The Mitre in Stockton-on-Tees

Owner is odd and acts like your an unwanted guest in their home, feels more like a membership club than a local. Has weird opening times. Has weird rules around “pre approved” children in after 9 o’clock. Used to be a good pub years ago now only half of it opens. It could be like the Derry, the car park is huge for it. Saturday nights are dead in there. Shame really.

Perfect welcome , staff lovely , food came well cooked , hot and a great price . A spur of the minute decision to pop in and pleased I did will definitely return and try Sunday lunch .

We went for food, which was ok. What wasn't good was a carpark full of potholes and no disabled toilets, despite being told they had some

went for sunday lunch again with my wife,Pamela daughter Elaine,Paul and his lad Tom. Food was in my opinion ok this time with pleasant staff and nicely presented. May well try somewhere else next time,to me a change is as good as a rest. Thank you at the Mitre for everything.

After attending my brother's funeral we decided to visit for a farewell drink. What a mistake that was, there would have been about 25-30 of us who wanted to respectfully remember his passing. We hadn't been in there two minutes when a woman appeared whom I assumed was the licencee and all we got was we don't want parties unless pre-booked. She completely ignored us when we tried to tell her why we had visited but all she whinged on about was the fact she only had one person working in the kitchen, nobody had either mentioned or even wanted food. There was only a handful of people in there so you would have thought she would have welcomed the custom. Never again.

My pint of Robinson’s Trooper was absolutely top notch. Such a shame that the Sunday Roast was so far from good. Improvements could be made so simply, providing the table with a gravy boat rather than just ladling it on in the kitchen; use some seasoning on the veg; and don’t use frozen roast potatoes. All in all I arrived with low expectations and left with them fulfilled.

What happened to the chips ? Last time we went Chips were perfect ,last night hard and pale.I was there with friends and we all left the chips ,however the parmesan was lovely.

Today we had the fish and chips the fish was very dry and disappointing, followed by lemon drizzle and custard, the cake was very solid and served cold with nearly warm custard, we took this back only to be told the cake is always served cold with custard, not a pleasant experience and won’t be back in a hurry.

Went for Sunday lunch. Absolutely dreadful. Instant mashed potato. Frozen vegetables. I think the only thing that was real food was the meat. Absolute waste of money. Definitely will not go again. Staff were lovely, only good thing about the place.

First time visit for sunday lunch at this pub,went with daughter and her fellow. they said it was good value,so it was. A big dinner,meat,3 veg,roasties and 2 yorkshires for£10 good value was correct, can recommend to anyone in the area,locals or visitors. probably call again when visiting Stockton. Thank you to the staff for pleasant and well served fare.

Had Sunday lunch today, unfortunately we found it very disappointing. The vege was bland and tasteless and the pork was tough, the food was fairly cold too and as it did`nt all come out together had probably been left waiting to be served. The deserts ,however were lovely but were just sections of premade cake but again the custard was cold. Won`t be back, shame as it is local and used to be value for £.

The Mitre had just opened when we had our first date 60 years ago! Now surrounded by housing but then it was out in the country. Happy memories .......whilst the building and interior needs a new makeover the food and service could not be faulted. Good menu choice & we had excellent fish dishes with crispy chips well served. Such a shame that owners haven’t thought about updating as the location & catchment area must offer great opportunities.

Last minute decision to go out for tea, weather was nice so sat in garden & took the dog with us, service was good, friendly staff, & food was excellent, we all enjoyed it. Will be going again. Well done to all at the Mitre 😍

Recently returned to The Mitre after being out the area for numerous years. We were both pleasantly surprised at the service and portions provided. The management team were very customer orientated. Will happily be returning as a regular punter once COVID allows.

had a lovely visit after it opened up again , covid policies in place ,food lovely, unfortunately went downhill when large families come in and constantly going passed every minute, children running riot, noticed one kid rubbing his hand up and down the bar,no good telling adults to follow procedures when you let's cildren run around

A convenient place with lots of free parking, The Mitre has been where it is for many decades. Service was very good and friendly, though the food possibilities was not so good. Salads were availale with dinners, but there was a shortage of vegetables. The Cumberland Sausage meal came with no salad or vegetables at all.

First visit for food here. Saw the mixed reviews and wasn’t expecting anything special but I got a friendly service and decent pub food. I ordered half Parmesan off the £5 menu and my friend ordered lasagne. There’s two menus - smaller portions for £5 and then another menu with mains between £8-10. Standard pub food, burgers etc. But my Parmo was lovely with a large portion of chips and my friend enjoyed the lasagne with a large bowl of chips and garlic bread. Very nice, filled a hole and very reasonably priced. Defo go again!

