Farmhouse Dine & Wine in County Durham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great service and lovely food. Steak night is very good value for money.

Brilliant place for family to get together. Good prices. Relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent service and quality 👌

When we last ate here they had outdoor seating, some swings and chickens in a coupe. Looking forward to returning.

First visit for sometime, really impressed, good crowd in, food excellent & service top drawer...varied menu, something for everyone to enjoy.

Got two Sunday dinners, absolutely gorgeous, generous portion

Great local restaurant with great food and excellent portions.

I had fish it was very salty with chorizo that was over cooked and dry swimming in some sort of oil with a few fried slices of new potatoes .very disappointing

Beautiful food and very atmospheric

Not impressed went early only few in, food when arrived mine boarded on Luke warm to cold service atrocious, mentioned to manager he said they were short staffed still not impressed Will not return again in a hurry.

An excellent place for a meal. I was amazed by the choice of food on offer. The halloumi fries starter was delicious and the parmo burger was delicious too. Customer service was excellent,very polite, professional and felt very welcome. Highly recommended for a meal and to bring friends and family.

Lovely quality food all piping hot. However delivery was later than expected and the cake came with ice cream rather than cream which I’d requested.

very good food and drinks! we spent lovely time there!

Amazing food, great prices, and friendly staff

Delicious food in lovely restaurant. The staff were very friendly.

Very disappointed 2 course happy hour £12 paid extra £4 for steak got several chunky chips plus steak & pepper corn sauce didn't fill half the plate on the plus side the desert was nice

first tried it during lockdown on Uber eats been restaurant unteen times so happy to seen on jst eat truly amazing am gonna cry thank you so much 🥰

excellent food , delivered piping hot 🔥

Always A Pleasure Owners, Lewis and His Staff. Today I WS Chatting to Samuel, What A Lovely Young Man

Pizzas were lovely, thin base and very tasty. Could have been a little bit hotter if anything.

Great food excellent service highly recommended gets quite busy so recommend go early to get a seat quite small but not good for a wheelchair but do have disability toilets downstairs.

I’ve eaten in the restaurant on many occasions. If I was served this in the restaurant I would’ve sent it back. Ordered 2 Parmos and they were dreadful, overcooked, almost zero sauce and topping and the fries were appaling. It’s a shame as they have previously been a lot better standard. This was just so poor. At £35 for 2 parmo & chips delivered I expected the food to be at least edible !

Has 4 beautiful meals tonight, it is the best place for a perfect meal in a nice, relaxing atmosphere. I would 100% recommend!!

They made me up the most delicious chicken salad as I couldn't eat anything on the menu and my daughter said her pasta dish and fudge cake was out of this world so they have one Happy mam and daughter defo a 5*

Lovely food and service. Really good Happy Hour menu too. X

Very disappointed with the range of beers available, one hideous IPA and a Hobgoblin. No S43 avaliable on tap or bottled. Gutted. Could be a decent venue with a better beer selection.

Just called in for fish & chips got a half lot for £7 absolute bargain for the quality honestly can't rate it high enough really enjoyed it fast friendly service

Love it here. Always amazing food and fantastic service. Usually go for Sunday lunch, it's unbelievably good! Opted for Italian food one night and it's also lovely. Large portions and hot and freshly cooked.

10/10 amazing restaurant, food delicious and piping hot, I had the pepperoni pizza, and my husband had picante pasta, which he said was really tasty. Staff very attentive, will definitely come back.

Unfortunately not writing the best review after a disappointing meal the other night. We have visited this restaurant many times before (previously branded Italian Farmhouse?). But this time wish we had booked elsewhere. A quiet Monday evening with a couple of other tables in... Yet we still waited ages for our meals only to be brought a rock solid burnt garlic bread which then set off the restaurant fire alarm. The pollo pesto which was meant to be served with tomatoes, red onion and asparagus had all of that missing from the dish - literally just pasta, pesto sauce and chicken. We sent it back and they did re-make it, as well as the garlic bread. But had to wait another 10 mins. The pasta also came back incredibly greasy and oily, but we were so hungry it had to do. I must say the staff were very apologetic and did offer free drinks as well as 20% off the bill but it's just a shame as we used to love this restaurant. I'm not sure they will be getting our custom again.

