Anson Farm Farmhouse Inns

Cleveland

➤ 458 Linthorpe Road, TS5 6HX, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

Carte • Pub • Lunch • Drinks • Karaoke

"This pub is quite the experience. It offers a little bit of everything, literally. It may not be suitable for those easily intimidated. It may seem a bit rowdy for some, but I had a fantastic time chatting with the staff and other patrons. Definitely not a place to bring children in the evenings."

Caruso

➤ 5 Varo Terrace, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom

Carte • Wine • Cakes • Italian • Ice Cream

"Caruso is like eating in an Italian's kitchen dining room with family cooking the food. I took my tween and teenager there for the second time for my husbands and my anniversary dinner, and it was very special. The fillet and king prawns dish is the highlight of the menu (to me) and worth every pound. The parmasan of whatever version you choose is very good. The best place to eat a local classic, enjoyed by young and old. Caruso has an extensive happy hour menu and a very generous two hour slot every day. It's an all-around family favourite to dine there. Unfortunately, there are no photos this time as I was in the flow of enjoyment to remember that I could review this delight if I wanted to."

La Porto Italiano

➤ 120 Queensway, TS23 2PA, Billingham, United Kingdom

Carte • Pizza • Cafés • European • Vegetarian

"Ate at La Porto 4th May at 8:00 p.m. with two of our friends, we were really surprised when we arrived, to find that we were the only customers in the restaurant and that they had stayed open to accommodate us, at the earliest time that we could arrive due to other commitments. As usual the food and service was amazing and we didn't feel hurried in any way, given that we were the only customers. It seems such a shame that a restaurant which serves delicious food as La Porto is not supported by customers after the early evening specials finish. Hopefully the evening business will pickup for this very lovely restaurant and it's staff."

Vadah

➤ Riverside, TS18 3BB, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom

Carte • Asian • Balti • Indian • Vegetarian

"Poorest Indian meal I have ever had, hardly any taste and I don't like a hot/too spicy Indian meal. The starter was King Prawn Purée and there was hardly any prawn in it and mainly bread which was more like a tortilla wrap. The main course was Chicken Shashlik, again no taste, the chicken definitely hadn't been marinated and was also tough. I looked at all the reviews and was quite excited about trying this restaurant, never again. Even after complaining about the main course they had the ordasity to try and charge me for it!"

"We chose Persian cottage to have a private dinning upstairs for our wedding reception. This involved only immediate family and we wanted somewhere where we could enjoy amazing food and relax. Persian cottage (Mohsan) went above and beyond to make the whole experience perfect. They listened to all of our individual requests for food and allowed the florist and wedding planner to completed transform the room to make it perfect for us. They made sure they looked after everyone involved to complete the room transformation. Allowing them to arrive the day before and the morning of the wedding. Making sure they all felt at ease and had everything that they needed. They are all so kind and caring listening to everything we wanted and exceeded my expectations. They even added some of their own traditional and personal touches to finish off making this experience so unique, personal and comfortable. The food was absolutely outstanding as it always is from Persian cottage. We had a mixture of all the starters to share because how can you chose just one. They are all so amazing, authentic and home cooked like my dad makes! If you haven’t tried the starters then you need to order one of each with the bread to eat them with. Absolutely amazing! The presentation was beautiful and the attention to detail made it perfect. We all chose our own mains and I got some extra dishes for people to share everyone was so happy with their choices. Everyone commented on the authentic food and amazing flavours that we all love. The whole team made sure everything was presented amazingly and come out all together. We then had their baclava for dessert and it was amazing flavour and so fresh when eating it. Although we were all extremely full we had to get the rest boxed up to take with us. The whole day ran smoothly and was stress free thanks to the amazing team at Persian cottage. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect in every way! I would definitely recommend Persian cottage for a meal or an occasion as it never disappoints!"
