Devonport Hotel in Darlington

Lovely tasty quality food. Not your usual pub grub at all. Good service and atmosphere. We will visit again very shortly.

First time at The Devonport for bed and breakfast. We had a really good nights sleep in the most comfortable of beds and the breakfast was excellent too - top marks team Devonport.

As usual a fabulous stay at the hotel. We had Sunday lunch, overnight stay and breakfast. Food was beautiful, great singers on and a good atmosphere. Can't find fault with anything. Really would like to mention the staff here, all very friendly, attentive and professional.....an absolute credit to the place. Well done, keep up the good work and we will certainly be back.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal in lovely surroundings. The staff were great and food was really tasty. Desserts were also fab with a good selection on offer.

Food and service excellent. Having had an episode where I passed out, (very hot day) the staff were brilliant and could not do enough for me. I will definitely go back

We have literally just walked through the door and I feel the first thing I need to do is pour a glass of wine and sit and write a review The service here was exceptional, the one guy in particular that served us, was so...

Birthday treat Not left dissapointed Lovely smart attentive staff Excellant service Beautiful fish lunch first class cod Even had dessert which was just as delicious Great wheelchair access Highly recommend

Went for the New Year's dinner the food was fantastic the service was excellent. The best food and service we have had for a long time

Having lived in the locality for 50 years, this was our first visit to the Devonport. We had an evening meal from the Sunday lunch menu. Everything about it was superb - food, service, surroundings, value for money - everything. We will be back, and...

Feel they need to up their game , lunch was terrible. Cold fish , chips and mushy peas , others in the party were complaining of dry turkey and stale toasted bread . Mentioned to the waiter who smiled and did nothing about it .

I've stayed at the Devonport a couple of times with work and it's always faultless. The rooms are well furnished and clean and the breakfast is lovely. I've had such good service there that I took my wife there for dinner recently when passing. We...

Always had a lovely welcome and great food. Definitely recommended. Very accommodating with menu changes.

My husband and I went for lunch to celebrate my birthday. It had been recommended to me by a friend. We received a very warm welcome from Julie who also showed us to our table. She provided menus and took our drinks order. There was...

We had dinner on a Sunday night with friends and were so pleased. When you are from out of town, it's a bit tricky to find, but well worth it. A lovely location in the center of town. The food was exceptional ... with no...

Three of us retired teachers visited Middleton One Row for a walk along the Tees and back around through Dinsdale Golf course. Having parked near The Devonport which we hadn't previously visited we thought it looked ideal for lunch and a drink. On entering we...

The Devonport works as an outstanding restuarant as well as a lovely friendly local pub. Staff are brilliant, alaways friendly and helpful.

Had a great weekend staying in one of the 2 rooms we booked with friends the rooms are done to a high standard lovely comfy bed and bedding and clean We were over looking the green at the front.we booked for evening meal the food...

Went with some friends for Sunday lunch. Choices were a bit restricted - four starters and four desserts with, I think three roasts and a couple of other dishes. The food was good. Service was OK - nothing exceptional but not bad either, but it...

had lunch today with friends the food was fantastic the service was also fantastic. I would highly recommend it and worth a visit

Lovely restaurant in great position that had a good wide choice of dishes. Good quality food beautifully presented and lovely staff. Easy to park if can’t get in at Yarm High Street, so worth popping up the hill here! Zero Pilsner beer very nice Slightly...

My friends and I came for Sunday lunch yesterday, we hadn’t booked so sat in the cosy bar area by a roaring fire - perfect on a winters day. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive staff. The food came quickly and was delicious....

Beautiful toilets, probably the cleanest I have ever seen in a restaurant and the staff were super polite and extremely hardworking but unfortunately it was the actual food that has let this place down, curry served Luke warm, watery and rather bland, chips were like...

It’s is always nice to visit this pub which has personable staff a great menu and a good selection of beers and wine There is a very nice outside seating area and the toilets are very clean It is very handy for Teesside and Darlington

Beautiful gastro Pub with Accommodation. The bar has a welcoming open fire. Restaurant spacious, lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing. We stayed overnight and had a great nights sleep very welcoming room. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch and faultless service. It was very busy at 5 pm and just a great experience. We will be back again soon - thank you

Date day lunch with my C xxx❤️ superb food and service by Julie and team thank you! Nice to be on the other side, incredible value on the Teesside Restaurant Week 3 courses for £15!

Had a fabulous lunch at this lovely hotel and restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed, staff were polite, attentive and professional. The food was amazing, we had Sunday Lunch, superb food, beautifully cooked. Will definitely return.