Went to The Mitre for tea on a Saturday for the second time. The staff were lovely ,very welcoming & friendly. The food was lovely, I usually struggle to eat a full meal so the smaller appetite menu was perfect for me. We will be visiting again.

Visited with family for Sunday lunch friends had refined it. Last time I was here was 30 years ago and to be honest it had not changed much very much in need of modernisation a revamp. Having said that the food wasn't that bad the meats were good apart from the beef which was chewy as beef can be s sometimes. Swede was undercooked gravy was amazing Yorkshire puds great too, so just out to be honest. Desserts were not homemade and a bit disappointing but overall an average lunch. Not sure we will be back as had much better but also had worse

hubby and I opted for small portions. He had lemon sole cooked in bread crumbs (probably from frozen I had sausage and mash which was fine (3 sausages) 2 would have been enough Overall ok Don't think we will go again

Food is great, service made us decide never to return. Whoever was on carvery was a miserable sod. Don't think to ask for two of anything it simply is not possible or allowed. Customer service needs to be rethought in this place. Lost two possible recurring customers as a result. Don't go here!

Visited here Sunday 8th September. We had carvery Sunday lunch, Unfortunately my opinion is very poor - Yorkshire puddings were over cooked/burned and all of the vegetables were absolutely tasteless /watery. On the plus side the beef was pleasant, The bar staff and the table waiting staff were friendly but the person carving and serving meat Was Not. Will not return.

We visited with a group of friends to use our winnings from the pub quiz! Not our first visit for food and won’t be our last! Always great food and a lovely welcome from the staff. Lovely carvery dinner and proper gravy! Top notch!

nice pub,decent selection afternoon bar meals.good service,very attentive,food,pretty good,5.50 per meal,would use again.

Love going in here since moving to fairfield last year, staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.Dog friendly in the bar area (just not upstairs)staff always willing to go out their way to give water bowls out - they now sell bar snacks for hounds too! Good selection of drinks available.We visit once or twice a month, Never had a problem with food. Always served in a timely fashion and are well presented taste nice and hot! They do smaller portions menu meaning I can get a small Parmesan with chips and salad for £5.50 which is a life saver as we can’t afford to eat out often! Thankyou

Recently returned to The Mitre after being out the area for numerous years. We were both pleasantly surprised at the service and portions provided. The management team were very customer orientated. Will happily be returning as a regular punter.

Average food quality on the Sunday carvery Beef was abit chewy didn’t really enjoy that. Nice clean pub. Friendly staff.

Went during day for bite 2 eat had the beef chili off the 5 pound menu great choice homemade chips staff friendly place clean would recommend

The Mitre looks like a lot of other British Pubs, generally OK, but not outstanding, but the staff are pleasant and helpful, the drinks are not expensive, and the carvery very good value for money. There was a choice of roast meat: pork, beef, turkey and ham, and vegetables. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and not soggy (which can happens if they are left around too long waiting for customers)

Called here for Sunday lunch, warm sunny day so sat outside, drinks very reasonably priced as was the lunch itself, food was very well presented with chef on meats with a good selection , very very pleasant staff recommend this venue to anyone

Sunday lunch is a carvery with the choice of the usual meats. Vegetarian option is the same vegetables as the meat eat eaters, however the vegetables are plentiful and cooked so they are still cooked yet firm: an excellent carvery at a very inexpensive charge.

Had a Parmesan and it was delicious! Come here fairly regularly now as it’s a great atmosphere and the food is great and reasonably priced for the quality! Menu is quite extensive too, so if Parmo isn’t your thing I’m sure you’ll find something!

So spent £97:00 here asked for food at 6:50pm to be told Food stopped. We went in to bar at 6:50pm for food see sign. In beer Garden a Man in a black top snapped "You asked for food at 6:55pm and we are a Free house, so No Area manager lol. & do your worst as "You tried to give a minor alchalol " they served us 5 Sambucas but took money then ran out. No younger girl cant have one. Very clicky pub avoid spend your £97 else were. Rude guy in black should not have had ago thinks been a Free house gives him right to insult customers. Stay away. Reminds me of "Are u local " or go away

Had a jacket potato today and it was the worst thing I have eaten, might as well of thrown my money away.

