A wonderful and magical experience for fans of James Herriot! The World of James Herriot is a small but incredibly rich museum that beautifully captures the life and legacy of the real James Herriot (Alf Wight), his veterinary practice, and the world he wrote about so lovingly. The museum is set in his original home and surgery, offering an authentic and intimate look into his daily life and work. One of the highlights is seeing the actual set used in the All Creatures Great and Small series, alongside a fascinating collection of vintage veterinary tools and historical displays about the profession. It's a real treat for anyone interested in veterinary history or a fan of the books and shows. While there is an entry fee, it's absolutely worth it. The museum may be small, but it's packed with charm and nostalgia. If you're a fan of All Creatures Great and Small, this place is magical. The surrounding area of Thirsk is equally lovely – a picturesque Yorkshire market town that adds even more charm to the visit. Highly recommended for fans and curious visitors alike!

We absolutely loved this museum devoted to the life of the original James Herriot (pen name). It is the original house and veterinary office of the man behind the books All Creatures Great and Small. We appreciated the attention to detail throughout the rooms, and were fascinated to learn about the filming of the series that ran on BBC for many years. Upstairs there is a veterinary medicine museum that features equipment used to treat farming animals over the years, as well as a hands on kids museum with some delightful sets to entertain. We left having learned about the real life veterinarian challenges as well an insight to the amazing man behind the books. Parking is in the main Thirsk Pay & Display lot in the center of the town. It's about 2 blocks from the museum entrance.

If you're a James Herriot fan, this is a must see destination. Wasn't on our to-do list, but was a quick train ride from York, so decided to check out Thirsk. The museum was full of interesting items and information. Cool to actually be in the house where the books were written, where Wight practiced and where parts of the first series of All Creatures were filmed. Regarding Thirsk, we visited on race day and a weekend so the town had tons of traffic and the square was crowded. Outside of Herriot World, not much in Thirsk. The train station is 1.5 miles or so from town. 8.5 pounds entrance fee.

A very enjoyable time going round this museum. With several interactive games for entertainment for adults and kids alike if you want a go. Great value for money at £8.50 a adult. It says allow 1hr 30 mins to go round we were there over 2 hours. Enjoyed every minute. Not really knowing much about James herriot did not matter on visiting.

Visited The World of James Herriot in Thirsk and absolutely loved it! It was amazing, interesting, and really informative — fantastic value for money. Perfect for anyone who loves animals, the Yorkshire countryside, or the Yorkshire Vet. There’s so much to see and learn, and it’s all presented in such an engaging way. By far the best attraction I’ve visited for the price — a million times better value than the overrated York Dungeon, which felt overpriced and tacky by comparison. The James Herriot experience is full of heart, history, and charm. Highly recommend!

This was fabulous. A fan of all creatures great and small or not. Very interesting walk into the past.

Lovely museum wonderfully preserved with memorabilia from past productions of James Herriot. A fun top floor area for children to get a feel for being a vet and learning about animals. Plus a very interesting museum on veterinary tools and practices from bygone days.

Lovely day, very pretty venue and looking in tip top condition, even the weather turned out great. We will definitely be back again. 👌👍

First visit to Thirsk Racecourse and what a fabulous day! Made to feel extremely welcome the minute we walked through the gates. Really well managed inside, all the stewards were friendly and helpful. Only downside was if you are sitting out of the sun under the gazebo it gets very cold very quickly, so had to keep my coat on all day. Hopefully next time the sun will be more apparent. Could not fault the facilities or the service. Will definitely be back very soon.

Had a fantastic day yesterday (2nd August 2025). The live band was amazing, everyone was dancing, drinking having a great day. We often go to Thirsk but go in picnic area, decided to go into grandstand and so glad we did. Thirsk really know how to keep their customers happy. Loads of choice from pizza ,kebab,burritos, chips, burgers, ice cream and much more, even my 12 year old grandson enjoyed his day. Thank you Thirsk for a great day, and I never had a drop of alcohol (was driving) I would definitely recommend it for a fantastic day out

It was my first time at Thirsk and a very enjoyable evening. I brought my granddaughter with me who had a great time, she enjoyed the hamburgers and ice cream and the free bouncy castle and also picked a winner. Found the people very friendly and talkative. Wasn't overcrowded so could move around freely. No long wait for food and drinks. Had a couple of winners and a free shuttle bus to and from the train station. Thinking of going back for family day. Winner winner all around.

