go somewhere else and told the proprietor that we would return tomorrow for dinner. We returned the evening after and as usual just greeted with a hello we sat done the waitress came over to ask if we where staying to dine answering her with a yes she then took our drinks order and brought us menus. We browsed through the menus and decide what we would like to eat. The waitress then came to take our order and when telling her what we would like she THEN advised that half of the food on the menu they they hadn’t got. When I personally ask for chicken salad with sweetcorn she scurried away to ask the chef if he could do a chicken salad with sweetcorn she then returned and said NO he can’t do that. So we decided we would go elsewhere. We will NOT be returning there again. the waitress should have informed us as we entered the dog and gun that half the menu was unavailable before taking our drinks order. It seemed to us that they were only interested in locals and not guests. So therefore that is why we have give a one star terrible WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING ANY TIME SOON !!"

"We parked our campervan for the night and arrived late at the restaurant. Even though they had stopped serving food, the staff kindly prepared some delicious burgers and chips for us. The homemade burgers were fantastic and really showcased the quality ingredients they use. The staff and locals were friendly and hospitable. The parking fee for staying overnight was only £10, and they often have live music events. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future. Despite being located next to a railway station and near a road, the noise was not a major issue for us and the location suited our needs perfectly."
