Eden arms in County Durham

Stayed at the Manor Hotel over the road for 1 night and decided to pop in here for a couple of drinks. Has the feel of a proper local pub but the regulars and bar staff (Kieran was a great laugh and very welcoming) were all friendly and chatting away with us. It was Karaoke night with everyone getting involved having a right laugh. If you're visiting the area give this place a visit - you'll enjoy yourself!

Had a great night, food was excellent. Owners very friendly, staff were very nice. Will definitely be going again while here on our stay.

Awesome food, friendly atmosphere great value. Sorry about the photo, I just wanted to get stuck in! The lamb shank was incredible, falling of the bone with plenty of delicious gravy! Bar area with pool table and darts if your looking to be social. I preferred the more diner friendly tables at the other side, though there is a separate dining/function room if you are looking for something more intimate at the back. Varied menu and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

We booked a table having read good reviews and also as it is dog friendly. We opened the door and the bar tender shouted across the busy bar we must go round the back as dogs weren't allowed. Everyone in there stared as if we'd walked in with a lion, not an elderly border terrier. The rules had changed apparently in the week since we booked our table, so the landlord said he'd make a special case... We didn't feel special. The pub absolutely stank of cigarette smoke, possibly drifting in from the garden, but very heavy in the air and I did see people walking in with cigarettes alight to use the toilets. The food was shockingly bad. Stale, wilted lettuce absolutely swimming in balsamic vinegar. Soggy, nasty tasting chips, and a chicken parmo that was tough and tasteless, scampi wasn't much better and that came out of a freezer bag! We left. Possibly the worst pub we've ever been in and worst meal we've ever been served.

staying at the Manor Hotel & Spa (love this place) but knock on issues with the kitchen due to covid staff shortages (not their fault at all, and we were informed that this was so) so we went to the Eden for a meal, lovely atmosphere, great land lord & his (cook) wife, plenty on the plate for a very reasonable price, on talking to the landlord there are plans in progress to bring this lovely 'local' into the 21st century with plans to add B&B options, give it a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I wish this lovely couple and their little son all the best for the future.

Staying in in Manor House Hotel but the restaurant was closed for evening meal so went to the Eden Arms and pleasantly surprised, good local beer and a basic menu which delivered a reasonable tasty meal at a very cheap price, staff helpful and friendly,

Looked up some reviews before going. Seemed relatively ok and homely atmosphere. Spoke to a guy who was taking over. Really nice and welcoming. Ordered food and all downhill from there. Cajun chicken burned black on underside. Hunters chicken so overcooked couldn’t cut through with cutlery. Chips also overcooked and greasy. Complained and told would feed back to kitchen. Nothing else said to us and no apology from kitchen! On leaving one of the locals said ‘unhappy customers’. Too right. Not too expensive but when considered we couldn’t eat the food then very overpriced!

The pub was a bit rough, very spit and sawdust. The barmaid on duty was very good however that’s where it all ended. We were served a meal that was covered in burnt black chips. The likes of which we had never seen before, we did complain and after deliberation we were offered a free dessert which we declined. After further deliberation we were not charged for the meals, in reality it was wrong of them to serve such a disgusting meal. I would suggest that this establishment be avoided.

Had Dinner mid-week with my partner. Only a few people in and loud football on the TV greeted us , No one else eating , so atmosphere was lacking. That said the staff were very attentive and food on offer was typical Pub Grub served very well cooked at a very reasonable price. Would happily return on another occasion.

Visited the premises today. We were late about 3.45 and sunday lunch finishes at 4.00. They provided us with a lunch for four adults and a complimentary one for our grand daughter. The meal was well worth the visit and was as good as we have ever had. We thank the staff for being very accommodating and friendly.

Beautiful food and very down to earth pub, chef even came out to make sure we were enjoying food which is very rare. Kathy and her daughters were great hosts and will certainly be back again.

Early evening meal very pleasant will be back in near future . Not very busy on this occasion will try it again on a Sunday

Me and my Mam are staying in West Auckland in the hotel nearby and we came here for one night for some good old pub food. We seen a sign outside which offered 2 meals for £12 which had a good and varied selection of food. The pub itself could do with a little TLC however, the staff and food were amazing. We both opted for the giant Yorkshire pudding, which had roast dinners inside. This was 10* for the price we paid. If you're going near here definitely don't miss this place!

