New Board Inn in County Durham

What a wonderful surprise we had when we dined at the New Board Inn. The staff were welcoming and professional. The food was outstanding. Wish we were locals so that we could come back.

We were staying at Ushaw and this was recommend as the local place to eat,we decided to give it a try instead of driving into Durham which was probably the best desicion we made all weekend 😀 The atmosphere was very friendly from the moment we entered to the moment we left , the food was amazing and the waiting staff were friendly and very helpful. Had starters and main )but didn't remember to take pic of the starter ) and the portion size was good and the quality of ingredients top notch, definitely worth a visit if you are within at least 20 miles 👍 will definitely be back

Food was amazing portions are bit big not a bad complaint but couldn't finish it all

First time I’ve been Sunday lunch was beautiful

I’ve visited 2-3 times months apart from the last visit and every time I’ve been, the food has been absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend the lasagne enough, the tastiest dish I’ve had (except from mam’s own cooking) and I even took a few American friends here, in which they also stated the food was delicious. The service is around normal wait times you’d wait for food and in the mean time, the music is also never loud enough so you can’t hear others speaking. If you’re in the area or don’t live to far, I’d recommend a trip here and have some tasty food.

Food was not nice at all, had mince and dumplings and it tasted like some old school meal. Will not be back, and at £40 for 2 meals and 1 drink each, it's a joke.

Lovely pub with beautiful views. I've been a few times but most recently for Sunday dinner, which was lovely and very reasonably priced. The staff were absolutely spot on as well. Can't fault the place!

Decided to go here for food during a weekend visiting Durham. The food is home cooked and very tasty. The portion sizes are excellent and the staff are friendly. We had the corned beef pie, chips and mushy peas and the lasagne with pancetta, salad and garlic bread and a side of chips. Would recommend both dishes, the only small 'criticism' but it is very much a personal preference is that the chips although tasty and homemade, would be better if crispy.

I love this place.staff are always very helpful and polite.food is amazing.i would rate more stars if I could

We came here for our dinner. The dishes we ordered were quite nice and reasonably priced. We would recommend coming here for dinner and drinks. However, the desserts were less than ideal. They seemed to be microwaved, and the crumble layer was too thin.

Stopped off here for Sunday lunch. From the minute we walked in we were made welcome. A lovely wood burner so it was nice and cozy. We had the Sunday lunch. There were four meats to choose from but the pub also offered their usual menu. The waitress was lovely and brought our drinks over and took the order straightaway. The food was very delicious. It came with a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and honeyed parsnips. The other veg was mashed potatoes, cauliflower cheese and a mix of green beans, peas and carrots. We were too full for pudding. What a lovely find. Great views on offer here too. Definitely recommend.

Domingo almuerzo. Las verduras estaban poco cocinadas y demasiado difíciles de comer. ¡El queso coliflor se veía muy mal y sabía aún peor! Mi esposa tenía pavo que era gris y rodajas procesadas de mal gusto. La salsa estaba tan espesa y congelada que era difícil verterla. Esto resultó una bendición una vez que se muestreó. . Todos los productos eran de baja calidad económica cocinados por un chef de YTS ... o estoy siendo injusto con el chef de YTS? El peor almuerzo dominical para mí.

Good food, good service and great views down the valley to Langley Park. Plenty of parking. The price of drinks are high which may put people off from using this otherwise good pub.

Xmas Meal. We were served main turkey course, but had to wait a long time for the gravy. By the time we ate, food was warm not piping hot. The turkey felt like packet stuff. Starter i had the bread was stale and the pate was bland. Worse of all £3.60 for a small glass of diet coke !!

Group of us visited the food was excellent and the service was quick , definitely going back

Had two fantastic evening meals here whilst staying at Ushaw college. Massive portions making great value meals all very well cooked and presented. Staff can’t do enough for you and everyone was incredibly welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a meal here. Thank you for your hospitality.

Un barman nos habló de este lugar en otro pub local que no servía comida. ¡Qué recomendación! ¡Este pub tiene las vistas más espectaculares! Y la selección de bebidas es fabulosa! La comida es absolutamente deliciosa. Pedimos los stotties y eran absolutamente hermosos y extremadamente lleno! La carne era tan sabrosa y tierna! Nos quedamos muy contentos con nuestra pequeña experiencia de almuerzo que reservamos para venir para el almuerzo del domingo al día siguiente! No puedo recomendar más! Sin duda un punto culminante en nuestro fin de semana fuera!