I can't help singing the praises for the food here..

This is our local pub so we do go in quite frequently.

Arrived for 12 just as the Mitre opened ,we were looking forward to a nice Carvery.

Visited this with a friend. Food was lovely. Choice of four roasts, accompanied by a good selection of fresh vegetables. Added attraction is that O.A.Ps and kiddies under 12 can enjoy what is termed a "small plate". An ample sufficiency and inexpensive treat. Definitely recommended.

Sunday lunch excellent all fresh vegetables nothing from frozen proper Yorkshire puddings and choice of 4 meats the gravy is the best i have tasted in a pub carvery

I struggled with this place to be honest. its nice and clean but the food not really great but its not that expensive so i might be being a bit harsh

first time in this pub had a lovely Easter Sunday Carvery all the meats looked nice I had the ham and Turkey tender and tasty with roasties and Yorkshire pud along with carrot cauliflower cabbage and smashed potatoes altogether a lovely lunch well done the...

Qué un cambio refrescante. Genial ahora colocar ha sucedido. La comida es genial. El menú es bueno y tiene algo para todo el mundo. No es una mala comida para nadie.

Viernes 24 de julio fuimos en febrero de 2017, no puedo creer que una casa pública de calidad no tienen licor cointreau. Esto debe ser corregido inmediatamente, ya que sólo la bebida dijo un licor. No volveré hasta que pueda verificar la posesión de dicho un licor.

Fui el viernes por la noche para comer algo que normalmente usas el menú más livianos 5 libras un plato incluye pescado y patatas fritas, hamburguesa de pollo, y queso parmesano. Fuimos para el menú principal y no estamos decepcionados que tenía el pollo carbonara que era una buena opción muy buena parte y absolutamente precioso. A mi marido le lasaña mismo gran parte encantador casero. Personal genial como de costumbre. Incluso el karaoke todos los viernes de 9:00 h.

Llamé para reservar mesa, ya en silla de ruedas, poner en la mesa de esquina peor más duro para llegar a wc luego! ! No hay baño minusválidos pero no dijeron cuando reservamos. 80 libras para asiento ettack con controladores laterales sin arreglar o incluso más barato de dos carriles uno en cada lado. Que pena por ti.

El servicio fue el peor! Director tenía problema de actitud! Caro. No recomendaría en absoluto - ¡Nunca más! !

Went there on a Friday evening with friends. Quite a few vegetarian options, although don't try the penne pasta with tomato chilli sauce unless you like it hot. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Would go again,.

We ate in The Mitre one Saturday lunch time. Really nice food and a good portion size.The price was average and to feed 2 adults and 1 child it came to roughly £23 (including drinks) which I thought was a good price.The pub has quirky seating areas which are fun to dine at. The service was quick and the place has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

We ate here with a large family group . Staff extremely friendly and arranged a corner for us to sit together . Food very good and served fairly quickly, a bonus when eating with a large group . Bill extremley reasonable

We were visiting family in Stockton and decided to go here for lunch. There were eleven of us and we hadn't pre-booked. Several members of the family who had eaten here previously reported on it positively. We drove into the huge carpark to find only two other cars which didn't fill us with much confidence as it was a Sauturday and we thought it might be busy. Consequently there was no problem parking or securing a table, which was large enough to seat 11. The menu offered a good range of traditional dishes, something for everyone and the food was declicious, with good portion sizes. All the meals were served together so there was no waiting around. The service was excellent and friendly and the cost was very good value. I would recommend this pub.

Visited with friends and again with my daughter. The food was good quality and cooked beautifully. Plenty of choice and the service was to a high standard and a good price too. If you're looking for good food and friendly service this is the place to go.

We went here on Monday evening for a spur of the moment meal out. Being a Monday night it was very quiet. The 3 of us ordered very different meals but all came out together piping hot and cooked beautifully. Good portion sizes and quality food that we all enjoyed. The staff were friendly and helpful and food prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be going again especially as this is now basically our "local"

Visited for the first time in many years, what a lovely pub , good meals choice of drinks pleasant friendly staff, very comfortable