The Italian Farmhouse Dine and Wine was an amazing place to celebrate a 13th birthday The food was delicious, the part of the restaurant they privately sectioned off was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The parmo burger was delicious and the portion was huge majority of the party had only positive things to say even with picky eaters the menu had enough for everyone and the staff were happy to accommodate any changes wanting to be made. Amazing night, food and service overall and we look forward to coming back again😊

Excellent service here like always! All the staff are brilliant & friendly and go above and beyond for you (especially Lewis). They never disappoint. Food was outstanding tonight (like always) ordered a steak for Valentine’s night & we can honestly say it’s the best steak we’ve had by far anywhere. It was done to how we like it, chunky chips were perfect, mushrooms beautiful & the peppercorn sauce was the best we’ve tasted. Would definitely recommend here for food & the company.

Had my daughters 13th birthday party for 22 friends and family. The service from start to finish was above and beyond! I gave a budget and they were more than happy to arrange balloons and decorate table for us. The staff were all lovely and very attentive. The whole party all said how delicious the food was and we have some picky eaters! The whole atmosphere was fantastic we are coming back to celebrate for our next family birthday - Thank you for making a 13th a very special one - we 100% be back!

I booked a table for 2 of us we were seated drinks order and food ordered waited nearly an hour for food totally ignored rest of evening food came no apology for waiting garlic bread and chips burnt couldn’t eat bread when our table server collected plates we explained we weren’t happy with any part of food or service that we actually didn’t receive all night we were very disappointed throughout won’t be going back 👎

Lovely clean pub and restaurant. Great meal offers ,best value around . Top notch food and excellent service ,Will be back again soon !

Visited this place a few times, previously the Italian Farmhouse and I’ve only ever had one poor experience where the staff were a bit overwhelmed and orders took a while to come out, food was lovely but very slow. We visited last night and they’re now the Farmhouse Dine and Wine. Unfortunately after last nights visit I’ll never visit again. We were initially seated down the back of the restaurant close to the fire escape leading onto the playground. The restaurant is busy at this point, most tables are full and there are kids, everywhere - playing, running around screaming, in and out, in and out, in and out of that fire escape, leaving the door open, it’s absolutely baltic outside. Meanwhile the parents haven’t a clue because they’re just sat totally ignoring them, nursing a pint and allowing their kids to be everyone else’s problem. I only took this for so long before I asked to be moved tables - which the staff facilitated. We moved tables to up by the bar which was much more pleasant and I didn’t feel as though I was in a wacky warehouse. Baring in mind we had already ordered starters 25 minutes ago. We waited a further 40 before they arrived - which is a bit ridiculous considering we ordered 2 x potato skins, some garlic mushrooms and salt and pepper squid. Thankfully we didn’t wait long for mains, but again, the quality was very hit and miss, one of our party ordered a diavolo pizza which was completely cremated - we didn’t pay for this and staff were again happy to facilitate this. The rest of the food was OK but nothing I couldn’t have put in the oven at home unfortunately. The staff are all really nice and always happy to help but unfortunately after this occasion, I won’t return, it’s just not a nice environment - I’ve attended during the week before and it’s been totally different so maybe if I do return it’ll be then and definitely not on a weekend - too many selfish parents just letting their horrible kids run wild and bother every other folk. The only reason I haven’t rated this as terrible is the staff - they’re really pleasant and basing it on previous visits where we haven’t had this problem and the food is quite nice, I’d have felt rather harsh. But the staff really need to get a grip on letting people let their kids run about screaming and disrupting everyone else, leaving external doors wide open, pulling decoration (paintings and mirrors) off the walls and being a general nuisance. Also, I think they need to invest in another chef or just a more capable team if they can’t cope with the demand when they have a full restaurant - it’s a bit of a trend.

