"Pleasant, brightly-decorated cafe – quite busy at lunchtime. Vegan items marked on menu – I had a nice lasagne. No vegan desserts were shown but, when I asked, it happened that a vegan apple pie had just been made. The pie was nice plus they had soya custard. Staff are informal and friendly. The cafe is literally dog-friendly, with dogs being allowed on the premises."

"Recommended by a family member who has had a few takeaways, so we decided to sit in while visiting. After a few illnesses and cancelled bookings we eventually made it. Food was brilliant and a communication error ended up with us having an extra starter on the house! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"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."

"During our three-night stay, we dined at the restaurant on our first night. Not overly hungry, we opted for two starters each instead of a traditional starter and main course. Both of us started with the mushroom soup, which we found to be delicious. However, we were disappointed by the small portion size served in tiny bowls, especially considering the price of over £6. I mentioned this to the staff as constructive feedback, not as a complaint. For my main course, I enjoyed a smoked chicken Caesar salad with anchovies and cheese (no croutons), which was flavorful and satisfying. My friend ordered köfte kebabs with mint cucumber dressing and toasted pitta bread, which she also found to be delicious. The ambience was nice and the service was excellent even though the restaurant was busy. Overall, the meal was slightly marred by the small soup portion, but everything else was enjoyable."

"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."
