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.

As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
