The food is really beautiful in here and the surroundings are just lovely. I especially love the art work by local artists on the walls. The waitresses are really nice and friendly . It's a shame it never seems busy.

We hired out chilli cake for my Mams 60th and Julie and her team could not do enough for us. It was a perfect place to host the party and the buffet provided was exceptional. Thank you Julie, James and team!

We visited Chilli Cake on Sunday at short notice and were pleasantly surprised. There is a Sunday lunch menu. I had the black pudding bon bons as a starter and my wife had the soup of the day. Both were tasty and very flavoursome. For our mains I had the pork loin and my wife had the salmon. Again the meals were perfect and we really enjoyed them.The staff were friendly and approachable and we really enjoyed the experience.Will definitely be going back to try some of their other offerings.

Visited here with short notice reservation and we were accommodated with room to spare. Had a lovely meal, well presented and cooked perfectly. Ambience and background music was good. Service was a little slower than most restaurants, but it gave us time for a drink and chat, and food was worth the wait. If I could make some critique to help them improve, the staff were not as attentive as I would have liked, (I had to walk up to bar for service). I was also charged for a full Parmesan when we only had a half Parmesan, but didn’t realise until we got home. The red wine was fine ( 1st glass) but second was corked, this was changed without any fuss and they were apologetic. I was told it would not be charged...it was... however, I would visit again as the food is very good, and I hope the team can take some of my points and make the improvements. I’ll be back for my refund

When we arrived at 6pm, there were three other tables when we visited Chilli Cake this week - the busiest I've ever seen it. Still pretty dead, but as it's a lovely quirky place with a great atmosphere I was hopeful that it's finally finding its feet. Unfortunately this week's experience shows why every time we go there's not another soul in there.At our visit to Chilli Cake this week, my family and I waited an hour in a near-empty restaurant for four burgers. We weren't told there was a wait, offered more drinks, and no one came to check how our food was once the waitress had chucked it at us and run off (the truffles chips were raw in the middle, and after an hour's wait would have liked more drinks!) Both the waitress and bartender studiously avoided eye contact and then totally disappeared. After ten minutes, the customers at the one other table that were still there after we'd been waiting an hour had to go to the kitchens to ask a chef to summon someone to let them pay for their meal.I seized the opportunity to go to the bar to request more drinks and the dessert menu. The waitress was bored and cross and informed me that the kitchen was about to close - at 8pm. When we'd ordered at 6:20pm, gotten our meals at 7:25pm and then the waitress had disappeared. I've always thought it's a shame that they're so empty before, but now I understand why. The food is mostly fine, though the menu is a little boring, but the service is shocking. We've always found the atmosphere pleasant enough for an empty restaurant, but with other customers in this week the music was so loud the waitress couldn't hear our orders over it, and then stopped entirely for about fifteen minutes. I came down the stairs to an awkward silence because the music had stopped and the staff had all wandered off.We came to Chilli Cake this week because we had family visiting for the holidays, but frankly I'm left embarrassed by the terrible service, the awkward atmosphere and the rude staff... And the food was only so-so! I've recommended Chilli Cake before, and visited several times, but I certainly won't risk it again.

We needed somewhere to eat in the rain and this place had space on a Saturday night. Seemed friendly enough - perhaps a little too keen. We were put quite close to the bar where we watched a female employee boss around another employee which was a little embarrassing to watch . Our food and drinks were ordered and we watched the open plan kitchen in action. Absolutely love an open plan kitchen because it gives you a bit of entertainment plus it can give off a confidence in what they are doing. Sadly, this was SO let down by the non hygienic practices of their front of house staff. Male pot washer came out into restaurant area cough, cough coughing - into his hands but more often into the open. When he did cough into his hands, he was not seen to wash said hands. He used his pot washing tea towel to wipe around his sweaty forehead and stood chatting to the other front of house staff saying how hot he was. At one point, he started messing with his shoe - in full view of the restaurant including slapping the shoe on the sole to get it to go back onto his foot - again, no hand washing. For some reason, this guy then started delivering food to the tables without any basic hand hygiene. The female front of house member of staff was seen to be picking up some dropped food from the kitchen floor. We watched her go towards the back of the restaurant presumably to bin said items as she was gone a matter of a second or two. We expected her to go and wash her hands but no, she collected some food to deliver to the tables. This was all observed as we were eating our mains. The problem is with this sort of bad hygiene behaviours, once you have noticed it, you keep noticing it so as we sat there finishing our drinks, the coughing, touching noses, hair and faces and not washing hands became more and more obvious . This really needs to be looked at in terms of a) not passing on anything to the paying customers and b) a realisation that staff can be seen. Food was okay though both our mains came with a paper napkin directly under our food which meant when we got to it, we were in peril of actually eating the napkin. We were not sure of the purpose of the napkin but our starters and mains both had one under the food which was a bit weird. Would we go there again - No. Were we ill afterwards - luckily no but having observed such awful practices, we were relieved but surprised.

