Mess Charcuterie And Bar in County Durham

Wow, a little gem, you really have to go here if you're nearby or you could just go out of your way! You have to give this place a try, you won't be disappointed

This is a great little restaurant in Sedgefield. Friendly smile,lovely food and a special atmosphere. We both love this restaurant.

Popped in with friends just for a cupper on a quiet Monday afternoon and ended up having food and a mocktail. Really friendly staff and lovely food. Will definitely be returning as the cocktails looked great, and the menu looked like there was a lot more to tempt me.

Great coffee and beautiful homemade scones. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly venue. I visited with a large group and all the staff were lovely and really looked after us. Looking forward to my next visit to try the food which looks delicious 😋 👍🏻

Great, friendly, accommodating staff. Good prices too. Highly recommend.

My favourite place locally for food and drinks. The Mess Martini is epic, and always a warm welcome awaiting!

Went with family on friday night we had great food, amazing cocktails, the service was fantastic. Would highly recommend

Fab venue, fab food, fab drinks, very attentive staff and reasonable prices too. Lovely atmosphere and great cocktail menu. Real asset to Sedgefield will definitely be back soon 👍🏻

Loved the atmosphere in here. Very cosy and friendly. The menu has lots of yummy picky bits. We had the charcuterie board which was very tasty. The owner has a good knowledge of the drinks and cocktails on offer. Recommended!

Boutique restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, the friendliest & most attentive staff great food & cocktails. The accompanying “bites” menu was really difficult to chose from, not the usual it’s all pretty bland but because they all sounded great, we picked 4 (table of 4) with meat & cheese boards aswell, generous portion sizes we had plenty. A real plus was one of our group asked for a cocktail not in the menu (the biscoff martini is amazing by the way!) we didn’t get the usual “computer says no” but instead they delivered without any fuss, that’s a big tick in the box. Very reasonably priced for the quantity of food.

Had a lovely meal at mess charcuterie! The staff were so welcoming and friendly especially Maddie! Who’s made a return as the owner! The mess deli board is perfect for 2, really enjoyed my evening here, love the wide range of wines and cocktails, will 100% be coming back for more, especially after hearing the new upcoming menu items!😁

A lovely little bar, I would recommend 💗 great atmosphere 🍾🥂🍸🍷

The Mess is a real gem for a lunchtime meal. We shared the charcuterie and the special sausage roll and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend.

Really lovely experience. Food was gorgeous and we were well looked after. The picture is the board we got with a couple of things missing as we forgot to photograph it before we tucked in!!

Absolutely amazing service from the staff, Sacha is very welcoming and fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere, good selection of wine and affordable prices

Brilliant place. Amazing food, drinks, staff and ambience. I recommend the seasonal cocktails, really lovely, though their wine list is great too!

Best Cocktails in Sedgefield and the staff were first class.

Absolutely lovely! The food was delicious and the staff were so so lovely :) The whole place had such a nice vibe to it so we ended up staying for another drink after the food ! We got a bite off the specials board and the meat and cheese charcuterie board which was all delicious, we will 100% be returning soon 😁

We have been visiting Mess for sometime now but December we definitely topped the number of visits (at least 10). The staff are amazing, so welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The food is delicious and the menu varies on a regular basis. We visit lunch and evening nans enjoy both. I can’t eat dairy and Sasha goes above and beyond to ensure that I always have something that I can eat.

Unbelievable atmosphere, the food was amazing and Sasha was the warmest of hosts! A must visit!

Came for a wine tasting event, both food and wine were fab, Sacha was a great host. Love it here, always a lovely atmosphere

Lovely lady serving me today, I only tried the coffee today but by far the best coffee in sedgefield, and that's coming from a coffee snob! Really friendly staff supporting my newly started beauty business by leaving leaflets. Really comfortable atmosphere and will definitely return! :)

I’ve been to Mess a few times now, and it’s one of the loveliest bars I’ve ever visited. I was concerned there wouldn’t be too many options for me as a vegan, but Mess were incredibly accommodating and made the most incredible vegan grazing board for me! The atmosphere is super cozy and intimate, and I can’t wait to visit again.

Perfect spot for a quick bite to eat after doing the Sedgefield heritage trail. Enjoyed an nduja paste sandwich in a ciabatta with a (rather small) cappucino. Friendly service and plenty of space. Thanks!

Amazing. Beautiful food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. Would absolutely go back!!! Good wine list also and staff couldn’t do enough.

Very friendly bar and coffee house. We like this little gem for Saturday morning coffee and for its evening charcuterie boards.

Brilliant experience at wine tasting! Give it a go.

Wonderful experience wine tasting and food. Definitely recommended. Food and drink delicious with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Great little wine bar. Fab service and a great atmosphere.

Great find! Highly recommend it, spoilt for choice, everything we ordered was top quality and beautifully presented.

Wow what can I say but a find, a gem of of bar!!! Amazing cocktails and food and fabulous staff. Thanks for a great night xxx

Just had a lovely afternoon eating and drinking enjoying ourselves with the fabulous Sasha best place in Sedgefield xx

Excellent food. Would highly recommend.

Gorgeous place and Sasha is lovely makes the best cocktails 🍸 and food is great too. Can't fault it.

