The best restaurants serving British food in Middlesbrough North East

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Mark and his wife from Foodies for providing a fabulous hot food buffet for my partner and his aunts joint birthday party just before Christmas. From initial contact Mark was amazing with helping with concerns and every aspect of the service I have to say was excellent. We had many compliments on the food and will definitely be using Foodies in the future. Keep up the good work. Thanks again Allison & Wayne😀

Three of us went to Pie Jackers before a Boro home game. We were greeted by friendly staff. They offered a range of locally sourced home made pies with mash and mushy peas. Two of us had game pie - a special of the day and our friend had chicken. Excellent food and supplemented by some interesting local ales. Great value! We are certainly going back.

Good coffee, food and very friendly.

Fantastisk mat. Andeconfit var utsøkt og vinene meget gode. Forretten av fisk likeså. Erketypisk engelsk dessert av kastanjenøtter, brandy og fløte ga en super avslutning. Klart det beste måltidet i Middlesbrough

Very friendly service and food was lovely perfect poached eggs

Fresh , tasty and served exquisitely. I've visited here several times and it's a beacon of quality and charm in amongst the over priced coffee chains and ' caffs' in the town centre centre. I had the mashed avocado with poached eggs . The bread was fresh and top quality and the avocado was fresh and generously prese.ted with two perfect poached eggs . The balsamic swirls and chilli flakes set it all off perfectly .

Two course lunch gifted to us as an anniversary present. Arrived on time, no one there to greet us for five minutes. Lunch was nice especially the starter. Unfortunately there wasn’t much atmosphere, though I think that was because it was early 12.30.

The place itself seems nice enough - a good aesthetic that screams rock n'roll. However, the online presence really lets the place down. "Book a Table" says the website. I booked a table. Only to receive an email saying I didn't need to. When we arrived, two tables were marked "Reserved". Based on information found on the various online sources we could find, my other half (looking to celebrate her birthday), chose SF having seen "a selection of grilled cheese sandwiches", and offers on a "range of cocktails". The evening got off to a poor start when we got to the bar, and the only two non-lager/cider options on the draught drinks were both out of stock. Undeterred, we asked for one of the "range of cocktails", only to be told they were not doing cocktails. Undeterred, we finally found (barely) suitable beverages and found a table. We waited for the menu, and were disappointed to find it was much smaller than the online presence had led us to believe. Calling over one of the staff, we were told "We don't do those anymore". When we pointed out that this really should be updated online, we got "Yeah, its all changing". At which point we left to go home. Where we could enjoy drinks we wanted, and the full array of delights available from local takeaways. One word of advice - if you promise burger and chips, and deliver burger and chips, I'm happy. But if I visit on the basis of online information, and you don't have what you've marketed, I'm going to be elsewhere.

Lovely staff food was delicious very welcoming will definitely be back again to try different food and maybe a dessert.

Found by chance and what a pleasant surprise. Lovely inside. Velvet classy comfy chairs. Nice ambience. Staff lovely. Filo pastry brocolli and cheese slices served on gorgious plates and good coffee too. Pity our trips into Middlesbrough are limited tbese days.

We had searched for a nice family friendly pub whilst staying in the centre for the weekend. We wish we had found it earlier. The staff were so friendly, the food fantastic and everything reasonably priced.

We wanted breakfast before a visit to Ormsby Hall nearby. This little cafe fitted the bill perfectly. Nice staff, food served quickly. At very reasonable prices. Perfect baked beans and black pudding. While we were there a customer asked for a black pudding tomato, egg, mushrooms fried onion and cheese sandwich!! They happily obliged!!

We are a family of seven. The breakfast was amazing and staff were too. What a find can’t recommend this cafe enough Thank you

Only went on lounge so can't comment on big room but what I encountered was smashing. Very nicely set out and extremely pleasant place. Excellent service and very efficient staff.

We had breakfast here one morning. Being with young children unfortunately their preference was for McDonalds!! There is no self service buffet during this time, but breakfast was cooked to order and served at our table. Bread was individuallly wrapped and we could toast it ourselves and tea/coffer was self service, There was a one way system marked out round the restaurant.
