The Dubliners - Stockton-on-Tees

The tables were cluttered with empty plates and glasses. None of the kitchen staff or servers were wearing hairnets or hats. The serving counter was messy with dropped food, ruining my appetite for lunch. I did not enjoy the experience at all and would not recommend it. We were only given one roast potato and most of the Yorkshire puddings were burnt. The person serving the meat also seemed to be handling takeaway orders on their own. It appeared that the manager was cleaning the serving counter on her day off, which was not a good sign.

A friend and I sat outside in the sunshine and had a couple of drinks and some chips. The place was cheap and cheerful with friendly staff.

The staff is delightful, providing a friendly welcome. The menu offers a wide variety of options at reasonable prices. The tables are spotless, with hand sanitizer provided at the entrance and on every table. The food consistently exceeds expectations.

They are very tight in dishing out the roast potatoes. Mashed potato was found lumpy , instead of light fluffy. I thought the overall presentation of veg on display should be improved. However, beef and gammon were good.

This place is a little gem for food if you want a quick bite or a full meal this is the place. Good value food well cooked. For a lunchtime snack I would recommend the cheesy chips.