Really good food and the service was fantastic

Overall a lovely place to eat and happy to spend money here

Very Very nice highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere, very pleasant staff and food is great. Please make customers aware of what is not available from the menu before they order as it's very annoying when 2 out of the 3 courses you ask for turn out to be unavailable. This will not stop us returning though as we really enjoy visiting this venue.

I love this Italians and come regularly, However the portion of calamari I had recently was baffling.. if they had ran out of calamari that evening I’d rather have been told and chosen something else than getting scraps. It was nice regardless which is why I didn’t complain but compared to what I had last time, during happy hour, was baffling.

Lewis & the staff are great & looked after us very well a lovely Christmas dinner , great food, great service even booked up for 2024 x the beef & pork were very tender & desert was lush x thanks again 3rd year running

Can’t rate this place highly enough. Friendly, warm and comfortable environment. Staff attentive - with a special call out to Lewis in particular. Having had a bit of bad luck that day he was so kind and caring and cheered me up no end. He really restored my faith in humanity and honestly made my whole day. Absolutely love it here so family friendly and dog friendly too. So grateful to have this on our doorstep. H

Been here a few times, yet again they were able to accommodate last minute, could see that they had been busy. Good company, good food. 👍

Great venue and fantastic food. We live local so been several times in the past and always had a great meal. We went for steak night (actually Monday-Wednesday night). 2 rump steaks with sides, sauces and bottle of wine for £35. A total bargain and steak was really good quality and cooked exactly how we wanted it. Will definitely be returning for steak night again.

This is our absolute favourite restaurant, the food is amazing and the staff are so friendly. We eat here regularly and I recently celebrated my 40th birthday here too. It’s family friendly and our boys love it too, it’s always their first choice of places to go and the kids meals are excellent value. I feel lucky to have such a gem of a venue so locally. I would highly recommend for all occasions

What a venue. Beautiful food, perfect pint, warm fire and a welcoming environment. Brilliant atmosphere for me and the family

I was at the Italian farmhouse for a Christmas night out, we had a lovely meal, food excellent and our waiter Lewis couldn't do enough for us! We'll definitely be back.

What can I say? Service above & beyond. Food was presented well & really flavoursome. A shout out to Lewis, the Manager & his Staff. Those in the trade could learn a lot from observing this operation. We had a fantastic night. See you soon & thanks again for the superb customer service.

Good clean restaurant with friendly staff and great menu. Bit busy when we were there but worth the visit

We enjoyed a lovely leisurely Saturday lunch here last weekend. The Happy Hour menu is great value and quality. The service is excellent and Lewis looked after us very well. There is a welcoming ambience here and we look forward to being regulars in the future.

We enjoyed a lovely leisurely Saturday lunch here recently. The Happy Hour menu is great value and quality. The staff are friendly and helpful and Lewis looked after us very well. Great welcoming ambience and we will be regulars here.

Came here for a birthday meal! The staff were lovely couldn’t do enough for us! Portion sizes are incredible and food was really tasty! Really good value for money!

Fantastic place, we had a lovely table and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble for the staff - always a friendly smile and willing to go the extra mile - Lewis went far beyond to ensure nothing was too much trouble. Staff have always been great here, and it makes a huge difference. Fabulous food, great atmosphere and always caring staff!

Private Party. Nice food good atmosphere. Was rather busy possibly needs more staff.

This place is just amazing! Its mine and my family favourite place to go, whether its for some good Italian food or a Sunday dinner! Mind the Sunday dinners are the best I've ever had. Lewis and his team, go above and beyond! Nothing is...

Brilliant value for money and superb food.

Lewis our host was excellent 👌 our food was fantastic than you all well recommended the parmo and curry was excellent great atmosphere

Just home after a lovely evening meal with my hubby. Atmosphere was so lovely, service was Excellent and the food was Absolutely Delicious.

