Cheap Food

• Maccy D's
• Nando's is right next to the cinema, but there really aren't many other decent restaurants. Burger King was called Buger King until they fixed the sign.
• EUROPA!! :p
• If yer in Coulbly Newham and fancy a coffee try the cafe in the inshops at the parkway, its cheaper then the one in the main area for instance a coffee is around £1.40 if the round cafe and the inshops on is £0.80p cheap food as well. I get a chip bun and coffee for £1.80
• Central Park, Nando's.
• the jacket poto van is mint!
• pizzas take an hour to be delieved how fucking shit is that?

• royal china princess road middlesbrough, class food, low prices!
• Japanese near cineworld, oddles(noodles) on linthorpe road.
• NANDOS well nice,not too cheap but its propa mint munch!
• KFC Macdonalds
• NOT CHEAP BUT THE BEST OF IT'S KIND IN THE 'BORO ... Khans curry house.
• McDonald's pound saver menu :D
• PARMOS!!!!!!! every takeaway in the boro has them and they're still goin strong, spread the word!!

• Maccy D's
• boro fish bar (nice photos)
• BELLE VUE FISHERIES,BELLE VUE,MIDDLESBROUGH - AMAZING TAKEAWAY FOOD AT AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES. THEY SELL ALMOST ANYTHING AND IF IT,S NOT ON THE MENU THEY WILL TRY TO MAKE IT FOR YOU.PRICE,QUALITY AND QUANTITY ARE ALL EXCEPTIONAL.
• Not Fellinis - the service is crap, the food not much better and they charge 3 times as much for the same as you get in many food pubs. Equally bad is Joe Riggatone's where the waiters pretend theyre Italian - I went to school with one and embarassed the hell outa him Try Sassaris on Linthorpe road or Zest opposite the UGC for lunch
• me-mo's on eastbourne road. they do great bundle deals on food and it tastes amazing. we've probably put the owners kids through uni (or in middlesbrough, drug rehabilitation courses) with money spent there!
• PARMO,PARMO,PARMO
• Loadsa places to choose from in Boro, its all soo hard to choose at times but if time is no option go for Linthorpe roads China Buffet King, all you can eat for £6/9 wow, nice staff, spicy or simple fresh food and you can see the chef cooking it too. The best time to eat here is around 5pm as more tasty food options become available around this time Ive found - namely my favourite, salt and pepper squid with seaweed.
• FELLINI'S USED TO BE GREAT., NOW ITS OVER PRICED AND THE FOOD IS BAD AND THE SERVICE TERRIBLE, WAHT HAS HAPPEND TO THIS PLACE?
• barnacls
• i am the grandchild of willaim upex and my dad is arthur upex and i would like to say the pies were great!!!
• joe rigatoni's on linthorpe rd, lovely food, happy hour between 5-7, or something like that. purple onion if u have a few bob spare. The pizza shop on linthorpe rd! lovely!
• BURGER KING!!!!! THE KING OF FOOD!!!!!
• Loads and loads. Try Balti Raj Indian Take Away, I've never been disappointed, Iqbal regularly wins a regional competition for curry making and I know why. Pizza Pavillion is my local pizza place and it rocks, but Mega Bites is doing a deal on pizzas just now so I go there. There are dozens of take aways on Linthorpe Road but I wish I knew the number of a good Chinese. For a meal I would suggest Banana leaf, a chinese buffet place on Linthorpe, Central Park is nice, generally Italian but they do sell other stuff. Fellini's looks really nice but i've never been in. There's a Joe Rigatoni's which is nice but really dark. Too dark, and try the bar next door, its really nice but always quiet!
• central park really nice in middlesbrough and redcar!!
• who ever mentioned about khans being fined are totaly wrong. They are the best indian by far and they did enter the competion for best curry in boro.If in doubt ask inviromental health about facts. They are the longest established indian resturant chain (3 in all) in town. Not closed down and reopend in different name (ie Masala ). Great family run establishment. My favourite is the one oppisite park gates. Try there speciality Mix Grill ( yummmmmmmmmmy)
• food! without a dought the best egg fu young in the boro is from a chinese takeaway at the top of oxford road on the junction with roman road! also the best parmo is deffinatly EUROPA.
• Sun Lok Curry House (beaumont rd)......best chinese ever!!!!!
• Central Park, best ever meal-Recommend Sicillian Chicken.....If after a night out wanting greasy fattening foods-Pizza 2000, nice Kebabs,pizzas,burgers etc etc Lewis restaurant also a winner with yum food...both Linthorpe Road
• Dont go to any pizza shop apart from bellisimo's, the rest are imigrants. bellisimos is a good quality italian/boro lad, he also does the best parmos in the north east.
• Linthorpe road you'll find one but dont go to no pizza shop there turd and un healthy too. Go to toby cavern for a nice carvery or go to central park for a nice meal.
• Isn't it always worrying how you can still get a takeway pizza for under £2. What do they put in them.
