The best restaurants serving British food in Elwick Hartlepool North East

Chicken parmo with blue cheese was awsome garlic dip was strong just how I like it

Arrived at 2:50pm chose the bar area instead of the lounge, was immediately asked if we wanted a drink or food. We said we would have a drink and maybe food if we could have the menu. The waitress said, “Oh, no more food orders.” So we thought, “OK, we will just have a drink and go somewhere else.” 10 minutes later, a couple wandered in, and a different waitress approached them and ushered them to a table and began dressing the table ready for food. We asked this waitress, “Is there food available?” She said, “Yeah, it’s a Sunday dinner!!! Not sure the first waitress knew what day of the week it was, but one thing for certain is we will never go back, I’m afraid.” Sad really, as we drove all the way here from Middlesbrough. Not the best to be honest, another thing there was a large crowd of what must have been locals crowded around the tiny bar who were really loud and instead of chatting to themselves they were really audible above everything else so glad really we only stayed for a drink.

Popped in for a drink & made very welcome by customers & staff. Nice comfortable atmosphere.

Shocking food. Food was submerged in grease, 98% cheese, chicken was slimy, tasted like a frozen microwave meal. Staff didn’t know what was going on. The only good part of the meal was the fact I didn’t have to pay for the monstrosity.
