The Head of Steam Norton in Stockton-on-Tees

Standard pub, seems ok to chill out or wait for people in

Always vibrant, good selection of drinks.

Brilliant selection of beers. Great service by Ryan and James

A pleasant venue for meeting with friends with a variety of beverages to cover any eventuallity. Staff pleasant and helpful

My local. Love it, good recommendations on the new stuff and they learn your tastes. Well worth it

Best choice of beer in Norton! Ryan was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great service

Always amazingly friendly and helpful, brilliant atmosphere and superb staff! 5 star!

Great pub, great selection of beers.

Very nice vibes, good selection of drinks. Amazing service from Charlotte. 10/10 would come again

Great service, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Dog friendly which is great! The quiz’s are fun to do as well 10/10!

Brilliant place, brilliant pool table, brilliant staff n brilliant banter. Welcome me with open arms and im scottish so that says something. Highly recommend!

I don't get in as often as much as I would like to. Saying that, it is a warm, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Good choice of ales. Comfy chairs.

Enjoyed a good night out this was just 1 stop on many pub crawls last night great night with my best friends

Nice friendly pub, lots of drink options,

Lovely pub with allot of kitch on the walls. They serve independant and usual brand beers, decent prices. Dog friendly and the staff are awesome. Next time I'm in Norton, i'll pop back here. Never ate here so I left it blank.

Great bar. Came with a group of mates. Bar staff were great! Honorable mention to Ryan behind the bar for the 10/10 pints!

good drinks, great service. Had a great time with my mates, would recommend to others who are with a group. Great night, will come again!!

great bar. came with my mates and was a mint night. hats off to the bar staff and love the Erdinger that have in draft. will be coming again!

Held my daughters baby shower there yesterday. The staff are amazing , friendly and everything was perfect. Well worth a visit

Great stop for a few drinks with friends. Bought the tabletop tasting and Hitch was fantastic! Would definitely recommend

A nice pub to have a quiet beer and just relax. Well recommend.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff who are always helpful and friendly. Great selection of drinks too!

Amazing place, great beer and friendly staff. Ryan and James are a great combination for beers and cocktail recommendations! Will definitely be back soon!

Fantastic pub with great atmosphere! Lots of different choices with a good variation between Cameron’s and non-Cameron’s products on draft. Staff are very knowledgable and friendly when asked about drinks, and are more than happy to offer their own recommendations! Good choice of spirits as well for non-beer drinkers, especially the gin! Also love all the different cans they have on offer. Prices are very similar to the rest of Norton, but by far has the best vibe! Being dog friendly is brilliant, and their special dog events have a great atmosphere, including treats for both dogs and humans! Overall fantastic pub, would recommend 100% if you’re in Norton village!

Amazing pub and atmosphere. Great selection of beers and lagers

Great night out and a great place to quiz. Bring or order your own food from local eateries.

Love this pub! So dog friendly and class beers 😍

Our local pub, massive selection of beers and cocktails! We ❤️ the Thursday quiz too

Love this pub a little bit more expensive but you get what you pay for right? ....

After arriving in Norton too early for the restaurant we decided to have a little explore. The first pub we found made us feel like we weren’t welcome and the atmosphere was stale. I told my friends to try the Head of Steam as I’d been to one in Newcastle. This pub is amazing straight away we felt at home, they allow dogs and have a wonderful atmosphere! We just learned about Thursday Quiz nights and have already planned for a future night out. Can your local be a pub a town away from home? 100% recommend :) (They don’t serve food but allow you to bring food in) Great heated yard for those of you who smoke.

Great atmosphere and range of drinks. The staff are very friendly and give advice on drinks. Having the free pool monday event has really helped in keeping in touch with people.

Myself and my 3 friends went for their weekly pub quiz and it was an amazing night out. They have a lovely selection of drinks and although they didn’t serve food, they do allow you to bring your own in. Quiz was amazing and the pub had a great atmosphere.

Went to the Taylor Swift quiz night! It was nothing but “enchanted.” Lots of fun games and chances to win free drinks. The staff are all absolutely amazing and so lovely! I got the chance to sing one of her songs and everyone loved it. What a great night for everyone involved! Well done. See you at the next one ❤️

My favourite watering hole in Norton. The staff are great, the locals are canny, and they have a good choice of beer.

