The best restaurants serving British food in Northern Parishes Stockton-on-Tees North East

called in for lunch while staying at the hotel food was very good and nice surrounding they were due to close but kept the restaurant open so we could have lunch thank you

The Vane Arms is now doing breakfasts - and what a treat is was. We had the small breakfast which had everything you could want on a full English. The food was excellent quality, all cooked nicely, served hot and well presented. You can even specify how you want your eggs (we opted for fried). Best breakfast we have had in ages. Service was excellent too. This wasn’t our first visit and it won’t be our last.

Popped in for lunch had hot roast sandwich with gravy. Was really nice would definitely go back. Friendly staff beautiful views of the golf course

Food good pub grub OK to watch sport

Upon entering we were told to enter our number plate to which we said we took a taxi (we were going to drink) She scoffed at us and said to the other member of staff “challenge 25” None of us look remotely 25 so took no ID, to which we couldn’t be served alcohol. This was a rare event seeing family that live far away and it put a real damper on things. Rest of the staff were lovely but that one overweight old lady at the front desk was so rude and condescending I couldn’t believe it. I won’t be returning

Our visit was for a very important anniversary and although the initial greeting was friendly it was downhill after that. Ten minutes after arriving we were finally asked if we wanted a drink, another ten minutes and wrong drinks appeared, the reason given was they were busy although there were still empty tables. The menu was surprisingly limiting, more a lunchtime than dinner but I picked the burger and my wife had sea bream. The burger was ok but only came with fries, no salad just a teaspoon full of dreadful so called coleslaw. My wife’s fish was appalling, tiniest fillet with one new potato cut into four, she asked for more potatoes and by the time they arrived we had finished our meal. We spoke to the young lady head waiter who said they were busy and that the portions were normal before reluctantly taking a small amount off the bill. Big disappointment for our golden anniversary, we will not be coming back.

This was a pre booked mothers Day meal table for 9 for 12 o clock, and after going here last year, for the exact same special day, our expectations I'm not gonna lie were high. Unfortunately, we felt let down as the meal was poor at best. I personally was going to order a chicken parmo, but they had sold out ? It's very strange, but you roll with the punches, so I got a beef dinner . I hate to do this, but it was just not good. Beef was not nice, quite tough, and chewy. Veg was cold, and hardly any gravy we did order more gravy but overall very disappointed with experience . Burgers and chips are also not the best. Thus, it was not a cheap meal, so I must state how disappointed and let down we feel sorry would not recommend here. Staff were lovely shame about food as this was a family occasion organised by brother in law .

My self and two friends go to The Wolviston Toby every week now .it gives us the opportunity to keep in touch with each other we have never had a bad meal yet . So obviously we keep returning And always made to feel welcome by all the carvery and floor staff .There is many other restaurants in the area but we chose Wolviston Carvery Also because very good value for money.

Had an excellent meal at the Hamilton Russell Arms. There was a wide choice on the menu. I had the chicken stir fry with steamed rice and it was full of flavour and delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. I would definitely go back. Highly recommend this restaurant.