Nice course but the premier enclosure tickets are not worth money. You are unable to take your drinks up into the stand behind so cannot get an elevated view of the race. We unknowingly bought a bottle of Prosecco to share and because we were then restricted to a small area, were unable to see the first two races. We ended up spending the rest of our day in the grandstand because the view was so so poor. If the enclosure fence was moved to before the stand entrance, premier members would be able to access the area with their drinks and enjoy the races too. On a high note the staff were super friendly.

Did park and ride, a d find it good value for money compared to similar on other courses. Was very busy day but plenty of facilities to cater for all. Only problems in my opinion is another viewing screen is needed as those present can't be seen from the picnic enclosure. Also next enclosure along where screen can be seen, we struggled to get room where viewing ramp is for wheelchair users. Full family's using, and didn't volunteer to move had to be asked by us and other wheelchair users. This happened on our previous visit also, however on that visit a staff member kept moving people. On this last visit no one was moved the whole afternoon, even though I mentioned the problem to a member of staff. There are no signs either informing people it's for wheelchair users

the racecourse as always was lovely staff helpful and friendly. Howerever, the cost of food and drink is ridiculous nearly £8 a pint of very average lager isnt going to make people rush back

Lovely little town square with some lovely independent shops as you'd expect. Very friendly locals and a great mix of visitors. Parking was free for one hour or £1.50 for 2 hours. That was enough time for a mooch and quick lunch.

So nice to see the knitted tributes around the market square

Lovely open Yorkshire market place with paid parking during the day Monday to Saturday. Several cafes and pubs (including a Wetherspoons). Several UK High Street shops but also several independents. All in all, a great place to visit for a couple of hours.

We love Thirsk at every time of the year. We always make an effort to visit twice. Fantastic selection of independent shops. Lovely community. Brilliant market and awesome tourist information centre. So much to do. If I can say. Avoid race days!

What a gem! Took advantage of the outdoor seating, as the weather was lovely. Set in the middle of Thirsk, there's also a 70 plus seater restraunt. One portion of traditional fish and chips for my wife, and a chicken breast and chips for me. Delicious! Minimal wait, especially considering how busy they were. All deliciously and freshly prepared. Gorgeous.

Good for visiting James Herriot World

I just love Thirsk for a stop when travelling through the area. The atmosphere in the square is magical and being able to sit and eat the best Fish & Chips for miles at tables outside the restaurant on a sunny day is an excellent experience.

First time here and would recommend to any age group. Animals are well cared for and there is a good range of activities for children to take part. The have a pig race during the day which was fun to watch as the pigs seemed to be the ones in charge. There's a lovely woodland walk too.

We traveled 3,500 miles & Monks Park was on our itinerary as we saw it on The Yorkshire Vet. A great place to visit with or without children. Up close encounter with Pygmy goats, highland cows & alpacas was a special joy. The paved walk through the property & woodland trail was so peaceful. A very clean environment for the animals & visitors. Highly recommend visiting for kids 4 to 99 years old. Handicap accessible.

We visited for the adults only date night on a Friday. Overall enjoyable experience with a range of activities throughout the night including pig racing, meeting the animals and tractor rides. There was various food and drink vans and a live singer which added to the experience. Only downside was there was no sheltered areas for when it began to rain. Definitely worth the £12 per person entry for a different night out.

Had a great evening pumpkin picking — really enjoyed it! There were lots of different pumpkins to choose from, great food options, and a lovely atmosphere. I also loved visiting all the animals. It was my first time visiting, and I’d definitely return!

