The Gallery Cafe - Stockton-on-Tees

Visited for a late lunch. We all had fish and chips which were well cooked as were the chips. Mushy peas were cold. However for the price we paid it was ok.

We went yesterday 4/11/16 at 11.20 and asked for 2 special breakfasts (served before11.30 I wrote down on a napkin what we wanted on them ,they came with wrong items on ...bacon was hardly cooked ..and to make matters worse they were dried up and cold...obviously we got the dregs....the coffee was also Luke warm probably due to the 2 women serving behind talking to each other constantly. I handed £20 over and she changed me for £10 ...so I won't be going back ..the 2 ladies sat next to us left their foods as it wasn't hot enough.....your breaking the law

I remember going here when I was very young with my grandparents and today me and my brother thought it would be nice to revisit while in the town, the place was filthy, smelly and very dated. The only reason we stayed as by the time we got there my baby was screaming for a feed. We ordered 2 portions of chips which when they came pritty much immediately we're completely over done, rock hard and the potato inside almost non existent. I took pictures as I felt this place was so dirty it should be closed down! As for the staff they looked as fed up as the place itself.

I've used this coffee shop and their other outlets in Hartlepool and Billingham for years but have noticed a gradual decline. Called into the Stockton coffee shop today and was shocked to see the state of disrepair it is now in. Is it being run down for closure perhaps? Two large glass windows overlooking the River to the side have been boarded up for weeks and make the interior gloomy. Part of the cavernous restaurant has been closed off for a while and looks dark and dusty. However the main area where they are still serving food concerned me. The walls are stained, the roof manky with dirt tracks running down the walls. The food was edible but uninspiring though the milky coffee is still good. I didn't venture into the toilets having read the previous review! This place needs a thorough spruce up or a close up I'm afraid. Food and selection have diminished and I notice it only has a 3 Star food hygiene (out of 5) from the Council now. Having viewed it today, they were lucky to be awarded that! I remember when this place started out and was clean and had good standards with appetising food and snacks.

Overstaffed and all sat chatting in corner. Appart from a young girl constatly mopping the same bit of floor. Absolutlely no customer service. Food was disgusting. And then i had the unfortunate experience of having to take my two year old to the disgusting and filthy toilets. Windows in cafe were boarded up which madebthe place look even worse than it is if that is possible. Never ever again!
