the hungry horse in Middlesbrough

We meet here fairly regularly for tea and a catch up, perfect venue. The food is lovely, there’s plenty of it and all the staff are friendly and chatty.

Food and drinks here are a good value for money. Staff are approachable and friendly. If you need anything they will help you straight away.

Great location, food is lovely, the £6 deals are brilliant and the portions are great for the price, well worth the long trip from Ormesby 😂. Defo recommend, thanks for the great service and food

brilliant food and brilliant service. Staff were lovely and food was nice. Would recommend to a friend and would go back.

Been coming here for a while. For the price of the food you shouldn’t be able to complain. Kind staff and fair food. I’d come back

Great friendly customer service. All the food was lovely and hot. Fast service didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive

Very good place to go for cheap food and drinks. Me personally is in for the football and they could not have been more helpful. Services was fast and a very good pint of madri will definitely be back. Thanks again

I stayed in the hotel for 2 nights, the room was very comfortable, warm, clean and quiet. The staff are super friendly and the food delicious. Definitely recommend.

Often nip in here for breakfast, always friendly quick service with hot fresh food. Strongly recommend trying here, we have eaten here for dinner/tea previously also - no complaints for us!

Fantastic service, clean place and really enjoyed my wrap! The staff are friendly! Big shout out to Chloe and Adele, great lasses!

Food was cooked to a great standard with very good fast service by I believe the GM nonetheless (Rosie) and a waiter, name unknown. In fact this was the best visit we have had to a Greene king site barring The Rudds Arms last week. Would return for certain.

Always great in the Highfield. Staff always friendly especially the manageress Rosie who always stops for a little chat. Not had a bad experience yet.

This is a great place for any activity you desire. Whether it be a quiet lunch, dinner with your family or a night on the drink your friends enjoying the interactive quiz! Definitely recommend and the staff always provide optimal service.

Gorgeous food and friendly staff and a special shout out to Lauren who was very helpful and lovely! Definitely will come back.

Great food and great staff especially lauren who is worth mentioning, great table attentiveness and asked if everything was okay with our food and offered to bring anything else, been here a fair few times and always have a good time!

I 've been staying at The Highfield for 2 weeks while visiting James Cook Hospital and what a lovely hotel. The staff are so caring and go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best. Food was amazing and very reasonable. My room was lovely and kept emaculate by the lovely house keeping ladies who never failed to wish me good morning and ask if there was anything I needed. All in all a very pleasant stay and I will deffinately recommend and re visit.

Amazing food great service with a smile 😊, polite friendly staff . If there is any questions you have staff are there to answer them .

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Big thanks to Adele nothing too much to ask. Food great and arrived quickly after ordering.

Very good food and environment. Fair prices and family friend. The rooms are great: clean and comfortable. I intend to be here back again.

Stayed many times over the last 2 years. Ever professional staff with polite and friendly service. Rosie and Dan run a great team!

Just been Highfield hotel (Hungary horse ) the food was spot on good service and helpful staff , Highfield always clean and sport on tv if like to watch .

Stayed here on business stay, and would just like to stay this hotel is spot on. Massive shout out to Chloe and Adele in the bar theses girl are nothing but the best!!! ive explored a few hotels in Middlesbrough and this is nothing but...

We made the absolutely ridiculous decision to give this place another try, after the debacle that was our last visit (reviewed on here) We found a dirty table that had been rubbed over following the last customers. My wife went to order at the bar...

Kind friendly pub always made to feel welcome. Food has always been fast hot well presented any issues staff are helpfull and willing to help. Like the fact dogs are welcome we often visit with our 2 dogs.

Dined here for many years, however it has gradually been going down hill for awhile First time here for months and wont be returning. The Fish and Chips were awful, (the dog got the fish) lasagne was eatable but dry and burnt around the edges....

Stayed at the hotel for 2 days/nights, the food was plentiful , the first meal (gammon) was rather overcooked but edible still, The bar staff were all polite, We had a lovely sized bedroom that was warm and cosy, but we didnt get much sleep...

Went for a Thursday night pub tea, but also been in a few times for breakfast recently too. I really like this venue because it never lets me down. Opted for the mini mixed grill this time and I don’t understand what was mini about...

Came and visited the Highfeild hotel last night with my partner , what an amazing experience it was , upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely staff members , we got served numerous times by Rosie , Chloe and Joseph and their service was...

