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 had such a great time at Blackfriars doing the Creole and All That Jazz cooking course! Josh was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and engaging, explaining everything really clearly and making the whole experience fun and enjoyable. The food was delicious, the recipes were easy to follow, and Josh was really supportive when we were practising the different techniques, making sure we felt comfortable giving everything a go. Chloe was also brilliant and so attentive throughout the evening, making sure we always had drinks, keeping everything tidy and packing up our food ready for the next course. It really made the whole experience feel relaxed and well looked after. We had a brilliant evening, learnt some new skills and ate some amazing food. Would definitely recommend! Thanks so much to Josh and Chloe for making it such a lovely experience. I've already recommended it to everyone I work with!

    Great mains - fish and chips. A bit disappointed with desert not as expected. However, bar/serving staff were polite, gracious and very obliging. Apologies i don't know your names but the two young men on Wednesday evening 28th Oct. were superb. Thank you. You made our experience even better. Look forward to returning.
