The worst food we have ever had served to us truly awful very cheap quality. We ordered a Burger and a Steak the burger was full of hard bits and didn't smell very good. The Steak was full of fat and clearly of cheap quality. We didn't eat them we couldn't I now know why the owner eats in Macdonald's every day. The pub needs a deep clean and a chef who knows how to cook . Save your money and eat somewhere else.

Ordered delivery through just eat. Don't ignore the bad reviews. First time ordering from here and will not be doing so again and advise others not to either. If you like to wait hours for cold poor food and service then this is the place for you. Our food took 3 hours from ordering to delivery. Rang up to see where our food was and we were told our order was ready and they were waiting for a driver, half an hour later still no food so rang back, we were told the food had just come out of the kitchen and the driver was just on his way out of the door with it. Eventually when the food did arrive. 1 meal was missing, 1 meal had the wrong meat and 2 sides were missing. Following this 2 of the dinners had string off the meat in them. Rang to complain , the staff didn't sound to bothered (probably use to it) was told to go through just eat for a refund. The complaints and bad reviews are obviously not affecting them as it seems to be an ongoing issue and as long as people keep ordering nothing is going to change.

We came here for Sunday lunch after seeing all the amazing pictures of the Sunday dinner’s on Facebook I was absolutely gutted to say the least it was not good the gravy was black thick and so salty. My son got a Yorkshire pudding wrap which again was really not good the chicken inside was rock hard and again the gravy was so thick. They was one lovely lad serving who was just so busy and a lady at the back taking food orders at a table with a full office set up it was very strange.

Ordered a Sunday dinner for a family of 4 at about 12pm. Heard nothing for 3 hours when they put a Facebook post on saying they were having ‘driver troubles’ and offered 10% off next order (no good to hungry kids). Called the restaurant several times and got a very smarmy manager who only said ‘well it’s on its way’. In the end it didn’t come til 17.50 and had given the kids something else by then. Food was rubbish, freezing cold and mush obviously because it had been left so long. Wouldn’t of minded the wait if they let us know, things happen with delivery drivers at the end of the day. It’s one of those things. But to take money from customers and not deliver for 6 hours is a disgrace The owner thought it good business to post on Facebook his explanation of the delivery situation followed by a post of him dressed in a KFC outfit with the quote ‘all decked out from KFC’. Totally tone death to the situation his restaurant is having. Maybe best for the owner to stick to his food eating videos and leave the restaurant running to someone else more capable. Do not go here!!

Upon entering the restaurant on a Saturday night it was empty all the time we were there, there was 3 covers to complete. we were placed on a table which had a broken chair, the barman/server tried taking our order almost immediately after sitting. I was immediately worried about the food when one of the members of staff sent their food back. We Ordered a range of meals which after stating certain things should not be included on the food had been included on the food, so this was not a great start! To follow on from that the food was sent out with a rather lengthy gap between each person receiving the food. The waitress who brought our food walked to the kitchen to collect the food with one of her hands down the back of her pants (not hygienic at all). Also rather than the waitress coming over and making sure everything was okay and that we were happy they were just sat at one of the tables. Eventually when one of them did come over and we had stated that the food wasn’t good the Manger or owner who were present didn’t come over. But proceeded to get the barman/server running back and forth to deal with the issue which we were told different information multiple times. To be honest I don’t think I’d be returning and that the owner needs to start focussing on their own restaurant rather than others. Chiefs where coming in and out of the restaurant with long hair and beards didn’t have hair nets on. To top it off some of the staff were congregated talking badly about the owner and the way he goes about running the restaurant

The waiting staff had no idea who ordered what food and came out with dishes asking who's ordered them. Waiting staff were just standing around doing nothing and the chef came out and practically shouted at the staff for some help. Very disorganised establishment. Oh and one last thing, I usually walk past here early in the morning to get to work and they have bags of chips etc just lying on the step.

Straight to the point, by far the worst pub I’ve been in around Teeside. It’s been done up witch it fine but you don’t go to the pub to admire the paint work. My self and girlfriend and my 1 year old daughter went for Sunday lunch, we got there around dinner time and place was empty (should of been my first clue to it not been good). The young girl behind the bar was nice enough and friendly but not dressed appropriately for a family pub, more like she had just finished a shift at the local men’s club. We ordered two dinners (got a free bowl of veg for my daughter) and when the dinner came it looked amazing to be fair. However when we stated to tuck into the meal we soon discovered it was far from amazing. The mash was pretty much a lump of rock hard potato I had to to re mash my self with my fork. The meat had only just been shown the oven the taste of it as it was cold in the middle and far from cooked right. Yorkshire puddings where Soggy, we paid an EXTRA £2.50 EACH!! For extra roast potatoes and when they came you get 1.... yes 1 extra potato for your £2.50!!!!. The roasties had been cooked a week ago by the taste of them then shoved in the microwave to warm up.

me and my boyfriend visited. Found it extremely hard to find as we are not from Stockton so had to park ages away but at least we know for next time. Ordered a chicken Yorkshire wrap and a garlic parmo, extra ribs, extra onion rings and peppercorn sauce. Was a bit disappointing that our extras came out 15 minutes before our meal so they were stone cold when we wanted them. Meals took just over an hour to arrive but the taste was so worth it. Would come back but would try and pre order as waiting an hour for food when there was only 3 tables in was far too long.

