The best restaurants in St Hilda Hartlepool North East

Used to come here all the time with my Mam before she sadly passed away 5 years ago , we used to come on a Saturday , since then to keep my Mams lovely memory alive i have been back on many occasions as this is not just a normal cafe it has a hidden secret - EXCEPTIONAL THAI FOOD , usually one dish a day and differs every day just look on the specials board , something like this is a hidden gem and the service is always fast and friendly , the owner wouldnt hold it against me if i said she was a bit loud lol but thats just her way - a very friendly soul and this place is very popular with locals and shopkeepers who order their Thai food as a Takeaway. I love Thai food at the best of time but to find a place that serves it at lunchtime is very very rare , and as i said the quality is superb , ive never been to Thailand but ive eaten in many posh Thai restaurants and the quality of food matches and beats all of them. Keep up the fantastic work to the owner and all your staff. See you soon.

Both the the crema and the hot shot I have had were divine, the balance of the flavours really coming through. Highly recommended.

Absolute gem of a place! The food is so incredible! Their “posh” chips are out of this world and their belly pork is stunning!! The smell of the fire fills the surrounding area (and smells great!) The guys absolutely beam with enthusiasm and pride and are so friendly! Quickly becoming a regular treat in our household and very lucky to have it in our area!

Pure chance we called in here during dog walk combined with pub crawl around headland. What a great surprise and find. Staff were absolutely brilliant friendly and amazing. We all ordered food which you know was cooked to order as it was fresher than fresh. The half cod and chips was ordered by two people and it was perfectly cooked with the most amazing home cut and fried chips (none of Yr skinny fries these were big proper chips). The batter on the fish was nicely crispy and not soggy. I ordered a parmo which was delicious came with chips and salad as it was so nice I devoured it like there was no tomorrow. One toasties was ordered and yet again was delicious. Finally a chicken fajita was brought out and so tasty it didn't last long. We all had drinks and all commented on how overall the service was great friendly and couldn't ask for more. All so competitively priced we will be returning Thank you all at the Victoria Arms

Lovely cafe and staff. Will definitely be back. Thank you to the lovely lady who realised my friend had left their bag and kindly kept it safe.

Have had some deliveries from here now, and it never disappoints. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the chips taste like actual chips, which is sadly a rarity.

Look its just what it says on the tin a cafe with a difference right next to the war museum

Wow love this pub Scooby and Ruby felt very much at home, with lots of treats and cuddles

Great place.. fabulous views. Just had Sunday lunch, really nice, well cooked and the staff were excellent.. very friendly.

Wow what a place. Very well priced food and very good portion size and value for money. Been here loads for breakfast so decided to try lunch menu. Fish and Chips Steak and Ale Pie Baguette All of us loved our lunch and everything was spot on. Going to try the Parmo next time.

Always a pleasant visit and the food is exceptional

Food good friendly staff nice place to eat

Got to be the best chippy in the Northeast

If you want consistently good food, coffee, and beer, this is a great place. However, the service is terrible, unlike before. Before, it was quick and attentive. Now, it's non-existent to the point that the staff actually avoids eye contact. It's normal on any day to have to leave your seat to order additional drinks or food. If you sit and watch, you will see this happen over and over. Come on, owners, look around and sort this out. You have a great business.

Lovely breakfast today at Biancos. Both of us ordered the easy breakfast. Great customer service as always. Special mention to Claire for making the best coffee I've had all week!
