A Taste Of Home in County Durham

Stopped here for some breakfast and the service was absolutely amazing and fast. The staff was very friendly and the food tasted great.

Friendly service, tasty coffee. Usual Costa snacks. Plenty of space to sit when I visited but the seating area is rather drab. Basically you won't want to spend any time other than the necessary.

After having been closed for a couple of years the pub is now due to re-open on the 31st October 2024. Greene King are saying that the re-opened pub will revert to it's former name of 'The Sportsman's Arms' (in recent years it had been named 'The Belmont'). I've given a three star (average) review as I haven't a clue yet what the pub will be like - I just thought it might be useful to post that it is re-opening soon but I can't work out how to post without giving a rating. I'm hoping to return with a five-star review soon!!

On a very busy Mothering Sunday, the staff managed to fit 7 of us in at no notice. The food was excellent.

I paid for double cheese, but there was no cheese in my sub. Very disappointing.