Tables weren’t cleaned properly which set the scene for the rest of the meal. We ordered 4 diet cokes and they were poured into fosters glasses which was kind of ironic as the cokes also tasted of urine. We also ordered food and decided to go with the “famous” parmos, the price of food and drinks is criminal and I was considering filing a police report for theft. The chicken for the parmos must’ve been hand reared from the egg as these took ages to arrive. My friend finally received his and it took another 5 minutes for someone else’s to arrive then a further 5 minutes for another one and another 5 minutes after that for another one, by the time the last one arrived the first person was finished. We ordered garlic with our parmos and that arrived when people had either finished or were half way through, maybe the garlic was some sort of desert or pallet cleaner for the monstrosity we’d been served? Anyways back to the mains, they come looking like they’ve been tossed together by stevie wonder. The parmos came with a side salad and every one had different stuff in it, some kind of pick ‘n mix salad. The first meal came with chips that looked like they’d been cooked with a blow torch. The kebab meat that the meals come with is at least 5 days old, unless it’s some kind of maturing program like what you do with fancy steaks? My order was wrong but by this time I’d given up hope and just wanted to get out so decided to eat it, turns out they don’t wear hairnets and it looked like my food had been platted at the local Turkish barbers, my friend also had a hair growing out of his chip but this could’ve just been because they were weeks old. So my food was left barely touched which was probably a good thing as the nhs are already stretched and having to get my stomach pumped of this mess wouldn’t help save it. So we finish up and I’m looking forward to leaving only to be greeted again by the wonderful sights of Stockton, it has to be seen to be believed.

So straight away upon entering we thought something was a miss. The manager barged past us and all the othet staff just ignored us until i asked where we could sit. A lady opposite us had complained about her fry up, something to do with sausages, however the waitress offered to change it, she later came back and again something was wrong, in the end, the woman left the restaurant. The mrs had a coke which she took back as it tasted like fizzy water. They changed it, same outcome, and again. Until we went with cans of coke. As we were sat, another 3 people complained about the coke. So, food ordered, there was only 2 other couples in at this point. I had a parmo, mrs had lasagne. Took almost an hour to arrive. Waitress took them to wrong table first attempt. They were both overcooked, the lasagne was vile and im not a fussy eater. The mrs left it and ate chips and garlic bread. Was just like grease on a plate. The parmo, edible at best. Dry, chicken had lots of gristle' in places, far from what I expected in the heart of boro.

The place was recommended by a friend so we decided to give it a shot. The menu looked absolutely gorgeous with lots of choice but unfortunately when our food arrived it was either cold, burnt or tasteless. The food was presented well but more attention needs to be paid to the flavour and temperature of the food. Also the service wasn't that great considering we were the only table in the building and the tables were very sticky were they had obviously not been cleaned. We will not be returning unfortunately.

Just got home after our meal in the george, we had a parmo each which was decent but not worth an hour and 20 minute wait. The staff looked like they hated being there! The place is ran terribly. Customers where walking around trying to find cutlery and condiments, cutlery was dirty in the tray and not enough bottles of sauce for each table. Staff were stood talking at the bar while people where clearly sat annoyed waiting for food rather than helping out in the kitchen to get food out! At one point a chef came out of the kitchen eating a triffle whilst customers were still waiting....pretty shocking really. The place has great potential but needs better management and possibly more chefs to get food out in good time. The food was quite nice but i wont be going back....shame really

Visited a couple of times, last time I visited was before the refurb, food has always been spot on. However there were too many members of staff sitting around the bar, we were approached on 4 separate times by different members of staff asking us if the food was okay. Maybe the person in charge should order them to do some tidying up etc instead of sitting and making it awkward for us as we were the only people in there.

Went in wi th my sister, who loves her meat. I do not, we both took one look at the menu and walked back out. Nasty owner - don't bother going if you are vegan. As he hates them.

Rude staff,insulting a person's diet type on the menu is disgusting behaviour, not catered for vegan customers at all and a low hygiene rating... Do not go

parmo heaven. first class place to get a parmo in the north east of England. we were very happy with the high quality of the food .the chips were fantastic , not oven chips , or French fries , but proper chips , cooked perfect. the portions were large , and I was dying to try a battered , deep fried mars bar , but I was too full. good quality food.

Our food came out with 15 mins between my meal and then my partners I was half way through mine before he got his the food was basic and luke warm even though they big it up on Facebook it's disgusting worst pub I've ever been to!

