The Fork In The Road - Middlesbrough

5 stars! The best brunch in Middlesbrough! The food is outstanding and the service is unbelievable, nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant atmosphere is perfect and it is spotless. The value of the food is amazing. After visiting many restaurants for breakfast and brunch in Middlesborough, Yarm, Norton, and North Yorkshire, The Folk in the Road stands out by far for us. I cannot stress enough how much you need to visit The Folk in the Road!

The food and service at this restaurant are top-notch and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning. Enjoy your meal!

This restaurant is perfect for a professional business lunch. The meals were well-cooked and the staff was very attentive and accommodating. It's an ideal spot for professionals to discuss numbers over a delicious meal.

We wanted to visit for lunch with some rather elderly friends and we were disappointed that they don’t take bookings as our friends would find it hard to wait for a table. However the staff were very helpful when we contacted them on Messenger and said they would certainly have a table for us at the time we wanted, 1pm. We turned up on the dot of 1:00 and the restaurant was almost empty, so no problems with seating! The menu was varied and we all found something we liked the sound of and ordered by 1:10. There was only one lady taking orders and making drinks (non alcoholic only, unfortunately now why? and we only saw one other staff member, I guess somebody else was in the kitchen? However, although our drinks arrived fairly quickly, no food arrived until 2:00., then one order was wrong! It was quickly corrected and the food was nice, although the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was oddly sweet. But fifty minutes to produce four meals, one being a sandwich and two others which must have been already cooked, is just daft, especially when there were only about five tables occupied at the most. We really wanted to like this place, as we think it’s aims are excellent, but it really can’t expect people to return unless it can provide a better service.

Went here as quite a big group of friends and I couldn’t praise it enough. The food was great and the staff were more than happy to help with anything we needed. Lovely lovely staff.