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. Tables were set for a Christmas party with poppers and crackers; we all had fun. Everyone enjoyed their food and my steak was cooked perfect. All around great night.

Went for a treat tea with the family and had a lovely lady called Andrea who went above and beyond to accommodate us, she was so helpful and all with a smile!

Four of us went to the Highfield for lunch and to be fair two of the meals were fine. However the other two were frankly awful. The roast beef lunch was cold with rock hard vegetables and lumpy mash and the chicken mayo baguette was...

Had a lovely family meal 7/10/23 food was on time cooked to perfection and lovely staff on the bar food served to us by caprice

Possibly the worst all day breakfast I’ve ever had. Had it at 4:30pm but it looked like a child had rustled it up this morning and it had been left in the oven till now

What a great visit today. We booked a buffet for over 20 people for a retirement lunch for a colleague. The staff were great and really accommodating; the space reserved for our party was very much appreciated. Not only were the buffet food choices vast,...

Stayed here whilst working locally. The rooms, food, service and staff are fantastic. What a pleasure being there. Thanks to everyone from the early morning cleaners, breakfast/night porter people and tea time service, well done! Premier inns take notice, especially Caerphilly!

Recently moved to boro and highfield has become our regular Friday night local.... quiz night, food and drink all great......shame about the quizmasters red jacket 🤣....team phixx are yet to win the quiz tho

Friday night quiz nights are good fun and have a good friendly atmosphere. Really good food, I definitely recommend the burgers!

We visited on Thursday for tea. I’m not from the area but I met my son&girlfriend who are at uni here. It was his birthday. Plenty of parking. Plenty of tables so no need to pre book. Pre downloaded the greene king app, so ordered food and drink via this. They accept blue light vault codes too saving use 20%. We had steak, crown burgers and Mac n cheese. All were lovely The lady who delivered our food/drinks was lovely, chatty and very welcoming. I wish I got her name as she needs recognition for 5* customer service. I’m not a snob but there were too many screaming and out of control children at times, whilst there parents we’re having a good time. This is the only reason i won’t return. I wish we found the Adult only area when we arrived as our visit would have been different

We use the hungry horse in Hessle and tried the highfield as we were out of town. This pub was (almost) just as good with friendly service, a good range of beer and skysports to watch. The facilities were spotless and the atmosphere of the pub was welcoming

We arrived after booking a table and were told in no uncertain terms to sit anywhere. Cutlery is over there , help yourself we were told. To say the cutlery was less than clean is an understatement. Took me a while to find some we would consider using after cleaning it ourselves. Went to the bar to get drinks and order food. Despite not being busy it took quite a while coming. One of the dishes should have had salad, a pile of limp lettuce was the sun total. The food was alright but the menus were filthy as was the cruet on the table. The barmaid was chucking bottles with a resounding crash into a bin which made you jump every few seconds. She then proceeded to knock something off the bar which smashed everywhere which she found hilarious. We ordered an ice cream and after about 30 minutes we asked to cancel it as we were going to be late for an appointment. We didn’t receive any explanation or apology just are you “gonna pay now then “. Not an experience I would care to repeat nor subject anyone else to. Pretty dismal overall.

Curry Wednesday Great value Nice food Lovely friendly helpful staff Will visit again in the future

Always great food, at a great price, with service second to none Staff always polite and treat you perfectly on time every time Great place to eat, drink and be Merry John & Michelle

Lovely clean hotel we had a family room 1st floor lovely crisp clean bedding , bed was comfy best of all doggie are allowed in the rooms and any where in the bar , we only stayed the one night as hubby went to watch the Boro play , the only down side was no mat in the Bath very slippery .

Absolutely FANTASTIC. All the staff very friendly and helpful including the bar staff, cleaners, maintenance….I had a great stay. The room was lovely and comfortable. For me this would be my first choice of stay. I stayed for 3 nights. Well done to all staff for being an asset to the hotel. You certainly looked after me and went above and beyond.

Myself and a colleague both had the misfortune of staying here recently. The hotel is undergoing some renovation at the moment but there is nothing to warn guests of this when booking or on arrival, Workman tread dirty feet through the bar and restaurant all day long. As a guest I don’t expect to be woken at 7am by drilling and banging, nor do I expect the woman serving breakfast to be so abrupt when saying ‘they’re allowed to start at 7’ My room was clean and well furnished but the window in the bathroom overlooks a parking bay and then the beer garden, the glass is obscure but there is no blind or privacy when using the loo! Don’t be fooled by their advertisements for breakfast, what you get is nothing like they claim, 4 shrivelled button mushrooms, pre-cooked bacon and one awful sausage, there is no care in the breakfast they serve, that’s when you can find someone to serve. The bar staff are very helpful and the beer is good, the food is okay but get what you pay for. On the hotel side they need to treat the guests better, having such a poor breakfast spoils on the whole experience, it feels like a pub operator is playing hotelier, and failing.

