Bricks 'n' Mortar in County Durham

We’re not vegans, merely vegetarians! However it was a lovely surprise to stumble across this stall whilst on a walk around Durham. Whilst not hungry at the time, we bought some pastries and a scotch egg for later, purely because it was nice to see a trader specialising in meat free (or in this case vegan) products and not someone making a token effort. All of of our food tasted awesome and we’ll definitely make a point of visiting here to try something else the next time we are in Durham.

Ordered from the heritage cafe today Couldn’t decide what to have as there’s loads of delicious choices to be made Decided to order the chicken parmo with chips And two lots of quiche and chips And of course the sprinkle cake and custard Everything arrived piping hot and delicious Can’t wait to order again soon

Fabulous place..great food and coffee.

The quality, inventiveness and standard of food is fantastic, but for me, details like the temperature of the food or the seasoning/ flavouring is sometimes off. I visit on average 5 times a year. On some visits I come away thinking wow, on others it lacks in some areas. Experienced the Christmas menu recently which was lovely but it didnt blow me away like menus I've had here in the past. A slight annoyance is portion sizes are often inconsistent between diners, this time on at least 3 of the dishes. We all pay the same, make the portions identical please! Would like to return in the new year and support what is a great addition to the Durham food scene but I must agree with what's been said about the bins outside the entrance.

Disappointed in my stay here..bed was very uncomfortable and pillows.bathroom too small with shower screen always in way..uht milk?? Bedroom was not cleaned and tidied for our second night.ended up in hospital because of room not cleaned..carpets upto bedroom were thilthy.breakfast I had the tiniest of boiled egg that was hard and not runny.. continental breakfast was very poor.did not sleep as the bedroom doors really bang when people go in and out..very sad experience.contacted to tell them my problems no reply so hence my review.