We called in here yesterday and had the best sunday dinner I have ever had it was amazing .I had the lamb and my hubby had the chicken .The prices are really cheap for such good quality food well done to the chef , defo be back when we are in the area .

just had a weekend away at this hotel with national holidays,hotel not to bad,a little dated but ok for a couple of nights it was clean and tidy,but what made it special was the staff,kind and friendly nothing was to much trouble for them,food was very good and a good choice on the nenu with a chefs special each night,overall a good weekend away

This is the 2nd time we've visited whilst staying in the nearby hotel. We were made to feel so welcome by all the staff and regulars. We are looking forward to returning soon. We didn't have food but what we saw looked amazing. Drinks are so reasonably priced

Had lunch at Eden arms today ordered a Parmesan the Parmesan was exquisite highly recommend this place

This is the third year running that we have visited this pub when we are on holiday as l cannot resist the siren call of the braised beef and ale pie. You also get very good portions for your money.I cannot understand the mixed reviews unless people are expecting something this establishment is not. It's a PUB with good honest food cooked properly. Its not a twee or bijou bistro, it is what it is, serving the local community, wish we had more like it. We have found the natives (joke for those of you with no sense of humour) to be very welcoming and friendly, some leaving their pony and traps parked on the green outside. The staff are nice and efficient but sometimes they get really busy. Also this year they have a pub dog, Eric, take a bow, who does not bother you when you are eating but is very friendly and has made great friends with our dog.We are going again Tuesday for the last time this year as our holiday is ending.l will go with all the good intentions to try something else on the menu ,but I bet I'll end up with the pie--SUPERB.

We often take our children to this family run pub, the prices are good and the welcome you get is extremely friendly. They make you feel like it's your home away from home, the children enjoy the outdoors and when the weather is bad you are never made to feel uncomfortable about having restless bored children inside. We have made this a regular place to visit for food as a treat for the children and they always choose it as their first choice.

This is one of our local pubs within walking distance. So it was nice and sunny and thought it would be lovely to take the kids to play in the beer garden and have a drink. HOW WRONG WE WERE!!! We arrived and got our drinks and went to sit outside to be greeted by a line full of washing drying...now I understand that people live there but wasn't expecting to see that out on the beer garden during opening time. There is rubbish blowing around all over the outdoor space....then the dog...again I understand if its the owners dog...or a dog friendly pub...I have dogs...but to let your dog out without checkig the garden first to see if there are customers there...it then proceeded to cock it's leg up the buggy!! It is also impossible to allow your children to play in the designated play area as it is covered in dog faeces...we had one drink and left disgusted never to return. It's a shame as a nice family local would be great...but sadly this is not the case....so if you want to take your kids to play outside go to the brewers fayre at least it's clean!

Had the best food and drink from there a few days ago, especially with the staff and new team member tommi, he was very polite, very welcoming and he had great communication with me and my friends, would highly recommend visiting even if you go alone, you will sharp meet some friendly faces and great teammates!

Lovely pub, great food and Eric the dog is absolutely charming...here he is! Great atmosphere, very reasonable prices and a good food choice, we stayed at the Manor Hotel across the road, but are here once or twice, really nice place.

We were staying at the Manor House nearby and called in here for an evening meal. Glad we did, the food was very good and the staff were incredibly friendly.

Excellent staff are all 100 % and Lindsey new bar member of staff was ultra friendly and perfect for this place in fact all the staff are absolutely brilliant my parents have been here 3 times now thank you for a pleasant first time stay myself :)

We visited on a trip up to Durham recently, checked into our hotel and we were starving so went to see what we could find. Found this country pub and were very pleased with what we were served. Enormous portions for low prices and so much better than chain pub food. My partner was very pleased with his gigantic chicken parmo! Really pleased and would definitely stop in again if we're in the area

Two of us went for lunch last Sunday. It was our first visit, and our last. We chose to eat in the dining room at the rear of the building. The room was neat and clean and away from the quite noisy pub bar area. The waitress who took our order was morose and just looked bewildered. The waitress who delivered the food was pleasant and welcoming. The food, traditional Sunday lunch was the only item on the menu. The food was OK but nothing special. As there were no menus we had no idea how much the food would cost. The bill was more than we had expected for a mediocre Sunday lunch. Then I decided to visit the gents toilet. If I had visited this first I wouldn't have stayed for food. The toilet seat was hanging off, There was no lock on the cubicle door. The floor was filthy, and there was a CCTV unit filming my visit! A notice on the wall informed me that this was a required police procedure. Really? Filming in a toilet? Definitely not recommended. There are much better value and cleaner eating venues in the area and they don't have CCTV in the loos!