First time I have been back in years. My good friend booked this for my birthday and I was not disappointed. The decor is lovely, clean, modern and relaxing. The staff were warm and welcoming as well as quick and efficient. We were shown to...

Wonderful experience both at dinner and staying overnight (fantastic breakfast included). Great food, perfect location, nice staff - what else could you ask for. Will stay there everytime from now on and can only recommend it. A special thanks to Julie who gave us a...

First meal out as a couple in a long time. I couldn't fault anything both the staff and the food were excellent. Will certainly be returning.

Stayed at the hotel and enjoyed all of the breakfasts, evening meal and Sunday lunch. Food was very tasty with good quality ingredients used. Service was very good too and all portions were ‘just right’. I can see why Sunday lunch is so popular as...

Excellent service and excellent food. The Korean pork belly was outstanding. Nice selection of wines on the list, enjoyed a Albariño which was very pleasant.

We went here today for lunch after a nice dog walk nearby. We knew it was dog friendly so it was a no brainer to choose here for a lunch stop. From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff could not have...

Called when passing. Lots of outside tables. Nice menu. We had three starters between 2 as we wanted a light lunch. Good friendly service. Nicely refurbished inside since our last visit some years ago,

Fabulous food and service again at The Devonport. Had the vegan spaghetti. Was delicious. Definitely recommend a visit here

Went this evening with my hubby. The food was amazing and the place is stunning. The staff were great and attentive. Well worth visiting

My husband and I visited on Thursday evening at 20:35 ordered drinks and asked to order food. The waiter returned with our drinks at 20:43 and said we couldn’t order food as the kitchen was closing. We have eaten numerous times and you have always...

Called into the Devonport by chance as it was a lovely early evening. Decided to have a meal , we were told we needed to free up the table by 7pm it was only 5.45 so this wasn’t a problem . My wife had the...

Enjoyed a lovely lunch in the sun last week. Friends and I sat in the attractive seating area outside. Two of us had the Sri Lankan Chicken Curry, which was very enjoyable with not particularly large portions, which suited us. Very pleasant well trained staff,...

Enjoyed every thing stayed the night rooms were beautiful food was good and staff very pleasant served in a lovely setting

First time at this venue. Although building work going on next door this did not impact anything inside. The place is very well decorated in the usual attractive gastro pub style. I asked for a window table away from servery / toilets. 1 out of...

The decor is modern and immaculate throughout. Our room was spacious with a big comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. The food was delicious with a varied and interesting menu and generous servings. Members of staff are young, dynamic and very pleasant, working efficiently and professionally....

Its like they have not been shut, great Sunday lunch, great atmosphere, lovely team. Support hospitality - write a review if things were great. Keep up the great work, that beef was divine

Last minute lunch, outside! Service was very friendly and welcoming! Fish n chips were great! Will come again when it’s open fully!

Second time at The Devonport in as many weeks. Exceptional service both times and brilliant food. I will be back again!

The investment in outdoor dining has been a risk, but one well worth taking for the Devonport. We’ve visited twice in the last month, and we will continue to visit and dine here in the future! The food is great, especially the hot smoked salmon...

I visited The Devonport yesterday evening with friends and stayed overnight in the rooms above the pub. What a fantastic place. The food was fresh and delicious, the staff were extremely friendly and the rooms were comfortable and beautifully furnished. Sadly, I am not in...

Always liked the location and the place was adequately spaced for social distancing. A nice ambience helped by friendly and attentive but not intrusive staff. The magnificent seven is great value at seven pounds and a great variety of mains. We had the chorizo &...

Had several lunches at the Devonport. Always very good food and service. Outside seating area is fabulous!

Lovely place but very poor service! We have been here post lockdown and the food, service etc was very good. This time however it was very disappointing. The menu was obviously limited, which is understandable. But the food quality was very bad. The Thai green...

Maybe it’s the sunshine, maybe it’s being outside, maybe it’s the pleasantness of staff. Maybe it’s non of these but a visit to the Devonport at Middleton one row rarely disappoints. An outside table with a Beer/wine starter, fish & chips/Moroccan Veg tangible and coffee...

Called in for lunch from a walk around the area, was great that the weather was such we could sit outside. We were served promptly and looked after well given these difficult times. We ate of the £7/menu where there was 7 meals to choose...

Couldn’t fault the food, everything cooked and served perfectly. Good and fast service. Only minus was don’t like service charges added to bill.

