Mrs C's Patisserie in Hartlepool

The salad was rank with a strange taste that gave me a stomach ache and nausea after a couple of mouthfuls so went in the bin. The breakfast rolls were nice though. Gave 1 star due to the salad.

We went here to have an evening meal with friends. We ordered two hot shot parmos, a half lobster and chicken in peppercorn sauce, it doesn’t come with veg so we ordered a side order of veg which was very small portion and cost £6.95 The half lobster was the size of a Langoustine. The Parmo’s were supposed to be the same but looked completely different, one was lacking in white sauce and hardly any heat to it. The puddings were 3 x sticky toffee puddings, which appeared to be Ginger sponge with a toffee sauce on top. Finely we ordered two cokes and a coffee. The cokes were obviously from a dispenser as the CO2 cylinder must have ran out, we complained that they had no fix in the drinks, so we ordered bottles instead. My coffee arrived with a small jug of milk, I put some milk in before my wife commented on the really dirty cup, they took it away and replaced it with another one, which was obviously the same coffee as it was already white and in a chipped cup. All that cost £133.00 The restaurant was very busy but I can’t imagine why! Won’t be back

Went because of a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. The pub is very clean and fresh was going to just have drinks but stayed for food. Ann-Marie, Gareth and Carl are very friendly and helpful.

I paid 9 pound for 2 pieces of cake. One was a cherry Bakewell and the other a cornflake cake. The cherry Bakewell was was awful. There was nothing cherry about it. It was extremely soggy, there was zero favour and it seemed that it had been sat in the dish for 2 days. I had a tiny bite and we both felt sickly after it. I wanted to return it but my wife is too polite. I can't comment on the cornflake cake as my son ate that and he will eat anything. His reply on how it tastes was "it's ok". I'm not sure where they get the cake from but maybe it's time to find a new supplier. I never go in there and I noticed it was so expensive I couldn't believe it. How they turn a profit is beyond me. The place is dreary and depressing, a minimum 5 pound spend if you want a drink. You can't even use the facilities unless you buy something as the door is coded. I've noticed other reviews that the food is dreadful but I can only comment on the cake. Anyway, don't buy the tiny slice of cherry Bakewell for £3.90, save your money go somewhere that's lovely cakes and have it with a lovely cuppa at home where you won't feel like you've been robbed.

Went for Sunday's dinner, really nice.