Eaten in here a few times over the last few weeks, I’ve found the staff very friendly, helpful and mostly polite. The food is nice, some of the portions are too big for me. It’s a big place but does get busy. Special’s are available on all nights, in general the prices are good anyway. Massive beer garden at the side of the hotel which has been really busy lately with the weather. Enjoyed my visits

Great customer service from the team, lovely food with great atmosphere thanks to alex with the quick service and great pints.

Great family pub, helpful staff and lovely food, always enjoy going wether its a family meal or socialising with friends

I’ve gave you a 1 star as 0 wasn’t available first time we visited and definitely the last I ordered steak sizzler was full of fat and gristle not cooked how I asked also my kids meals chips were hard staff just stood about chatting...

This is our local pub so we are regular visitors to the bar for both food and drinks . Always great service and a friendly welcome . Always feels like a personal Touch as Alex and Adam and josh always greet us and sometimes have...

Great food, great menu & friendly, accomodating staff. We always have a lovely meal here and the kids enjoy going too :)

Lovely place to stay, We visited family on trip back to the area and dogs were welcome which was the reason we booked, but the staff were very helpful and the food was lovely. Recommended for doggie families.

I would avoid this place like the plague! most of the staff are reasonably lovely but the manager Rosie has an awful attitude no people skills whatsoever she is very disliked within the pub and area were the pub is yes she barred me out...

Great service and very welcoming at the hungry horse on marton Road . Food was amazing value and staff were excellent, especially pam and Jonathan.

Poor food no breakfast buster the only reason I went besides it being a new addition to the menu. Settled for mixed grill which was awful was nt asked how I liked my steak it came out rare and inedible gammon no pineapple as per...

We went at tea time and had some food and a few drinks. The food was really nice, the staff were really friendly and helpful

Reserved a table that day, got to the Highfield and was greeted with a friendly smile and directed to my table quickly. I ordered the meals through the app, this made it easier. All food was received on time, was hot and cooked thoroughly. Drinks...

We regularly visit the Highfield with our kids. We have had lots of different options from the menu, our fav being the sf chicken burger, it is honestly the best and nowhere competes. The crispy chicken kebab is always gorgeous too, so fresh. We have...

Had a great time, food was nice and Georgia was especially lovely and made us feel welcome. Will be back again.

Not one edible part apart from a few chips. Chicken was like rubber sausages I have no words and the kids lasagne wasn't fit for the dog. When complaining the delightful manager rosy basically told me she didn't care said she seen the food before...

OUTSTANDING! ❤️ Visited the highfeild hotel tonight for tea with a friend , what an excellent experience, we were served at the bar by a lovely polite gentleman called Alex. Food was absolutely beautiful so thank you to the chefs who cooked us a lovely...

After some time of eating here I just thought I needed to give the highfield some credit for what they do for us. Everyone goes above and beyond especially the two brothers Alex and Joseph who are always welcoming and on the ball with orders....

Lovely service from all the staff. Joseph was very helpful and made the experience easy and comfortable… 10/10 would come again. 😊

Food was great. Joseph gave great service at the table for me. The way he spoke and gave the service he did made it a great night good and service

it was my sons 18th birthday. We continued to look at the menu. Once we all got our drinks we started to pick our meals. On arrival there was a sign informing guests that they was only limited food to have. So we looked at...

Rated this one star, only because they don’t do zero, or more appropriately minus stars. I’m 56 years old and never had anything as bad as the scampi put in front of me tonight. Scampi must be the easiest meal for a chef to make...

Came to visit the highfeild hotel after having a great experience on our last visit and I have to say they most definitely kept up with expectations! Staff all lovely and friendly , nothing is ever too much to ask! Very attentive making sure all...

I would just like to say thank you one again for your great service, we cannot fault the excellent service and the food was as usual lovely. Great staff great place , will be back again soon x

Lovely atmosphere and great attention from staff. Food and drink is reasonably priced and the staff seem happy and get on together which is great to see. There was hardly a wait on food and it was lovely when it arrived. Proper pub grub.