Ummmh! Well we did enter en masse some 10 in total. The pub was not busy for 1.30pm. We struggled to find what to do, how to sit with so many. A young guy in black we assumed was staff who was happy if WE pulled together tables. Another person in black was called upon to advise how we got food which was not obvious. We went to the bar and ordered the carvery and drinks paying separately for 4 it came to £35 adult carvery and drinks, good value I think. We trundled up and to the back of the pub and found the servery which had 4 choices of meat, and as much veg as you could handle.Now my beef and gammon, was good. The veg carrots, cabbage and mushy peas were not appreciated around the table, too hard, under cooked and tough were comments heard. I found the gravy tasty and helped with my dinner and my oldest son who loves a carvery finished his plate. We cleared our own table, and a couple of puds were ordered for the kids fudge cake and ice cream which they enjoyed.Ok bottom line, we have been used to a national brand of carvery, this local Fayre was half the price and the meat was brilliant the veg well I could have done better, in fact my mother-in-law an ex dinner lady said she would have done better with the veg for a whole school. But you can't knock the price.We may go back.

An excellent venue for lunch or evening meal friendly attentative staff good selection on menu to suit all appetites. Loved the steak. See you soon

I was advised to go to this place by my neighbour. They often have lunch midweek. I waited and went on a Saturday lunch. Other people have mentioned it being quiet. It was, but it wasn't. It is quite a big place, with people sat in different locations, including the beer garden. I liked the family that ran it, they were a family. It was nice not for it to feel like a large chain. I ordered the Stake and Ale Pie, it was huge. I liked that it really is home made, you could see where it had been sealed with a fork around the edge. Do we remember that? I don't eat chips often, but these were great, chunky chip, I think cut with an axe! Oh, the pie was great, you could really taste the ale. The 3 other family members had the Italian Chicken, they enjoyed it. Large portions, so much that we never had any dinner. Will we go back yes, do I recommend it yes. I drove from Yarm, so the big car park was important to me. Summing up friendly, value and good food. I do believe on Sunday they only do Sunday dinner.

From the moment we approached the bar I felt welcome in this lovely pub. The bar staff were very friendly and approachable and advised us on the menu and ordering procedure. It was very quiet for a Friday night which worried me a little but we were not disappointed when our food arrived. We ordered the Cumberland sausage and gammon and eggs which were both enjoyable.

I visited today with my family and 9 month old and when we got to the bar we were told they were no longer serving food because there were too many orders however they then went on to allow the people after us to order food. We were disgusted as it seems one rule for one and another for another Certainly won't be returning!

Lovely friendly staff.Had the carvery.The meat choices were great and the meat very tender and juicy.Was plenty of veg to choose from,only downside was it could do to be hotter.We have been back it was that nice.

Went here for lunch on sunday with my mam and sister. First time I have been ended up walking upstairs which was difficult for my mam as she has to walk with a cane only to find out you pay at the bar downstairs?They had a large selction on offer for the cavery which is all they do on Sunday no other choices are available.The food was warm not hot appart from the roast potatoes that felt like they had just been brought out of the Kitchen.Probably wont be going back on a sunday tbh.

We eat Sunday lunch here frequently, as it is convenient. They do smaller portions for senior citizens, which we like.There is usually a choice of 3 or 4 joints of meat and 4 vegetables and roast and mashed potatoes. The carrots are unpeeled and cut quite large, so it's possible to take the peel off them in one piece, not very appetising. The mashed potatoes are described as creamed, but they aren't. The Yorkshire puddings and stuffing are fine. There is a choice of 4 sauces to accompany the meat. Having said all this the meal is good value for money and the meat is well cooked.

Took my mum here today. She broke her arm a couple of weeks ago and the staff were lovely and very willing to help her. The Sunday was lovely. Reasonably priced and great size. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area.

Came here to watch Last Anthem band. Had some tea before hand! The parmos are to die for! Absolutely gorgeous! Not greasy at all which is what we like! Service was fab, lovely staff. Great atmosphere for the band. Great night. Will come back for sure!

Visited the Mitre for a Sunday carvery, and was impressed with the service of all staff, as soon as we sat down they cleaned the table and removed the glassed from the previous customers, choice of meats and a plentiful amount of veg to choose from, if you want to beat the queue best go for 12 o'clock as it gets busy quickly

The Mitre has improved massively since the new landlord took over last year. Now dog friendly, it serves a good range of drinks and the meals are excellent. The staff really make the place, a lovely group of people

Visit here most Sunday's for lunch. Good choice of meats and vegetables. Unfortunately, the carrots are usually not very nice, they appear to have the skin left on and this comes off the carrots in large whorls, not very appetising. Everything else is fine.