WOW, where to start! Food was amazing, vibes were #immaculate and our waiter Samuel was unbelievable!!!! What a nice young man, went above and beyond in every way. Only criticism is that I couldn’t stay longer ahahahaha lol😂

A very pleasant surprise! Lovely food and a great building, much larger than it looks from the outside. The pizza and lesagne were both delicious, the chips were the biggest I've ever seen and the kids loved the Nutella calzones for dessert.

Called in here for lunch and the welcoming was fantastic, seated to our table and drinks order taken instantly. 2 of us decided on the Parmos whilst another ordered the Parmo burger. All 3 dishes were very generously portioned and delicious, will definitely be back....

Would recommend this to anyone! Caters for absolutely everyone, for those with allergies or picky eaters. The food is absolutely stunning, never ate a bad meal from here. Every staff member is polite and professional and always know what they are doing. This is the...

Loved this place before the rebrand and refurbishment. Love it even more now. The Italian restaurant and food is authentic and top notch, something for everyone and love seeing a restaurant with easy to understand gluten free options (a big deal for us). The "cosy...

First time we've been since the change of name. Great atmosphere, love the new decor and the log burner in the bar is a fab addition. Staff were friendly and attentive, Sunday dinners were delicious, would definitely recommend!

First visit since the rebrand, even better! Lovely decor, great menu, plenty to choose from! Adults opted for surf and turf, delicious full of flavour and kids enjoyed making their own pizza. Will be back with the rest of the family, Italian and other cuisines,...

I visited when a group of colleagues, we all ordered from the happy hour menu. Great food and great value. To top it off the staff were excellent, very welcoming & friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning soon.

Well We've had few meals to take out and dine in here... they we're all pretty much appalling to say the least. We waited 2 hours one time for a couple of pizzas to be cooked !!! You stick to the bar like glue, which they have poorly done with something cheap and tacky!! We have Watched other people's orders come out and even seen a hair on one plate on its way past, which the customer had to mention instantly... The place looks canny like but that's all I would say for this place.. The Staff are all miserable, can't have a laugh and stand about doing nothing just talking between themselves!!... Absolutely nothing Italian about the place !!! The chefs are all English and never seen real Italian food themselves never mind being able to cook authentic Italian food like there website says !!! We won't ever be back, we gave it plenty of tries only because we're locals but never again

Lovely food, reasonable prices :)

popped in here today for a drink and lunch. we had the small haddock and chips. never seen such huge chips before! the fish was also very nice. we had a few glasses of wine and the prices were very good. we shall return. :-)

The food is still good and the service was okay.

Poor service and too many times wrong orders coming.

Want here as local to place staying for a wee birthday break. Seems the staff a very lax. Had booked the table, arrived at the appointed time, got seated, and then ordered Firstly, some items off the menu, the wife order sea bass, but it seems they never Succotash as per menu. So, it's not a real big problem. I ordered the steak pie [(or beef and ale pie as per menu) not available So I ordered the chicken wrapped in bacon. Should come with clapshot, it did not, only potatoes and chicken. No explanation nor apology Seemed staff more interested in a large group that are there. The person who took our order never saw him again. Took ages from ordering to on table. The two sitting behind us, who came in 5 minutes after us, got severed before we did Food was fine, just not as per menu, and took what seemed ages Was going to have pudding, but decided to leave, as service was terrible. Pity but can't say I would return nor recommend

Not much to look at from the outside BUT all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and desserts. Carbonara made with cream rather than eggs but DELICIOUS. Portion too large to finish. Our friend says his was the best lasagna ever! Praise indeed !...

Also known as Farmhouse Dine and Wine. Great food at great prices especially in the happy hour. Been twice this week while on holiday, both times the staff were brilliant and the food was lovely. Will definitely be back when in the area next time.

A fantastic atmosphere friendly staff, with great food and very reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone.

