Places to eat around Middlesbrough

[pete_tvr]

Can people recommend some decent eats within about 20 miles of Middlesbrough, can be any type of food, trying to keep away from palces like Joe Rigatoni's etc....

Cheers

Two of my favourite locals, both offering very good food in relaxed surroundings and within 15mins of Middlesbrough

http://www.thetreebridgehotel.co.uk/

http://www.wainstoneshotel.co.uk/

Nearly forgot... http://www.threetunsrestaurant.co.uk/ also very good.

HTH.

Black Horse at Swainby is good and a nice drive out too. Depends what you want, I like Yarm, but might be a bit too 'Joe Rigatoni' for you.

Judges at Kirklevington.

Lion at Blakey if you fancy a half-hour drive each end of your meal... worth it though.

Places to eat around Middlesbrough:

Indian - Bengal Spices 15 Station Rd Redcar
Best Indian on Teeside IMO

Bar meals - Ship in Saltburn pretty good and also Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge pretty good.

Fancy French steak house:
McCoys in Yarm, 44 High Street.
Excellent food and wine.

The Grill Saltburn
Station Road
Excellent food and wine.

Please let me know what you think if you try any.

Don't know many restaurants but for 'gastropub' food the Golden Lion in Osmotherley is very reliable, if a little cramped sometimes. The menu at Three Tuns opposite looks good too but I've never tried it.

Is Joplin's in Great Ayton any good these days? My mam keeps trying to get me to take her there

Another pub I used to really like is the Bay Horse in Hutton Rudby, but it's gone off the boil lately judging by the sunday lunch I had last week Even then, it's a damn sight easier getting decent pub grub near the Boro than it is near Newcastle!

Shame about the Bay horse then, it was one of my favorites

Only *just* within 20 minutes of Middlesbrough would be the Dudley Arms at Great Broughton - if you like steak then it doesnt get much better. Beer is excellent too, I always seem to get well pissed there.

Crathorne Arms would also be top of the list but you need to book a few days in advance usually.

• edit doh - the dudley is at ingleby greenhow

The Ship at Low Worsall gets my vote, Sunday dinner is brilliant, best booking to avoid disappointment though

It wasn't awful or anything, and I'd go back to see if it was just a glitch, but to be honest it's never been as good as it was 4 or 5 years ago. The other day we had cold plates that chilled the meat off, though the meat itself was good. Generic flavourless gravy (what happened to the the Shrewsbury sauce that used to accompany the lamb?). Poor roasties. Overall a bit mediocre, and poor value at £9 for a main. Desserts were good though.

And I have to say, the manager hasn't lost his eye for serving staff

Totally agree, however its now been bought and taken over by Joe Rigatoni's... such a shame as it was my favourite eating place in Yarm.

Indian Cottage in Guisborough mentioned THE BEST Indian for miles IMO.

Good point!

Also there is another pub in Great Broughton that isn't too shabby on the catering front: just up from and opposite the Wainstones Hotel... we had the first ever NEPH meet there way back when!
As an aside, I got married at the Wainstones seven years ago this coming Saturday...

[dpr59]

The Y Thai in Stokesley is good.

As someone already said for a real nice place, Judges.

C - still not sure but the TVR`s and Nobles are both still apealing. think I may need to do some learning about rear wheel drives so may first go for a Caterham or Westie in the interim as the Porsche was a C4 and prior to that I was driving front wheel diesels.

Is anyone going to this meet on a bike or would bikes be welcome?