Great place for a day out with the kids. Probably up to 10 years old. Our 5 and 8 year old grandchildren loved it. Price is very reasonable for a family ticket. Food in the cafe was good, and not actually that expensive compared to similar places. Lots of activities in a beautiful setting. Only negative would be the lack of places to cool off on a very hot sunny day. We survived though.

Great farm for a family day out. We were camping nearby and decided to come here for the day and there were so many different activities and animals to keep the kids busy and entertained. The multiple play parks are great sizes for kids of all ages, the staff are very friendly and the sand pit especially was a huge hit. This farm is definitely one of the best for “value for money” and we’ll be back when next in the area!

My son loved the expirence, suitable for his age range. Not too much going on that he became overwhelmed, just enough. Visited the farm also and was amazing. Loved the hands on expirences. Definately come again and looming forward to booking christmas experience too.

No problem with car parking but not a weekend or school holidays. We did the yellow walk which was challenging initially up very steep steps/ trail. Then walked all round the top by the glider field. Dog friendly but we did put ours on a lead around the top when there were steep drops and no fences (I don't trust him not to leap off!) Downward section steep and rocky. I imagine it would be slippery if raining but the sun was out for us. Really enjoyed it.

We didn’t get up close, we saw it from the distance. For the enthusiast who wants to get up close, there is a small car park nearby. Fun to have seen it.

Lovely views and a good walk. We started in the small car park near the horse and walked via the visitor centre to Sutton Bank. Lots of effort has been put in place to accommodate people in wheelchairs (if you park at the visitor centre). Food and cakes great at the visitor centre car park and a first rate cup of tea. Unless your dog is very sensible, keep it on a lead as there are some really steep and unfenced drops. Also great for watching the gliders.

We called here on the way home from Thirsk. A bit of a winding road to get there. There are other places you can stop nearby. £2.50 to park but the money goes to the forestry commission. You can use the slope of steps to walk to the top of the white horse.

Was driving past it as we spotted it so had to park up and get a photo of this famous landmark in North Yorkshire

Amazing chalk cut out of the white horse cut into the hills. Lovely walks and the daffodils looked beautiful on the side by the car park

Not a pretty site up close, just a pile of off white chalky rocks, very long steep climb up around the top of the horse and some muddy woods to walk through at the bottom by car park, £2.00 charge for all inc. Blue badges. If you have any disabillity avoid it, view from a distance or hire one of the gliders next door.

Lovely place to have full English for my lunch and coffee. Delicious scone it will be even better with clotted cream. Be honest the price is a bit pricey but I think it’s everywhere after Covid.

A lovely cafe / Tea room in the centre of Thirsk. Varied menu and a good selection of specials, had a wonderful breakfast and coffee here. Staff are always friendly and welcoming, can get busy at times but that just shows how good it is!

Fantastic little cafe, staff were lovely and helpful. Had a slice of the most amazing chocolate orange cake and the coffee was excellent too. Would definitely recommend.

This is obviously a very popular cafe in the centre of Thirsk; we were lucky to get seating near the counter and it was full whilst we were there. There is also a small amount of seating outside with great views of the Market Place. It’s quite a quirky place with lots of memorabilia linked to cycling. Service was reasonably quick. I had a piece of gluten free lemon drizzle cake which was excellent; was pleased to see that it was clearly marked and under a separate cake dome. My husband had coffee and a very large scone which he enjoyed.

We called in today for breakfast and have to say this is one of the most friendly cafes we have been in! We had our dog with us and were immediately welcomed, we ordered small breakfasts which were a generous size and totally delicious, our dog was very impressed with his doggy sausage and bowl of fresh water brought for him! Well worth a visit if you are in Thirsk!

