We called on spec today for a quick lunch prior to visiting friends in the area. The welcome was friendly. Staff and customers were most welcoming to our two little dogs. How nice this was. The food was most acceptable . Decent-sized portions and a lovely selection of seasonal vegetables. Pity not all pubs are so accommodating.

Nice pub we walked too from a Nearby holiday village. Received a warm welcome from Barman and his partner. Would have tried food but the kitchen was going through a deep clean.Thanks again Green Mushroom Jumper Man

Very disappointed, looks very clean n tidy, Called in for a meal on a Tuesday evening but was told had a limited menu after ordering drinks. Left without having a meal,was told menu was limited because of no deliveries from bank holidays. Think management could do better.

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 !!

I will only give constructive criticism. We went as a large party and pre ordered our meals. I myself ordered pate the pate was tasteless and came with 3 small triangles of a loaf crust when asking for more we were told they had ran out of bread. When my main arrived the salmon was very dry the noodles were inedible. My partner had chicken which was also very dry we asked for extra coleslaw to be told no we couldn’t have any. Another member had rare/medium steak the steak was burnt and over well. When voicing our concerns over the food the waitress just walked away. My meal went back as it came and I wasn’t asked why the meal hadn’t been eaten. I would not return and wouldn’t recommend

Despite ordering and paying well in advance (like over a week in advance) our friend annual.get together was spoilt by awfully long waits for the same courses to arrive. Everything seemed to give the impression in was done shoddily and to maximise profit and nothing else. No condiments were on the table and had to be asked for. Things "ran out" and lame excuses were given why certain things, again well pre ordered were no longer available. "Custard" ran out. My substitute sticky toffee pudding costing £6 looked like a 99p microwaved one with one scoop of the cheapest ice cream. My partners main course pie was again awful. There were nearly 30 of us (they wanted to charge extra for the room) on what would have been a very quiet Saturday night in early March. Won't ever be darkening their doors again and would never recommend. Avoid.

Hands down the best Parmo i have ever had! All food was homemade, and you can tell, the taste was unbelievable, and the chips were salted to perfection. If there is anywhere to visit for food in Thirsk, this is the place! The owners and staff were lovely, friendly, and welcoming, which made us feel right at home and were always attentive to everyone in there. Next time we are in Thirsk we will 100% be back here

Left one star because the lady who served us was really nice, here goes...not a restaurant. served eventually. beer wasn't great. fish and chips the worst I have ever had, the batter was bloody awful. the peas were boiled to death. the chips were fried in what can only be described as very cheap oil.don't bother going here, and if you think its me look at my previous reviews, none like this.as for the other reviewers they can only be well, I have no idea.go to the chippy, that wont cost you £75
Very nice, very accommodating, food was spectacular and the service was tremendous. Lovely quaint little pub, kids food was very good and fresh too!

We booked for a large family group to have dinner whilst on holiday at the local lodges. We cannot fault the staff for their service and how personal they made this event. For a large group, the food was perfect, hot and tasty! The staff accommodated the children and were relaxed with my crazy loud family! Not only this being able to play pool and darts whilst the owners got us out a microphone for some karaoke (which they quickly joined us doing) and allowed us to choose our music was a highlight for all of us. We will definitely be returning on our next holiday and recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxed fun night!

Myself and my partner went to a nearly lodge park for a little getaway and went to this Pub on 2 occasions during our stay. The food was incredible and the service was so personable. Every staff member was amazing, highly recommend!

We booked for Sunday lunch which was lovely, I had the vegetarian option and my partner had lamb, both meals were well portioned and absolutely delicious. We stayed to watch the football and chatted to staff team who were friendly and welcoming. We were staying at the lodges down the toad, so decided to return as we enjoyed it so much. On the 2nd visit I had the beer battered cider and my partner had the homemade burger, again the food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely highky recommend this lovely local pub for food and drinks...x

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 movesThanks again, hope you all have an amazing year as you clearly derseve it with the hospitality skills you have.
