Travellers Rest in Hartlepool

Great service from Megan who got us our drinks quickly and ensured the order was correct , lovely food and drinks with reasonable prices

Strange experience but staff response was great, ordered 6 meals 5 okay 6th one had some parts of the meal cold as in stake and gammon other parts red hot, food changed no problem, staffing appeared low and wait time was long but generally warm friendly staff made up for the error.

Was there for my . Birthday meal and it was cooked to perfection kaitllyn you out done yourself again your cooking is 1st class as always staff are very friendly and a good atmosphere looking forward to my next visit see you all soon

friendly helpful staff and atmosphere. Food was lovely and service was very quick. we will be back as there's a good choice of food for everyone.

January 26th We had gone in for a meal we were on table 8 my partner had a steak he had it cooked blue and the chef was katlyn and she cooked It to perfection and I had a gammon and that was gorgeous we will be and also the staff are very friendly

Sticky tabled, two lots of music playing at the same time, generally strange place. Ordered meal and when arrived they informed they had no garlic bread; nothing offered in replacement. Strange as we had payed for a meal with garlic bread and it seems reasonable to get what you pay for.

Had a fabulous festive meal on 19 December. It was so good we went again tonight, it was just as good. Thanks to all the staff.

Honestly- love breakfast with Santa. Makes my day. This is our 3rd year and never been disappointed. Staff are welcoming and always on hand to make the breakfast that extra special. Santa is the best- goes the extra mile and actually takes his time with the children. Breakfast is good and service was great. Thanks and have a fab Xmas .

Made a booking for two via the pub website & arrived on time. We were shown to our table, browsed the menu & went to the bar to order. All going fine so far. After waiting at the bar for about 10 mins a staff member noticed that I had a menu in my hand & said rather bluntly “the kitchen’s closed”. I explained that they’d accepted my booking and actually shown us to our seats. The staff member asked if I’d booked in the morning and when I explained that it had been in the afternoon when I’d booked she replied “Well that’s it then. I don’t have any kitchen staff”. I absolutely get that unforeseen staffing issues happen and my low rating isn’t for that. It was the blunt manner in which the staff member (whom I think may well have been a manager) delivered the message to us with no apology and zero empathy. Shocking service.

Great for tea some great offers and always happy to help. Cailum makes the travellers rest with his great service ! Well done to the team in there but massive thanks to this man for his work I’ll be back again because how well the service was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent service, friendly team who gave us a warm welcome and were very attentive & great food! Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic night! Entertainment by 5 star entertainment and travs is was brilliant!! Group of 8 of all had an amazing night! Can’t wait for 2nd one!! amazing from start to finish!! Great bar staff/floor staff! .. 10/10 team effort!!!!

Amazing service at the restaurant today, food and drink was lovely, lots of great options to choose from on menu.

Visited for a family birthday, great atmosphere with Karaoke. Even better was the 2 for 1 cocktails. Fun night had by all.

Good food, fun night, enjoyed the karaoke, great choice of drinks, had footy and rugby on x will definitely go again xx

A great spot for a get together for a birthday celebration meeting up with good friend, lovely atmosphere, and a good choice of drinks/cocktails.

Great night. Excellent atmosphere and well looked after by the very friendly staff Great night had by all

Great food at amazing prices. All the staff are great. Especially Sue! 5* Such a welcoming place to visit.

As a regular to this pub we have previously has no complaints and have enjoyed the food and service from the staff who have always been friendly. However tonight we arranged to meet up with friends as Kareoke was advertised and we were expecting a fun night out. When we arrived there had been a private function on in another room for parents and children. That function must have finished and they all went into to the main area where the karaoke was taking place. I understand it is the pubs policy that children should be off the premises by 9 pm But this was not the case as they did not leave till 10.15. Hardly anyone could get on the karaoke as the children took over and were running around all over the place. Hardly any seats available and when we did manage to get a table it was wet, full of empty glasses and rubbish. the floor was soaking with spilt drinks. We eventually settled down to enjoy the night when the kids left only to be informed by the DJ that the karaoke had to finish at 10.40 for the boxing. We were all very annoyed as no one in the room Wanted to watch the boxing and if they did they could have gone in the bar. Why advertise Karaoke and people make the effort to go out when in actual fact from the kids leaving it was only on for 40 mins. The Managers attitude was leave if your not happy

Great food. Burger was spot on. Great service. Would recommend to all. Will definitely be returning.

Yet another brilliant night drinks and food thanks James and team and lovely bar staff 😀 👍 for my daughter 18th made her night a special doing the quiz too 😀

It was the first to this pub, and we weren’t disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The drinks and food prices are very reasonable. We had the steak sizzler and a steak flatbed. The steak was cooked perfectly as ordered, and very tasty. We really enjoyed the food, and would definitely visit again.

Really good value food and for the price no complaints whatsoever. Had two steaks both cooked well and a burger which was also tasty. Deserts were excellent.

Our regular pub. Great atmosphere and helpful, chatty and friendly staff. Perfect for a post work pint or a family meal.

Arrived at 4.30 for Dinner/Tea.. ordered food at 4.45pm via app by 5.10pm no drinks or food. Food arrived first. Had to tell the bar ourselves as they didnt know as were "busy"... poor guy behind the bar was serving everyone whilst the girl was...

Visited yesterday with friends for some lunch. Food was delicious as always and staff were so friendly

I have never experienced such an appalling, dire place in all my life. We arrived with 4 children. When we went in it was relatively quiet, apart from two extremely drunk women drinking copious jaeger shots and who were clearly taking drugs, following each other...

I'm so fussy with food but ordered a mixed grill and was lush, we came for my nieces birthday a booking of 15! All food came out nice and hot! No complaints from any us! Service was really good 👍

Went for our dinner and the atmosphere calm and relaxing. Had a great meal. We were served by a lovely young man called JP he was very helpful and polite will definitely be going back.

the Food was amazing, only a short wait times for the food, excelent service, couldn't ask for more!

I ordered the mango chicken burger expecting it to be an actual burger but instead it was a bun containing fatty grisly scraps of chicken thigh. Totally unedible. It should state in the menu that it was thigh pieces and not a chicken breast burger

Brilliant atmosphere, everyone joins in. The quiz master is lovely. The staff are so friendly. Food is always nice. Great pub, great staff, great atmosphere

Amazing staff, visited today for pints and food, Pub really clean. Suzie served us, really helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The man who brought the food was lovely also. Definitely visit again as atmosphere was very friendly

Fabulous chritmas day enjoyed by all the family food was very good and girls doing service was brilliant well done everyone.

The lady who served us was friendly and attentive, however the food was cold. Bacon on the burger was overcooked, pulled pork was sooooo salty. Chips were crispy but very greasy, onion rings were bland and tasteless. Doughnuts had zero filling and tasted slightly stale...