Stopped off at Thirsk while touring in the Yorkshire Dales, and had a late lunch at this welcoming little café in the marketplace. It was very busy when I arrived, but I managed to get a small table inside. The café seems very popular with cyclists, and the walls are covered with cycling memorabilia as well as nice artwork. There's a clean toilet behind the counter. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. The menu offered a good choice of breakfasts, sandwiches, toasties and lunchtime specials. There was a wide selection of speciality teas, and you can also get beer and wine here. I ordered a homemade vegetable quiche with salad and a tasty homemade coleslaw. The quiche was delicious and piping hot, and the salad, with radishes and beetroot as well as the usual tomato and greens, was crisp and fresh. Generous portions. The pot of good Yorkshire tea was served with a jug of hot water. There were also mugs, tea towels, preserves and other gifts for sale. A very satisfying lunch experience! Would definitely come here again.

This was a chance find. The toasted sandwiches were the best that I have tasted with a nice salad with nice extra bits like carrot and beetroot. The coffee was good as well. Atmosphere was excellent.

Accommodated walkin at 4 pm on Saturday without a booking for a quick meal. Excellent service in a very clean restaurant with handicap accessibility. Lively place for gatherings in the center of Thirsk. Gets noisy quickly. Entrees: Special of the day: Fruitta Del Mar of mix seafood: mussels, salmon, cod in a light tomato based sauce with mixed olives was tasty. Cod was dry as old boots. Rice with sautéed veggies on top was very good. Fish & chips was crunchy on top but soggy on the bottom. Large steak cut chips were ok with basic tartare sauce. Peas looking a bit wrinkly in a cup were ok-love peas & ate them anyway due to hunger. Very fresh salad with some white bitter iceberg in the middle. Good Evoo to drizzle on salad. A local chef recommended the risotto but I make it often myself being Italian. Outside one can smell oil in over cooked garlic. When we left our clothes smelled the same way. Nonetheless, the staff made up for a “meh” meal. Nice wine selection. Very clean bathrooms with handicapped access on 1st floor. Cashless payment available.

Was a nice Italian, with English dishes for those with a plainer plate. Plenty of room inside with bright and clean. A couple of small tables outside, we sat there due to dogs. Our first visit we had pizza and was pleasantly surprised. A good pizza done in authentic pizza oven. Not a bad price, like all places drink is the costliest item on the menu! Would happily recommend.

We had a really lovely meal at this fantastic italian. It was extremely busy but they still accommodated us without a booking. The food was excellent. Really tasty! We managed to get the early bird menu which was great value for money. We really recommend this restaurant and the staff were friendly and attentive!

An amazing place with cocktail bar attached. Great value. Very popular so good idea to book at wkend. The shared platter is awesome

Absolutely stunning food and the service is outstanding. Make sure you book your table i advance as it is very popular!

We visit my auntie in Thirsk, and always have our meals out at Bianco Risterante. Staff are great, super friendly place. And the food is beautiful, especially the Sunday Dinner 🍽

My partner and myself arrived in Thirsk quite hungry. It was 3.30pm and we hadn't eaten. We stumbled upon this restaurant and read the menu outside, So decided to dine there. We were welcomed with a lovely smile and shown to a seat and eventually (the only hiccup) were brought a menu. We chose from the set menu and we were not disappointed. The starters were substantial and delicious and the main courses...a pizza and a chicken dish were exceptional. ..with drinks £42 was a bargain and we will make our way to return again.

Delicious, one of the best fish and chip suppers I have had from a takeaway shop. Lovely large fish with a light golden batter & lovely tasting chunky chips, freshly cooked to order. Price good, portion size great, bring your appetite. 3 portions purchased for family and all very happy. Big thumbs up.

Get hooked on Westgate Fish & Chips in Thirsk. Meet the charming folks who will provide a huge & delicious meal that’s larger than your face at a remarkably low cost. We had so much fun chatting with everyone. What makes traveling memorable. We were steered here from a local while in a pub, saying this was the best in town & he was right! The portions as shown were large, light crisp batter (gluten free option), too many chips for one person- all fried perfectly in good flavored, clean oil. Big plus. Great mushy peas. Get a large side container. So yummy. One of the best memories was that as the locals passed by the owners had a few moments to chat & say hello to them & their dogs. Lovely. It’s what makes Thirsk a special & beautiful town to visit in North Yorkshire. Cashless option Handicap accessible with one small step. Free smiles.