Ordered 2 large Sunday dinners and spent £19.80, they come they were cold the meat was horrible one of the dinners didn't have any mash on and very little gravy and the roast potatoes were not soft, terrible value. That's the first time I've ordered from them and it will be the last. It was a huge disappointment for Mother's Day.

The food would have been realllllly good if it was hot. We waited a good half an hour and when it came out the chips were hot but parmo was cold all the way through.

Went here with a few friends for my birthday and I was deflated from the moment I walked in. Not what you expect when you see all the posts and all the hype, just a dirty pub. Went to the bar and they didn't have most drinks on, no ice and no lemon/lime slices. We reserved a table and expected a table to be there for us but it wasn't. Had to sit on a table that wasn't clean and very cramped. What's the point in reserving a table if you do nothing with it ? Anyway my kebab sandwich came and it looked great. Chips were cold to start but I'm not one to make a fuss, the kebab in-between the Parmos was microwaved frozen crap. I was gutted. The parmos were actually quite nice but when I got to the bottom I found two bones in it, which is unusual considering it's supposed to be breast. The garlic sauce was just crap from the bottle, i can't enjoy a parmo without sauce and it was woeful. They couldn't offer me a refund but offered a free drink & desert, so I got a peroni to go. It needs gutting out and re doing. Dirty carpets, food & napkins on the floor. I don't think I'll be returning, but thanks for ruining my birthday !

Of course if I'd found this out before visiting then I wouldn't have bothered. The food itself is okay - if a little expensive. The main issue with this place is the atmosphere. It's dark and in a pretty poor state of decor - it's desperately in need of a lick of paint.

Food was lovely! I couldn't eat all mine - I don't even think I managed half but this was only because the portions were so large! You definitely won't leave feeling hungry. I'd love to give the place 5 stars but we had an hours wait even though the place wasn't busy at all. I would probably visit again though.

Called into the George whilst in Stockton shopping for our Sunday lunch and was very impressed by both the food and service. The beef and veg were all fresh and very tasty with a lovely thick gravy.Young lad who served behind the bar very polite and helpful,would definitely recommend and will be back

Visited for the first time for lunch with a friend, the decor is a little dated and could do with a make over. Had to wait quite a while for our meals even though it was not busy. The portions were very generous although a little pricey, but the food arrived hot and we both enjoyed our meals. The pumps for the soft drinks was out of order and apparently had been for 3 weeks, overall could do with a bit of TLC. Staff helpful and friendly.

Menu is interesting just a shame it can't live up to it. Prices are expensive for the location and quality. A kids meal and a burger took 45 minutes with no apology. It wasn't even particularly busy. Watched other people's meals come before ours even though we ordered before them. Didn't taste worth the money.

Well we're do I start the food it's ok nothing to shout about. Ok customer service. The real let down is how long u have to wait for ur food and then when it came it was burnt. My wife's meal tasted like the food was off and didn't taste right. Last time I came here for a meal.

I went to The George to treat my family for a nice meal. I must say We all enjoyed the food. Also It was definitely a bargain as I was quite lucky to take advantaged of the Pound Parmo Monday lol and the two for ten meals :). Anyway The only downside was the waiting time but it could be the fact it was very busy. Overall I would visit again and highly recommend.:D

So my friend and I with our little boys came here for food. At first I thought the bar was a little worse for wear but I'd heard the food was nice.. we both opted for parmo when we got to the bar we noticed a leaflet for 5/6 different things for £1 each so instead of paying £7 for a half portion of parmo we got the mini parmo and chips for £2 wow it came and it was quite big and very tasty very impressed. downside was the bathroom was awefull, smelly one broken toilet with the door open and the other was a little worse for wear. Overall great value for the food but bathroom could be better

My cousin booked a table for four people. Her family treat for us. I ordered half a Guiness for my mother. I was told ' We can't serve half a Guiness '. I wanted a Real Ale but there were none so I had John Smiths - ok but not good. Then, my cousin was given a small bottle of white wine ....the only wine left. With the lack of natural light - feels like a corridor - and uncomfortable table - ......we went elsewhere.

Took my wife and daughter here for lunch today. We all came away very full and very impressed with the quality of the fare. The parmos were to die for, lovely home made chips and my daughter was blown away by the Yorkshire pudding kebab wrap. Couldn't do this too often but a real treat.

This had to be one if the best parmo's I have had I had an original and my son had meat monster, there must be 1/2 a page of parmo's so go along and try something different. If you like a challenge they have plenty to choose from

Came across this Offer one Monday lunchtime. Too good to be true I though but not so. £1 for Parmo, £1 for chips and £1 for salad. Two meals and two diet cokes for around £8. Parmo is a small one but perfect lunchtime size, chips are homemade and salad was lovely. Yeah the decor in the pub could definitely be improved but food can't be criticised at all. Saying that I have only had the Parmo so can't really comment on the rest of the menu.
