The Protein Cafe in Middlesbrough

Very expensive £38 for 4 sausages, 3 tiny lamb chops, chips, a little dish of rice and a few sauces. The sausages were nice and the lamb chops were like rubber very disappointing.

Breast in the burger was half of the size and with full of tomatoes I asked for garlic sauce but idk what was that totally wasted £12.75

Waiting so long for the food and the peri peri burger was under cooked and the chips were under cook. Not good customer service.

Disappointing Afternoon Tea Experience Unfortunately, our afternoon tea experience fell far below expectations. From the start, we were told we couldn’t choose our sandwiches because we hadn’t given 48 hours’ notice — something that was never mentioned on the website, in the confirmation email, or via text. The sandwiches we were served tasted dry and slightly stale. The soup was the only highlight in terms of taste, but it was far too salty to fully enjoy. When we asked to take our remaining desserts home, we were told they had no takeaway containers and were instead offered foil wrap, which felt unprofessional and impractical, especially for delicate sweets. To top it off, we had to chase the waiter just to pay the bill — not ideal when you're already ready to leave after a disappointing visit. Overall, it felt like poor communication and lack of attention to detail really let the experience down. Would not recommend unless significant improvements are made.

The tipsy cow is class gorgeous food,lovely staff,good atmosphere and it's a all arounder basically.The only problem is though if you want to have a seat or if you're coming with loads of people book the seats because it can be choc a block sometimes and I'm not sure how much we spend here all together as I have a huge family but what I can tell you is for the price isn't bad and it's warm and you get plenty of chips etc so if you're looking to go to the tipsy cow for some food and drink i suggest to come 😊
