FRONT STREET FISH & CHIPS in County Durham

I was one of the lucky winners of the prize draw. It was delicious many thanks.

UNFORTUNATELY Cape to Cairo Shildon is closed now. Totally unexpected find in Shildon. Very interesting and different menu cooked by one of the owners who is from Sierra Leone and therefore had her own take on all the dishes on the menu. Both the chef and her husband are extremely friendly and made the visit even more memorable. We were fascinated to find that the first passenger railway in the world started outside the restaurant (which was a pub in those days) and passengers bought tickets actually in the room we were eating in. Well worth a visit and we'll be back soon

corn beef and potato pasty absolutely gorgeous much better quality than greggs

Booked a table for a late Sunday lunch. I had beef, there was plenty of it and it was delicious.

Unfortunately this pub has the potential to Be a relaxing chill area, but The clueless staff and rude owners unfortunately let it massively down. Employing younger staff maybe the pubs downside? It also might be that the brunch is limited to 5 drinks and a tiny meal that is microwaved? happy to be proved wrong on a different visit, but I’d prefer the boathouse for value for money, taste and service skills. Happy for management to show me otherwise however feel that very doubtful unfortunately. Disappointed is the best description for this pub.