The food was fantastic! Great menu choice, happy, helpful staff, highly recommended

Friendly staff. Fantastic views if you’re lucky enough to get the window seats. Have eaten a few times here and always accommodating to add or change things to meals on menu. Had turkey sandwich with home made chips on last visit which was delicious. Dogs are allowed in an area of the pub with water bowls supplied.

Main course Scampi and chips with real peas and tartare sauce was very acceptable. Staff very attentive and helpful.

A beautiful pub to visit. With views over the valleys and hills, these can be seen when you are sitting eating your gorgeous meal sitting near t he windows. Food is very plentiful and very tasty and not too expensive. I go as often as I can. A+++++

Awesome food and great atmosphere 👌 highly recommend 👌

Excellent selection and quality of food. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere Great place to eat if you are staying in Ushaw college

Recommended by ushaw house. the welcome was friendly,the food was great

Beautiful food have visited before and really can't fault any of my visits

Absolutely lovely pub, can highly recommend the muscles and pancetta tagliatelle. Great little find, will be going again,

Lovely food, friendly and efficient staff.

Excellent service, food really nice.

The atmosphere was great, staff friendly and professional. Have taken visitors 4 times and every time was a good experience

Dos visitas en una semana, salieron a comer el lunes por la noche y ambos estaban extremadamente ansiosos por regresar, por lo tanto, regresaron el martes por la noche. Personal encantador y tan educado, servicio muy rápido y se hizo sentir muy bienvenido. La comida era preciosa y todavía tenía suficiente espacio para postres, sin duda volveré

Delicious home-cooked food. The portions sizes are very generous.

Personal amable y servicial, gran selección de comida. Comidas encantadoras y las vistas son geniales también! También admite perros. Muy recomendable

Brilliant food very reasonable we ate here when a group of us visited Durham and stayed at Ushaw house and gardens . The pub is a pleasant walk about 15 mins from accommodation highly recommend the Sunday Lunch. Will definitely be back.

Spent last weekend up in this lovely part of the world for the Beamish trial, myself and some friends ate here Saturday and Sunday evening. Absolutely superb food, lovely staff and great choice of beers. I just wish I lived close enough to eat here more often.

Great food in a hill to location with a great view.

Wonderful food and a great selection on the menu.

Friendly staff. Wonderful views. Large portions. Above average food.

There was 14 of us , food and service were excellent

Only stopped for one jar, mint view, lots of nice outdoor seating for the sun and fresh air.

Great menu would recommend this place

Great pub to have a meal, with a friendly service and lovely food.

By a long way the best Mixed Grill I have ever had and I have been many places all over the world. The steak was not chewy, the pork was dead thick and juicy and the chips were perfect

Lovely pub with friendly staff and amazing Sunday roast 👌

Comí con amigos. Mesa de reserva de fácil comunicación. El personal es muy amable. La elección del menú es enorme, solo superado por el tamaño de las porciones. Buena calidad, buenas noches alrededor

A pleasant pub mealv this evening

The food was first class as was the service, lovely, friendly, relaxing family pub, well worth visiting highly recommend

food is amazing here would recommend a visit

Food was very tasty and good prices, the views make this venue staff were friendly and very efficient most enjoyable visit going back for my birthday

First thing you will notice is the views, absolutely amazing. Definitely feels spacious inside with large viewing windows, ( worth booking a window seat for food). We had two stoties which was a new one on us and quantity and taste really good. Well worth a visit.

We happened on this pub justvafter moving in to the area, and have returned several times. The variety on the menu is a delight, leaving you spoiled for choice. The items are varied and creative, taking from many different cuisines, all with a variety of flavours on the plate. Service is friendly and prompt, and pricing reasonable for what would be gourmet offerings in many establishments. Cant recommend enough! The pan fried salmon with samphire and caper mash potato has to be tasted!