We arrived for lunch and were shown to our table. The atmosphere was vibrant and service good. We choose our food from a set menu, 3 courses for £20, (£10 with the current ‘eat out to help out’) The menu had three options for each...

We booked a table one week in advance owing to the busy period brought about by the government 50% off incentive during August. We did the same the week before in a nearby restaurant and really enjoyed it! Unfortunately the Devonport didn't deliver on 'food...

First meal out since lockdown, we were very comfortable, as tables were very well spaced out. Everything was run like clockwork, the food was great as usual. 10 percent service charge is added automatically to the bill, dont seem to remember this being done in...

Booked a table over the telephone for a Friday night hoping to get the fish and chip offer, as stated on their website. Unfortunately when we arrived the menu, already on the table, was significantly reduced with only a handful of main courses to choose...

During lockdown had a takeaway Sunday lunch roast beef and all the trimmings and jam rolypoly with custard. Good value,very tasty. Would recommend.

Great food every time , really reliable . Excellent attention/service , senior staff member noticed in passing “ poached egg” served with a starter wasn’t “soft” enough , brought an extra even though we had no complaint. Had Sunday lunch for the first time another...

Called here for lunch as the family were together for a funeral the previous day. Staff were attentive and it was so good to see the young waitress not on her phone once. The food was good and seems to be mainly made fresh. Great...

First time visitors to the Devonport. Went for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. Atmosphere was great, busy without being overcrowded. Food and service was spot on and reasonably priced . Will definitely go back again

We visit on regular intervals normally at least twice a month to eat and enjoy a few beers. Food and service are always excellent. Look out for the classic car nights First Wednesday of the month from May. Great outdoor seating area in the warmer...

Fabulous overnight stay that I could not fault. Staff very helpful. Very well appointed/decorated room. Shower & bed really good quality. Evening meal & breakfast were excellent. Highly recommended.

Really nice venue, lovely ambience with a well set out Restaurant and Bar area. The Bar is dog friendly along with the first two tables in the Restaurant. The staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient and we could not have faulted the service. There's...

went on Tuesday as it was steak night 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £ 35.00 great value for money it is a must to go

Stayed over for one night, room was very comfortable and spotless. Evening meal was lovely and breakfast equally as nice. Staff were very friendly. would recommend. Great value at £120

Gorgeous place, the decor, the ambience, the service, the Prosecco, the food... all fantastic. Well worth a visit. The only reason we marked it down one star was because we felt the dessert portion sizes were small...just a touch more and it would have been...

Visited today for restaurant week - 3 courses for £15. Good value for the price and tasty too. But being super critical - as usual - my comments are.....The fishcake starter wasn’t served with tomato and spinach as stated on the menu. It came with...

We came here as we had been given it as a gift. We most certainly will be back. The area looks very nice ,The room we stayed in was a very nice size & beautiful bathroom very modern. Very comfortable bed & we slept well,...

Waited nearly 2 hours for food to arrive. Food was poorly presented, small portions and mostly tasteless. Waitress did keep a smile on her face and kept asking if we wanted to order more drinks ~ it was obvious she was trying hard but the...

We have eaten here several times now & it is always very good food, Sunday Lunch has been especially good. We also had a Birthday meal with the family lots of choice on the menu for everybody, would recommend it.

We called in for Sunday lunch ... 6 in the party along with two dogs .... sat in the snug (where dogs are welcomed) the food was excellent and the atmosphere was superb. Could not recommend this place enough

Heard good things so took the family for Sunday lunch, booked online and confirmed as you do in places where tables are sort after. The decor really looks great I think they must have invested a pretty penny. On entering we were slow to get...

Lovely atmosphere with open fires and friendly staff. Great food reasonably priced. An absolute gem of a place. Halloumi salad starter was excellent and next time I will have a full sized fish because it was so good.

Stopped here for a cuppa at the end of a long dogwalk. Although January we sat chose to walk outside in an area which was also used by several others. Staff were all great--smiles go a long way! As it was late morning we decided...

We had a family meet up at the Devonport yesterday staff very welcoming especially Julie food delicious.the hotel is warm and cosy.i certainly would recommend and hopefully have our get together here next year. Thankyou Anne Frith

We had lunch at the Devonport yesterday,what a super place,very smart but cosy,with an upmarket feel.The Christmas decorations very tasteful,complimented by an open fire.The restaurant was buzzing with virtually all tables occupied.Professional service from the staff,very attentive.The food offer was gastropub,beautifully presented,a comprehensive selection,with blackboard...

