Known for serving high quality British gastropub grub to the people of Harrogate, Three's A Crowd have expanded and opened up a new site on North Street, Leeds.
Taking over the spot of beloved Leeds institution The Reliance which sadly closed it’s doors back in January, Three’s A Crowd is a modern gastropub serving British food using only the best local ingredients.
The popular venue, which first opened in Harrogate’s West Park in 2019, is known for its locally sourced food, premium wine list and friendly atmosphere.
We headed over to sample their new lunch menu, and it certainly did not disappoint.

From the offset the space is light, airy and welcoming - the owners have kept some of the building's original features which has kept it's charm whilst also adding their own personal touches.
The lunch menu consists of bigger plates, sides as well as smaller plates which are perfect for sharing amongst friends over a crisp glass of wine.
A standout dish was the steaming hot bowl of mussels served in a creamy leek and garlic sauce, served with the welcome addition of some homemade focaccia bread to mop up the juices.

The rich Oxtail Ragu was packed with succulent meat that simply melted in the mouth, with pappardelle pasta that was perfectly cooked and showered with lashings of salty parmesan.
From the small plates we went for the Korean Fried Chicken coated in Gochujang, spring onion and sesame. This was absolutely delicious, the breading was crispy and crunchy whilst the chicken was still moist and juicy on the inside.
The Homemade Focaccia was warm, fluffy and incredibly moreish when dunked into the winning combination of olive oil and balsamic.
A special mention must go to the Lyonnaise Potatoes which were crispy on the outside, creamy in the middle and topped generously with soft buttery caramelised onions. The perfect addition to any meal and in our opinion a must order.

From the dessert menu we were feeling nostalgic and opted for the Marmalade Sponge, drenched in hot vanilla custard this felt like a warm hug in a bowl and topped our meal off perfectly.
Overall, Three's A Crowd is a brilliant addition to the Northern part of Leeds city centre and we can't wait to sample their other food and drink offerings.

Leeds is set to become a giant board game this summer as Trivial Pursuit arrives in the city centre to celebrate a landmark moment in its history.
The famous board game is being brought to life as LeedsBID transforms the city centre into a live version of Hasbro’s iconic Trivial Pursuit board game, marking 400 years since Leeds was granted its royal charter.
And a few famous Leeds faces are helping to make it happen.
Running from Saturday 25 July to Sunday 30 August 2026 and is completely free, players embark on journey across the city centre, travelling from category to category and testing their knowledge of Leeds. Correct answers earn wedges, and once all six are collected, players face a final question to complete the game.
Key locations represent the six traditional Trivial Pursuit categories: Entertainment, Geography, Sports and Leisure, Science and Nature, History, and Art and Literature.
Central to the game will be the stories and achievements that have shaped Leeds over four centuries, from the origins of Marks & Spencer to a connection with the first British internet provider.
An array of well-known personalities are involved, appearing digitally to look back and look ahead at the city’s notable events.
Leeds-born presenter and podcaster Alex Zane, historian Ruth Goodman, and commentator Daniel Norcross each take on Entertainment, History, and Sports & Leisure, telling the stories behind the people, places, and moments that define Leeds.
Angela Griffin says: “LeedsBID have come up with a fun and engaging way to introduce visitors to the Leeds story through Trivial Pursuit, and I was happy to play a part in some of this trivia this summer, which is a real honour as a Loiner.”
Sara Merritt, Principal Keeper, Leeds City Museum and Leeds Discovery Centre. “Leeds City Museum is excited to host TRIVIAL PURSUIT as part of Leeds400 this summer, offering visitors a fun and interactive way to celebrate knowledge, curiosity, and everything that makes Leeds unique.”
Restoration of beloved Leeds mural preserves a piece of the city’s cultural heritage
Clementine Hall
A striking Leeds mural has been carefully restored back to its former glory.
The 'Cornucopia' is one of Leeds' most beautiful murals, situated across from the iconic Corn Exchange in it stands at an impressive 32 feet high depicting the goddess Cornucopia – a symbol of abundance and prosperity.
It was originally commissioned by the late Graeme Willson and has been a popular landmark in Leeds city centre since its unveiling in 1990, when it also won the Leeds Award for Architecture and the Environment.
And now, the mural has been fully restored bringing it back to its former glory.

The restoration has been supported by Leeds City Council and funded by Yorkshire-based property developer and investor Rushbond, which owns the neighbouring Grade I listed Leeds Corn Exchange, in partnership with Leeds Civic Trust.
The specialist restoration work has been undertaken by local artist Ralph Replete, who carefully hand-cleaned the mural. The artwork was then sympathetically retouched using the same specialist mineral paint originally used by Graeme Willson.
Jonathan Maud, Chairman of Rushbond, said: "‘Cornucopia’ was a wonderful gift to the city from the former owners of Leeds Corn Exchange, and it deserved to be given a respectful refresh. Thanks to our incredible partners, including the team at Blue Rinse who were most accommodating in giving us access to the mural, and the meticulous work of Ralph Replete, everyone can once again enjoy this beautiful work of public art.
"‘Cornucopia’ is an important part of Leeds’s cultural heritage and I’m delighted that the many thousands of people who come to Leeds Corn Exchange and Kirkgate every year will once again be greeted by a cultural landmark that reflects both the area’s independent, commercial, creative identity and the true spirit of Leeds.”
