The Half Moon in Middlesbrough

Excellent food, popped in on Thursday was 7 of us , helpful staff nothing was too much trouble, glutten free on the menu always a plus

One of the best meals I have had since arrival in UK. It was amazingly big meal low cost & extremely friendly atmosphere & service. I thoroughly recommend coming here. Gluten-free is available on most meals.

The food is great. Home made chips are to die for! So pleased they have introduced smaller plates lunchtime menu

Absolutely fantastic place for a nice meal and a pint or two, nice open indoor areas with comfortable seating and relaxing atmosphere. Outdoor beer garden is very spacious and well kept with on site carpark.The meals themselves are well worth the money in terms of both quality and quantity and there are plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options too. The girls there are absolutely lovely and always have a welcoming smile on their faces, could not recommend this place highly enough. Please come here you will not be disappointed 😉

Lovely family run pub.Good parking easy access but most of all good food.

Great gluten free options!Lovely decore, nice and spacious, clean and tidy. Really had great first impressions. Was empty when we arrived and had to wait a long time for food, but the musics good and theres a great range of drinks so we werent bored.I had potato skins and gf parmo. The bechamel sauce was not pleasant but hey, thats gf for you, but the chicken in breadcrumb was really good! First parmo Id had in a year and was well worth it! Chips were great, too!My partner had a mixed grill which was nice but the pork chop was unfortunately tough as old boots, but there was a great variety on the plate with crunchy onion rings and perfectly done black pudding. For sixteen quid its a great meal.And they had a garlic pizza bread for starter that was quite oily but smelt and tasted absolutely delicious. The garlic bread base was so soft and fresh!We were much too full for a dessert unfortunately but well definitely be back!

Very, very good food. Service was great.Everything appears to be home made, delicious and at very reasonable prices too.Defo recommend.

Just had a seven member family get together meal at the Half Moon, on a Tuesday which must have surprised the staff, but they were excellent. I tried the Beef Madras which was superb, the beef just fell apart and the curry was about the right hotness. Others tried Parmos, a Cajun Chicken, a Lasagne and a Steak Pie - all were very pleased and none of it was your regular pub grub, it was proper home made food. We will definitely be coming back.

Took myself and kids here for a Sunday Dinner, Food was amazing...beef was so tender didnt need a knife to cut it...vegetables fresh and yorkies so yummy and fluffy.Great service and food... cant recommend them highly enough.Thank you we will be back thats for sure👍

Great pub with a very friendly atmosphere I enjoyed my time at this pub and will definitely go again

Lovely Sunday dinner home cooked food,friendly staff will visit again,Unfortunately visited agai 3 weeks ago and the dinner was awfulWe had beef ,all dry asked for it to be changed,staff never came over to ask if everything was to our satisfaction,the beef was awful.Im not sure if its a different chef but what a massive difference from our 1st visit.

Been several times and havent been disappointed so far.

The food and service were excellent.

Food was deliciousEveryone was very friendly

Visited the Half Moon in Lazenby by chance. Glad that we stopped. Greeted by a friendly staff member/owner?The pub decor was I remembered it as it had been some years since I last visited. Pleasant surroundings.We ordered food, which came remarkably quickly, very hot and plenty on the plate.Note: The half parmo is huge😀 I would hate to see what a full parmo would be likeWill definitely call again. If you are in the area and looking for a bite to eat then I would recommend based upon todays meal.

Lovely place, food delicious, proper chips and the portion sizes are very generous. Always friendly service, Pauline is very pleasant and talkative, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Great food and fabulous friendly staff.

Excellent home cooked food in a very friendly atmosphere

Lovely quaint venue serving amazing food plus plenty of it. Great prices and friendly staff

Very nice dinner with excellent beer. Very friendly staff and good service. Will definitely be going again. Recommended.

Great food at good prices. Really friendly service . Much better than it used to be under the last manager . We will be going back 👍👍

Wat a lovely old looking pub nice background music good real ales top quality meals very clean place to take family or girl frend to soothe the hart warm friendly staff really good night out

Totally excellent, drinks a bit expensive, lovely log fire, lovely food.

We live literally 5 minutes away from this place and I can’t believe we’ve never been.Traditional home cooked food, hard to find these days. Food was amazing and service fantastic. Definitely be heading back soon

Nice staff, great food, decent beer garden.

Went for Sunday roast, had pork dinner, excellent value and lovely tasting!

We visited for Saturday lunch.Ordered steak and ale pie and salmon.Both dishes were so tender and delicious.Staff were lovely and friendly.Had a table by the window.Will visit again.

Staff are wonderful, efficient service and friendly. It is very clean and decor is pleasing and comfortable.Evening meal was tasty and great price pointSunday dinner was a little below par. Starter was lovely, soup. Meat was tough and needed seasoning. Good price point for a Sunday dinner. Will try again, maybe just that day.

Wonderful young bar lady helped me take my beer outside and was very efficient in every way, nice pint in the sun. Tuesday 20 July

We received a warm welcome and excellent food and service. Their gluten free options are always lovely. I had the gluten free parmo and chips and they were gorgeous. The outside area is lovely too with new seating so we had a drink out there afterwards. Would highly recommend.

