Prickly Pear Bistro 🍐
This little hidden gem is quite literally out of this world!
Described as a ‘Spanish Courtyard-Esque’ venue that oozes a certain rustic charm and stylish interior.'
If you're a true Teessider, this is the place to quench your ultimate parmo thirst, with 35 parmos to painstakingly deliberate over! From the Dirty Deep South topped with béchamel, crispy bacon, Tennessee BBQ sauce and plenty of cheese. To the Deluxe Platter, with five - YES FIVE!! Parmos on one board including the Meze, Bacon De-Brie, The Mafia, Shawarmo and The Greek God you won't know what to put yourself or all the plates 🍽️
Their reviews don't lie either:

We got to work shooting these marvellous creations straight away, teasing poor Stuart our shoot assistant for the day with every mouth-watering meal. He made for a great hand model and gravy pourer haha, you're best to be prepared to do just about anything on set.
What they say: "We pride ourselves on delivering freshly prepared dishes to delight all our customers. Our team of chefs have designed dishes which compliment the atmosphere and embrace current trends. Our range of drinks is second to none. We have scoured the local area to find unusual offerings and stories, for an authentic selection of still and sparkling water, gins, wines, cocktails, mocktails, mockgins and minerals. We have created a distinctly different drinks menu, to provide full descriptions of everything on offer and featuring our own signature cocktail, The Pear Drop."
We have to say the staff were absolutely fantastic and a real credit to the Bistro, so if you're after incredible food, in a good atmosphere - with friendly, high-quality service you wouldn't find better :D so why are you waiting, go and get booked!
