I've given this place several goes at different times of day and year and on each occasion I've been let down by really poor and especially slow service.

Seriously good feed, it rivals the parmi's we get in Australia.
Good crew of workers as well ?

Food took a while to arrive but table service while we waited was good. High prices for the food and drink, but good quality. Menu only had limited choices compared to those we saw online.

Nice food & atmosphere

Had a last minute table booked for 5:30, and was greeted by friendly staff (as usual!). We explained we were a bit early which meant our table wasn?t quite ready yet, the place was packed and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff came back right away and asked if we were happy to sit in The Wasps Nest which was about to reopen, and wow what can we say. It felt like a private dining experience. The place looks absolutely amazing!
Staff seated us, set our table, and had menus ready within minutes. I wish I?d got the name of the guy who seated us because he was fantastic! The young man who took our order was attentive and polite and made sure we had everything we needed, and asked if we would like our main with our starters and hopped on that quickly.
Speaking of food, oh my god. Two courses for £20 and the courses were HUGE. We ordered chicken wings which were steaming hot and the flavour was amazinggg!! Hands down the best wings I?ve had from any restaurant. We ordered the parmo for our mains and the bech was genuinely the nicest I?ve had in a long time. We also ordered a side of onion rings, expecting a small portion that you usually get from any restaurant but no, it was a huge bowl and they were so hot and crispy.
Passed on compliments and thanks to the owner and the chef, but couldn?t have just left it at that.
Thank you so much for a gorgeous meal!!
(ps didn?t get any pictures because we were too excited at how class the food looked and couldn?t wait)

Popped in before the Jason Isbell gig at the Globe. Drinks and food were really good and atmosphere was friendly and chilled. Despite being rushed off her feet the lady behind the bar was first class .

Ryan and the staff at The Hope and Union were absolutely incredible. Welcoming and friendly and made my time here fun. We spent a week working at the theatre and spent many nights here after work. Looking forward to returning in the future.
All the best Ryan mate. You're a legend x

Great atmosphere and a great pub. Food options used to be amazing but they have shrunk the menu A LOT from when I first went (No steaks anymore?!) And it's just not as good. Still great drinks and service though.

Whatever you do, don't get a parmo from here absolutely disgraceful what they give you, everyone needs to know how shocking this place is spread the word. Disgusting.

Best pub in Stockton, down in the Georgian Quarter. Especially nice to sit out on a warm evening.

Visited after being told it?s the best burger locally. Very disappointed. Had better burgers elsewhere, portion size was pathetic for the price, offered no condiments and for 6pm on a Friday night and already ran out of cider?!?! Doubt we will be back.
