The best restaurants serving British food in Elwick Hartlepool North East

Absolutely Outstanding – Top 3 Dining Experience Me and my girlfriend made a 35-minute drive just to try the halloumi parmo at The White Hart Inn—and it was so worth it. The parmo was absolutely delicious, and I had the smothered chicken in Stilton which was a solid 10/10. What really stood out though was the service. The owner, Nathan, served us personally. My meal came with a smaller portion of chips, and before I could even say anything, he was already back from the kitchen with extra. That kind of attentiveness and genuine care is rare. Nathan is an absolute gent, and the whole experience—from food to service—was faultless. Without a doubt, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Easily in my top 3 dining experiences. Well worth the drive and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know.

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

Great food and service. Thai red curry with prawns and Thai Penang curry

We went here to have an evening meal with friends. We ordered two hot shot parmos, a half lobster and chicken in peppercorn sauce, it doesn’t come with veg so we ordered a side order of veg which was very small portion and cost £6.95 The half lobster was the size of a Langoustine. The Parmo’s were supposed to be the same but looked completely different, one was lacking in white sauce and hardly any heat to it. The puddings were 3 x sticky toffee puddings, which appeared to be Ginger sponge with a toffee sauce on top. Finely we ordered two cokes and a coffee. The cokes were obviously from a dispenser as the CO2 cylinder must have ran out, we complained that they had no fix in the drinks, so we ordered bottles instead. My coffee arrived with a small jug of milk, I put some milk in before my wife commented on the really dirty cup, they took it away and replaced it with another one, which was obviously the same coffee as it was already white and in a chipped cup. All that cost £133.00 The restaurant was very busy but I can’t imagine why! Won’t be back
