About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    We could not fault the food or service so it was very disappointing that our anniversary meal was spoiled by the inconsiderate behaviour of certain other customers. The table of 4 next to us were talking/shouting, laughing and swearing so loudly even the waitress struggled to take our order. I am not out to criticise people having a good time and hate those formal places where the silence is deafening but there has to be a happy medium. This was our first visit for several years following a previous similar experience. Were we just unlucky on both occasions? Perhaps we must resign ourselves to the fact that The Crathorne Arms is just not the best choice to enjoy good food in a relaxed but peaceful atmosphere.

    Lovely meal at the Crathorne Arms today for Sunday lunch. Child's portion perfect for those with a smaller appetite, would have preferred a child's size dessert to but I'm probably in the minority for those that want less pudding!

    Food excellent. Service great. The only problem is booking on the Open table App The choice is pizza area, other, restaurant bar. We did not want a pizza so choose the next option that appeared, which it seems still means the pizza area not other food which is how I understood it. This meant the venue was overbooked at our time. Nevertheless tgey found a way to fit everyone in. Food and service were both great. Thank you