• the bite inn two for one pizza's with an NUS card next door Marios 16" pizza for £6
• I WAS SHOCKED TO READ THAT KHAN TANDOORI HAD BEEN FINED UNCLEAN KITCHENS. I THINK IT IS THE BEST INDIAN FOOD ANYWHERE, AND I`LL BE BACK FOR MORE.
• This is where NOT to go- Dragon City in Spennymoor. The owners just been to Hong Kong to see his family, so I think everything comes with a side order of SARS. I'd stay away if I were you.
• TGI FRIDAYS teeside park top notch
• Banana leaf is brill !
• Central park is always me fave, but fellinis and lewis's also gr8 and just tried frankie and bennies lushhh!!!!
• Linthorpe road is takeawaye heaven, dam 100s of the inbetween charity shops
• The best Italian Food shop in Middlesbrough "Touch of italy" just behind the Captin Cook shoping complex. Can be viewed on line for more info at http://touch-of-italy.com Found it about a year ago my wife had to get all the goddies i like from York but now its just on our door step. Brill you gotta go in!!!!
• Palermo on Parliament road. Fine, fine burgers.
• "touch of italy" on brentnall road, just behind the captain cook ar park, its an italian food specialists and also do specialist crafts. All of their products are imported direct from italy, and theyre are really cheap. They do over 90 different types of pasta, meats, cheeses, cakes, and also cater. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN THE WHOLE OF THE NORTH EAST, ITS AN ALADDINS CAVE OF WONDERS!!!! they are the friendliest staff, and i even got star treatment while doing a little shopping, coffee, tasters, and a real good chat, and they have a website www.touch-of-italy.com
• bor is full of them, look for the grezz on the sidewalks
• For a excellent curry you can't go wrong with Jamals, situated between The Purple Onion and Bobby's Cycles at the end of Corporation Rd. It's usualy fairly quiet, being just slightly out of the centre. The owner himself will take your order, don an apron and cook the lot within view ! Fantastic food. If you're tired of Massalas, This is a must try.
• Gi Gi's used to do nice pizza, The Bite Inn do two for one (NUS) pizzas but you will probably die if you eat them, Anywhere that does good Parmos, avoid the dreaded Fish Parmo which is no doubt as disgusting as it sounds..
• yummy, yummy, boro restaurants are among the finest in the world. Forget London, Paris, Rome, the Boro will cater for all your fish'n'dreams!!!
• Purple onion is too expensive. Biancos in Ormesby has gorgeous chicken kebabs, GOODBODYS!!!!!! BEST SANDWICHES EVER!!!!!!!!! NEAR HSBC
• McDonalds at the UGC Cinemas - shit service and they ban anyone who complains about their food!
• forget it... NEWBOULDS used to do soem fine pork products but ive deceide to go veggie and anyway that was years ago
• kfc duh!
• The Shite Inn (Bite Inn) is the worst pizza shop in the world. But a spitting double for Luis Figo works there so its wicked crack after a nite on the beer hammering him. The man is a fucking machine, he works from 5 in the evening to 6 in the morning then he is seen down town at 10 in the morning. Respect or wot. He even wears naughty green sandles as well so the quaility of the footwear is outstanding. As far as the food goes its fucking rammy the pizzas taste like cardboard, the burgers are like leather and im sure they wank in the mayo. The abuse that the lads give them is amazing but they must have the last laugh when they watch us eat the food. Europa is the fucking daddy for parmos. Also Phil Stamp the Boro player must live in there cos everytime ive been in there, he has ben eating his way through the shop.
• Parmo's are our pride and Joy - we have all the usuals but Parmo belongs to us. Sunflower chinky in North Ormesby makes a crackin Beef Curry, Tell Lee I sent you and you will get some free prawn crackers, Hee Hee (Or Barred out)
• Isaac Wilson(Wetherspoons) - Excellent food at great prices
• munchies in eston do top parmos
• If you want to wait for 2 hours for your meal after pre booking then go to the Central Park restraunt on Linthorpe Road, the waiters and waitresses never smile..
• Boro Fish Bar
• Made in Italy on Linthorpe Road, not far from the Crown. Cheap & cheerful Italian. It doesn`t seem to be very well known, but is getting busier every time I go. Great food with a very `home made` feel and always plays superb music ( Sinatra, Dean Martin etc ). I can personally recommend the `Penne Sole Mio`. Fantastic service too
• "Genuine Upex Pies" are no longer, sadly after trading for over 100 years the upex pie shop was closed in 1998 and the building demolished in 2001.
• Visit the Pekin Villa for the best chinese around what more can i say
• JOHNS CHINESE ON BEAUMONT ROAD - THE BEST!!!
• the best---Cleveland Tontine. Chippy--Lealholme crescent. Newboulds pork pies.