Had our friends from Poland visiting and took them here after a day out in York. and They literally can’t stop talking about the food (delicious), the staff (super lovely and welcoming), and the handsome dude who helped serve us. (He’s not my type, but undeniably objectively attractive.) Great value, lovely staff, amazing fish and chips and mushy peas. Would give 6+ stars if possible 👌❤️

Had a fantastic fish n chip supper from here last night. Staff, prices, atmosphere & of course the food. 10 out of 10. Many thanks to Graham & the staff. Ian & Susan 😉

First visit and was very impressed. Staff were very friendly and super helpful and the food was lovely. My Mum was delighted at the Gluten free options and I'm sure will be visiting frequently from now on!

Usually I'm dubious when someone gives a recommendation but many thanks for Dave putting me on to this establishment after a hard day's graft hit the spot perfectly. Then looking at crowd of locals that gathered just as I had received my evening meal can see why it's a favourite with them . Once I got to my car and parked up presentation was perfect the new potatoes were cooked how they should be then the fish was absolutely delicious so definitely can only give a 5star review ! Thankyou soo much for the extras to which I saw the price more than reasonable, I've paid more for a lesser quality product . Then lastly the staff were professional but also friendly many thanks. I'll definitely Recommend to friends and colleagues and I'll no doubt look forward to going here again . Rick TM working on A19 .

wow what lovely people - gluten feee available all of the time, gave us directions to the best pub in town and gave our dogs sausages and lovely fish and chips! highly recommended thank you!

The location and interior are excellent, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food was good, though perhaps a little on the pricey side for what it was. Service could have been better — our drinks order wasn’t taken before the food, and one of the wine glasses had lipstick on it. Some staff seemed disengaged, and no one checked in during the meal. These things let the experience down slightly, but overall it was still a good evening.

A few years since we were in the area, and since we ate at the Carpenters Arms. It was brilliant then, so had to return. And we weren’t disappointed. A very busy evening, but the service was excellent. The food was first class. We ate in the conservatory on a very hot evening, and the patio doors being open created a perfect temperature and atmosphere.. Well done to all.

Wonderful Sunday roast! Have eaten here previously and both visits have been great but the Sunday roast was top notch - everything was cooked to perfection including the buttery soft, pink beef. Lovely wine selection too. Service was brilliant - staff checked in during each course to check everything was OK - attentive but not overbearing. It appeared that most, if not all, of the tables were booked and the restaurant was busy, however the service and pace of dishes being served (and plates subsequently being cleared from the table) was faultless. No delays but also not rushed - a lovely relaxing end to the weekend! Just a really fabulous visit 😊

Lovely room, easy to walk in disabled bathroom, with shower. Bed not too high, to be able to get into, being only 5 foot, I often find it difficult, but not here, to room has a mini fridge with little bottles of fresh milk, a nice touch. Menu is good, plenty to choose from, not being vegetarian, I didn't notice any vegetarian food, staff enquired about any allergies, which was good. Food was very nice and cooked well.

Ate last night in the Carpenter’s Arms with family. Best yet. Two young girls waiting on were Stars 🌟 Food choice better now with the added twist of chef specials. On time, and very tasty. Could not fault one starter or main (No room for dessert 🍮) Nailed it 👍🏻

I was disappointed with our stay the room was nice but very warm and no Air-conditioning. The bathroom was like a sauna and had the underfloor heating on .Our toilet didn't flush properly. When we had our meal in the evening we were kept waiting even though there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. They were out of various things .The win we wanted they were waiting for there suppliers. At breakfast they didn't have any fruit they were waiting for suppliers.

Didn’t stay over, just visited for a meal. The staff were very attentive and polite. The food was delicious. Vey nice ambiance. The accommodation looked stunning from outside, with beautiful gardens.

