Hamilton Russell Arms - Middlesbrough

I met a few friends to lunch today, who we haven't seen for ever. greeted by the employees as soon as we went through the door. they gave us a lot of time to watch the menu. I had a brisket back with cloby chips and gravy. it was nice that the brisket just melted in my mouth and the chips for dying. we were sitting almost 3 hours. it was a great start in beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful hike to thorpe that is a lunch. I tried the parmo plate that was fantastic with cloby chips. other meal times also saw beautiful and good size fractions. the personal is beautiful and very attentive. massive bonus is that dogs are allowed, so beautiful place to immerse if they would recommend for a walk with the pooch.

Great place, friendly team, beautiful quality dinner, good selection on the menu. excellent drink palette, beautiful atmosphere in bar area with open fire. dog-friendly in all areas, and they can table.

Not brilliant to be honest, waited for an hour to be served after ordering our meal. The young waitress serving us had plainly had no training whatsoever , so much so l felt sorry for her. Food wasn't too bad but tainted by the service. Won't be rushing back I'm afraid.

Just had lunch with the family 27th Dec. Staff very friendly. The pub was freezing, no heating or fires. Very busy, we did book in advance, waited an hour for our food. Sorry, but not impressed, steak n ale pie, meat gorgeous,veg was rock hard and small blob of mash. Husband said his parmisan wasn't very nice too. Shame as its such a nice pub, 3rd time over a year I've not been impressed with the food. I keep giving it a chance. But not any more.....up date.... 2 days later I've noticed the owners respond to nice comments only....even why its was so cold that day would have been nice to know why
