Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I hired the function room for my daughter’s 18th in September. The rooms lovely and the staff are fantastic!! They made sure I had full access to the room all day to come and go putting up decorations. They have their own DJ which was...not only easier than finding our own but also very reasonably priced! The bar staff are very friendly and polite, chatting to guests and making sure my daughter enjoyed her night. We had the option of providing our own food or the restaurant supplying it. We chose to supply our own due to having a fussy family, but I’ve eaten in the restaurant several times and the food is amazing! As the night was drawing to a close I started tidying away the left over food and empty plates when one of the staff members said that they would deal with it all for me so I could go back and enjoy the rest of the night. I showed them what I would like to keep and they had it all packed away for me just to collect the next day! I will definitely be using the room again in the future! Everyone I dealt with was friendly and couldn’t do enough for me. The room was clean and all the staff were brilliant. My daughter would also like to add that that the staff are really nice and a really good DJ. Thankyou all for an amazing nightMore

I love this restaurant and hadn't visited for a while so didn't know what to expect but I really should not have had any concern . From the moment we walked in we were treated like missed friends . The owner is a delight, the...staff wonderful and our food amazing. The parmo was eaten with gusto by my 13 year old and my pasta to die for . The restaurant was buzzing with friends , families and couples all enjoying the atmosphere, drinks and choice of dishes . We sat near the kitchen and the team there are like a machine, working together, making pizzas and always smiling 😁 honest I have missed my evenings here and won't stay away this long again . Make sure if your in Stockton you don't miss out . Thank you xMore

Had a function here recently, was not totally happy with the service we received. The staff were very hit and miss with the attitude and almost every one present commented on this. The vibe we were given was not at all nice and it did...in fact spoil the night. People who could legally drink were questioned as if they were doing something wrong but then later served with several drinks. It was brought to our attention at the end of the night that bottles of alcohol had been consumed off the premises on the road in front and this was brought to us as an accusation even though there were several members of the public in a drunk manner (due to the area) in front of the room that were not involved with the party. Would not recommend having a function here, did not feel welcomed at all.More

This is my absolute favourite restaurant, the whole experience is absolutely faultless every single time we visit, piping hot food, excellent fast service, and a lovely warm welcome from the owner who is a lovely man. The food is delicious and there is something on...the menu for everyone. Their garlic bread is the best I've ever tasted - they seem to confit their garlic and spread the actual cloves on the bread and it's amazing. Their parmos are beautiful, and the home made chips are absolutely next level. I can't recommend this place highly enough, definitely worth a visit!More

Came here for a big birthday meal with lots of family. Food was great but service was shocking! Inexperienced staff (all young girls) who clearly don’t enjoy their job. All looked as if they were chewing a wasp! They ruined the end of our evening...with their disgusting attitudes because we decided to order more drinks after our meal! Slouching on the till, huffing and tutting and rushing to cash the till up to prevent us ordering more drinks. Tried having a laugh with them but they continued with their hissy fits. Pathetic. Will absolutely not be returning unless you start employing people who have a bit more about them!More

We've been visiting Borges for over 20 years for meals out with the family, but haven't visited in a couple of years since before covid. The restaurant looks exactly the same! and the menu still contained old favourites - the meat kebabs which are served...with a sparkler. The menu is huge with LOTS of choice. There is a very small cocktail menu, which could be improved upon. A meal for 9 adults came to nearly £300! I think we ordered 5 starters to share and 5 desserts to share, plus maybe 7-8 alcoholic drinks plus a couple of soft drinks and a couple of coffees, so not bad value. Main meals were all around £15 each I think. For spending so much money, and possibly because we never eat out anymore, I expected something more somehow. The restaurant is very small so you always feel a bit squashed in as it is always busy, luckily this time we were up against the wall in the corner so had space to move around the high chair and for our big baby bag etc. Unfortunately the changing facilities aren't great, standard in that it's basically just the bare minimum of a changing table attached to the wall. But poor in that the changing table is in the women's toilets so not sure how single dad would make this work? Plus you're hemmed in by the large sink on one side and then a loud hand dryer at the foot of the table so every time you move you set off the loud dryer which upsets the baby even more! There's nowhere to put your bag while you're changing baby so you can grab clean clothes, more wipes etc, so I put my bag in the sink - big mistake! as did not realise tap is automatic so basically my bag was soaked through my the time I realised, so much for clean clothes to change baby into!! this is our first kid and this isn't something I would ever have given a second's thought to before, but Borge could and should really do better here. We all enjoyed our meals and our drinks, service was friendly and fast, offering more drinks but not being intrusive. For me, because of the poor changing room facilities (and an upset baby with an upset belly) this put a dampener on our evening and spoilt the whole experience for my husband and I, who were stressed by the upset baby. We had to leave early so we could change the baby properly and left the rest of the family to enjoy leisurely coffees and desserts.More

The food is lovely but we have not been for a couple of years due to staff constantly trying to get you out as quickly as possible once you have eaten we like to relax and chat after food but we were asked 3 times...if we wanted more drinks it becomes really uncomfortable and the restaurant was quiet anyway ! We will stick with carpaccios from now on who do not torture you to leave no matter how busy they are….More

I would describe Borge as cheap and cheerful, which I don’t want to sound too negative. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice, and the staff are very friendly with fast service. The food was fine, but nothing special. Given the price is very reasonable, you...don’t mind overall, but I wouldn’t say this is a place for special occasions. It was great for what we needed which was a quick bite to eat before visiting the Globe Theatre.More

Table wasn’t cleaned for us sitting down, the waiting staff came and cleaned the table however under the table was spilt sauce what the other customers had left and what hadn’t been cleaned up, we were asked if we would like to order drinks before...even been passed a menu , after the drinks arrived then they set the table. Ordered starters however our mains turned up before the starters then they were going to take our mains back when we explained we where still waiting for starters! which where probably just going to be kept in the kitchen. We decided to eat our mains, half way in then our starter turned up, ended up eating a starter as a desert! Such a disaster food wasn’t good either it was just slopped on the plate and didn’t taste nice. Waiting staff were really polite though. Won’t ever return to this placeMore

A bit disappointed. I ordered the halloumi fries which were overcooked. The main meal pollo a la crema was bland. Although the chicken was nice and tender. The waiting staff tidied our plates away whilst one of our party was still eating. Then they asked...if we wanted dessert whilst she was still eating her main meal. Don't think I'll be coming back in a hurry.More

We regularly eat at Borges and know the food is always good so we booked the function room for our wedding reception, with Borges catering the event. It was lovely to have them organise the bar staff, dj, and the food was fabulous! We couldn't...have picked a better venue. Also worth a mention, we booked the wedding three years ago but unfortunately had to cancel. We expected to lose our deposit but they said to us, if the function room was booked by someone else on that day, they would refund our deposit, which they did.More