Moved to area a few years back and started to eat through their menu.

This was horrific, we went in on a Sunday and after ordering drinks were told that they weren't doing food and couldn't think of any other restaurants to recommend. It absolutely stunk of stale fags despite everyone smoking outside. The beer garden was part of the car park and when we went and sat out, a bunch of chavs kept parking up, opening their boots and blasting music out of their cars so they could listen to it in the beer garden! If you're staying at The Manor House, I'd advise drinking in their beer garden and perhaps getting a taxi to a near by restaurant. AVOID

When visiting my Brother we always have a Sunday Lunch in The Eden Arms , It's a lovely home cooked meal with a good choice of meats . The staff are lovely and make you feel welcome and at home , I'm looking forward to visiting there again in May for a few pints and a roast.

Fab Evening Meal All home cooked food great portion size served by friendly staff Always close to make sure everything Was ok Highly recommed & will visit again Thank You

one word eat and stay fresh even take away omg I did and fish to the moon and back relaxing indeed omg

Called to make booking, easily sorted and pleasant staff.

Visited this pub for a few drinks,on entering there was a dog running round jumping up on people,then when we sat down the dog jumped up at our table(it is a lovely dog but not what you would expect) We have a caravan nearby and last season popped in quite a few times but it seems like they have a new manager and feel it has went downhill!! Don't think we will be returning.

There's not much I can put here apart from I walked in to buy me and the Mrs a drink and there was no bar staff for the 5mins I was standing there. But what also made it uncomfortable was that the locals were all just looking at me? Were they admiring my new jacket? Possibly my good looks? Or was it that I wasn't a local? Either way I didn't find out as the Mrs did not take kindly to being stared at for five minutes solid either and asked if we could go somewhere else.

We were staying over the road in the Manor house and spent alot of time in here. The Landlady Cathy hasn't long had the pub but it is one of the most welcoming establishments we have been in. Sunday night we even ended up on the Karaoke with encouragement from the locals. Alcohol prices really cheap too. We are here on the Monday night and the food was delicious,my partner is a fussy eater and even she said how delicious it was. Would definitely stay here if they did rooms..

Visited here 2 nights running while staying at a nearby hotel. Everyone was very friendly and the pub had a lovely atmosphere. Didn’t have food but the meals we saw other people getting looked superb. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and we will definitely return to try some of their amazing looking food.

Average meal made better by friendly welcome. Pub is dog friendly and in close proximity to the Manor hotel which also welcomes dogs.

Went for a meal on Thurs and had a great meal,and a surprise pudding. All staff very helpful and friendly.Good value also.

Just a quick soup and sandwich lunch. Was I tad cold but we were the only 2 in. Couple of craft beers and lagers Food was tasty

This is a great little pub. The food is lovely and the staff are great. We visited numerous times while we were staying over the road at the manor hotel.

Stayed with my husband and two friends late November. Usually at this time of year a Christmas tree is up and there are signs of festivity with decorations and music. But alas not here. The lighting is dark and miserable and could have been rectified for at least one month in the year with twinkles. The bed rooms are large, clean and warm at least and food ok. There was a singer on both nights but again the lighting is bad. The whole place lacked atmosphere. Bit disappointing really.

Called in for Sunday lunch on 17/11/18 the food was cold and poor at best, worst we have ever had

My friends and I had lunch today in this local pub. We couldn’t believe our eyes as our food was brought to the table by a girl with purple hair in a dressing gown! The food was mediocre too...

Popped in for food staff was great food was good prices not to bad although did notice Sunday Dinna seems to have jumped up in price a bit other than that a good experience and would go back

Called in for drinks as we were staying nearby. Good choice of drinks all reasonably priced. Lovely friendly staff that spent a while talking to us, A typical country local pub.

