The Hungry Horse - Middlesbrough

I went to a pub for dinner on a Thursday night, but I have also visited this place for breakfast a few times recently. I really enjoy this venue because it consistently delivers excellent food. This time, I chose the mini mixed grill, but there was nothing "mini" about it! The plate was loaded with food and everything was cooked and presented well. It was great value for money. My wife also ordered the same dish and thought it was very generous. Our friend took advantage of the Thursday special which included a free starter and main meal. He had no complaints, only compliments. He did mention that he finds peas uninspiring, but that's his opinion on peas in general and not a reflection on the restaurant. In summary, you can expect good quality food at reasonable prices here. If you prefer high-end dishes like fillet mignon or duck confit, my review may not be accurate for you. Lastly, the staff are fantastic - attentive and friendly. The customer service is top-notch. I will definitely be returning soon.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. Tables were set for a Christmas party with poppers and crackers; we all had fun. Everyone enjoyed their food and my steak was cooked perfect. All around great night.

Went for a treat tea with the family and had a lovely lady called Andrea who went above and beyond to accommodate us, she was so helpful and all with a smile!

Four of us went to the Highfield for lunch and to be fair two of the meals were fine. However the other two were frankly awful. The roast beef lunch was cold with rock hard vegetables and lumpy mash and the chicken mayo baguette was cold soggy and almost inedible with for example cheese that wasn't remotely melted and a bun that was just not warmed through. The service was terrible, our finished plates were still there when we left and in an hour and a half not once did a waiter come to see if things were ok or to see if we wanted anything else. Be warned !!!

Had a lovely family meal 7/10/23 food was on time cooked to perfection and lovely staff on the bar food served to us by caprice
