Leaving one star as zero isn’t an option. We booked a meal for my daughter’s birthday- us, her friend and grandparents. We waited nearly an hour for starters when they came to us and said they couldn’t tell which were the kids’ starters on the order. Kids finally got starters an hour after ordering. We’d ordered a beef stroganoff only to be told 45 minutes after ordering there was no rice to go with it so my mother in law could either have potatoes or chose something else. The waitress came back after another 20 minutes to tell me there was no rice to go with my kebab. I hadn’t ordered rice- I’d ordered corn and honey soy chips. I asked them not to bother cooking corn (we’d been in there for nearly an hour and a half and were getting quite bored) and just to bring out whatever was ready. There was nothing on the order that was right- my food came with regular fries, my mum ordered pork skewers, she got salmon and prawn. My skewers came with a flatbread (I’m gluten free) and no mayo as advertised. The food that we did get wasn’t great at all. We hadn’t even finished the food when we got told we had to leave because kids weren’t allowed in there after 9. We weren’t given the option of desserts. Various excuses of being busy, waiters leaving etc were given. Thankfully the bill was waivered because it certainly wasn’t worth paying for.

A wonderful merry Christmas Outing! We recently had our annual Christmas outing at The Keys Restaurant in Yarm, and it was an absolute delight! The venue provided an all-in-one experience with fantastic options for drinks at the bar, a delightful dinner in a private and ambient environment, and even a space for dancing – the perfect dessert after our meal. The service was impeccable; every order went off without a hitch, and the staff's attention to detail was outstanding. The team at The Keys truly went above and beyond to make our experience seamless. We'd give them 11 out of 10 if we could – bravo to the entire team! Special thanks to the team shout out to Felicity, James, Poppy, Layla, and, of course, the talented chef. The pre-event booking process was also incredibly simple, thanks to their efforts. We highly recommend The Keys Restaurant for any group, whether small or large, seeking the perfect venue. Our Christmas outing was a memorable and joyous occasion, thanks to the wonderful team at The Keys!

I took my two daughters to celebrate one of their Birthdays, her 21st. No problems getting seated and served. The server was friendly and professional. I asked if my other daughter could have a fruity cider with her meal as she is 16, the server said yes. We ordered 2 cocktails and a fruity cider, then our meal a few minutes later. We were then approached by a lady who abruptly asked for ID, I said we asked the server first if it was OK. She responded BY WHO, thankfully the server was close by who said it was her. Sadly she got told off in front of us and other customers. The server apologised to us. The food was delicious and hot. We ordered another 2 cocktails and a diet cola. We felt watched for the whole meal and this made us very uncomfortable. Then on receiving these next drinks another lady appears in my eldest daughters face and sternly asks for her ID, which she showed her she took a while checking it, handed it back and walked off. I have no problem for ID checks, it is good practice, it is the rudeness that is not acceptable . I would not want anyone to lose their licence over 1 cider. This I feel could have been handled so much better. I do not recommend this place.

Visited here at the weekend for breakfast. The service was superb and the food was really really good. It's not crazy cheap here but definitely worth paying a little more to get good quality food. Waitresses couldn't do enough, would definitely recommend. You should probably book though as it's very busy.
