We all ordered food and it arrived about 30 mins later. I had the Stainton chicken and the chicken was really moist and the prawns tasted fresh. The sauce on top was a nice creamy tomato sauce that I would be happy to have any day! Had some fudge cake for dessert which was ok. Really nice atmosphere and great food. Would be happy to come here again.

This is a pleasant little village pub, in the heart of Stainton, which is a little village in…read moreMiddlesbrough. The pub is pretty much the centre of the village, just round the corner from the village shop and post office. From the outside, it looks really pretty with hanging flower baskets all along the front etc. It also has a convenient little car park at the side, and a bigger one at the back, hidden from view. Inside, it's very nice, too. It has a cosy sort of atmosphere, and feels really comfortable. A great place for a drink or a meal in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Sometimes, in the summer, they use the car park at the back for various village events, which spill into the pub. It's basically a village pub, but you do get people from surrounding areas in there quite a lot, not just the people who live int he village, so it can get quite busy at times.

I used to be a regular at this establishment and still go now but not quite as often as I used to,…read more THE GOOD POINTS Food reasonably priced and tasty. Drinks reasonably priced too and not a bad pint. Reasonable decor. THE BAD POINTS. Can get very busy especially on a weekend and it's quite hard to get served sometimes. Toilets are disgusting the floor is generally covered in urine(the Gents at least). Some of the staff seem to have a bit of attitude, however some of the members of staff are really pleasant. SUMMARY. I still go to this establishment because frankly it's a cheap pint and quite a good pint too!

A big bold pub which stand pretty much on the main crossroads in Marton/Nunthorpe area. It's also…read moreright next to the Tesco Garage. This pub is always full, I've never known it to be empty except maybe some Sunday early afternoons when theres no football match on. Anyway as far as pubs go as its quite central in Marton, its a big gathering point as theres lots of houses nearby. Most days its full of groups of older adults and on nights there are a few younger adults gathering before they head into town. The pub has indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating is pretty nice in summer but theres not much of it so you have to grab a table quick. The pub serves nice meals, not sure what time until but they have deals on like 2 for 1 with certain deals. We've also been for Sunday lunch which is really nice. It's a really open pub with some corners you can hide away in if you want (like me who goes to watch the football and doesn't really support it so I just sit in the corner and pretend to know what I'm on about). Also, there's an Itbox! Oo but it's always taken so you have to pounce if you want it and for those of you who've never experienced the wonderful addictiveness of the Itbox, find a pub, whack in your 50p and give it a shot, I can guarantee you'll have spent at least £6 and fallen out with at least one friend by the time you've finished and still want another go ha ha. There are also some fruit machines next door to the Itbox. As far as prices go, it's not too bad, but not exactly cheap either. The pub is a big open plan room with the bar in the middle.

This is a good old fashioned pub just off Acklam Rd in the Boro. On the day I was in the barmaid…read morewas on fine form cajoling the customers and generally having some good banter. It is fair to say the clientele is mixed (read into that what you may) however on a hot summer's day this is a really popular venue. If you are on your own, don't panic as the customers were very friendly and this struck me as an easy place to pass an hour and have a good laugh as the world goes by. The beer was good, although like all Sam Smiths pubs not a lot of choice. That said; the beer was really very nice and exceptional value for money (I got charged just over £3 for a pint of bitter and a pint of lager). There are a few tables outside for those who fancy enjoying the Middlesbrough air. Inside, it's a typical Northern Pub. As far as I could tell there were no juke boxes, sky TV or any other distractions to take you away from the ale. I think I have found my second home..