We ate here prior to going to an evening performance at the Northern College of Art. The restaurant is in the centre of town, just a couple of doors down from the college, overlooking a pedestrianised area. We booked in advance and were given a lovely window table. The decor is fabulous - colourful, quirky with an amazing spiral staircase. The staff were so friendly. We had the 2 course evening special -£20 which included a complimentary drink. I had the gin recommended by our waitress (Monkey 47 - really good). We shared an antipasto. I had the chilli - made from well cooked beef rather than minced meat - delicious!!! - accompanied by chunky chips. Unfortunately I was so full I couldn’t finish the chips. My husband had the chicken which he also enjoyed. We shared a desert. Will definitely go again.

A large group of us gathered for lunch, there seemed to be some initial confusion about whether we were being seated upstairs or downstairs, that was sorted and we we were shown to our tables, it was a little disappointing as we were separated, would’ve preferred to be on one long table together, the food however, was gorgeous, I had the Cajun salmon & couldn’t fault it, all other meals were devoured, I did have food envy looking at both the Parmo & the vegan dish, the chips both ordinary & sweet potato were amazing, I do think the soft drinks prices could be reduced £2.40 for a coke is way too much but on a par with the pubs I’m assuming, when I next visit it’ll be tap water!

When we eventually got in touch with them we asked them to confirm our booking for 7 people for 23rd December we made on September 8th, only to get a phone call four days before our visit to say their couldn’t train their chef in time but we could go on 27th or 29th December, so are their training the chef Christmas Eve Christmas Day and Boxing Day?

A more realistic price would’ve been £5, alternatively a larger potato would’ve justified the price, wouldn’t rush back.

Both mine and my boyfriends meals were gorgeous and didn’t take long to come out. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and attentive and made sure everything was okay for us! The decor is very quirky and unique, it’s a shame that Chilli Cake is situated where it is, as not many people probably know of its whereabouts with it being a little bit hidden away, but I will definitely be recommending it to everyone and going back to try some of the cocktails on the menu also!

I had the pleasure of helping to organise a friends hen celebration for a group of 27 ladies. It has to be local, it has to be special, there had to be great food and of course alcohol. Chilli Cake was the chosen venue and let me explain why. Communication from the very first message was faultless, I received a response to any questions the very same day and their suggestions of a meat and cheese platter and arrival drink sounded great. We paid a deposit and arrived on the day to the perfect venue which was clean and perfectly presented. The staff were exceptional and when the meat and cheese platters arrived I just had to take a photo! I've seen nothing like it and it exceeded my expectations by far. And it didn't only look amazing, it tasted pretty amazing too. We had balloons, we had gin, prosecco pong and most importantly we had fun. I would absolutely recommend Chilli Cake to anyone. I most certainly will be back and I'm sure many of the other ladies will be too. Thank you to all of the staff for making it happen.

