                <![CDATA[Lovely little place in Yarm. I’d read a few reviews mentioning how good the coffee was, so I thought I’d give it a try today — and I can honestly say they weren’t wrong.

The coffee was absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t had one that good in a long time.

I also treated myself to a slice of chocolate cake with loads of nuts in it. I’ve no idea what it was called, but it was seriously good — very sweet, very rich, and absolutely delicious.

Perfect on a sunny day in Yarm. I’ll definitely be back.]]>

                <![CDATA[Nearly two years since Tees Valley Refurbishments completed our bathroom in Yarm and we’re still just as pleased with it.

What stood out for us was the attention to detail and the quality of the finish, especially the tiling. The team were respectful of the house, kept everything tidy and were very easy to deal with from start to finish. Communication was excellent and the regular progress photos were a nice touch.

It’s always a good sign when a job still looks this good after a couple of years. We’ve recommended them several times since and would have no hesitation in using them again.]]>

                <![CDATA[Superb pub, better now the outside area has had a refurb. 

Only 3 stars because of the following issues: 

Staff always saying there’s a 40 minute wait for food. Needless just gives the impression they can’t cope. It’s always 40minutes! 

The customers queue in a straight line for the bar. A modern scourge of society that the manager needs to stop. 

Would it hurt for the staff to smile?? It’s a happy pub, I met my wife in there 20 years ago when it had atmosphere and was part of the weekend scene and a drinkers pub. ]]>

Because they sell pizza by the slice, everyone in our family can get exactly what they want—which is a huge bonus compared to ordering just one whole pizza.

The dough is something really special—perfect every single time. And the flavours are always incredible. Friday nights wouldn’t be the same without it.]]>

The gift shop is brilliant as well, perfect for cards, presents, and any last-minute gifts.]]>

                <![CDATA[I go here at least once a week, and it’s always a treat. The bagels are fantastic – really generous in size, fresh, and full of flavour. My usual go-tos are the Brecc(y) and the Filly Fish, and both are consistently amazing. Everything tastes fresh, and the portions are spot-on. Easily one of the best spots around for a proper bagel fix!]]>
