Golden Calf in Hartlepool

Went here today for a group meal to celebrate an 80th Birthday. We were all delighted with a meal we couldn't fault. We had a choice of 4 roasts - beef, pork, chicken or lamb, and every one was a large portion of perfectly cooked meat (l've never had a roast better). There was Yorkshire pudding, roast potato, new potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, peas and carrots served in separate dishes, accompanied with a big gravy boat. Deserts were fresh fruit salad with ice cream and cream, if wanted, cheesecake, apple pie and custard and chocolate gateau, followed by teas and coffees. We have been here before and all the meals have been equally as good. A lovely occasion.

Went for our Sunday lunch today at the Moorcock Peterlee far to full so decided to go elsewhere. Were driving towards home and decided to call in Golden Calf which is 3 miles from our house and we never use it. Really surprised!! as we entered only 8 people in. There was 3 of us we were shown to a table and o ordered Sunday lunch 2 had beef I had lamb The landlady was out with our meals within 5 mins massive amounts of Beef and Loads of lamb, fresh veg all in separate dishes were Carrots, Peas, Roast parsnips, Cauliflower Mash and Cabbage What a feast! All for £5.50 there was an option for a Large at £8.50 but I could hardly manage my medium ( and I'm a big eater) Would definatley go again and recommend to anyone great food PS our halves of coke were only 80p each
