The best restaurants in Elwick Hartlepool North East

Great coffee and superb service thank you

I love the chicken nugget and the chips

We visited for dinner after work and were immediately welcomed and seated. The menu was explained well and we instantly felt our custom was valued. The food portions were huge (had to take a doggy bag home, as didn’t want to waste it). The menu had varied options, without being overwhelming. Food was delicious and the servings timed well. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Popped in for a drink & made very welcome by customers & staff. Nice comfortable atmosphere.

I've been sent a £100 parking fine for pulling into their car park for breakfast, to find out they weren't open yet, and leaving within 10 minutes. This has happened to multiple people if you filter past the fake 5 star reviews. I have reported the company to the POPLA as they have clearly breached the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by enforcing unreasonable fines on people with clear intent to use the diner.

We attended the restaurant for a 21st birthday party. We had a table booked. On arrival we had to wait in the queue (which was fine) but our arrival seemed to cause confusion as the staff came 3 times asking for our name and party numbers. We were seated 10 mins late (again fine) but seated in a total separate room from the main restaurant with the atmosphere and warmth. We were put in a huge room with no atmosphere, it was cold and felt like a cheap all inclusive on holiday. It also contained a number of large families with kids, one of which was screaming for almost the whole meal (no exaggerating) not the restaurants fault but added to the disappointment. The staff were lovely and really friendly. We ordered our food for 13 people which came within 5 mins, therefore no way was it freshly cooked. I ordered burger and chips.. my chips were actually cold (not even luke warm), as were a few others…. One of the parmos was actually cold…. Another meal it took about 15 for the chips to come, so she almost finished her Parmo before these arrived… I sent my chips back and the next lot that came were dripping in fat and were definitely not fresh. My old chips appeared to have been stuck back in the fat to warm up. Overall really disappointed. Will not be returning for sure.

Called in for fuel and as we were a bit peckish bought a couple of Subways the staff were friendly ( a little bored possibly ) but the sandwiches were fine
