The Southfield

The Southfield on Southfield Road is a busy food-and-sport pub right beside Teesside University, with breakfast, lunch and evening food rather than just opening up for drinks later in the day. The menu covers burgers, pizzas, wings, loaded fries and pub classics, with vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten-containing choices as well. Sport is a big part of the place, with multiple screens and match-day food and drink promotions, so it’s particularly handy if you want to watch football while eating. Bottomless brunch runs regularly too, and the pub has a strong student following without being useful only to students. For casual food, live sport or a cheaper meal near the university, it fills a very clear role in the Middlesbrough list.
