char-grill in Darlington

A breakfast as good as it gets.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Mandy and Mags at Brinkburn. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made our stay feel incredibly special. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do, and it shows in every little touch. Thank you both for making our time at Brinkburn unforgettable — we couldn’t have asked for more!

Went to meet up with family, the meal was reheated the pastry was like a brick, my partners food was cold, as for the service, our waitress was nothing short of bad mannered, after ordering a double gin she dropped the measuring optic in my glas and proceeded to fish it out with her fingers, didn't bother to wash her hands first.. when I said I'd like a fresh drink I got the answer 'it's alcohol, it's like disinfectant' the measures were also short so make sure you get what you pay for! I was disgusted, I lived this place before the new owners took over, we always had brilliant food and service... sorry that's not the case anymore

Love this place been going 18yrs which says alot. Friendly staff beautiful tasting dishes , not found anything in the area to compare or that comes close .

First visit and won’t be the last, 5 different meals, all good quality food, served attractively. Look forward to next visit.
