Like most people, we have driven past Meze many times without even noticing it…read more We were encouraged to go by the excellent reviews. We are so glad we went. Small but very friendly. Seems to be room for about 18 covers. This is the first time we have sampled Turkish Meze since visiting Turkey many years ago. We started with the Sucuk Izgara (Grilled Turkish sausage) & Sigara Boregi (Fried pastry cigars filled with feta cheese). Delicious. For main we tried the Chicken Supreme & Iskender (Mixed Kebab). Again, delicious & full of flavour. You can definitely tell that everything is fresh & homemade. For 2 starters, 2 mains 2 beers & 2 glasses of white wine the bill came to just over £40. Exceptional value. This is one restaurant we will definitely be adding to our regular circuit.

We went here for a celebration dinner. I have been told that Meze is good, and have read the…read morereviews on QYPE. They were not wrong. A great selection of food. We had a sharer to start with, a big bottle of lovely red wine and a big main as well and it only came to £50 for two people. Love this place and will be back.

I love this place…read more Greek food is one of my favourites, I've spent a lot of time in Greece, and this little place (it really is dinky) owned by an English lady and her Greek husband, really do Greek food well. The menu is relatively varied, of course with all the classics. I've visited a few times now, and it is probably the best Greek food I've had not adjacent to the Aegean. The decor is cute, and if you don't face the large glass front, you can, fairly well, pretend you're in a little Greek taverna instead of the not so glamourous Stockton On Tees (no offence, I just really love Greece). The baklava is also completely gorgeous, not a pathetic soggy attempt you often get in this country.

Excellent, very authentic tasting food. Takes us straight back to our visits abroad…read more Highly recommended.

We were out for a drive around Blyth and Whitley Bay during the recent good weather and we found…read morethis gem quite by accident! We love Greek food and always keep an eye out for a 'taverna' wherever we go. We were not disappointed with Pronto! The food was excellent, authentic and there was plenty of it! Be careful not to overdo it on the homemade, pizza-style pitta bread with your starters - it's sooo good but very filling! (Cooked in a wood oven!) For the main course I had the youvetsi (beef with pasta) and my husband had the soutsoukakia (kind of like meatballs in a tomato sauce) - both absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive but not intrusive. They even let me practice my Greek on them!! Just a shame they are a long drive from where we live - we would definitely become regulars!! Would highly recommend. Thank you or should I say euxaristoume. (Sorry it won't print it in Greek letters!)

Roast pepper soup on a windy & rainy afternoon was just what the doctor ordered. Chicken caesar…read moresalad was nice too, yet they forgot anchovies. The service was rather rude. When our card was rejected, they acted as if we didn't have money and wanted to run away -- didn't like that attitude *at all*. Also, the atmosphere of the place is a bit confusing - it's new, and on the 1st floor they have glass walls looking out to the street - which looked fantastic, but I left feeling confused... is it a hip new place in Lake District, or is this an old place pretending to be hip?

The rules of a good service is not only to take your order and bring it out but also check on you…read moreafter your first bite, and to check on you in a middle of your meal to refill your drinks. This place lacks of all steps but the ordering and brining it out. When I wanted something I had to yell out the waitress who was busy chatting with other staff behind the counter. We were done with tea and nobody checked on us. I wanted Tabasco for my soup there were nobody to ask for it Same for the freshly ground pepper. Food is okay. Nothing special. If you are here for a quick pit stop this place is okay.

I always travel to Penrith to eat here as they do the best Spanish food. The decor is really…read moreauthentic and it makes you feel like you are in Spain! We always have a plate of grilled prawns and paella for two, which comes in a big pan and is left beside the table. The staff are lovely and really helpful. We also like the jugs of sangria and none of it is badly priced. Definitely worth the trip out.

Great little hidden gem. Staff are friendly, great atmosphere. The food tastes great and is fresh…read more A great place to come and eat if in the area.
