"This is my review for the Blue Stone Tea Shop in Crook I think the staff at the Blue Stone Tea Shop are so welcoming, kind and they always make you feel like you belong there. The staff are worth so much more than...just their service. If anyone is wanting a warm-welcoming feeling when they walk into a café, then this is the place for you. I highly recommend trying this place out. They cater to your needs and they are extremely welcoming and friendly staff members."

"Managed to get a table at late notice which was good. Table was small for 4 persons and dogs were allowed in which sadly for daughter was not great as she’s terrified of them. Service was fine and meal arrived quickly. The menu online is not the menu offered on a Sunday as prices are more expensive than online. (Said £6.95/7.95 and upward online) Still for £9.95 not a bad Sunday lunch price however you really don’t get a lot of food. We got one bowl of veg between 4 plenty carrots, cauliflower and cabbage but not a lot of turnip 3 spoons and it was gone. A separate bowl of mushy peas. We did not get a lot of meat and one person had only a few shredded pieces on their plate and small spoonful of mash/roasts. One large Yorkshire. Food tasted nice just don’t expect a huge portion. Desert menu was plentiful priced around £5 each. We enjoyed deserts and quite filling. Drinks reasonably priced also."

"Friendly village local pub and restaurant. Fresh food is First class and very reasonably priced with good portions of great British fayre. Place is spotlessly clean, always a smile from behind the bar from Ian, Joanne and Lee, Caroline is our favourite waitress and Sophie the chef cooks steak to perfection. A very happy welcoming place buzzing with lighthearted banter that has a special magnetism which draws you back time and time again."

"Went out with a family of drinks where okay (but no fosters on tap), ordered our meal on a quiet Saturday night at turn over time was good, but forgot one of the starters, so had to eat that alone as everyone else...had finished before that starter arrived. Then the mains came, pizzas where good to be honest, but had the risotto which was wrong when it arrived so sent back to fix, they brought another dish out completely different and then once the correct dish came out it was disgusting! It was horrible chicken, loads of raw spring onions, and I found a piece of rubber in the dish. When I mentioned this, I got... aww sorry. This was it, nothing else just take the plate away. This is on my door step and truth be told, I would rather stay at home and cook myself if this was the experience I knew I was going to have. For me, it ruined our family night out together."

"Asked to order food at 5:50 after receiving a menu at 5:00. Told they would be with us in a few minutes. 6:20 we get told that after a few tables he would be back to take our order. After taking orders of other customers after us we went inside to be told we could not be in the pub and that someone would be with us. 6:40 more orders taken after given a menu 5 minutes before. 6:45 we decided to walk out. Absolute awful service."