Staff are amazing, drinks are very well poured and the atmosphere is generally very good! Favorite pub in Norton by far x

Hutchy was amazing offered 5 star service all the way! Thank you again! X

Absolutely impressive and impeccable service. 10/10. Great drinks, great service even offered a phone charger when noticed battery was low. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone, backbone of Norton. Thanks Hutchy

amazing atmosphere & friendly staff!

Amazing atmosphere and good music. They have a great range of beers on draught and in cans. You can come here with family and friends.

amazing experience, Harvey is the best server wouldn’t have it any other way make you feel so welcome. I love the pickles from here as well they are the best. My favourite pub ever i go here every weekend vibes 10 10 🙏cxxx

Came for a beer tasting session and WOW!! The staff are so knowledgeable about the beers they stock and the selection is massive and such a range from Belgians to stouts all delicious!!

Fantastic bar!! Unbelievable services and drink selection, bar staff really friendly and know their beers, great music!!

Tasty beer, friendly staff and dogs are welcome. A great stop off on a Norton pub crawl. Thanks for having us!

Nice place e en if a pint is £6.20 their own lager is cheaper

Great atmosphere, always love the music! Staff are super friendly and hardworking, especially the ladies. My favourite Norton drinking establishment for sure.

Such a warm friendly place! Staff are amazing and knowledge of the ales on tap are brilliant. Highly recommend a visit. Dog friendly too!

Enjoyed a few nights out in Norton in this pub. The staff were very helpful in giving beer recommendations. Will definitely be visiting more in 2024. Thanks to all staff, you were very busy at the time of my visit but still very attentive.

Went in here for our regular Christmas Night Out , even though there were bar staff serving , the men working extremely hard , however the young female staff were right in front of us they could see us but they just kept on chatting to each other for about 5 minutes , no matter what we did to attract their attention was ignored , finally when we did get served it was £6.20 a pint of cider and £5.90 a Guiness - its actually cheaper to drink in London - WHAT AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF , and then letting people around the bar Vape - i thought this was banned in pubs - very off putting , based on these examples of terrible service and rip off prices WE WILL NEVER EVER COME TO THIS BAR AGAIN , but i like to be fair in my reviews and say the men who were working behind the bar were working really hard - probably having to make up for the inefficiency of the young lasses - heaven knows what they are taught at school but obviously not fit for the real world.

Really helpful and knowledgeable bar staff about the range of great beers available, will definitely be back soon!

Great atmosphere, well decorated with good music.

James Rho Ryan Steven Charlotte Amazing service. Really chatty, lovely, 10/10 banter 😀

Great atmosphere! Has a pool table

A lovely dog friendly bar right in the heart of popular norton village. Friendly staff, chilled tunes and i even hear its free pool on s monday ! Whats not to love ? Thanks x

Belter of a pub, great beer selection and fantastic staff! Shout out to Hitchy and G-Wagon on the bar

Its the best pub in norton staff are fantastic super friendly great atmosphere and great music! Pool table is a bonus! Always a good mixture of people in there two!

Best place in norton for nightlife or a chilled afternoon drink! And relaxed atmosphere! Best staff, music, pool table that’s free on Mondays! And great value for money!!

Great place in the heart of Norton. Great atmosphere, people and bar staff.

This place is great! Mint service and better music! Would come every week if I could with my friends.

Came for drinks with my friends and couple family members and we had the best time considering it was a Tuesday best service and staff are so friendly! Will be back could even class this place as my new local!

Great pub with a great atmosphere. Staff are great and drinks selection is the best in the village. Pricey pints are the only draw back!

Best vibes in Norton. Always a good night out, really friendly staff and the best selection of drinks! Love the pool table!!

Came in for a drink with the girls last weekend; amazing service! Young blonde lady behind the bar so lovely. Refreshing to see such a friendly face whilst serving.

This place is always made to feel like a home away from, the staff are sound as and the beers nice

Great pub with good drinks and a fab service. I go here everything I'm in Norton.

Buzzing place on frid n sat that plays alternative music

Staple pub in Norton High Street, lovely staff, lovely drinks and lovely vibes! (Class music in here too)

Absolute bonus that they’re dog friendly Best pub in norton, and best head of steam I’ve been to in the country, efficient and friendly staff, great atmosphere and great selection of drinks.

