Larry's — Restaurant in England

During our initial visit to Larry's a few years back, we were met with impeccable standards – the venue was spotless, the staff welcoming, and the crepes delightful. Fast forward to our recent visit as a family of three, and it's disheartening to say that our expectations were not just unmet, but starkly disappointed.

The establishment's cleanliness has notably declined; tables, chairs, and even the toilets were unkept, with the walls near us marred by uncleaned splatters. The ambiance was further dampened by the staff's apparent disinterest and lack of warmth.

Gone were the delicate crepes we once savoured, replaced instead by overly thick, dry pancakes that bore more resemblance to the American style, served in such a disproportionate manner that necessitated additional plates. While the skin-on fries accompanying the burgers were passable, the burgers themselves were excessively greasy.

Financially, the experience didn't translate to value for money – tallying over £45 for three, encompassing a less than satisfactory latte, a can of Fanta, a fruit shoot, the aforementioned pancakes, two greasy burgers, and subpar fries. The coleslaw's potential was lost to its poorly prepared vegetables.

It's with a heavy heart we conclude that Larry's, once a cherished spot during our Seaton Carew visits, will no longer be a stopping point for us. The steep prices don't justify the underwhelming experience and noticeable decline in upkeep. A true letdown from what used to be...

If you’re in the mood for a seaside, retro food parlour straight of the world of Grease look no further than Fizzy Izzy’s.

The atmosphere here has a buzz to it and together with the decor which reminds me of an American diner. I do have to say though that the sofas are very tough and not too comfortable to sit on. They could do with adding some cushions to those and maybe adding some more options to the menu as its a little restricted.

When I was there with my partner we we were impressed by the selection of American drinks, snapple being our favourite. The ice cream and sweet selection also looked good and I urge people to give them a go. If your not too full after munching down on their food the place is connected to a bowling alley and arcade which you can get to easily through the doors to the side.

They’re open 10am to 8pm all week apart from Saturday where they give us an extra hour till 9pm. Go pay...
