My brother who likes to go out for heavy drinking sessions on the weekend used to call this place…read morehis HQ. Its was always a bit loud for me but has certainly cleaned up its reputation. It is no longer a heavy drinking pub but is getting good reviews for the Chinese restuarant part (which is being refurnished) The resturant is why I decided to give this place another try and I did enjoy it. The new buffet style is good and the food is very good and worth having.It is now a lot brighter and cleaner and certainly more inviting. My only complaint is that it seemed take away customers seemed to be getting priority over the eat in customers

We have eaten at The Ship many times as a family and have always had a lovely time. The service is…read morefantastic, the menu is extensive with something for everyone, the place is very child-friendly, with good quality highchairs available, and I really have nothing negative to say about it at all! We happened upon the place purely by chance when returning from a day out, and I am so glad we did as it is now one of our favourite places to eat! I would recommend this pub to anyone who has a very healthy appetite, as i have never seen portions this big anywhere else! Many of the main meals would be enough to serve two people, especially some of the meat dishes, which are HUGE! Many of the meals have smaller portion sizes available, but to be fair these are still much bigger than you'd get in many other pubs. Even the children's portions are big! We have tried various dishes off the huge menu and all have been delicious; there is a quite a large vegetarian menu which pleased me; the mushroom stroganoff with pasta is lovely, and the puddings are gorgeous too! The prices are a little higher than many pub meals, but this is reflected in the portion sizes and the sheer quality of the food. I can't recommend this place high enough and am looking forward to returning there soon!

I have always been impressed with the service here; the staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu is large, although I don't like the way that it is written on boards all around the room instead of on paper menus, as it feels like you're leaning over people who are having their meal just to see what food there is! We have some had lovely lunches there, it is really nice sitting in the small beer garden at the back looking out over the countryside on a sunny afternoon. The meals are not overly expensive, and although the portions aren't huge they are probably just right for most appetites. The pub is very popular and most people I know have dined there at some point; I've never heard a negative review of the place. Although I wouldn't say it is my favourite place to eat in the area, it's well worth a look.

Myself and 10 friends dined at the Hamilton Russell on a Monday and chose to have the food from the…read morespecial Steak Night. Everyone commented how well the food was cooked, and as a bottle of wine for two was part of the deal, we only paid £12.50 each for a rump steak, lovely fat chips and trimmings as well as a half a bottle of Hardys wine each. The staff were very friendly and the service couldn't be beaten. We enjoyed ourselves so much we are going back on Wednesday to sample the Curry Night. The new owners of the Hamilton Russell are very pleasant and it is obvious they have a will to improve things. If they keep on producing good food at a good price like we have recently sampled they have 11 converts. Well done the Hammy.

Had to ask for napkins & didn't seem to be many condiments available. Wasn't to busy at lunch time. Seems a nice location for a spot of lunch/dinner. Would return 6/2/2019 Have returned, this time we sat in the restaurant part. There was a number of offers for food at £5. Lunch specials I guess as it was lunch time! Not to busy. I must admit that having been here 3 or 4 times now over past 2/3 years, I prefer weatherspoons for a decent burger & chips, the price of the beer is a little expensive compared to spoons as well. It's handy for a pint & food after walking along the river for an hr or so.

There are two sections, as you walk in left is for table dining with service and right is bar dining or drinking. The food is of restaurant quality and presented beautifully, the menu is a little more expensive than your wetherspoon counterparts but is much better quality. There is a children's play area outside the back and table seating all around the pub, great in the summer with an extr bar outside !! The best part about The Talpore is the points card, if you go regular enough the points soon build up giving great discounts and money off vouchers.

4 of us visited the pub last Friday for a meal. Starter we had were , prawn cocktail with crab, and…read moremushrooms on toast. They were good and would be worth a 6/10. Main couses were scampi, beef casserole and dumplings and a burger of some sort. They get a 6/10. The food is good and reasonably priced but maybe not exceptional but then its only pub food. The place itself is recently refurbished and my only problem with it is its too large and too open by which I mean its like eating in a waiting room. Also there was no heating on and two of us were cold. The staff could be friendlier. The waitresses tended to plonk the food in front of you and basically not speak to you at all. The person on the till could be a little more welcoming. Generally a good meal but staff need some more training perhaps. Its maybe because they are young and unused to speaking to strangers! So nothing much wrong with the food but room for improvement. Why not give it a try.

The bar staff are attentive and friendly. The food is lovely - there is a cheap lunch time menu and a full evening meal menu with meal deals for certain times and days - always well cooked and well priced. Weekday afternoons are quiet and it livens up of an evening. They often have events going on in the evenings - the usual pub things such as live music and quizes and then the more unusual events such as ladies night and physic evenings. But whenever you go you will always be greeted with a smile, a good pint and well cooked favourful food.

Although we haven't visited the Londonderry Arms since last year we used to go quite a lot, and we…read morehave always been impressed with the high standard of their food and the excellent customer service there. The menu is extensive, with special offers during the day and at teatime, and the portion sizes are a really good size. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian dishes on offer, along with some great fish and meat dishes. All of the food is freshly prepared to order so can take a while to arrive, but it is well worth the wait. The children's menu is reasonably priced, as is all of the food on the menu, and my daughter has always really enjoyed it. There is a children's play area at the back which keeps the kids quiet while you're waiting for the food to come, and plenty of picnic benches if you want to dine al fresco. The only time we have not been very impressed with the food was their Sunday dinner, which my husband didn't think was very good; however other people I know who've been there have enjoyed it so this may just be a question of personal taste. I would recommend the Londonderry Arms for a family meal; the place is child-friendly and the puddings are amazing, especially the Mars Bar cheesecake, which is one of the best puddings I've ever eaten!

Our 4 course meal was beautiful and served very smoothly and efficiently by happy friendly staff, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend the Londonderry and will be booking again for Xmas Day 2012.

We often start a night out at the Royal Oak as it is a good pub and a good place to catch up with friends, as the music is not too loud and there are plenty of places to sit. The toilets are upstairs so not ideal for disabled visitors! The drinks here do seem a little more expensive than most of the other pubs in the High Street. There is karaoke on a couple of times a week which does get very busy, and is always a good laugh. I've never eaten in the Royal Oak but I have heard other people say they've not been too impressed with the food, and I have also heard that it is becoming something of a gay bar, but in fairness Stockton no longer has any gay bars so why not? I would recommend the Royal Oak as a good place to meet friends before heading further into town for a night out.