• purple onion, joe rigatonis, fellinis, central park all good
• PARMO ..IS EVERWERE
• Kebab Centre, Boro Pizza, Peking Villa, Jade Garden, YK Chows, Kowloon House
• Jade Garden chinese on Linthorpe rd £6 all u can eat
• I DONT KNOW WHY WE BOTHER WITH MACKERS [MACDONALDS, MACKY DEES, ETC] ITS ENTICING, THEN YOU ORDER AND START TO EAT. THEN YOU REMEMBER THAT THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN THERE YOU SAID 'I AM NOT EATING THIS AGAIN..' OH WELL. A LOCAL HANG OUT FOR THE KAPPA PATROL ON ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK. YOU CAN COUNT ON THE FAT GIRLS HOLDING A COKE AND A [LOW FAT] CHICKEN BURGER, OR A [EVEN LOWER FAT] CHEESE BURGER SANS CHEESE. I ADMIRE THEIR DETIRMINATION.
• If you are in the Boro and in need of the culinary delicacy The 'parmo' That's escalope parmesan to the connoiseur! Then you must go to the EUROPA on Borough Road. They've been making them for as long as anyone can remember and once you've tried one you just can't help going back!
• unon restraunt and boro pizza's thats the best they have to offer
• Chinese take away in North Ormesby (doggy) at the bottom of Beaumont Rd,the main man,s called John, been there years best in the town.
• The Pizza shop on Parliament rd with the huge fat bloke who drives the soft top sports car. Can anyone understand his thick teesside accent?
• The bite in does a wicked kebab - tastes brill with or without a nite out. There are tons of places who do massive sandwiches for a quid around the place
• Peking Villa is definately the best Chinese food ever and the best fish & chip shop in the town is Croft Ave in Acklam1
• Whoever suggested eating at Khans must have steel lined guts. Sadly out of date information I'm afraid. They were recently fined £30,000 at Teesside Magistates for the appalling state of the kitchens (cockroaches. mice etc. The top indian restaraunt in town is the Massala, opposite the Gazette offices. The have been voted top curry house for the last three years in a competion organised by Middlesbrough Council's environmental health department. Needless to say Khan's declined to enter!!!!
• The central park on linthorpe Rd is really nice and friendly good looking staff!
• Mojo's is fab for great food. Also try the China Buffet King situated in Linthopre village - loads to eat for £10.95 and you even get to select your own ingrediants for the main course - of course if it tastes like shit you cannot complain!
• AS FAR AS THE INDIAN FOOD IS CONCEREND YOU HAVE TO VISIT THE 3 KHANS RESTAURANTS.EACH WITH ITS OWN DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE AND MENU. GREAT PEOPLE TO DINE WITH AND HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR OVER 20 YEARS.THEY ALSO DELEVER THROUGHOUT THE CLEVELAND AREA.MOTO "NEED A CURRY?. DONT WORRY. WE'LL DELIVER IN A HURRY".
• Middlesbrough's speciality - the parmesan, an enourmouse chicken or pork burger covered in breadcrumbs and soft cheese. Go to the "Pizza Shop" at the top of Lindthorpe Rd. for parmesans with pizza toppings! GREAT
• There's a chinky in Doggy that's wicked, don't know the address.
• Top restaurants in Boro are The Purple Onion (near the Odeon) and the Mojo Cafe. Both serve top quality food in quality surroundings. Purple Onion now has a cellar bar with live music.
• Anyone who hasn't visited Roy's cafe it's a must. Roy got voted honourary member of Teesside Uni over many famous celebrities. Spot on for a good hangover cure!!!
• Internet cafe in Linthorpe Road, called the Media Cafe. Cafe, club, licensed restaurant (creperie) etc. The cafe clientele also frequent the chat rooms at both geocities and l'hotel if expats want some real time conversation.
• San Remo's for food
• Chino's Pizza Shop, Acklam Road, M'bro. Coral Bay Fish Bar, Borough Road, M'Bro does legendary greasy pizzas with free chips.
• "I worked at Skippers Lane industrial estate for 4 years and the best meat pies in the world could be had at Upex pies? Is the place still there?"
• I think Upex pies is still there, you are right legendary, we used to go from college!!!!!
• The finest restaurant in the UK is just outside Middlesbrough "The Cleveland Tontine".
• Cheap cup of tea and bacon butty, Saturday morning in the church hall of St Columbas (sort of a greenhouse inside the church), corner of Sainsbury's Car park, Central Middlesbrough.
• The BEST chinese food in the north of England is the 'Peking Villa' where you are made to feel like a long established client from the first time you walk in. Its food has only been equalled in Chinatown, San Francisco.
• A really good Chinese place is the PARKWAY CHINESE which is situated at the Coulby Newham shopping centre.
• The Bite Inn - 2 o'clock in the morning after a night on the beer, their Chili and Garlic Pizzas are heaven, espescially at only £2.50 (at least they were when I was there a year ago).
• Roy's Cafe - across the road from The Hogs Head - good all day breakfast, always busy, bit of a student hang out.
• The Cany Caff - used to be called Jesters on Borough road, they do a fried egg and bacon butty which is to die for.

  • Emmersons chip shop on Ormesby Road
  • Barnacle Bills on Linthorpe Road
