I think we need a guide to decent pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways.
If I may start with one for anyone near Hartlepool - Big Lou's cafe on York Road. Proper one man band, all fresh cooked, handmade burgers, lush breakfasts, proper brews. And, most importantly for a tight Northerner like me... Very cheap.
And for somewhere a little posher, Borge in Stockton. Has been there for years, we tried it yesterday. Beautiful food, great service, and excellent drinks menu. Again not to badly priced - we did three courses each and plenty of drinks for about fifty quid. And the creme brulee is to die for!

English Pub with proper Thai Food.
Or venture out another 5 mins from J26 into depths of Epping Forest hidden all on its own, a Pub called the Robin Hood, a traditional Pub that serves English Ale with authentic freshly cooked Thai Food that wont break the Bank.
A pint of Real Ale and Thai Grub, what more could you ask for, or Thai Beer is also available.

I've been in a few times since you let me in on this little secret, always only for a bacon bap and brew though...

Have never been - do report back! Hazey and I are always looking for good grub that we can wander to, and call in the local on the way back...
How long you coming up for? Cuppas are always on offer if one of us is around... ;)

As we are eating at the moment and its bloody lovely -The Old Farmhouse, Middleton St George, near Darligton. It's a Vintage Inn, but it feels homely, and the food is absolutely top drawer.
