Great bar, not so great restaurant. Although mentioned to not have certain things within the selected dishes, it still had those and if not, it still smelled and tasted like it was in the oven at the same time with the items mentioned not to be included. For example, a burger was ordered however was mentioned to be plain and with no onion rings. The dish came with a basic dish with the burger having all of that but no onion rings yet the fries still tasted like onion rings. The table was also suspiciously sticky and the toilet was a mess.

Went back after 3/4 years of not eating here. The menu has changed and it’s definitely not as good. I had pie of the day which was a pie top and was like cardboard the pie top. Sloppy cheesey mess was in the dish rubber chicken and rubber chorizo. My wife had a pork platter which was freezing cold, she told me the only good thing on her platter were the sausages. Very disappointed in this place and won’t be going back.

Visited here for a family sunday lunch..All social distancing measures were spot on and felt completely safe dining here.Staff were fab..Food however was of a very poor standard..I got the pork and it was inedible. It was more like a plateful of fat and gristle. The roast potatoes were hard and not roasted at all..Gravy was like water with a brown food colouring put in..Cauliflower cheese was lumpy bechemel sauce with a tiny bit of unmelted cheese on top..This food was just shot together by "chefs" and I use that term loosely, that have no pride in their work..Wouldn't recommend and I wouldn't return. I dine all over the north east for Sunday lunch and this is one of the worst I've had for a long time

We went as a 4 on a Wednesday to try their parmos. They had a huge selection, we tried chicken kiev, hot shot and the normal. We also got parmo chips and salt and pepper chips (yes we were hungry..)Everything arrived together and was boiling hot! The chicken from the parmo tasted extremely fresh, I am usually really fussy with chicken but this was delicious.The garlic sauce was also amazing, nice texture and not too overpowering.All reasonably priced too. I would definitely recommend!

Went for lunch at The Chairman with my partner on a Saturday afternoon - I ordered the pulled pork and caramelised onion baguette and my partner ordered the club sandwich, both served with chips. The food was delicious with the pulled pork in particular being incredible. I must also mention the chips, which were very good!The pricing is very reasonable - along with drinks we paid less than £25. I know that this restaurant prides itself on its range of parmos and I think we will definitely be back for an evening meal to sample one!

It's been so long since we've been out for food! Could not be happier that normality is slowly but surely returning. First and foremost let me just commend this place for the safety measures they have in place, they're sensibly thought out and really well implemented.We really enjoyed our food, also having our first draught lager in almost 4 months was an absolute pleasure too! To start with we had camembert with walnuts, chilli jam (which was excellent) and pitta. For mains we tried the sticky salmon and noodles which were great, a club sandwich which was beautifully presented, cheese burger with chips and also some parmo style chips (chips, bech and cheese).Superb food, friendly staff, great location and nice atmosphere. Thanks a lot we'll be back.

Didn't eat so can't rate. Decent array of beers between draft and cans and bottles in the fridge. Not the cheapest prices but I personally don't mind paying a little more for a decent selection. Good conversation with the regular punters (about beer of course). Recommended for real ale drinkers. Back in today (7-9-24) and what an absolutely wonderful night. Great guitar player/singer and some great craic with the owner and bar staff. Brilliant time. Highly recommended.
