The best restaurants in Lockwood Redcar and Cleveland North East

My husband found this place and knew I would like it. He was right. The people were really welcoming and the atmosphere very friendly. Everything we had was lovely and I especially enjoyed their scone of the day which was date and plum - it was delicious and I was lucky that they had one I could buy to take home with me. Definitely recommend going here.

This is an old established pub serving food. Busy on a Sunday and needed to book a table. Food was average, although plenty of it, although extra gravy was (I think) £1.50 for a small jug. Slightly let down by poor staff, with the exception of the lady with the plaster cast on her wrist. Generally too young and inexperienced. One didn't know the difference between a lager and an ale. And another was surly when asked why she had topped up a G & T full to the top of the glass with tonic, without first asking how much we required

We had heard nothing but bad reports about the tavern from friend and family that have been but thought we would check it out for our selves . All I can say is disgusting .everything we asked for off the menu we had to pick something else because they had ran out so two of us had fish and chips for main . As they own the fish and chip shop over the road which is very good I thought it would be a good choice. How wrong could you be the fish was so well done the batter was rock hard and the fish inside had shrivelled up to nothing . And the chips were burned . The other two in my party got the mixed grill that wasn’t much better. Over cooked and everything on the plate tasted of liver . Won’t be going again . Could be really nice because a lot has been spent on the place but they need a decent chef . Or employ a chef instead of bar staff doing the cooking .

Been coming here for a few years now and had no complaints. But the last twice we have called it was the worst fish and chips we have ever had . They had just fried some fresh chips but they were hard and scrappy . The fish or lack of fish was very rubbery and there was more chewy batter than fish . Will not be calling there for a while . Don’t know what has happened as we always recommend this fish shop .
