The best restaurants in Norton South Stockton-on-Tees North East

Lovely food overall ! asked for salmon without coriander said they couldn’t do this which is fine. Then added the salmon and the chicken to the bill even though we did not have the salmon. Lady that took the order was lovely not offered deserts just handed the bill after main and told it was bar service. Booked table for 7.30 just quite poor service for the price

Food arrived cold and soggy and over a hour late considering its supposed to be gourmet I've had better from other burger takeaways ..not worth the money go elsewhere, wife left a review on their fb page but was deleted by takeaway

A very disappointing visit. We returned our starters because no cheese or jalapeños had been added. The kitchen hadn’t even started preparing our main meals by this point - even though we were the only diners there. We cancelled our order and left. Sad experience as we’d been very much looking forward to the evening.

the service was fine, you could see the staff were attending tables and making drinks as quickly as possible, the bar itself is clean and has a good atmosphere but I would not recommend going for brunch. the brunch which cost £35 per person, includes a meal and an unlimited selection of alcoholic drinks for 90 minutes was a waste of money for me and my friends who went to Open Jar in Norton very recently. every single cocktail tasted bad and watered down, none were drinkable so we were forced to drink bottles of budwiser. the food was terrible, you could have cracked a tooth on the crispy chicken goujons that tasted like they were cooked in dish soap, the only redeeming food item were the Cajun spiced fries which were tasty. my party left open jar slightly hungry, bloated and not even tipsy. go elsewhere for quality drinks

Let me first say that first impressions were good, very welcoming although a little chilly. This was our first visit to Meat at 12, a birthday celebration. As I say first impressions were good. Alas that’s about as good as it got. Before ordering we were told that there were no pork dishes, no lamb dishes and no Oysters. That regrettably left a very limited Bistro menu, nevertheless we chose to stay and order. That we did but only to be told that yet another item, Mussells, were also off the menu. So in effect the whole event left us somewhat disappointed. To be fair though the manager did give us free drinks and was apologetic for the state of affairs stating supplier problems on the day. The food we did get was beautifully cooked and prepared but alas could not overcome that initial disappointment. We went there on a recommendation. Would we go again? Sadly I have to say probably not Norton has a number of good quality eateries all competing for a limited customer base. I understand that in the current climate restaurants can ill afford to over stock their “larders” but they must make sure that they have some sort of back up plan for events of the nature we experienced today failing which the risk is that what customer base they do have will quickly erode.

Staff extremely rude, they acted as if the didn't care. The chips appeared that they were cooked the week before. We ordered a Mccrispy with no sauce, we received it with so much sauce that when we oped the box the chicken slid out out because of the amount of sause. Never again.

Called in for a sandwich, which was £3.20. Short changed me by a pound. Check your change, robbing sods. Wouldn't be going in here anymore, I'll go to Gregg's next time.

Best pizza I’ve tried by far, everything tastes fresh and is perfectly cooked staff are polite and always happy to help and always up for a laugh even got some free food tonight

I ordered a cod in breadcrumbs, peas curry sauce, Two fritters and pickled onions. The fish was dry as a bone. The breadcrumbs just fell off. The fritters were scarcely battered. Just chunks of potato. The peas were not mushy. They were like bullets and the curry sauce was watery. The only upside were the pickled onions. Out of the jar.

1 staff working while the rest are doing just eat orders cue is out the door and none of the staff are bothered 20 mins waiting in a Cue that I walked into 4th Shocking from such a big chain something needs putting in place
