We wanted to visit for lunch with some rather elderly friends and we were disappointed that they don’t take bookings as our friends would find it hard to wait for a table. However the staff were very helpful when we contacted them on Messenger and said they would certainly have a table for us at the time we wanted, 1pm.

Visited Fork in the Road with a colleague during a stay in Middlesbrough. I was blown away with the standard of service and food.

Both were rated excellent, finished with coffee and the bill was most reasonable. When next in Mboro.........
5 stars! The best brunch in Middlesbrough! The food is outstanding and the service is unbelievable, nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant atmosphere is perfect and it is spotless. The value of the food is amazing. After visiting many restaurants for breakfast and brunch in Middlesborough, Yarm, Norton, and North Yorkshire, The Folk in the Road stands out by far for us. I cannot stress enough how much you need to visit The Folk in the Road!

The food and service at this restaurant are top-notch and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning. Enjoy your meal!
I read the reviews beforehand so I was expecting more. Menu very limited, food very average. Sorry but I will not be returning.