Great place for walks and mountain bikes. We took 4 teenage lads who decided to do the 18 mile red circuit which was beautiful, the sun was shining and the views were amazing. Be warned the last couple of miles are the hardest as you make your way back up Sutton Bank to the car park and there were a few occasions when I had to push the bike. There are two other routes with the green easier route and a blue intermediate route. There is a beautiful little cafe half way around where you can grab a drink and catch your breath. The views from Sutton Bank, on a clear day, are stunning. It's definitely recommended.

Great visitors centre with plenty information for the walks and mountain bike trails, cafe, and reasonably priced parking. You'll need at least 2 hours if you're going to venture any further than the immediate viewpoint on foot. To do the top of Kilburn White horse, it's on a 4km loop. There's a m/bike hire centre on site if that's your fancy. The closest viewpoint is just about doable by wheelchair with an experience aid.

Great scenic hot spot for walks and exploring.. both the white horse side where you can watch the gliders. Or walk along the top of the cliff on the same side as the tourist centre, gorgeous views.. loads of parking.. only issue is there isn't many bins around

Stunning views, lovely walks and a fascinating history to learn about. Relatively flat if you walk the main route to the white horse, so suitable for disabled access. You do have to pay for parking but didn't mind because of how beautiful and well kept the nature trails were. Definitely would visit again.

Much improved place to park for loads of available walks or even just a coffee and snack. One downside, parking tariff is 'Up to 2 Hours' or 'Over 2 hours' they could have had a few more options since a lot of walks are over 2 hours. Other than this, brilliant. 👍🏼

Great walks here to suit all. Fairly flat ones or steep one down to Gormire Lake. Disabled can do some of them on electric trampers. Fantastic views. Good picnic site with tables & benches.

Amazing views. Really enjoyable walk. Blaze had fun watching the Gliders taking off and landing.

I love this independent bookshop with a combined cafe. The staff are helpful and friendly they take book orders also and sometimes you can meet the authors for readings and book signings.

Great coffee, we sat in the back garden bit. Great service. A great selection of books, cards, pens and certain items of stationery. In the bookshop also kind and helpful staff.

What a find!! Amazing coffee and delicious cake, plus a great, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, all within a super bookshop; what more could you ask for?! 😄😋🤷‍♀️. There were dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan cakes available, too! 👌

An absolute delight. Quiet beautiful back garden, friendly helpful staff. My sweetie and I are visitors from America and we both wanted to try the White Rose Savory Tea: fresh cheese scone, chutney jam, Wensleydale cheese and Yorkshire tea. All delicious. A friend who lived in Yorkshire for many years told us to be sure and try Wensleydale cheese (best in the world) and it sure was good. I found that scone, butter, chutney jam and a slab of cheese all chewed together was exquisite. We also enjoyed a nice conversation with a young man who works here, comparing driving the steep hills of my native San Francisco with the steep hills of the Yorkshire Dales. The cafe is very child friendly, with a playhouse for the little ones. And by the cash register was a basket of apples from somebody’s tree and a sign saying help yourself.

A hidden gem of a place. Beautiful cake and hot chocolate. Friendly staff. Outdoor area for family and kids. Great selection of books. Amazing vibes will be back again

Lovely bookshop and café. Very friendly staff, quite happy to let you browse. My little granddaughter lives it!

Lots of books to browse. Lovely gifts. A cute little cafe at the back with super service. I had broccoli, stilton and wenslydale cheese soup which was delicious.

Nice place and presented well with good service . Food is average to good depending what you get. Atmosphere is likewise depending on the clientele. Prices are reasonable for the location. There are many alternatives for eats in the area. We had a takeaway on our visit this time; the fish was done well with crispy batter, yet the chips were soft and floppy - we like ours with a little crunch. Overall it was pleasant enough but nothing to write home about.

Our first trip to Thirsk and across the road from our hotel was this Chop shop. Yorkshire chip shops have a good name, so gave it a try. We did enjoy it although I would not give it 5 stars it was ok. Fish was nice a bit too much batter for me. Staff very friendly and nice. Not much seating area, but benches outside.