Came here in September as we were staying in the manor across the road . Friendly pub with lots of local who were very nice to talk to staff were lovely and helpful. Food was lovely and massive portion sizes drinks prices were fair . Great entertainment on the night would definitely come again

It all depends on what you want, if you’re looking for a good pint at a good price, traditional pub grub dominated by the deep fat fryer and are ok with sticky tables and carpets and cctv in the toilets then this pub will be fine. Service was slick too but we won’t be back.

This looks like a small country pub, but it is nice inside, and they do great meals. We both had Steak and Ale pie, with extras, (£14 for 2 meals) which was cooked and tasted great. We had a few pints each with the meals and we went to our hotel sated and sleepy. Well worth a visit when in the area.

Stopped for food instead of eating in local hotel and so glad we did. Very reasonable prices and food was excellent. Braised beef and ale pie was delicious, rich gravy and plenty of fresh veg. Staff were really friendly and very helpful. Plenty of beers to choose from.

Called in when passing to book an evening meal. Two guests drinking in the whole pub. Two girls behind the bar, totally ignored me. When I asked if I could book a meal one girl replied in a second and went to another room, after retuning the girl got her mobile out and continued to share notes with the other girl. Hence to say I walked out and went else where!

We went for Sunday Lunch both my partner and I had the roast lamb the food was amazing plenty of veg and a very tasty gravy we will definatley returning.

We were staying at the local Manor House hotel and popped over the road for a beer and ended up having dinner here. It was lush, I had the burger and the wife the rump steak. I couldn’t fault it and the price was good too. Nice guest beers as well. Definitely 5*

We popped in the Eden Arms on the way up to Darlington , as it was getting towards lunch time and the alternative was a brewers fayre type pub , so pleased we did , the menu is quite simple , just 8 or 9 main courses , but i had one of the best steak pies ive ever had , plus " proper " home cooked chips , my wife had a curry which was plentiful , both meals served with a smile , the pub is quite old fashioned but charming as well , we both really enjoyed it and its also good value for money .

Came in for for my lunch, staff were superb and the food was amazing, would recommend it to anyone. .

This is a great family run pub and a great vision they very helpful and the landlady is there for the community what else can I say the food is great and the staff are amazing and the atmosphere is welcoming directly you walk into the place

A family and friends do booked and paid for, the staff were rude and unhelpful happy to take our money but not supplying the service cutting of the entertainment at 10.15 which was also paid for also being told we were not welcome and their bar was mainly for locals.

My husband and I visited this establishment on 11/08/18 from entering and getting our first drink to be £10 on questioning this oh sorry it is only £6 pound odd .i could write a long review about my experience of my night in this pub .but suffice to say this is the worst run pub i have come across good luck to u you will need it if what i saw was the norm

Went for a family get together and they had double booked on purpose short changed people let otherpeople use the things that were intebded for our family use and they didnt give a damn at all What a god damn awful place we were all treated like outsiders staff were absolutely appauling would not reccomend at all

I would not recommend this place to anyone we had a family gathering as paid to use this venue. When we arrived the woman had double booked on purpose also advertised our private karaoke on her website witch we had paid for the locals even are the food we had paid for. The bar staff were more like rotweilers who stole off more than 5 people claiming when ever they were given 20 pound notes that they were 10 pound notes! Cctv in the toilets breaching people's privacy dreadful woman and staff

I was staying nearby and enjoyed a couple of meals here. Good prices and food was yummy, good portion sizes, home made chips (mmmh). Staff are welcoming and friendly. I would recommend as food is served from 12pm til 9pm and quite a few pubs we tried didn't open till 5pm. To make it even better maybe they could add sweet potatoe fries and extend the menu slightly for gluten free just being picky though try it!

Had First meal at the Eden Arms and I gave it 10/10 as did my wife , the new owners are ver nice and make you feel welcome as do there staff , this place is a work in progress as the owners have only been there 5 weeks and to this point there doing a great job I recomend a visit , I will be a regular now too.oh and you get very good portions .

