The best restaurants in Stranton Hartlepool North East

Popped in for a quick lunch and the food was very nice and a good cuppa as well, The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Will be back !

Love it here. Amazing service as always. The coffee shop is part of the Huegh Battery Museum so all for charity. Hugh Battery Museum is spectacular. A great piece of Hartlepool history. Great bacon butties. Great coffee, great cakes. My dog loves it here. Especially the doggie sausage. She can try the ice cream in the summer. Only moved here late last year. This was an amazing find. Park nearby. Walk the headland then have coffee and cake. Or if early enough a bacon butties for a late breakfast. Just a shame closes December to February but will be a regular visitor at the weekends.

A very clean and friendly cafe serving breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, all at competitive prices. The food is very good, fresh, and cooked to order. A great cafe hidden in plain site on the corner of York Road and Lucan Street.

A very traditional indian, great for friends. Very reasonably priced. They have a good set menu. The location is ideal for a Hartlepool night out.

Such a lovely friendly place. Good food, good value and quick. What's not to like? Staff happy to do a Vege breakfast even though not on the menu.

For now the best place I have been to in the area. All 10.

Great atmosphere. Stephanie is such a kind funny lady. Very welcoming establishment. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the Hartlepool area.

Great little place, cocktails & live music on a Thursday and great staff

This is a hidden gem and an indicator of what could be done with what remain of some glorious old buildings in the old “shopping centre” of West Hartlepool, long since abandoned, destroyed or left to rot in favour of the what was the new (now much improved) shopping centre opposite the Grand Hotel. The Owl is warm and welcoming, over two floors. The ground floor in particular is very cosy and kind of intimate. In spite of lots of Eurofizz type lagers (sorry it’s just me: I am an ale drinker) I had an excellent Irish stout and ordered a burger, which I was told by the helpful young barman was very good. It was in fact excellent. I thought it was too much for me to eat even though I was hungry. But I paced myself and ate the lot, without feeling bloated. I also met the young chef at the bar on paying my tab and he was a self-effacing and charming young man by the name of Spencer who was grateful for my compliments on his cooking. All in all, a very pleasant experience and not at all what I expected just off the rather desolate remains of lower Church Street and the once elegant streets off it to the south. In two words: highly recommended. I have eaten in many funky little bars around the world and this is right up there. If only the elected governors of Hartlepool could learn from this place and make downtown Hartlepool a bit more like it used to be and less like a middle America drive through experience. Oh and the price was a pleasant surprise: only £24 for an excellent burger and two pints of stout.

Fantastic bar. Staff very friendly. Would definitely go again and definitely recommend it. Went for my friends 50th and the owners were so accommodating

Used this beautiful venue fir my daughter 18th birthday party 🥳 very friendly staff venue is amazing we had the best time great cocktails and nothing was a problem fir the staff x defo recommend here for any event thanks so much Out Out 💕

Really good pint of beer / Guinness

Decent breakfast!! It tasted exactly like I thought!!

Wow! First time at this gem of a place in the middle of town. A lovely space, great decor and nice and cosy. The menu is varied and extensive (which can be veganised for lots of dishes) and the food and drinks we tried were delicious. Staff were helpful and friendly and service, spot on. With takeaway available too, we'll definitely be coming back to the Big Bamboo. Supporting local business is so important and this one is highly recommended. We'll definitely be back.

1st thought! A little expensive. 2nd thought! A bit overpriced 3rd thought WOW that looks good 4th thought OMG tastes bloody amazing. The chips are outstanding, garlic oil omg amazing. 5th thought, I appologise, worth every penny and the taste is mind blowing! Absolutely can not fault anything whatsoever 🙏🙏🙏