I came here a year ago and it was 5 stars across the board. This time it was very disappointing. The chips tasted odd, perhaps it was the potato variety, and the plate was very greasy. The fish was ok but last time it was excellent. My 3 year old granddaughter who at 2 years old had eaten practically all of a child’s fish only managed a couple of bites this time. So to sum up; if there’s nothing else try this place and you might be lucky otherwise don’t as you might get a not so good day.

Pleasantly situated in the market place thirsk this takeaway restaurant is extremely popular with good outside sitting area loverly upstairs restaurant and some inside sitting places downstairs absolutely delicious fish and chips also does ice creams in the takeaway at front of building nice pleasant staff delicious experience

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.

It was a 3 hour drive to get here but worth it. Excellent fish and chips, friendly staff. Will be back next time I'm out for a drive. A second visit from Scotland in two weeks and they're still great. Will be back for more.

Myself and 2 friends drive 30 mins each way to have dinner here every fortnight, the young ladies in the restaurant are fabulous. We don’t even need to order as they know our usual routine. Top class service, top class food and a great price. Love it 🐠🍟

Lovely deli and cafe in Thirsk. We went as a group for brunch and had a good fill! As a vegan, I was happy they could adapt the breakfast for me and the tea selection was fab :)

Visited this week, great place. Only had scones, cheese & fruit both delicious, meals that came out looked the same. Varied menu. Would definitely recommend.

lovely and quaint, great produce downstairs and lovely food and service upstairs. Super quaint little place. Will be back!

We dropped in here for a coffee and cake, the coffee was really nice and the vanilla slice i had was delicious. We would definitely drop back in if we return to Thirsk.

Aesthetically pleasing cafe with a delicious and unique selection of food. The staff were friendly and helpful. The scotch egg was delicious and was accompanied with a good size salad and two healthy wedges of cheese.

Lovely spot!! Gorgeous deli downstairs full of stuff you didn't know you needed! Sandwich bar behind this but upstairs is the cafe! Only small but characterful! We only had coffee and cake today but other people's lunch looked delicious. My latte was smooth and velvety and I loved the mugs! And the cakes were beautifully presented!!! Oh my goodness! Passion fruit, physalis, blue berries and cream! Gorgeous!! Yes, I would recommend it to anyone that can manage stairs. Great little spot!

I got a great delivery sandwich from here before leaving Thirsk. The service was great, and the selection in the delicate was really varied. Good vegetarian options-- houmous and roasted veg / egg mayonnaise/ various cheeses

Visited Racha while on a day trip to Thirsk..Enjoyed our food choices and the young server was super friendly.

This is an exceptional Thai restaurant that happens to be in Thirsk. But we have to say, the quality of the food and the level of service is special. We found this restaurant last year, and when we came back to the UK this year we had to go back. We were not disappointed. The chefs care about what they are sending out, both for quality and presentation and everything tastes like it was prepared fresh. The Chu Chee Tiger Prawns were amazing. But then again, everything was delicious and expertly prepared/presented. The Paneng chicken was rich and flavourful and the Pad Med Ma Muang had just the right amount of heat and sweet! Megan our server provided the right amount of attention and care, covering all our needs. The service was fast and attentive and she really made us feel welcome. It's evident that the chefs, staff and owners care about what they serve and how they serve it, and the result is a great dining experience that can be found on a little side alley in Thirsk. If you are thinking about trying this place, we recommend you do. We have been back several times over several years and every time its been great. From a family of well traveled foodies (from Canada)..

Lovely independent Thai resturant. There was a large choice of Thai food options, the portion sizes were generous and all food was freshly made, tasty and piping hot. Would recommend if visiting Thirsk

A welcoming greeting from Tom, our impeccable host, before being shown to a cosy, corner table. Dietary requirement options and recommendations fully explained. I highly recommend the Thai yellow curry! Others the Sam Rod! Overall, a relaxed, attentive, delicious experience. Very much looking forward to next time! 🌟

1st visit to this little gem tucked in Bakers Alley. Covid guidelines all in place. Warm friendly welcome. Staff very pleasant and informative on menu. Food was delicious. Scallop starter was my favourite with the king prawns a close 2nd. The shin of beef in the massaan curry spread across the plate with a spoon it was that tender. Lovely coconut rice for a bit of sweetness. Dessert menu looked lovely but we were both stuffed so no room. Delightful evening and look forward to sampling more.

