The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Karen was awesome! She was super friendly and really helpful throughout our meal. She made sure we had everything we needed and kept checking in on us. Thanks, Karen, for making our time there so enjoyable! 🌟

Una vez más una comida brillante y bebidas servidas por Dan que estaba en el lugar. 5 adultos, un niño y un niño pequeño, todos tratados de manera eficiente y profesional. Una pequeña mezcla con 1 comida tratada de manera muy rápida y eficiente. ¡Muchas gracias a todos por hacer de nuestro raro encuentro un éxito!

We visited here for a family members 90th birthday - 5 adults and 3 children. Food was brought out together and everything was as we ordered. Large portions and all tasted amazing. Even my son’s children’s meal was a decent size - he had the battered chicken goujons x3, chips and peas and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend to others and return in the future. So nice to have a local pub with great food, friendly staff and decently priced.

Room was spotless the landlord Richard was really helpful and Claire went over and above to from the time we got there until we left nothing was too much trouble for her . Definetly stay there again .

Very nice decor and fabulous staff cocktails but the foodis average. Definitely recommend for a quick drink and chat.

Always a warm welcome when we visit the travs and Sam always goes that extra mile to ensure her customer service is top notch 🤙

Basic tasty pub food, friendly staff. I had mince and dumplings and my wife had scampi and chips. Very nice, we will definitely go back next week.

Atmosphere was good but drinks are dearest in yarm.

Great service with a smile and good food Pool table available. Most people drinking there were staying over. Great parking facilities. Close to takeaway shops too. Local ALDI down the road

After the rain we received while we visited the camp, it is pleasant to enter this warm space and have something hot and visit the museum once dry and reconstituted.

Stayed one night 22nd Feb. Great little place and very friendly. Room was nice and warm and cosy. We were with my young son and were tired so unfortunately we didnt get to have a drink at the bar but we'll defintately stay again. lovely cooked breakfast in the morning by Allen. Thank you so much.

Food was delicious and nice friendly staff. However it's not the cake orientated cafe we thought it was judging by pictures we had seen on Facebook and 2x Toasties and tea was £20! Could do with a bit better smoke extraction system as it was quite smokey from the cooking.

We haven't been to The Jackdaw because our booking for April 2025 isn't being honoured we found out this morning. See below. In December 2024 we booked our meal for a Saturday night in April 2025 at The Jackdaw. It was for my 70th birthday and we chose The Jackdaw as we'd eaten there before and had lovely meals. Today I received a call from Gillian, one of the owners, to say that they had a large party that night and so they couldn't accommodate us at the time we booked.Gillian asked if we could either go the night before or for Sunday lunch. We were travelling up to Warkworth on the Friday and didn't want to rush our journey and we may well eat out on the journey up. We had other plans for the Sunday so I said no to these options. I was amazed that we were being told they wouldn't honour our booking as we had clearly booked our meal before this large party. Gillian said she would ring me back. Rupert, the other owner, called back and explained about moving furniture around for the large party and how it was for someone who'd had their 50th birthday there and now wanted their 70th birthday there. He said couldn't we eat later as they served until 9 o'clock. I was astonished at this to be honest. We didn't want to eat later than the time we booked, and possibly be on our own at that time of night in the restaurant. Rupert did apologise but that doesn't make up for the fact they haven't honoured our booking. I am left feeling really disappointed and upset. This is not what I would have expected having booked the table in December. Terrible customer service in my view.

So wanted to visit here with my aunt and cousins visiting from New Zealand and could not because you are not dog friendly. I am sure you would find dogs are better behaved than a lot of children. So disappointing

Called for Sunday lunch. Service was good. The meal was OK, it was not superb and neither was it poor. The meal was reasonably priced and they had a good choice of beers as it has a full bar, and is as much of a pub as it is a hotel and restaurant.