This was the second time I have been and the food was just as good. We went mid week, it was busy but service was quick and no hold ups. Would recommend to all ages.

Well, what can I say. Even having checked out I emailed to confirm what we spent was correct as staying Sunday night with dinner, wine, live jazz and breakfast is really fantastic for 99£ a couple. Very inviting, clean interior, in different areas, real fires,...

We were recommended to come here so decided to celebrate our daughters birthday. The service was extremely slow -55 minutes from our order to food on the table. Whilst the food was tasty, my husband had a chicken Kiev which was tiny. I had the...

Lunchtime, fantastic food very reasonably priced. As my wife had broken her ankle and leg she was in a wheelchair. Andy, barperson/waiter, made sure we gained access and showed us to our table. A very pleasant young man, friendly and professional, a credit to the...

My wife and I quite often enjoy The Bay Horse just up the road at Hurworth and have promised ourselves a visit to The Devenport since it changed management and underwent an extensive refurbishment. It is a very different proposition to The Bay Horse and...

We stayed for one night on a trip of the northeast and had a tasteful room at the front overlooking the valley. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and can recommend the beef shin suet pie and the Caesar...

Recently refurbished pub with extensive terrace and fantastic views over river Tees in picturesque village of Middleton-One-Row. Enjoyed Saturday lunch with wife after cycle ride - all cyclists very welcome. Good menu choice. I enjoyed beefburger & home made chips.

First time we went we had a sharing board for two also ordered a ptn of chips but shouldn't have bothered as there was more than enough with the delicious sharing board. Its a lovely place and the staff are really nice. Next time we...

The reviews seemed excellent. Atmosphere good. A typical gastro pub. Menu good selection and reasonable prices, especially on the wines. However from the start the service was slow. Drinks ordered and for the six of us arrived at different times. Two took over 25 minutes...

Unadventurously had the burger which wasn’t ground breaking but not terrible either. Chips were a bit standard but the service etc was very good and quick. The fish cakes were huge and another in the party really enjoyed the Mexican chicken. Lovely location, good food.

Perfect from first arrival to departure. Service excellent, room and food wonderful. Restaurant's atmosphere was great.

The Devonport is variously described as a pub, restaurant and hotel. It manages to perform the trick of being all three. It’s excellent in every way. Comfortable rooms with really great showers and everything you could need. A great choice restaurant, with a good wine...

We visited as a group of 8 on a Saturday night and booked in advance (it was very busy). It was our first visit here and I was impressed. The decor is lovely, a sign suggested it has been open (reopened?) for less than a...

Great hotel after refurbishment Very helpful and welcoming staff very polite and elpful Excellant Disabled access Food was excellant great menu lovely presentation

We, six friends of a certain age, booked this as a hotel and dinner. We loved it. The hotel rooms are delightful, beds very comfortable. We had a very late Sunday lunch, 6-30pm. The food was delicious. Breakfast was excellent. Julie, the manager and the...

A really nice meal in lovely surroundings. This is a busy well appointed, recently refurbished restaurant. It was nice to sit in the cosy bar area to peruse the menu before being shown to our table. For the real ale lovers there was a good...

Sunday lunch was perfect. Highly recommend beef. Nice glass of Chardonnay to wash it down. No room for pudding though. Lovely setting good service

Booked a room for a low key family wedding meal, 24 people. Hotel was very good at helping with arrangements, menus and table preparation. Meals were great and staff very attentive and polite. It is a shame the hotel does not do wedding ceremonies also...

Really nicely done out place, with warm atmosphere. We were in room 1 which is lovely, fab shower! But next time I’d ask for room overlooking front of building as we couldn’t open window from smells coming from the kitchen underneath. Definitely would stay again.

Very nice refurbished hotel with good food and friendly efficient service. Rooms are well equipped with comfortable beds. Only negative point for me was the Sunday lunch, chewy beef and overcooked potatoes, pity as I was led to believe the local beef was excellent. Apart...

Visited refurbished Devonport Hotel very impressed with decor and cleanliness of refurbished dining area. Good menu choices the beef shin pie was excellent and filled with meat. Had difficulty in finishing it due to the quantity. Delicious! Worth a visit

We were very impressed with the refurbishment of the Devonport which has created a light and spacious restaurant with an attractive extensive seating area outside too. Our meals were well cooked and presented and were delicious. The staff team were busy but attentive and all...

Popped in on Tuesday night for a meal with friends and our daughter and her partner. We are planning to have their wedding reception there in August and wanted to check out the food. No need to worry as all was good and extremely good...
