This is a great spot for a meal after work. The staff are incredible, we got seated within a few minutes and the waiting times are almost non existent. All of our food was brought out in less than 30 minutes

We visited this pub as it had a soft play on site for my daughter and niece. I must say the staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and nothing was a bother. The food was beautiful. I really could not fault this place at all. It’s a shame we don’t live locally as I’d be a regular visitor.

A fun Wacky Warehouse trip with my family. Thanks to the lovely staff Marni and Steph who helped to make us so welcome even while my child had a massive meltdown. My son has limited speech due to his autism, but they made a real effort to communicate with him. Thanks for going the extra mile!

We had a couple issues with the food order that was quickly corrected. We sat on a big table around the back to the right of the toilets and the floor was a disgrace. Food all over the place and I don't think the menus have been cleaned for months. The staff were lovely though and gave us 3 free desserts for our trouble.

Staff are always friendly. Carvery is lovely. Lager is a bit pricey though. Plenty of parking Also for young children the whacky is on the side for kids to play not sure how much it is

We've been a few times. The carvery is nice. The breakfast isn't that nice. I got a salad which consisted of chicken and bacon, lettuce, cheese and toast as croutons which I paid near £8 for!

Children visited the soft play area and wanted to use their £1 on the toy grabbing machine like they always do to find it is now completely cashless not only cashless but now also costing £3. Very disappointed children as I refuse to use card to play a game that should offer both. Will be taking them to Kosmtic Kingdom from now on which offer both cash and card. Just a reminder that cash is still a legal tender and especially in places where kids may want to insert their pound coins themselves. A few other people also didn't let their children have a go for this same reason.

Rang to try and book a table for soft play area. I was transferred to the soft play area and no one picked up so rang agine and they said they'd leave a massage for them to ring me back.they never did. rang them agine and the lady was rude and said I don't think so then transferred me agine and they then hung up on me. I tryed to speak to some in the soft play are for 3hrs and was unable to speak to anyone.

I just wanted to highly praise their wonderful staff! Lisa in particular was so friendly, kind and thoughtful and she really went above and beyond, I’m disabled and I use a walking stick and without asking she carried my plate back to my table after the carvery, whilst also getting me some cranberry sauce , at the end of my beautiful meal I then asked for a doggy bag and one of the other lovely staff got me one and Lisa seeing this brought me a brown paper bag to keep it safer. I always feel so welcomed here and of course the food is 10 out of 10 every time 😊😊😊 xx

visited here with my partner recently and we found the food to be incredibly disappointing, burger tasted like a supermarket frozen burger, chips had nothing to them and my partner had dusty dried chicken with disappointing chips, the glasses which contained our carbonated beverages had residue on them from christ knows where, i dread to think what it was considering what it looked like toilets were relatively clean, not many traces of fecal matter in the bowl and sinks were relatively clean with adequate hand washing facilities tables were slightly sticky, with what appeared to be residue of previous spillages and discharges on them chairs had some interesting stains, especially towards the front of the cushioned material carpets were as you’d expect, dirty and sticky, likely to have contained urinary substances at some point car park was adequate for the size of venue, however, there was vastly overgrown shrubbery occupying several spaces which forced me to park the rear of my car (2003 citroen C5 exclusive saloon in a rather fetching shade of metallic green) outside of the designated parking space, in thus doing so led to a larger possibility of a collision occurring between my parked vehicle and a passing motor vehicle upon entering the establishment i happened to note it seemed to be rather quiet, suspiciously so considering it’s close proximity to local amenities such as the Hartlepool Hospital i must admit, i would be rather reluctant to visit this food and beverage establishment again, i found it to be rather disappointing and it appears to require a visit from a regional manager to improve upon the quality of the food and beverages 1/10 will never visit again

Went to the wacky warehouse soft play area bit bought the child a meal pizza chips and peas for £4.99 and two coffees for us adults came to £5.30 and a fruit shoot for 60p plus the entry fee for the child to go into the soft play area so what I am saying is to take the children to a soft play area for 1-hour you need a spare £20 which might not much to some people . but that's a lot of money to me . and that's a cheap place . some places will charge the child £9 just to go into the soft play area and £1 each for the adults to sit there watching . this is before you buy food and drinks .... (the fun shack) so it's the merry-go-round for me wacky warehouse Bit and I've also had meals on the other side as well the all-day breakfast is brilliant