Went to this well reviewed venue in order to have a family reunion with sister, brother in law and their children. All six of us arrived for a meal on Wednesday 4th July. The first thing that we were greeted with was a board outside stating their caRd machine was out of order so they would only accept cash.

We were staying in a nearby hotel and

Went on a Thursday lunchtime and it was very quiet. Food is lovely, tasty and just enough not to over stuff you. Friendly staff that couldnt do enough. Fab mushy peas lol

we have enjoyed Sunday lunch at this venue on more than one occasion and we would recommend it, they serve both traditional Sunday lunches as well as other choices from the specials board. The food is not only freshly cooked and tasty but the portion sizes are very generous as well. The service is excellent sometimes the waitresses are under quite a lot of pressure to keep up with demand but are smiling and helpful.

We stayed at the Mannor House hotel but chose here to have our evening meal. We ate in the back resturant area that was clean and warm. The food was amazing as was the service. the resturant staff and bar staff were very warm and welcoming...nothig was too much trouble. The locals welcomed us in and we had a great night chatting, drinking and dancing. The turn was also a nice touch as the muic put everyone in a party mood. We will be back and have told all of our frinds how noce the food was but how great the people are. Than you for a cracking night.......NEWCASTLE FAN MAD LOCAL you made our night as did William thank you.....see you all again. 5 stars

We were staying at the Manor House Hotel but after reading the restaurant reviews we decided to eat that the Eden Arms instead, pleased we did, the food was lovely a d plentiful. They allow dogs in too.

We called here for a meal and drink menu looked good staff are friendly and accommodating told us we would have a to wait for a table and food we did get a table quick and ordered we waited over a hour and half for one starter and the main came 15 minutes later burger and chips the burger was a half pounder was just a big lump of ground beef not much taste and some of the chips we hard we told the staff and she was apologetic and discounted the price of the starter I’m sure at other times service and meals are better but can only go on the experience we had

the food was lush and i am not a sunday dinner person but enjoyed every mouthfulgood food good value for money

Called here for a teatime meal and we weren’t disappointed.great food,service and value for money.we will definitely return.thanx to Ian the chef.lovely lad

The title says it all! We visited here after being disappointed with the food at the Manor House Hotel, and were very pleasantly surprised. This place is very much a pub rather than a restaurant, chatty locals, out of date decor and all, but don't let that put you off. The menu had plenty of choice, the food was delicious (and there was lots of it on the plate!), the service was quick, the waitress was lovely and the bill was very reasonable! We had a starter to share, a main each, a pudding each, and around 5 alcoholic drinks between us - this came to £41. We waddled out of the place completely stuffed; sadly we couldn't finish our desserts as we were so full. We are unlikely to be in the area again so sadly won't visit the Eden Arms again, however we highly recommend it to anyone.

My friend and I were staying close by and decided to give the Eden Arms a try for our evening meal. Both opting for garlic mushrooms followed by sirloin steak. Presentation was super and everything tasted fabulous. Couldn't fault it one bit. They had entertainment on during the evening which was good and the locals were so friendly. Especially Beefy, bless him. Hope you got home ok Beefy.

Having previewed the reviews for this establishment prior to arrival we pre booked for a Friday night. As we walked...

Stopped off on the way to Slaley/Hexham from Leeds. This is the perfect place for refreshment to break up a journey although would be great if in the vicinity anyway. Lovely food, good portion sizes. Had 2 meals for £12.00 being bean chilli with rice and garlic bread and gammon/egg/chips.

Have been twice two months apart and we were impressed with the high standard of the meals. Veg al dente, mains beautifully cooked and presented. This is a high standard of cooking. X

Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere. Went for tea was good tasty food with generous portions. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Reasonable priced menu. Definitely would recommend and would eat here again.

We have had a Sunday lunch and a regular meal there recently and really enjoyed the food and the real ale. Try the Road Crew brew.

Passing customer. Stopped for meal on way to Kinron. Menu very poor. Burger, ham egg chips, fish n chips. Vegetarian dish. Requested onion rings chef came to table, no onion rings but offered garlic bread. Chips dry par fried. Fish ham burger was ok. Two fried eggs well cooked. Staff friendly. Hotel looked ok but didn't go to any other areas except for bar. Toilets clean.

Good service from the staff. We ordered Fish and chips with beer and wine. The fish was great, they made it themselves. Very good. Really good potates. Worth a visit.

