"We wanted to visit for lunch with some rather elderly friends and we were disappointed that they don’t take bookings as our friends would find it hard to wait for a table. However the staff were very helpful when we contacted them on Messenger and said they would certainly have a table for us at the time we wanted, 1pm. We turned up on the dot of 1:00 and the restaurant was almost empty, so no problems with seating! The menu was varied and we all found something we liked the sound of and ordered by 1:10. There was only one lady taking orders and making drinks (non alcoholic only, unfortunately now why? and we only saw one other staff member, I guess somebody else was in the kitchen? However, although our drinks arrived fairly quickly, no food arrived until 2:00., then one order was wrong! It was quickly corrected and the food was nice, although the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was oddly sweet. But fifty minutes to produce four meals, one being a sandwich and two others which must have been already cooked, is just daft, especially when there were only about five tables occupied at the most. We really wanted to like this place, as we think it’s aims are excellent, but it really can’t expect people to return unless it can provide a better service."

I read the reviews beforehand so I was expecting more. Menu very limited, food very average. Sorry but I will not be returning.

Went here as quite a big group of friends and I couldn’t praise it enough. The food was great and the staff were more than happy to help with anything we needed. Lovely lovely staff.

Wow! I have just been bowled over by this restaurant. I had the antipasti starter, beautifully presented and the hand made hummous was a dream. The fish and chips were a revelation to this jaded palette. The fish was wonderfully fresh and chunky, coated in a light batter and served with hand cut chips and a grilled lemon slice, a nice touch.

This place is a gem! Had coffee and cake there recently. The cake was amazing. We complemented the chef! Good coffee too. The service was excellent. The lady couldn't do enough for us. The music was relaxing. The interior design is quirky with so much to look at eg upcycled furniture and industrial shelving. There are old pictures of the steel works and vehicles. Definitely worth a visit.

Looked for pre theatre eats and alighted on this because of the ethos and good reviews. Although preparing for some works parties we were made welcome and drinks were served quickly. Reduced menu cos Christmas but still good choice. We had the sharing antipasta starter which was lovely and then fish and chips for me and the famous parmo for my companion. Both were rated excellent, finished with coffee and the bill was most reasonable. When next in Mboro.........

Visited Fork in the Road with a colleague during a stay in Middlesbrough. I was blown away with the standard of service and food. Excellent shared starter platter followed by Lamb Shank for me and the famous Chicken Parmo for my colleague all washed down with a great priced bottle of Rioja. The chef Jamie and the waitress Gemma were both graduates of the Fork Academy and were just terrific. I would recommend Fork to anyone looking for a great meal that supports a great cause.

"I’ve wanted to eat here since I moved north in November and it’ll be the first of many visits from now on. Our first time here with a table for 5 and all sharing meant we tasted a big section of the menu (see images of the menu). Each of the portions was very generous to say the least. What amazed us all we’re the complex flavour combinations. They were slightly weird on some but they all worked and very well too. Alkaline Nachos £10.95 Nachos with marinated baked quinoa, topped with refried beans, cashew sour cream, guacamole, pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage. All with a smoked cashew cheese drizzle over. They were indulgent, sweeter than I’ve had before and had tangy twist too. BBQ Tacos £9.50 Shredded carrot in an alkaline BBQ sauce in a crispy corn shell, filled with refried beans and guacamole. Topped with pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage, served with a side salad. Best BBQ tacos in the north so far. Thai Buddy Bowl £10.95 Orange teriyaki chickpea tofu surrounded by, pineapple 'fried ' quinoa, purple coleslaw, a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and quinoa falafels topped with mango chutney. Crazy flavours that worked really well. This was my favourite dish and I could eat this most days of the week. I’ll be back for this dish on its own. Thai Wrap £9.95 Quinoa and peanut butter falafels in a soft wrap with mango chutney, coleslaw and kimchi served with a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and pineapple quinoa. A mental combination of ingredients for a falafel but was amazing. Again, sweeter than I’d have imagined. Pink Pitaya Acai Bowl £5.50 A fruity smoothie bowl topped with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana kiwi and coconut (we held the seeds). What an amazing breakfast. A real power breakfast too. Immunity Boost Juice £4.00 (x2) Strawberry, pear, apple and lemon juice. Refreshing and moreish. Tropical Sunrise Smoothie £4.50 Papaya, mango, orange, banana, coconut, maple and cashew smoothie. It was as nice as you’d expect and none of the fruits lost their identity due to the power of another. Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie £4.50 Strawberries, banana, peanut butter, maple and lemon smoothie. Another one that doesn’t quite sound right but really does. The peanut butter was not overpowering and provided a nice earthy grainy taste and texture, lifted by the sweetness of the fruit. A great experience and worth the wait. Would I recommend Ohhhhhh Yes"
