The Buck Inn - Middlesbrough

We had evening meals here while on a week's holiday. We have visited in the past and still cannot fault it. Good food. Friendly staff. We will definitely visit when this way again.

Visited The Buck Inn following a lovely long walk around North York Moor surrounding Chop Gate. Being rather thirsty and thinking a local pub might be grateful of some business following the covid restrictions, my partner and I decided to drop in for a drink.We were met by a lot of covid non sense demanding mask wearing etc, despite the fact all this ended in July and it is now choice, not law. Posters everywhere and a big Perspex screen across the bar. Not very inviting.However, we respected the wishes on this occasion and obliged in mask wearing. Drinks were ordered and an enquiry made about food which we were rudely told “Don’t serve food till 5:30 pal”. Another couple came in and immediately told to don a mask. They then did this but the bar man couldn’t tell what they were saying. Hmmmmmm. Not overly impressed by the way he spoke to other customers.Due to the pandemic I rarely carry cash anymore as it’s become an unwanted tender. But surprise surprise, it’s a minimum of £10 payment on card. So with no desserts available until 5:30, we ordered coffee to get to the £10.My partner was rudely told again that these couldn’t be take out and that there was no chance of a mocha, despite it being on the menu! I begrudgingly paid the barman and left.A shame this visit didn’t go well as I’ve heard the food was very nice, but if walking in the area I suggest people do themselves a favour and just get back in your car and find somewhere else for a drink and/or meal.No doubt ‘Helen B’ will be along shortly to tear this review to shreds as, from looking at other reviews, she cannot handle criticism.

Great German hot dogs and beer!10 year old son and I popped in after having had a decent circular walk from chop gate over cold moor, wainstones and Urra moor. Cloudy damp day and despite our being the only guests on a Wednesday afternoon we received a very friendly reception. German sausage was much larger than son was expecting ! and while I am normally an ale drinker the Dortmund beer was excellent. I hope businesses like this are able to get through current climate.

Three well kept TT real ales and a fine selection of German beer including wheat beerGerman slant to the menu (great, home-made spaetzle) with large portions and everything fairly pricedHomemade cakes and gift tagsBiker friendly, dog friendly and outside seatingB&BGood parking and fairly easy access
