Kimble's in Stockton-on-Tees

If you're after a cheap drink, this is the place, pretty much half the price of other local pubs.

Nice coffee, enjoy coming to costa

Overpriced and no improvement since the much lauded "refurb". Would not recommend. Used to have at least one real ale and now none.

Went in for lunch with friends and will never return. When the food was brought to the table the food was literally just dumped. They got my order wrong and when I queried it I was accused of being wrong. No apology given. Said they would rectify my order by sending the correct side out but never did so I ate the part of the meal that was correct as it was going cold. Never had such terrible customer service. On a positive note the part of the meal I ate was nice. However after I emailed a complaint, the manager Andy was fantastic. Very apologetic and clearly cares about customer experience.

I normally nip in here for a few when I go to the shops or am passing by and fancy a sneaky beer or 2. Decent bar, bit expensive. I was excited when I saw they had Guinness on, as it's 5 min from where I am - however, it was a bang average pint, it even tasted a bit sharp and bitter, not sure what that was from, but at £6,20 a pint, that is robbery. Guinness is my "go to" , and I'd consider paying that, if I were getting the same quality as in Ireland, but it was miles away. There were also a couple of folk the other night on the sniff and created a bit if an awkward atmosphere, not sure I'll rush back now. I will say all the staff are very good though.
