The charming atmosphere ranks high among what diners love about Mary Rowntree. Its cozy corners are perfect for intimate meals or quiet coffee breaks. The culinary variety is a standout feature—many rave about the authentic Thai dishes, especially the Pad Thai and Massaman Curry, which deliver rich flavors.

Beyond the food, the friendly staff form lasting impressions, enhancing the overall dining experience. Regulars often highlight their fondness for the delicious scones served with jam and cream—ideal for a delightful afternoon treat.

Most Disliked
One common concern among guests is the occasional delay in service during peak hours, primarily due to the restaurant’s popularity. While the staff tries to accommodate diners as efficiently as possible, busy times can sometimes lead to longer wait times.
Another issue noted is the limited dinner hours, as the restaurant only operates for dinner from Thursday to Sunday, which may disappoint those wishing for a late-night Thai feast on weeknights. Also, some diners have remarked on the need for more gluten-free options, seeking greater inclusivity in the menu for those with dietary restrictions. Finally, sporadic reports mention that the bustling environment might be a tad noisy during busy hours, which could detract from the serene vibe the restaurant aspires to create.

We popped in for breakfast after doing some birdwatching. We had a pot of tea each, a sausage bun and a bacon bun, all were very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The 2 breakfasts came to £11.50. We will definitely go back again. I've been back a few times now and have always have enjoyed the food. It's still good value too. The Thai food is delicious too. 😋

Just had tea and scones with jam and cream. It was delicious. We were also given a pot of hot water which was very good. It was my first time here, the decor and ambience were lovely. I will definitely come again for lunch or dinner as the menu looks great, Thai food on the menu that I will try.

My daughter and myself visited yesterday. The staff are so friendly and helpful we had Thai food which was delicious and it has wonderful views. A plus is they welcome dogs so if you've been out walking its a really lovely way to finish off. We would definitely recommend it

Food was amazing. Taste and presentation was excellent . Few issues with service, problems with manager reading order so delays, but all explained. Won Ton soup was amazing, was a large bowl we shared. Had a few drinks, reasonable prices. Will be back.

If you live or are visiting the North East, you must visit this fabulous restaurant. We visited in September 2023, staying on the Headland, I couldn't believe the interior! It's stunning, with a beautiful bar and seating overlooking the sea, awesome pink and gold sofas, in the eaves of this once church At the time we went, it's only open to dine in the evening, Thursday to Sunday, and so worth it, food is lovely, atmosphere, and staff fantastic I believe it's also open for breakfast lunch and takeaway. Please go and support this beautiful restaurant The best in Hartlepool. ❤️

Another beautiful Thai meal had. Chicken skewers/peanut sauce and duck spring rolls for starters, followed by Thai green and a Massamam curry. Absolutely 10/10

Called in on a Saturday, late morning for breakfast. Was very busy and food took a fair amount of time to arrive. Drinks arrived quickly. It was very busy but, staff were attentive and kept us up to date. Good menu selection. Good value for money. Beautiful building. Worth a visit.
