"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. We turned up on the dot of 1:00 and the restaurant was almost empty, so no problems with seating! The menu was varied and we all found something we liked the sound of and ordered by 1:10. There was only one lady taking orders and making drinks (non alcoholic only, unfortunately now why? and we only saw one other staff member, I guess somebody else was in the kitchen? However, although our drinks arrived fairly quickly, no food arrived until 2:00., then one order was wrong! It was quickly corrected and the food was nice, although the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was oddly sweet. But fifty minutes to produce four meals, one being a sandwich and two others which must have been already cooked, is just daft, especially when there were only about five tables occupied at the most. We really wanted to like this place, as we think it’s aims are excellent, but it really can’t expect people to return unless it can provide a better service."

I read the reviews beforehand so I was expecting more. Menu very limited, food very average. Sorry but I will not be returning.

This restaurant is perfect for a professional business lunch. The meals were well-cooked and the staff was very attentive and accommodating. It's an ideal spot for professionals to discuss numbers over a delicious meal.

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! View menu

Looked for pre theatre eats and alighted on this because of the ethos and good reviews. Although preparing for some works parties we were made welcome and drinks were served quickly. Reduced menu cos Christmas but still good choice. We had the sharing antipasta starter which was lovely and then fish and chips for me and the famous parmo for my companion. Both were rated excellent, finished with coffee and the bill was most reasonable. When next in Mboro.........

Visited Fork in the Road with a colleague during a stay in Middlesbrough. I was blown away with the standard of service and food. Excellent shared starter platter followed by Lamb Shank for me and the famous Chicken Parmo for my colleague all washed down with a great priced bottle of Rioja. The chef Jamie and the waitress Gemma were both graduates of the Fork Academy and were just terrific. I would recommend Fork to anyone looking for a great meal that supports a great cause.
