The best restaurants serving British food in Stranton Hartlepool North East

Came here for a Saturday breakfast before the long drive home. Arrived around 11 and was informed of a 30min wait for which they kindly took our number and phoned us up when ready. We waited only 15 mins in the pub next door before we called back! The service, food, and experience were all top notch. The full english was served perfectly and the coffee was superbly made. The prices were good for the quality on offer. Everyone was very friendly and I'm so glad I was recommended to come here.

I don't even know where to begin with Steph & her wonderful little escape from life. When you go in, you're greeted by a warm & intimate seating area, a bar & a stage (this is where the magic happens...) - The staff there, Steph, Lauren & Hope, are all absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much! I've been to a few of Steph's mic nights & every time I've left feeling on top of the world. That banter/back & forth you can have with Steph is so refreshing, and still maintains her iconic humour that lead to her rise in Social Media fame! Drinks are beyond reasonably prices, I paid £15.90 for a whole bottle of wine & a double gin & lemonade. In York where I'm from, that'll have set you back anywhere from £30 - £40! The décor within the bar/café is very rustic & homely, giving a home from home vibe. All your hot drinks are handmade/hand frothed to perfection, and Steph has had various

I visit Hartlepool from London several times a year and always make a beeline for this lovely cafe. The staff are friendly and the coffee is delicious - they know how to make a decent espresso which isn't a given in many cafes. I recommend the gorgeous vegan chocolate sponge pudding - ask them to heat it up. Goes nicely with coffee. Thankyou to all the staff.

They have a great thing going with a quality comedy night.

Once again on a weekend visit to Hartlepool this restaurant ticks all the boxes boxes for a fine Sunday Lunch. No frills done very well and fabulous young and enthusiastic staff make it a pleasure to eat here.

Best place ever helps people fine there way Chris wood is who I am food amazing and best coffee there is and hot chocolate amazing to

Me and my husband went here on Monday 7th April 2025 and had cod and chips which was ok then we went to shop and I got quiche salad to take to work on that night and when I started to ate it I noticed the quiche was very watery and did not look nice that night I have been really poorly with holding both ends and had to take a day off work will not be back that is for sure

Fantastic experience, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delicious would definitely return again.

Cracking little spoons Win £40 on bandit haha

We were regular visitors until recently. Our last visit was terrible. We called for Saturday breakfast. Our breakfasts were thrown on the plates. Didn’t look appetising at all and didn’t taste much better. I was given a chipped cup with my pot of tea.When I complained I was told they were all chipped. We won’t be calling at The Conservatory again.

Got married here. Everything was perfect from the rooms the guests stopped in, the buffet at the wedding and all the staff were spot on.

We visited on a Sunday and the cafe was very busy, with only one member of staff front of house taking orders and making coffee / tea, serving cakes etc, so service was pretty slow. We had intended to have a snack, but nothing looked appealing, and it also looked expensive for what you got, so we just had a coffee. We love strong, robust coffee and ordered an espresso and americano, so nowhere to hide. The coffee was truly awful however - bitter and acrid; a couple of small sips and we just left it. It states that the coffee is bird life friendly and I whole heartedly commend that, we are RSPB members after all, but I don’t understand why that should compromise taste and quality. Suffice to say we’ll be taking a flask and picnic on our next visit and we went home after our walk to get a cafetière on the go. On the plus side, the young lady making the drinks was really pleasant and good humoured, despite being incredibly busy, and the design of the cafe, which overlooks the reserve is in a great location … if only the coffee was good.

Great little butty/snack shop, fab £5 deal, large barm full of filling of choice, snack & drink, much better than Subway imo, lovely, efficient, pleasant hard-working staff, would definitely visit again if in area, thank you!

Was late,, but was well worth the wait absolutely beautiful ,,