We went for a meal to the Eden Arms in West Aukland, and discovered that they do a two meals for £12 deal on certain days of the week. We took advantage of this offer and we both ordered the braised beef (me with Chips the wife with Veg), which together with a pint of lager for me, and a J2O for the wife came to £17.60. The lady behind the bar who served us, was very pleasant and helpful, and we were soon tucking into our meal. We were not expecting to much given the price, but were pleasantly surprised at just how good the meal was, so much so that we returned the following night to repeat the process, unfortunately the second night was a Tuesday, and they don't serve meals on Tuesdays, so we went away disappointed. We think this is a nice friendly pub that does excellent meals, and should we ever be in the area again, would definitely return to sample their food once more.

Llamado aquí para un almuerzo rápido con mi hermano según nuestros comentarios en Tripadvisor.

Well, we did our research, planned to stop there for lunch on the way up to Edinburgh but got there to find that they don't do food on Tuesday lunchtime - pity the website didn't say so. We ended up having to drive on, hungry, until we found somewhere else and were lucky to do so as it was getting quite late for lunch by then. Surely it's not too much to ask for people to keep their restaurant opening hours up-to-date.

After coming here to celebrate my late father in laws birthday i came with my partner for a 2 for £12 meal and was absolutely fantastic, staff was brilliant and food was amazing, thank you for a great experience

Stayed at manor house hotel across the way mary times and always go eden arms for lunch. It is traditional and wholesome food with a restaurant quality

Three wet days back up in County Durham, stayed in West Auckland so returned to this great dog friendly pub. Another warm welcome some of the locals remembered us (or at least our dog) from our last visits!!

We 4 ate and drank and we're merry, busy time but food was upper fast. Thank you , polite and friendly.

Living so close but never been in before for a beer or a meal. Have missed out on some great food. Had to wait a little while for our meal but then food quality is very very good, well presented and at a great price. A good selection of beers available.Bar staff and the locals were very friendly. We will be back

Had lunch here before spending the weekend at the Manor House Hotel. The quality of the food in the Eden Arms is amazing and the value is excellent. The food is homemade ( I would recommend the fish cakes ) and freshly prepared. Service is a little slow but we did not mind as the food was so good and we were a party of eight. I would highly recommend having lunch here it was also excellent value for much better than usual pub food.

Staying in the area for one night, we popped in for tea. We were made to feel very welcome, good atmosphere.food was really nice as well.

Visited the Eden Arms whilst staying in the area for a couple of nights, on our first night we just had a quiet drink, the staff and locals were very friendly and accommodating. We decided to visit again the following evening to dine. The menu was good and the food was tasty and plentiful and very reasonably priced, worth a visit if in the area.

Always welcoming, lovely food best in area, The staff are very good, will let me have a starter as a main, the whole place is a joy to eat in

Went here for a teatime lunch found the pub great and the food spot on .we stayed all night as it was Friday I know there was a singer on .was a really good night Will be black

Visited this establishment due to a stay at The Manor House. If I were to review the food it would be 5/5. The food was spot on! Pub grub- I had steak and my husband had the parmo. Compliments to the chef! What was very bizarre was that it is very much a pub for the locals. When seated at a table awaiting our food a local lady approached us and asked if she could sit with us. I told her we were having a private conversation and a romantic weekend away. She said "don't worry I won't listen!" She proceeded to pull her chair up to our table with her drink. I think we may have taken her usual spot perhaps? Anyway, when the lovely waitress come to ask us a question in regards to our food she asked the local lady thinking she was with us what sauce we would like with our food. I told her that the lady wasn't eating with us and we wanted a private table. The lovely waitress took us to a back room.If the pub owner wants to welcome new visitors from outside and take our money they need to have a handle on the locals!It's given me a story to come home with and tell my friends haha! Bizarre behaviour!

We visit here quite often. Always find the staff and regulars friendly and welcoming and have enjoyed the Friday night live music. Food is delicious and excellent value for money with some good offers being available for early evenings.

Had a meal here last night. Lovely atmosphere and staff members very helpful and nothing too much trouble. Can recommend the chicken parmo. Great meal and good value for money. Will recommend to friends
