About The Teesside Guide

A small local guide to Teesside businesses that customers rate highly, and plain-English help for the people who run them.

The Teesside Guide is a local guide to good businesses across Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, Hartlepool and the towns in between, from Yarm to Saltburn.

Every business we write about has earned its place the same way: at least 4.7 stars on Google from 25 or more real customer reviews. We check each one by hand, list them in alphabetical order, and only ever say what we've actually seen.

Nobody pays to be in the guide, and nobody can pay for a better place in it.

We also write plain-English guides for people running a business here: getting found on Google, what a website costs, reviews and the rest.