Although we've had delicious cocktails at Chilli Cake many times we'd never tried the food so last night decided to take the plunge and give it a try. For folk that have read my other reviews they'll know I'm a bit 'fussy' but I have to say the beef burger I ordered exceeded all expectations. The beef was meaty, the burger looked great and tasted even better! I chose chunky chips and a fresh crisp side salad and I actually ate it all! Usually my husband has to eat half but I cleaned the plate!!! My husband ordered the chicken 'dirty bird' and thoroughly enjoyed it too, again the plate went back empty! We ended our meal by sharing a knickerbocker glory, although it satisfied the sweet tooth and we ate it all, it could have been a bit more exciting, possibly more cream, a flake or two, meringue??? The possibilities are endless!! The atmosphere in Chilli Cake is just right, chilled and ambient, friendly and always busy. What the dessert lacked was made up by the staff, friendly, helpful and just the right amount attention. We will be back to try the rest of the menu! Highly recommended but book at busy times so as not to be disappointed.

I went with friends for an evening for cocktails. Liv & G we're performing, who were fab and the atmosphere was great. A small intimate venue and was perfect for the chilled evening we wanted.

We went here for tea and cake one lunchtime and it was excellent. I can thoroughly recommend the carrot cake! The tea was lovely too! That's all we had so it would be hard to comment on anything else but it seems a really nice place with friendly staff.

The veggie linguine is incredible, the food is always super exciting and delicious, oh I also love the dirty fries! They are also really good at catering for veggies/vegans.

Saturday dinner time is usually catch up time with family we tend to go to the marina but tried chilli cake for a change. The food was excellent, staff were friendly and decor was quirky - will be going back soon

It's not often you find a place to eat that ticks all the boxes. Often the food is just ok but it was cheap or the food was good but the service let it down, not at Chilli Cake.

We had seen reviews of Chilli Cafe and decided to give it a try. Our first visit was, although we did not realise it, at closing time on a Friday afternoon. We asked for 2 Caffe Lattes and chose 2 small cakes to accompany them.

First visit to Chilli Cake in Church Square, Hartlepool. Went on a lunch time and wasn't sure what to expect. It wasn't long before all tables were full. Great place, loved the interior and the staff were very informative about the menu. All 3 of us picked something different and had no complaints. Enjoyed my choice - soup/sarnie on specials board - and the food was prepared and presented as though they cared about your custom. Will definitely return....and soon - have already picked out what I would like next!

The 1st time I visited Chilli Cake was on the recommendation of a friend, its small but has a lovely friendly vibe & tables outside if the weather is nice. The menu is quite small but there's always 4 or 5 specials to chose from aswell as the daily menu & there's a good choice for everyone. The food & cocktails are amazing & I've visited 5 or 6 times now & had something different every time & been happy with every choice. The staff are really pleasant & friendly & happy to answer any questions you ask even during busy times, I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Came here for lunch after seeing 5* reviews on Facebook. Was not disappointed, ordered x2 baked sweet potatoes and a BLT sandwich. All presented lovely and taste was superb. Lovely friendly staff. Will be returning on an evening to sample their evening menu

I didn't know what time it was when I went in and found it was 11.10 am. Breakfast finished at 11 am BUT they kindly made me a breakfast wrap.Ms. Jessica took my order and it swiftly came with a piping hot Americano. Very filling indeed. Highly recommended.

Friendly and professional, a pleasure to work with. We work closely with Chilli Cake to provide live entertainment throughout the year. Great staff team, high standard of food & drink, excellent variety. Also a favorite to visit with family and friends. I love that chilli cake gas brought an artisan flavour to Hartlepool.

A well located cafe in Church Square. We've enjoyed the light lunch menu here several times. Cakes are homemade, service is lovely and the decor is cool and comfortable

A warm atmosphere with welcoming staff. The menu is just right, you aren't bombarded with a list of confusing dishes but equally there is something for everyone. If you fancy a burger with friends or want to treat you and a significant other to to rib-eye steaks then this is the place for you. The interior is just as up to date as the menu. It is a breath of fresh air to have a competitively priced establishment as an option, either to relax through the week or get dressed up and go out on a weekend. The jewel in Church Street's crown.

Menu was very tempting but as I was catching a train for work I opted for the Small Breakfast. Service was friendly and fast. Food was well cooked and well presented. Definitely going here again. Looking forward to having a try at the Station Master breakfast when I don’t have to go to work!