A great variety and quality of food and drink. Brilliant, polite and helpful customer service too! I would definitely recommend visiting if you get a chance.

The staff are lovely and are very accommodating to everyone’s needs, nothing was too much for them! The food was amazing and very tasty! Service was very quick and everything came out to perfection! Would absolutely go again and will recommend anyone to go there!...

Visited The highfield recently with a couple of friends for tea. Great atmosphere staff smiley and friendly. Lovely food. Recommend

Recently visited to have a day out with my family with the euros going on and had nothing but a great experience. Alex was always pleasant and quick on the bar considering there was a full table of 6 of us. Definition the best place...

Cannot fault the staff at the highfield, always very accommodating and do their best to meet our requirements every time. Alex always takes the time to make sure we have everything we need and is a credit to the pub

Was met by Jack and he clearly explained what type they service we could have, give intrutions cleary and easily in relation to the app use, service fast and efficient. Jack ensured the food and service was fantastic

Such a shame that we couldn't wait to leave due to the volume of the music in the background as the food (we had fish and chips) was really nice

Upon entry to the pub this evening we were met with a warm welcome as always by the lovely Pam, an absolute stalwart of the Highfield for many years. She brightens everyones day and is always professional and efficient. See you on the other side...

We visited the restaurant for the first time in years. We were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and very quick service indeed. I would recommend it here.

Having been in this place previously and having a great meal we decided to go again today just for a couple of drinks.. May I say the customer service from start to finish in this place is outstanding.. The guy behind the bar ALEX was...

Been coming here years, really can't beat the value for money when it comes to the food, always have offers on too. Drinks are cheap enough too, service is great, fast and reliable. Andrea is extra caring and goes the extra mile to make sure...

Hot tasty food, brilliant fast service overall a lovely place to eat, waitress Andrea deserves some brownie points 😁

Absolutely value for money- couldn’t fault the food and service. Staff very good and friendly. I’m a bit paranoid about the pandemic so everything has to be spot on. Got to say that everything was great. Made me feel very safe and secure, very well...

1st time in and WOW what a surprise. The place was busy but the food was served well within any waiting time.. What we had we couldn't fault.. 3 x burger sizzler combos, 1 full monty mixed grill, 1 chicken escalope with curry sauce & chicken sewers.. All were really tasty and cooked to perfection.. Drinks were reasonably priced as well.. Can't wait for our next visit.. Thank you to Dan (manager) and his staff for a very pleasant experience... Cheers

We reserved a table for 13 people at The Hungry Horse on a Wednesday night. We often use this as a venue for meetings & they are very accommodating, even turning the music down so we could hear each other. We ordered using the app, and apart from a missing drink and naan which was resolved instantly, the orders came quickly and efficiently. I ordered the mini mixed grill which was a great, filling combination. The staff dealt with our requests and rectified missing dishes without any issues.

We popped in the hungry horse yesterday 23rd January on our way home from a family funeral the place was quite busy so we went in the over 18s section and there was 2 reserved tables which we thought was for a older group but it ended up a group with young children running up and down whilst we were trying to eat our meal I thought over 18 ment no one under that but obviously not we weren’t the only ones unhappy about this a couple of gentlemen on the next table were also not happy about the kids running about so we finished our meal and drinks and left

if your looking for cheep food, great staff this is the place to come quick and good quality good drinks choices from craft beer to amazing gins can not fault the place will return in the future with family

Have used the Hungry Horse chain many times on our travels so had no worries about going to the Highfield whilst on holiday nearby.We ordered from the Golden Years menu and had Gammon steak and apple crumble which was very very nice and filled us both up as the portions were large for the price we paid.

Been coming here the last couple of weeks on a Friday after work, as a pub it is absolutely spot on. The staff are sound and the outdoor area is great.

I have Been told theres new young management here and a bit of trouble has gone but still usual dd goes every day and stands outside bringing deals on phone its obs everyone can see also still dealing in toilets and when brought to manager attention just laughed.its no wonder any decent local person would go here.I’ve been told its a nightmare from quite a few who used to go in there but seen them in other pub on roundabout where its ran more professional and not influenced on money instead on customer satisfaction.Greene King should be ashamed and licence taken off them.

We came to the hungry horse for my son Aiden's 7th birthday Olivia Hill was our server for the evening she was a lovely girl and very polite we had a lovely meal and it was really nice would defiantly come here again x
