We know there is plenty for people to do from a leisure perspective. The World of James Herriot is obviously the most popular local attraction and its close vicinity to both the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors makes it idea for hiking and exploring.

But…where does one eat? Whether you’re planning a short visit, an extended stay or even if you’re a new resident of the town, we’ll have something to tickle your taste buds on our list of the best restaurants in and near to Thirsk.

The Lord Nelson

The ‘last remaining pub on the green’ serves traditional homemade pub food in it’s newly refurbished lounge area. The food itself is great value for money as the portions tend to be rather generous in size. Sunday Lunch is particularly popular at The Lord Nelson – huge Yorkshire Puddings bursting with tender slices of meat, roast potatoes and freshly cooked veg!
