Persian Cottage, 2 Benson Street, Middlesbrough TS5 6JQ (01642 829 090). But it does explain the happy choice this week, of the polished gem that is Persian Cottage in Middlesbrough. Which means that the good ones, like Persian Cottage, are cracking. There are a couple of off-licences within a few minutes’ walk and Persian Cottage will supply wine glasses, corkscrews and bottle openers. A year ago, Persian Cottage topped the rankings of a restaurant review site which I won’t name because it will only encourage them.
