The Thomas Sheraton, Stockton On Tees

I believe the regeneration on the ales in the TS had a great deal to do with a duty manager called Phil Heather, unfortunatly he has been moved on again so i expect we will see the standards drop again.

The Thomas Sheraton, Stockton On Tees

The Thomas Sheraton must be praised on the improvements it has made over the last 6 months, The quality and selection of ale is excellent, only problem is sometimes we see too many larger brews like the Directors, Old Peculier, Abbott and Spitfire. I have spoken to one of the mangers personally and he is trying to cut these down so we have more Micro beers. They have also had two ales made exclusively for the Thomas Sheraton which is good to see. Also the general cleanliness has improved. this makes for a nice enviroment.

My only down sides are like everyone else, the service tends to be quite slow, this i dont think can be contributed to the workload of the staff but more the amount of staff, as with any big business staffing is alwasy the first cut back. I remember about 6 years ago when you would have 12/15 people working a weekend night, unfortunatly now they have about 6/8.

Keep up the good work all at the Thomas Sheraton

Beware entering this premises can be seen as hazardous unless you know the locals. the clique in here does not take to kindly to outsiders.

Although they have as good a selection as the Tanners Hall they are very over priced. Although the sevice is considerably quicker this is due to the volume of customers, or lack of.
If you like your ale and you are willing to pay over the odds then this is the place for you.