We come here quite regularly for Sunday lunch as it is totally fresh food being served. Sunday lunch is served between 12-3pm at a cost of £6.95 per adult. Good selection of meat - 4 in total to choose from and if you want you can have a slice of each on offer. Stuffing balls, home made Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes are offered by the chef. Then you can fill your plate with fresh vegetables, there is normally 4-5 to choose from and creamed mash potato. Home made gravy and condiments are available. Food is 100% fresh and not plastic, hence why we enjoy coming here. Good selection of desserts on offer and we have had the homemade apple crumble and custard on a few occasions. Good service and well priced.

First visit here, after passing lots of times over the years. Great value Sunday carvery. Bargain at £6.95. Beef really good, and have to say is on par with places like chadwicks etc but half the price. Good choice of veg etc and good Yorkshires.Only thing I would say the pub itself could do with a bit of a makeover. Will definitely be visiting again for Sunday carvery.

Dropped into the mitre not long ago for a carvery and it was amazing, very impressed with the quality of food. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Cannot fault this place and would recommend the carvery specifically to anyone.

My parents, Grandma and I came here for Sunday lunch and I wasn't disappointed. The carvery was quick service with 4 meats to choose from, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, roasties and a selection of vegetables.The taste of everything was delicious... Even the gravy.I have not tried their other meals yet but I will be in the near future.If you're in the area, give it a try and I'm sure that you'll be pleasantly surprised

Have eaten here for Sunday carvery and from the menu, always delicious. Fresh chips every time and everything cooked perfectly

Just popped in had no expectations of the meal but was pretty impressed...good food home made chips big or small portions available and great value for money....was so nice we went back the following day for the Sunday carvery ....great meal also we will be definitely returning

After visiting recently for Sunday lunch I was put off by a lingering burnt taste, however as we live nearby we chanced again ( as they always smell lovely ) and hoped that it was just an off Sunday last time..we weren't disappointed..beautiful cooked beef and pork, all fresh veg..It was lovely, so glad we tried again.

Just had a sunday lunch carvery at The Mitre. Excellent service, top quality food, good size portions and a good price. I couldnt fault it, I will be back for more.

Top notch staff and owners with fantastic food!! Not much more I can say but best pub in stockton by far

After deciding to go out for Sunday lunch we arrived at The Mitre just before closing time for food, (12.00x15.00hrs) great choices of meats, gammon,pork,Turkey and roast beef, plus a good choice of vegetables, not just your average carrots and peas!!. All fresh and tasty, well worth popping up for a Sunday carvery,

For the first time in many years I went to the Mitre Pub and had a meal and drink during lunchtime. To my delight this pub has now secured two very committed tenants who were pleasant and very professional - think the Manager was called Chris and his wife was lovely too! The service was excellent and the food delicious and served beautifully. The price for my club style sandwich and coffee together was more than reasonable and I would recommend this to anyone in the Stockton On tees area. I learned during my visit that this pub has changed hands many times over the last few years yet Chris and his wife seem to be looking at this as a long term commitment. In time they have plans to upgrade the décor so I would say use this venue and help them make the Mitre back into the great pub I used to visit regularly as a 20 something year old!!! This is an ideal pub for couples in their 40's!!!! Mrs P Green (Long Newton resident)

I visited the mitre with my family on Friday night we were a little apprehensive as we had been a few years previous and it was bad however the food was gorgeous and we will certainly go again.

Just had a meal at the mitre. 1 word AWFUL.Ask for jalfrezi got korma . Staff said definitely jalfrezi. Never knew it was white with coconut in. Ordered chicken and bacon pasta and that is what I got. There was no sauce at all. Went to order off desert menu and was told only could order off the board.Definitely will not come back

Extremely friendly and welcoming atmosphere with really nice food. Brilliant decoration and hygiene to top things off. We use this place for family meals on a regular basis and not once have we had any form of incident or issue. Highly recommend this place over others, especially for an evening meal.

Been in for the past 3 Sunday's..best carvery I have had, lots of choice and good quality. Love the quirkiness of this place. The new owners are doing a fantastic job...highly recommend.

New tenants at The Mitre. Good, heavy cutlery. Food delicious. Just hope the car park receives some attention

Good traditional pub grub with a good selection of beers to compliment.Emma and Chris doing a great job. Keep up the good work!!

