Well, me and my wife and my dog grow up in Sowerby Dalton area and we popped into Thirsk lovely little place but then we did want something to eat. We’ve driven past the Nelson but we weren’t sure so we popped in there was space lovely lady behind the bar Seemed very very busy but found us a lovely spot came over and spoke to us. Think I went for the burger and chips no vegetables if anyone asks have you and Ella allergy? I always say vegetables Not Sure my wife had river I love you dog sat down comfortably. I think a lot of pubs will struggle as this particular small town had a Wetherspoons and we all know Wetherspoons are cheap. I do visit them quite a lot sometimes you just don’t want the atmosphere Said the local atmosphere but the staff very friendly something you don’t really get Wetherspoon.