Reasonably priced with a warm welcome and a good selection of drinks.Visited on Saturday night 29/5/21 and knowing how difficult a T bone can be to get right, I can only give them all the praise possible. That was absolutely amazing 100%

Just been for a lovely meal with my family. Staff are brilliant and the food is amazing. Mixed grills were great all enjoyed our meals.

Its a shame because its a beautiful pub, with lovely staff but the food has definitely deteriorated since we where last in. Even had a rotten tomatoe on our salad and the chips where raw. Gutted, loved this place before lockdown, its a shame

Traditional Village Pub with a decent range of beers, wine and spirits. Homely atmosphere and friendly environment contribute to what is becoming a rarity; a village pub that deserves supporting.

We went for evening meal Ive never had such a bad meal it was curry the beef was tough rice was cold all stuck together as if microwaved. my partner had parmo it was ok but we werent offered any sauces it was bad for the price will not be going back any time soon

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the Half Moon in Lazenby by both the food, surroundings and the service. It must of been at least 35 years since I was last there and the pub has changed so much. I would recommend this quaint pub and its food if you are in the area.

Stumbled across this place when original plans fell through.Lovely cosy layout and clean, traditional pub restaurant.Plenty of parking.Nice friendly staff.Beautifully decorated for Christmas too.Short simple but pleasant menu, higher end prices for a pub restaurant.Food was lovely, well presented without being too fussy.Will definitely look to go again on purpose next time!

An unplanned visit to this pleasant eating venue. I was surprised to find a welcoming host considering we had not booked. The food was varied and prepared to order. The slight wait was worth it for the perfectly cooked meal.

Cracking afternoon lunch I had the fish and chips and the wife had the hot beef and gravy baguette , boy the portion sizes were huge. Well done to the staff and owners, we will definitely be back. What a real surprise. 👍👍👍

Very tasty food, and extremely friendly staff.Was excited to get tucked in to a proper Parmo, being from Cumbria and not being able to experience these often, and this surpassed expectations in every way! Also the staff were extremely helpful and went the extra mile, even serving a customised version of something to suit our needs. Would 100% return here.

I came to the pub because I had seen they did vegetarian parmo and vegan parmo. I was very disappointed! The parmo was just mashed up vegetables (looked like sunday dinner leftoverswith cheese on top. It was so sloppy and tasteless. I could not believe that they charged £10.99 for it. If you are going to advertise you do vegan or vegetarian food at least make it nice. Why not use a meat substitute or tofu or sietan? It needed texture and flavour. Theres so many places that do great vegan and vege food nowadays, they need to catch up!

Great traditional British local pub. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is brilliant. The menu is very extensive and the Sunday lunch is excellent. It very good value for money and the atmosphere is delightful and very comfortable and welcoming.

Its a local favourite for us.Good old fashioned menu with bags of choice.Never been disappointed. Never had any negative experience. Highly recommend

Lovely food at a reasonable price with friendly service. Stopped in for a quick bite for lunch and was very happy.

Wonderful service and for excellent. Quite large portions even though I only had the panini, my husband had mine and dumplings and I admit I looked in with envy! Having a but of a refurbish, the colour s are nice, clean and toilets clean to, which is always a marker for me, clean toilets, clean staff and clean kitchen. Leads of parking, deck areas out the back with lovely views. Will visit again

Lovely well priced food. You are made to feel welcome and the service is great

Staff very attentive . Food fresh and home Made. Box of outside toys to keep the little people entertained lol x kelly is doing an amazing job since taking over the rhelm. Keep up the good work. Well definitely be back x

This review is from 4 May 2017 and was originally posted on Facebook but as Facebook Page now deleted posting on hereWe were a party of 5 wanting to eat with a small baby in a pram. As we walked in we were told by the bar maid that we would not be allowed in with the buggy due to managers rule (which I could understand if it was busy but there was at most 3 other people in there and they were in the bar area we wanted to sit in the restaurant area)I explained that my son was only 11 weeks old and would not be able to sit in a highchair, it was at this point I was told he would have to be in a car seat then. As my partner and I did not like having our son in his car seat unnecessarily and he was also quite happy and content in his pram we politely stated we would leave and go else where.I had been to this pub several times before having my son and was quite happy with the food etc but after this I will not be returning as I feel they were unreasonable and unhelpful. Like I said earlier if the pub had been busy I could totally understand but it wasn’t and they lost out on five adults eating and drinking.Disappointed 😔

We had lunch at the Half Moon in Lazenby, the first time we had eaten there for maybe a year. Both my wife and I had lasagna & shared chips & garlic bread. As usual the lasagna was a decent size portion & very tasty. The chips were excellent and garlic bread fine. Prices were what you would expect for good food, soft drinks a little pricy, but all in all we enjoyed our lunch at the Half Moon.

The food is excellent, we cant fault it staff are lovely would recommend it