First visit and we will be back , excellent food and great service

This place was so bright the two staff that we saw were really nice, polite and very helpful. I have an onion and garlic allergy they made me feel like nothing was to much trouble. I give the staff and the chef 10 out of 10 👌

Had an excellent evening! We were a party of eight and everyone was absolutely delighted with the lovely food - the extensive menu had something to suit all tastes. Despite it being very busy, our orders were soon taken and delivered without any lengthy delay....

great place, nice food and the portions are big!

Food was really good, great selection available and good offers are available during happy hour. Always a good experience 👍

Visited for my husbands birthday and from start to finish the staff were amazing. Food was lovely and well presented we had pre ordered and as we're a large party and everything was as requested even the starters requested as mains. Atmosphere is fab too.

Great place to eat with family and young children. Very relaxed and affordable Italian menu.

I ordered a steak sandwich for lunch (after waiting a while for the server to appear). I was informed that the usual baguettes weren’t available so it would be toasted sour dough bread. I waited almost an hour for this meal and when it arrived the bottom piece of toast was basically a piece a greasy charcoal! It was completely black and I noticed the awful smell of it before I started eating it. I complained to the young lad serving us and was offered another meal but didn’t have time to wait another hour, so I asked him to just take the cremated piece of toast away. The small amount of steak in the sandwich was very dry also. Other people in the pub were also complaining of the lengthy wait for their food. We won’t be returning!

We booked a table for 3pm for sunday lunch got starters and drinks quickly then had to wait for and hour and half for no mains to arrive. A couple were seated after we had eaten our starters who ordered and were served starters and mains while we were waiting still. Service times were truly shocking we got up and left, wont be coming back

Great value and well prepared and presented

I was part of a large group (15) who had pre ordered food. A couple of orders were brought out, which were wrong, but they were quickly fixed. I had goats cheese pesto pasta, which was lovely, but not keen on the garlic mushrooms, was expecting them in a cream sauce rather than garlic butter. Glasses were not cleared from the table. Mainly ok.

Great place with lovely staff and tasty food at reasonable prices

Lovely food, not been there since before covid so great to see it made it through. Happy hour well timed and good for the kids. Service friendly but a little slow when waiting to order and get desserts, likely just down to how popular it is - victim of own success! Recommended overall.

The steak is the best I've ever tasted . Doesn't need a sauce . Medium to rare. Delicious . Food Menu is fantastic good choice of wines . Service excellent 👍

Food was ok ,service I thought was good ,,went on happy hour with grandkids ,,helped the cost a bit ,,need more choice on that menu pizza, lasagna,, about it ,,10 pund for two courses so ok I guess,,

Just moved into the area and fancied a pizza, rang the restaraunt to see if they done takeaways and they said yes. Ordered two pizzas and was told they would be 15 minutes. Went into the restaraunt, paid for the pizzas and was asked to take a seat which i did, right in front of the bar. 30 minutes later i asked where the pizzas were? The girl went away and came back with one pizza? I asked where the other one was and as she went to look i picked my pizza up and it was stone cold. I asked the gentleman behind the bar for a refund as the pizza was stone cold and then the young girl came back and said they hadnt made the other one 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ i said ive been sitting there half an hour and he said i know you have 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ yet he took my order and asked me to take a seat. I got a refund and needless to say i have scratched that place off the list of good places to eat. I would suggest a bit of staff training and customer awareness wouldnt go adrift.

Great food as always at a fair price. Portion sizes are perfect too. Have been here a few times and it's my favourite local place to eat.

Myself and my Husband come to the Italian Farmhouse most Sundays. My Husband loves the Parmos here. They're second to none (believe us we've had a few lol). The chips are to die for. Wonderful atmosphere, great service and good value for money. Their pasta dishes are superb. Beyond recommend this place. Could visit every day, if we could.

Food amazing, good choice drinks staff 10/10 customer service atmosphere perfect

Fantastic as always. Can't beat the food or the service. Really good vast choice of food. Nothing is ever a chore with staff. Gets real busy so maybe ring to book a table as we always do. Our go to place. Would give more stars if I could.

Lovely food. Will visit again soon
