The Crathorne Arms is a great pub in a wonderful community spirited village, lovely people, Lord Crathorne himself couldn’t be more supportive, how lucky we are.Our life has come a full circle from a town pub in Middlesbrough (well Eugene has) to the tontine (McCoys Hotel, Restaurant and Bistro) to a village pub in Crathorne, Ten Minutes from Middlesbrough.We live above the pub, our furniture and furnishings live downstairs as they can’t and won’t fit up the stairs! So the canoe has the condiments, the bookcases our books, the huge sofa with big squashy cushions to sink into, tin lanterns reflecting patterns on the ceiling, this all makes for a homely feel and that’s what we would like to create along with good wholesome food and drink.Of Course the staff, front of house and kitchen are all great, hardworking, smiley, enthusiastic young people and a joy to work with.

• Gastro Pub • Yarm

Booked 7 times today

Sitting on the banks of the River Tees, the Blue Bell commands an enviable position overlooking the river and has done so since the early 1700s. A varied selection of draught and bottled beers, lagers and ciders are always available and we stock, probably, the biggest selection of wines available in any pub in the area. Added to the soft drink selection there is something for everyone’s taste. The food menu is acknowledged as the jewel in the crown and only fresh produce, supplied by local suppliers, is used. The choice is huge and ranges from steaks, mixed grills and sauce dishes.

The food was exquisite, the staff so polite and informative as usual. Two of our party were gluten-intolerant and the choice of mains (didn’t have starters) was very good. It was lovely to have a gluten- free desert that was other than ice-cream and I had the orange tart which was exceptional. Only downside was the thumping music from a private function wasn’t great for fine dining.
