The best restaurants in Stockton-on-Tees North East

Looking for somewhere to eat as got lost heading to Yarm. Ages 86, 82, 68 and 40 and came across The Manor House. It has disabled parking near entrance and a couple of shallow steps to entrance. Wheelchair friendly. The pub itself is huge and we're few in it but started to fill up after we ordered. It has a very large and well set out eating/drinking lounge with very comfortable armchairs which are easy for elderly to get out of plus bonkets and traditional chairs. There is a large traditional bar area at the far end. There are toilets in both sections. It is spotlessly clean as are the toilets and the Gents has an unusual tiled entrance. We ordered fish and chips, 2 large burger meals with chips, salad, coleslaw and huge onion rings in batter and a scampi and chips with mushy peas (or curry) and tartar sauce. Neither could finish the burger meals - they were huge. The small size scampi was actually a normal size meal. All of the food was tasty and well presented, it's not cheap but was worth the cost. The barman took our drinks, then food order at the table and was very friendly and polite. It has a Christmas Menu which includes Traditional menu Vegetarian and/or Vegan menu ? Gluten free menu. Children's menu. Would we go back there - ABSOLUTELY.

Above and beyond service to four, needy teaching staff, two weeks in, we're already running on empty. Clean and tidy, plus we managed to get our usual table, which was brilliant! Staff checked on us, to see if everything was good, which it was. A great way to recharge after a full on week!

Called in tonight only got fried rice not the best no egg in it sticky and not the best by far

Fantastic and one of my favourite local takeaway 😋

Had a family takeaway on Thursday, the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable, we will definitely use it again

Very weird. Had a phone call from this business. Answered it to hear deliberate heavy breathing down the phone. It was then hung up rather quickly when I said hello so I called back and enquired about the call to be told no one had called me from the number in a manner that suggested I was lying. The weirdest thing is I don't even live anywhere close to the area this company is based in. In fact I'm half way down the country.

Been here a few times but today… omg what went wrong?? My friend and I ordered the steak and venison pie and the chicken and pancetta pie for lunch. Meals came, mash had an old warmed up look to it, and the pies were BOTH STONE COLD inside! I spoke to the staff who said they’d get it sorted for us and removed the meals. I was horrified that both these meat dishes were clearly not cooked anywhere near properly. Because of this, I decided I was not happy to stay and eat here. I explained this and asked for a refund, which I got without any issue. (Someone else was complaining about their food too whilst I went to the bar. ) I was thoroughly disappointed as I’ve had nice food here before but this experience has put me off coming back. Not at all acceptable for a food establishment. I had spoke highly of your pub to my friend and felt like this experience spoilt our day. I felt it was more of a food hygiene / health and safety issue than “- oh we’ll get that sorted for you!”

First time here , place didn't seem the cleanest but I was recommend the place so gave it a go. The chicken was uncooked and had a vinegar after taste chicken without the sauce. I took the parmo back and got part of my money back would never visit here again cooked ok too which is disappointing

Lovely little friendly pub with really nice food. Has a beautiful little beer garden out the back too. Staff were warm and welcoming, will definitely be back

Service was extremely slow, it wasn’t very busy either, half the drinks were kept elsewhere! The noise level was unbearable, music on high volume, so customers had to shout and screech to make themselves heard, and no soft furnishings to deaden the sound. It was a relief to leave.

Food was absolutely delicious, stuffed crust pizza was amazing

Friendly delivery driver , great food . Always arrive very hot

Not good for people with ptsd, noises of bells ,machines,shouting of staff waiting over 20 mins for two teas only,

Quality of food was very disappointing. How can they get curry/rice and chips so wrong? Chips appeared to have been reheated many times and rice stodgy, one star given as curry sauce was okay. Very disappointed customer.
