Overview

The Tipsy Cow sits on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough, one of those places that seems to be busy whenever you pass by. It's a pub and restaurant that does breakfast through to late evening, mixing British pub staples with American-style dishes and wood-fired pizzas. If you're local, you probably know them for their Parmos, that proper Teesside specialty that's hard to find done well outside the area. Their Sunday roasts get a lot of attention too, and from what regulars say, they're worth booking ahead for, especially if you need gluten-free options. They take coeliac requirements seriously, though it's best to call in advance on 01642 814114 so the kitchen can prep properly. The menu covers a fair bit of ground. You can come in for a full English at half nine in the morning or settle in for pizza and a pint later on. There's decent choice for vegetarians, and they've clearly put thought into accommodating different dietary needs. With over 1,900 reviews averaging 86 out of 100, they're doing something right, though like any busy place, experiences can vary.