Fab new find in Sedgefield for Me and my Bestie to meet up , food was delicious and wine selection superb

This is a new local restaurant to me, its a lovely relaxing atmosphere and the owner and staff are really friendly when we are in . They have a varied menu, including sandwiches, sharing platters and puddings . It has a licence to sell alcoholic beverages as well as teas and coffees. Would recommend a visit if your in the area

Small, but perfectly formed comes to mind. Compact, but cosy & welcoming We had glasses of wine with a cheese platter. Gluten free was easily available.

Small but perfectly formed gem, enabling great service. Sharing boards were beautifully presented and had a wide variety of meats, cheeses and accompaniments. Definitely recommended 👌

My wife and a friend of ours shared a couple of charcuterie boards with added sides of a sausage roll and pate. They were the absolutely gorgeous, in fact, so nice we had to spend the rest of the afternoon and most of the evening drinking cocktails. Sasha is such a good host and nothing is too much trouble for her and the staff. That was my first visit (my wife and her friend had been a couple of times) and we have been back a couple of times since. Best bistro by far in Sedgefield.

Great little find of a place we loved the sharing board and the cocktail menu was great. We will be going back for sure

Great place to eat and drink. Beautifully sourced food and friendly staff make this little restaurant a great place to visit.

Just had our first visit here and I dare say it won’t be the last. The service was excellent, our waitress very friendly. We had the Mess sharing platter for 2, shared a dessert and had a glass of wine each. The bill was £45. Recommended.

On a very hot day we searched for something out of the ordinary and this came up trumps. A satisfying charcuterie board and hummus. Both served with bread. Add in two refreshing mocktails and our appetites were satisfied. Dog friendly. Friendly staff. The opening times on Tripadvisor are wrong, refer to Google for accuracy.

This was an absolutely brilliant place! I came here with a friend and we got to sit outside in the sunshine with our wine and absolutely amazing charcuterie! We went for the standard charcuterie board and I have to say we LOVED the tiny sweet/sour pickled peppers and the balsamic glazed pickled onions which I would never have thought to try! 10/10 would recommend and absolutely am going back soon! Also they sell local honey which was so tasty too if you're interesting.

Excellent food and service. Dog friendly too. Will be coming back to try more of the menu.

1st time at the venue, different type of food, rather than the usual pub grub, lovely 👍

Lovely little place with delicious food and super friendly service. We even got to try some of their locally made honey- absolutely divine. Will certainly be back!

Perfect little cocktail bar which I'm reluctant to write the review they deserve for fear of us not being able to secure a table in future! We love this place so much - it's our go-to for Friday night cocktails, Saturday afternoon nibbles and antipasti with a lovely glass of Italian red. Or white. Or prosecco... Or a Sunday afternoon cheeseboard with homemade sausage roll. This is our favourite place in Sedgefield. Sacha and Maddie are amazing, welcoming and we always feel very well looked after. Make sure you find it on the map before a visit to Sedgefield and call in - you won't regret it.

Popped in for a coffee yesterday afternoon. Gorgeous place to meet and chat with a friend and unwind.

I love this place! The food is wonderful, cocktails are amazing and the staff are always friendly. 5 stars!

Another great visit to Mess Charcuterie and Bar yesterday. Easily the best coffee in the entire village, hence why I had two. I also sampled a delicious ham and cheese sandwich, accompanied by tasty crisps and crunchy balsamic glazed salad. Aside from my menu choices I spent time 'people watching', especially those enjoying the newly available desserts which looked delightful. The service provided by Lesley is stellar and something that I can make or break a visit. Lesley was extremely friendly and attentive whilst being personable and professional. If you haven't paid Mess a visit, you have to go. An independent, rustic and vibrant venue which enhances the village makeup. The last thing we need is a soulless corporate chain encroaching village space and occupying what once was a wonderful establishment. I'm yet to sample the evening vibe but this is something I will do so soon. My food didn't last long enough to take a image of, neither did the miniature chocolates that accompanied my coffee. I will be returning this weekend.

We've been meaning to eat here for a while and eventually got round to it and we're so pleased we did. What a charming place, very informal and almost like being in a friend's house. Staff very attentive and friendly. Ordered the charcuterie board, presentation and quality excellent. Although we don't have a sweet tooth, we shared a ginger pudding with ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be going back and soon.

Amazing service, great food, fantastic wine. Perfect date night out

Amazing place , great service, fab food and cocktails are fantastic.

We had lunch in this lovely restaurant today x The sharing board was gorgeous and the side of feta and hummus complimented it well. First class service from the chef and owner x Recommend reserving your table so that you won’t be disappointed. 5 stars ⭐️

Great little place in the heart of Sedgefield. Very friendly and fantastic service. Also have a bike store.

Lovely service and lovely food. The cheese, meat and wine are all incredibly authentic and high quality. Would highly recommend the cocktails or even just stopping in for a coffee💗

Best place in The North of England

A fabulous new addition to the village. The team are always very friendly and we feel welcome every time we visit. Highly recommended.

We have been here several times and always really enjoyed it, they serve a selection of starters & Charcuterie boards which are very fresh and are delicious. They have a small bar & some very good wines all reasonably priced as well as draught lagers, it's well worth a visit and one that won't disappoint.

Quality food and drink, intimate atmosphere and friendly staff. This place is a breath of fresh air.

Friendly with great food and cocktails.
