The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Called for Sundsy lunch. Ordered I beef dinner and 1 lamb. Excellent dinners. Plenty of meat plus a extra jug of gravy. We have been calling here often and have never been disappointed.

Nearest pub to our accomodation, spent several evenings here chatting with the locals and enjoying local ales. We had the pie off the day (steak and ale) one evening and it was delicious. Definitely more steak than you usually get in a pie. Had to have several more drinks before heading home else we would have needed a push up the hills!! Nice little corner with local products in the coffee shop area, cakes looked rather tasty but we were only in of the evenings.

Myself and my husband visted yesterday with our two dogs. Lovely old school house with Falstone history to read about. Delicious cakes and coffee and a nice chat with the owner. Extremely dog friendly with lots of space and the dogs each got a biscuit ☺️👌

Excellent srvice and lovely lunch (I had roast lamb). Other dishes were good as well by the family...................

We were greeted immediately by friendly waiting staff who asked if we need a high chair or help with the buggy. They showed us to a table and were really helpful and patient. The sandwiches, scones and coffees we ordered were all delicious and well-priced. The manager even came over came to check that my husband didn’t want his sandwich toasted! Such a beautiful cafe with wonderful food and staff.

This is a review of the Christmas Day lunch. We did not stay at the hotel. Firstly, the entrance and the fabulous building are very beautiful. What an impressive place Guisborough Hall is. We were warmly welcomed, the beautiful lounges were very busy but we found some good seating. At the appointed time we were taken through to a small but lovely dining room, (guests staying had their own large lounge. The serving staff were friendly and even though some had not had much training they gave good service. We were brought some excellent bread, then our starters. The two having trio of melon got a very small portion, the two who ordered the molten Camembert got a much more substantial portion. The Croque Messure (sp!) was very nice but the Camembert was not molten. The main course of Turkey was the worst Christmas meal I have ever had. The plates were cold, the chefs had poured a lot of gravy on the plates which caused some spilling on to the table cloth. The Turkey (from a loaf) was ok but all the meat and vegetables were just warm. This is not acceptable. As for the Christmas pudding. Again everything was only just warm, the pudding had a crust and the brandy sauce didn’t taste of brandy plus there was not much of it! Even the after dinner coffee wasn’t hot. All in all, apart from the building and setting it was a very disappointing and very expensive mistake.

Called in for breakfast with friends at the weekend. Menu was as expected, providing all of the usual options. We’re quite a discerning bunch and not afraid to offer polite comment if things aren’t as expected. The first indicator of a quality breakfast is the attitude of the waiting staff. This was excellent with attention to every detail which we threw into the mix. Second indicator is the quality of sausage and bacon. No supermarket bargain basement sausage here. Full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Bacon was the same. Cooked perfectly, no white stuff from cheap vacuum packed brands which are laden with water. Presentation: served on hot plates and nicely laid out. Not slapped on the plate without any care or pride. Tea was served in a pot and was full flavour. Overall an excellent breakfast although one of us had a cup of coffee which our friend suggested could have been a bit stronger. Then again he’s a bit of a fuss pot and the staff did listen when he made polite comment about his preferred strength of brew! Definitely will return and definitely recommend.

The landlord was abusive to both my wife and kids think U have other reasons and complaints about this location , U was rude and accresive,

Sunday lunch for mothers day & wow , everyone in our party loved it . The ambience of the venue , the relaxed casual atmosphere & most of all the food were all faultless . Our group of 5 adults & 1 Bambino had 3 roast beef lunches & 2 had the cod fish goujons . No complaints at all & 5 clean plates , with plenty accompanying veg ( mange tout , cauliflower cheese etc ) left because everyone could not eat another morsel . Thank you to the waitress & front of house team & most of all to the kitchen staff & chef's for quality brilliant food . Will we be back ? , Hell yes .

Lovely pub but really disappointed by the female member of staff serving who blatantly ignored us waiting patiently at the bar and deliberately served others who clearly arrived after us. Poor attitude and the pub deserves better quality of staff than this. Walked out and went to Tin of Sardines down the road - proper and fair service....

Fabulous meat pies, take away, crammed full of beef, proper pie, rarely found these days, pastry top and bottom, delicious!!

We visited for a lunch as part of a weekend away to the Embassy. Wow!! If you want a calm relaxed atmosphere where the food is very good quality for a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. Dietary preferences is catered for without any fuss. Fast friendly service adds to the experience. We will be returning here.

Lunch today, nice and quiet as 11 45 , so not many in and meals good portions staff very friendly and obliging as requested extra serviettes. Prices good only one problem salt was wet but would still go back as I use too much salt anyway and I could have asked for another salt seller. Have 6friends who lunch for each other’s birthdays so will suggest going here.

Called in on spec to celebrate a 89th birthday celebration Never been in this pub before but will definitely be going back. The staff were very genuine and friendly, the prices were very reasonable with a good choice of home made food. The place was quite busy for a Wednesday lunch time but we were served in good time and we all enjoyed our selection. Good choice of beers including one of my favourites Tetleys smooth…. Would definitely recommend this little gem