Great selection of drinks and a fun quiz

I went to the quiz here a few weeks ago and we had a great night. The host is brilliant and the in between games of play your cards right and spin the wheel are fun. It was helped by us coming 3rd which we got a prize for! Will definitely be back

Ryan was a brilliant host and helped me find what drink my partner wanted and give me a excellent service with the tasting tray

Easy the best bar In village, the staff are friendly great selection of beer and spirits! The music is great! Whoever is in charge of the music has great taste! 10/10

Class pub. Moved to teesside a couple of year back and the head of steam is my absolute favourite, don’t want to go anywhere else (I’ve also tried a good handful of bars, clubs, and pubs in the area now). Atmosphere is class with the music and interior design, staff also extremely friendly. Quiz nights are up there, quite unique in my opinion with their mini games in between rounds. Good range of beers also.

My favourite pub in Teesside, one of the reasons I decided to move to Norton! Super friendly staff, good drink selection/prices and the quiz nights are the best I’ve ever been to! Wouldn’t go anywhere else now, the best local!

Nice alternative bar good crowd and nice atmosphere for a few beers, they don't sell the usual largers people would expect to see but it's an OK stop for 1 or 2 beers

Great service and great drinks and atmosphere

Good pub with a good fridge and knowledgeable staff, but like the rest of the Head Of Steam chain Cameron's haven't done it any favours. No longer does food and most of the draft choices are Cameron's offerings. Was infinitely better when they still did food, prices are over the top considering the range compared to other bars in the area. Still a good pub, but could be so much better. Quiz night rules though and you won't get a better selection anywhere else in Norton

We’ve had the best times in here, we love Karen’s fun and quizzes and have always felt at home

Great mojito the best we have had in Stockton and the whole country x

A really nice bar! i have been out a few times on a night out and just randomly durning the day! Always felt safe and the prices are reasonable, great selection of drinks and the bar staff are super nice and the music is good, a great mixture

My favourite go to pub, it's cosy and quiet during the week and has plenty on like pub quizzes if you want something a bit more lively towards the weekends.

Came from Hartlepool. Cracking night. Chris and Laura were lovely. Great selection of beers. Be back soon. X

Good selection of drinks and always good service..

Lively on a Saturday afternoon. Great!

Nice kind of quirky Head of Steam. Very friendly staff.

Amazing bar. Always in most weekends and quiz nights. Great offers on drinks and the staff can’t do enough for you alway friendly and welcoming and have a great laugh with everyone! Very much recommend to anyone!!!

Awful staff. Awful place. There is a sign on the wall saying do not leave drinks unattended as they will be removed. Twice I had my pint lifted and at £5 per pint this is not on! I needed the toilet and it was left for two minutes tops. Obviously how they make their money. Staff were not interested when I raised the complaint.

Lovely pub with even lovelier staff, best pub in norton. Great deals even better tunes.

Fantastic pub, excellent staff, good music.

Decent selection of beers in cans and bottles and a nice vibe. First time visiting but hopefully won't be the last. Only dropped one star as there were no new beers on tap for me to try, hopefully I will be more lucky next time.

Great pub! I've been coming here since it opened and there's always a consistently good selection of beer on draught, great atmosphere and music. The staff are always friendly and able to offer recommendations/ tasters. I've recommended this pub many times and I'm sure I'll be coming in for lots more years to come. Thanks HoS!

Always a pleasant venue with great bar staff who are so friendly and welcoming, such a good selection of beers, bottles and cans which is great especially for Craft Beer People Like Myself and my group of friends who attended last night, it was that good we returned for a second time after visiting other venues

Excellent place to come for a drink after work. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Plenty of offers on throughout the week and something for everyone to drink.

Excellent value for money, bar team are very helpful and know what they’re talking about and helped me find the perfect non alcoholic cocktail that would be nice for me and it was delicious! Will be returning soon

Excellent quality of Beers and atmosphere buzzing

Qaint little pub in norton with a cosy warm feel. Lots of choice for drinks, and it's dog friendly.

I came in for a drink with my husband recently, very nice daytime atmosphere and very reasonable prices on drink. The young boy behind the bar with a nose ring was very kind and knowledgeable on drinks, we will be coming again soon

Everything's good value in the north east hitherto this pub in Norton - proclaimed my good friend who ordered a '250 ml' mulled wine on the evening of the Christmas quiz that was less than half filled. To our entertainment, the reaction to our mild complaint at the bar was "this is a 250 measure and my ladle can't reach the bottom of the barrel" 🙃. Nevertheless we enjoyed the positive festive atmosphere

Class atmosphere, class people, class pub. Say no more.

Great beer, Great laughs, Barstaff are class. Good craic all round, bring on new year!

The best in Norton by FAR! Quiz night is insane, one of the best night I've ever had!
