Lunch out...Plus my ratings of local places to try

Best place with a decent Lunchtime menu? Wanting to try somewhere new, willing to travel but within reason and we'll have a child with us so probably nothing too high brow...

Places we've already tried what I can think of (and personal ratings):
Bay Horse - Hurworth and Greenhow - Hurworth 9.5/10 exceptional but Greenhow Over rated 6/10
Jet Miners - Ingelby Greenhow - Very very good, home cooked and they dont scrimp on the portions 8.5/10
The Masham - Hartburn - Nice vibe, dog friendly inside, never had any issues, constant 7/10
Manjaros - Ingelby - Go-to for Parmo and more, Sunday dinners also very tasty. Completely different feeling to Middlesbrough one.
White Hart - Hart Village - Not been for a while but old fashioned pub serving hearty homecooked grub
Fox Covert - Yarm 6.5/10, never been wowed
Manor House - Yarm-ish, really like this place for a quick lunch 7/10
Chadwicks - Maltby - Definitely not somewhere i'd go on anything other than a special occasion but food was amazing (and pricey) 8/10
The Falcon - Hilton Portions are huge, definitely do not get a starter! 7/10
Impeccable Pig - Sedgefield - Used to rate very highly but last time we went we where met with rude staff, poor service and lack of choice. Not long after Covid too so you'd think they'd be happy for the custom 4/10
The Dun Cow - Sedgefield - Long time ago but was fine from what i remember 6/10
Spotted Cow - Elton same as above so unfair to score either way 6/10
Tipsy Cow (spot the theme!) - Acklam - My local, always good food and good beer 7.5/10
Rio - Town - 7/10 It is what it is
Turtle Bay - Town - Was ok, prefer to go there for drinks 6/10
Chairman - Bedford street - Really really good and great value 8/10
O'Connells - Bedford street - you wont get better food for the value, perfect if you're already in town or for a stomach lining before the match! 9/10
Fork in the Road - Town 7/10
Persian Cottage - Linthorpe Village - Amazing, somewhere i havent been for a while also but was blown away last time if you're big on meat, would go here over Rio and service was top drawer 9/10
Sutton Arms - Faceby - For me the best Sunday dinner for miles (Just pips Manjaros) 9/10

There will be a lot more ive forgotten...so anything not on the list worth a try?
Which is the good beer in the tipsy cow?

Haha I could have written your list, and it would have been practically identical, even with the ratings and comments :LOL:

The Ship at Redmarshall does a decent parmo, but the main attraction is their repertoire of them, there are like 30 different types.

Good call on Manjaro's (Ingleby) though, they are better quality or more consistently cooked. I've not found anywhere as good as a Manjaro's parmo though, to be honest, and it's really nice inside and pretty good value.

Staff at Impeccable pig were not great when we went too, and the food didn't make up for it.

Vane Arms in Thorpe Thewles is nice, food is good quality, but not high-brow where kids would be a problem.

Whinstone View is decent, not far from Nunthorpe.

Blackwell Ox in Carlton and Coco and Rum Saltburn are both good for Thai food, not sure about lunchtimes though, only been on evenings.
 
Truffled hog in Stokesley is good, bit expensive but great if you like a load of smallish plates .and Stokesley is also good for a mini pub crawl with the Green man being a personal favourite