Finnaly sombody has taken over the mitre and knows what they are doing. Food was very good. Beer very good plenty to pick from. Friendly staff the future is looking bright

Starting with the positives - very quiet even on a Saturday tea time, food arrived promptly and generous portion sizes.The children's chicken nuggets were made with real chicken and tasted better than expected. Unfortunately most of the adult food was not eaten even by our teenage sons who usually eat anything and everything. The mixed grill was greasy and tasteless, the parmo was burnt underneath, salad and chips were greasy and just generally very poor quality. We thought the desserts might have been better but the sticky toffee pudding was hard and more like fruit cake and the ice cream sundae was served in a glass used for drinking from and was bland and tasteless and the custard served with apple crumble was cold and tasted like a packet mix.

Main meals were ok. Plates weren't cleared by staff. Waited ages for desserts and the custard was cold. Paid for mains and desserts separately by card so was charged 50p each time used card. Pub in general was also cold and very dark. Probably won't go back

Went here with a friend. Small menu but nice selection. Both starter and main weren't up to much. Chicken burger was cold and seemed to have been sat around for a while before being served. Most likely won't be returning.

Had lunch there today and first impressions were it's very dark, had a curious odour, fairly empty and little atmosphere. Food was decidedly average, no steak pie available so we risked the chicken parmesans which were ok but pretty tasteless. My husband had an all day breakfast which was again very average and served without toast, fried bread or any kind of bread. It was £7.45 for the breakfast.Sticky toffee pudding was presented nicely however and was actually very nice. Young barman was pleasant and tried his best.Somehow we were just glad to leave and it didn't feel like a pleasant experience.

Recent visit was February 2014I have been to the Mitre a bit over the last few years as I live very close by.I used to be a Horse & Jockey fan until it became a childs playground and the food became very cheap quality. The Mitre has some good food.Unfortunately, we stopped by the Mitre late afternoon, ordered a drink and sat down to look at the menu.I was sat shivering, my partner equally was as bad.It was so cold that we never finished our drinks and headed all the way to the Talpore at the Tees Barrage!!!I don't know what's happened recently at the Mitre, but I wont be going there again!

my wife and I, went for a meal with my Groupon to day 8/4/14. the meal was very good and hot.The service was spot on. thank u. Stephen/Margaret H.

Came in with my groupon not expecting to much with only paying £11 for 2 courses for 2 people but I was very impressed with the food and the young man behind the bar wad very helpful what a great evening thank you

A very poor meal that was going to be a celebration and turned into a flop. Very poor quality food that was really disappointing. They also had only one bottle of Tonic in the place so gin and tonic was out of the question as well (a pub with only one bottle of tonic, alarm bells should have been ringing then). So all in all it was our one and only visit to this place and will not use it again, as I said very poor indeed!

I first visited the mitre with family to take advantage of the "2 for £10" deal that they run during the week, we arrived to a spacious car par and a clean pub with helpful staff, they pointed out all the offers on drinks and the food took no time at all to be prepared, ample portion sizes and delicious food, will defiantly be visiting again!

Had a party booked for mother in laws 60th on 7th Feb. Staff went out of their way to accommodate us and the children. Mother in law tried a 'parmo' for the first time and absolutely loved it!! She's had another one since! Thankyou. Highly recommended!

I ate the parmo and chips here the 08/02/14. the chips tasted acrid like they were cooked in 6 month old oil and the parmo looked like a turkey escalope that had been run through a mangle. I ate half of it and left disapointed. Within 8 hours i had sickness and diarrhoea. In summary avoid this place like the plague

My partner and I fancied having a late tea to save us cooking and decided to visit here. It was easy to get to and had ample parking, nice a clean inside with a lovely ambience. We were served straight away and had no problems with waiting for food, the starters arrived nice and hot and the main meal followed 5 minutes after this which again was nice and hot. I complimented the waitress on the great service as she was very curteous and complimented the chef for the food we received. Everything was wonderful until later that night I had very painful stomach cramps and was doubled over in bed with much discomfort feeling sick. I awoke the next morning and had diahorrea however still managed to go to work as I thought the feeling might pass, I got sent home from work after projectile vomiting. Once I was home I felt nauseous and had a cold chill which I couldn't get warm then slept for hours not feeling hungry and only sipping water. I knew it must have been something I'd eaten so I rang my partner as we'd both had the same main meal "Chicken Parmesan" and he told me he had been sick that morning had felt terrible so this is the only meal we had ate together as we'd both had separate meals the previous night to visiting here. I awoke the next day (today) and felt fresh as a daisy and back to work feeling much better than the day after I'd ate that meal. Quite disappointing really as everything was great until then, I won't be visiting here again due to my bad experience, food poisioning is awful! :(
