The Start - Middlesbrough

The dining experience at this restaurant is top-notch. It is hard to find a Chinese restaurant that can rival it.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent!

Located directly on the university campus, The Star is a popular choice for students looking for a quick bite or a budget-friendly night out. I used to come here with friends when I was a student and I remember the lively and friendly atmosphere at night. Dress up for a disco night and you're in for a good time. During the day, there is a wide selection of food and drinks available. The menu includes wraps, burgers, loaded potatoes, and other pub classics like Sunday roasts, not to mention the local favorite, parmo. I recently tried the Mexican burger and fries, but the one thing I highly recommend trying are their parmos. The Star serves delicious parmos, fantastic fries, and their garlic sauce is absolutely divine. I'm not quite sure what they do to make it so good, but it's hands down my favorite garlic sauce of all time. The Star is open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 7:30pm, Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 5pm, and Sunday from 12pm. Give it a try, seriously - especially the garlic sauce!

The place is a basic Brittish pub with beer and pub food. It's located in the university grounds so I expect it to be packed with students when the semester is on. Servings are big and hearty. You order and pay at the bar so no unnecessary waiting for the bill. Very casual.

Had Sunday dinner here, food was good but very busy and struggled to get a table. Dinner was carvery style with a choice of four meats and a selection of vegetables and as many roasties as you want just a shame no parsnips!