Stumbled upon this gem. Excellent food and great service. Did not expect the quality we got and very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend.

Been a number of times and the food just gets better. The staff who are young are very helpful and knowledgeable which is great. The owner is always on hand and provides a great service. Just booked again for tomorrow

Nestled in the heart of town, this tea house is an absolute gem. We recently enjoyed a delightful breakfast there, and it's one if the best tea houses we've ever been. The food was perfectly cooked; amazing eggs, crispy bacon, and a diverse selection of coffees and teas, all at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere was charming and warm, making it the perfect spot to relax and start the day. The place was clean and tidy. Service was another highlight. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring every guest felt valued and taken care of. In summary, this tea house is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!

We found this little gem in the centre of Thirsk while waiting for the Races today. Had a breakfast and it was perfect! Good quality sausages and bacon. Eggs equally so. Lovely bread. Brilliant attentive service even though we sat outside in the sun. If you fancy a spot on brekkie. Come here. We will be back very soon. Thank you.

We came for a visit to Thirsk as it was close to the accommodation we were staying at. What a lovely little café this is. Everything is so cute, the staff are so friendly. And the food! It was all beautiful and came out so quickly. Can't recommend enough. If we return to Thirsk we'll definitely visit here again!

Visited 20 September whilst in the area. Received a warm and friendly welcome and was promptly shown to a table. There was an excellent choice of menu. I chose sausage barm. It was delicious and had very fresh roll and quality sausages. My friend had toast, butter and jam. Our drinks were perfectly made. Very reasonable priced. We would highly recomend and return. Many Thanks.

traditional full English Breakfast and Red Tea with timer . lol. Friendly staff and good food and service.

I ordered lunch from Tea Time in Thirsk, and they delivered it straight to my office—fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious! The toasted sandwich was perfectly crisp with a generous filling, and the fries were golden and crispy, just the way they should be. The quality of the food really stood out, and it was clear that great care had gone into both the preparation and presentation. The delivery was prompt, and everything arrived in perfect condition. If you're looking for a tasty, well-made lunch with great service, I highly recommend Tea Time. I'll definitely be ordering again!

Excellent service, the most delicious coffee and tasty food. Staff were obliging, friendly and super efficient. Wonderful place.

We went here for lunch one day and tea the next. Pizzas are excellent. Friendly service and our dog was welcome too

Excellent meal, authentic Italian food cooked by an Italian Definitely to be recommended Friendly Yorkshire pub , will be back

Nice atmosphere and surroundings, friendly and helpful staff, great food and prices.

Staying in Thirsk, popped in for a pint in the afternoon and decided to go for tea. It was absolutely superb. We had Lobster Ravioli and Sesame seed chicken to start, Chicken Supreme for main course with Panacotta and Apple Crumble for pudding. All were fantastic. Not just the grub but the staff were brilliant. Polite, attentive and very friendly. The service was excellent. We thoroughly recommend a visit. We will be back to try some of the other dishes next time we make it over to Yorkshire.

Visited on Tuesday for a five thirty meal with my husband and two friends for the first time Very welcoming, friendly, comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Excellent varied food menu, with unusual combinations. All delighted with our choices. Delicious and well presented food. Will look forward to revisiting and can highly recommend. The Shiraz was superb too !

A fantastic place where to have a great meal. The pub offers genuine Italian food and a selection of British cuisine. I suggest the Risotto which is fantastic. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel really welcome. Absolutely a must stop if you are in this area! The pub is also very dog friendly.

Visited on Sunday especially to watch the live band. I was not disappointed. "So What" were one of the best I've seen in a while. The sound quality was excellent, the skill of the musicans was top notch and the atmosphere was great. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun. I hope they do many more of these events as I will definitely be there. Another reason to visit to add to the amazing food. 👍🏻👍🏻
