I recently had a vegetarian meal at The Blue Bell. Being a Sunday, my two friends opted for the traditional Sunday meal. I was given a choice of vegetarian meals which was a nice change for a pub meal. The service was excellent and the food was prompt and hot and served with a smile. Best of all it was absolutely delicious! My vegetarian option was a savoury bread and butter pudding with a cheese sauce, served with scrumptious mashed potatoes and a variety of vegetables. It was clearly homemade and made with pride. My friends were equally as impressed with their meals. Another nice plus, was not paying ridiculously high prices for drinks. I’ll definitely be going back!

food bland and tasteless. wouldn't recommend this place at all. service appalling. staff ignorant and the landlady "joyce" needs to learn some customer skills- she is very rude to both staff and customers alike! I remember the good old days ( 2 years ago) when at least the food was good!

NOW SPORTING LODGE: - Disgusted ! My husband and I stayed here only one night (it was like sleeping in a university dorm) anyway the food - Well my husband is allergic to fish and poultry i.e physically sick if digested; doesn't like salad; veg; mushrooms very much at all; texture of steak/joints of meat so the only thing on the menu he could eat was steak and mushroom pie!!!!! No pasta, lasagne, burgers etc on menu so was stuck!! when meal came I had jacket potato and house salad ( which turned out to be a @side sald or garnish!! - two bits of lettuce 2 slices of onion 1/2 a tomato and 2 cubes of cucumber) the potato wasn't cooked and there were 4 bits of steak in the pie not that he would/could eat them anyway - it came on a massive plate with a saucer sized helping of chips which were burnt. All in all revolting!"!

I would like to stress my opinion about the shocking standard of food and service i recieved whilst dining in the restaurant. To start with the food standards are becoming appalling, the sizes are small, undercooked and didnt look appetising,it has been so much better than its current standards. we were told that we were not allowed brunch menu at 1230, as it was the main menu only and that lunch menu was not available, even though in other frankie and bennys it is all the time even during the holidays. i heard numerous comments about what i think was a manager which were not pleasent to hear from a group of staff standing around the till area and one of the them swore repeatedly, she was a small girl with black bobbed hair. other than that the manager seemed really nice but the experience was spoilt and i have to say i will not be returning again.

Situated in the village of Norton, Cafe Lilli consistently provides a varied clientele with delicious food (from coffee and homemade cakes to refresh shoppers to a multi-course candlelit dinner celebration.) Ingredients are always of the finest and simply cooked with flair. When full, the restaurant hums with a happy buzz.... but you'll have to get there early, as they don't take bookings!

fabulous homer chips and the steak gravy pie was the best since "upex". The whole menu from starters to desserts could not be faulted.

I came to Frankie & Benny's with my family on Tuesday 24th April it was my mums birthday and knew that they did surprise cakes with music and balloons. We ate off the main menu as it was around 7o'clock and had starters, mains then desserts. the starters were delicious served fast looked great, i think it was the manager who brought them over a young man who was very polite and funny, (my mum took a shine to him). the mains were delivered quickly after the starters were cleared by our waitress and again were fresh and looked great. our cake was delivered to the sound of happy birthday, dimmed lights and lots of clapping which was great to see as everyone joined in. i noticed it was quite busy and i must say all the staff were working so hard but it never made a difference to the service at all both managers were heavily involved and you don? see that much, i would like to thank all the staff working that evening as it was great!!!!

The food is well prepared - and ample amounts. Wonderful home made chips and a huge selection on the menu. The staff are very good and helpful.

It was supreme.... The food was mouth watering, the service was incredible, the surroundings were breath taking, The best part was all of it but i especially liked the borge special for pudding!! Thanks Borge for making my 10th birthday one to remember!!

I was one of the first people to eat here when it first opened and now it's a struggle trying to get a table even on a week night...enough said! Wonderful place!

I really liked the food here, there is plenty to choose from to suit all tastes. It's not very expensive and sometimes there is a lunch menu on at a cheaper price for set dishes but they only put it on when its not busy which isn? very fair. Cocktails were a treat and the bar staff are trained well on how to make them. Overall a nice experience but I don't think I?e been there when there hasn't been a birthday song!

£8.99 for all you can eat but it's all cooked fresh for you!!! Amazing!!! There are so many choices as well, and most of them are traditional chinese dishes rather than the same stuff you get from a take-away. The price included; soup, appetiser, main dish and noodle or rice side dish. Reasonable wine list for price and variety. 1st class service from staff, very friendly and efficient. My fiancee and I loved it!

A veggie heaven in a the Teesside veggie desert. Been going years but has improved over the last couple of years. Sadly no longer BYO and doesn't do the combo main courses but I would recommend it to any veggie or non-veggie.

a very nice place to eat.

Great Place, Great Fun, Great Food.

I enjoyed eating at this restaurant very nice food I liked the potato skins

If you like Greek food (and even if you don?!) you will love Kaminaki. The food is superb and as good if not better than any I have eaten in Greece. The staff are very welcoming and always look after you. This restaurant is now my favourite place to eat and the prices are amazingly cheap for such excellent quality food. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, food is fantastic, everything 5 stars
