Wellington - Stockton-on-Tees

We enjoyed the cozy tempo of ordering our food and drink, but since we rarely order starter and main courses, it would have been appreciated if a bread basket had been offered. we felt that the price of the house white £33 was too expensive. altogether although a very pleasant experience with excellent dining in beautiful surroundings

It is one of my favorite restaurants and not missed to maintain a high standard

On Friday 17th juni, I came to the afternoon with friends. we arrived on time, but waited for 10 minutes to sit, as the waiter had already dealt with someone. it seemed to be personal everywhere, but not much done or people are seen (there were two young people looking for a lighter place?! we were finally sitting and given menus. 10 minutes later, someone came to take our beverage order, the same guy who sat us. He must have been the only one who actually works. he must have forgotten the drinks, not surprising that he is the only one who works, as we had to follow the order 10 minutes later. the same chap came with our drinks shortly after and was very apologetic. the guy who was to see us was nice, it was the service speed of all the others who did not seem to help him what was poor. overall eating was nice, the service, not so.

Upon arrival we opted to have a pre dinner drink whilst we looked at the menu. We were served by lovely staff and the sommelier was very knowledgeable and made recommendations which were just right. The food was very good. Particularly the bread and belly pork for mains. Will return!

From the moment we arrived and were greeted at the door then shown personally to the Wellington Room this felt like a special occasion. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and professional, the food and champagne were gorgeous. We would definitely like to return and would thoroughly recommend the afternoon tea to anyone considering it.