Called in today for lunch with my son. Very nice welcome & a choice of seats. Table service, which was lovely. The food was amazing 👏 😋 😍. Bravo 👏

Went for Lunch with my Son. It was very quiet but the Staff are very friendly and on point as Always. Food was fantastic. This place is definitely one of my go to places

We were recommended by our B&B host and were very pleased - in fact we went back the second night! It is a proper pub with lovely views, very friendly staff and good food (be aware very large portions). Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Went for Sunday lunch, really enjoyed it, big portions all cooked well, beef, turkey pork lamb (priced extra). Loads of veg all seasonal. Definitely returning

I booked to come here with family for Sunday lunch time. First time coming here, but heard good reviews so I wanted to try it out. We arrived and got seated straight away. Friendly staff took our orders. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful when I had questions about diary free options. The food came quickly and it was hot and the portions absolutely massive. Totally delicious food. We could not eat everything but we asked to take it home and we were given a tray to take out leftovers home. Overall we were extremely impressed and I will be coming again.

Tasty food, well presented. Nice choices on menu. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Great views. Will definitely be back again.

We had a family gathering/meal for 10 people. The service was brilliant, as was the food. The mixed grill was absolutely fantastic 10/10.

It was really very tasty and the portions are huge. Steak highly recommended

We were celebrating a birthday meal here tonight- I had rump steak with all the trimmings & partner had the gammon with & all the trimmings -all beautifully cooked, hot & tasty! friendly service & spot on - didn't have to wait very long, nothing too much trouble 👍😋

Excellent location with lovely views over Langley Park. Food and service was good at reasonable prices 👌

Good food and good service spot onas usual

Lovely meal, will definitely be back

Fabulous family meal they was mixture of adults and children but all food came out red hot... Highly recommend

We had a meal here which was excellent the only thing that let it down was the seats were worn and dirty. But the view from the windows was to die for.

Wonderful and nice place for family and friends

Food and service very good, meal for two, more than we could eat at a reasonable price.

Soon filled up and service was quick. Attractions this pub has the best view around.

Went with the in-laws recently for the first time and before we had even finished our meal we were already talking about when we should visit next. Food and staff were brilliant and the view out the window is amazing. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this place sooner but glad I know it now being 15 mins away.

Well presented roast dinner for less than £14. Beef was tender, plenty of vegetables, modern interior. I would be happy to return.

Service was really excellent meals were beautiful and arrived hot and on time prices are very reasonable and the view over Langley park is exceptional 5*

Food is delicious and very generous portions. Just been for a birthday and again for Sunday dinner. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food, beware if you get a starter you might struggle to finish main and defo no room for desert! Menu is so varied it’s nightmare trying to decide what to have - you just want to try everything! Eventually settled on a Hot Shot Parmo, absolutely amazing!

Been coming here for years but have noticed the increase in the prices.

We're so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep. Food is great, staff are just lovely and the views are to die for

The prices here have gone up to astronomical levels! For a burger and chips you fork out an arm and a leg. We used to go regularly then went a few weeks ago and were shocked! The burger was awful, left most of it. Standards have dropped and compared to other food pubs the prices are just crazy for what you get. I’d not be surprised if regulars cannot afford it anymore. It’s not that fantastic to even consider it now and then for a splurge. The staff are always friendly. They badly need to renovate the toilets too. They are battered and awful. Use sone of the money on nicer loos and bathroom. There is only 2 stalls in the ladies so not a lot to do up. Much better places in Durham region. Sadly this local favourite is now off our list.

Had a lovely meal for our granddaughters 18th birthday service brilliant

Good quality food at a reasonable price. Very attentive staff.

Can't fault the service, or the food, but, the place was very cold, to the point it was very uncomfortable.

Food very nice, especially the chips, however portion sizes have shrunk & prices inflated ☹ ... an eye watering £18.25 for sizzling platter / fajitas 😳, thanks but no thanks!!! Also, £5 pint!

Only popped in for drinks after a wintry walk nearby. Eleven of us took over the corner where the log burner is. Staff were very kind and made us feel very welcome. It looked to be a nice place, to have a meal. Unfortunately none of us were in a situation where we could have done so.

We were recommended this place for our wedding anniversary meal and we weren't disappointed. The choice of dishes on the menu is fantastic and a little different from other places in the surrounding area. The portions are generous and well presented. The service was speedy and efficient.

Amazing food and service especially the chips nom nom xx

Good menu really enjoyed the salmon dish husband had the curry. A little more pricey than other restaurants around

Great atmosphere. The food is to die for 👌

£94.95 for Christmas Dinner when so many people are struggling just to survive....absolutely disgusting

Had the fish and chips absolutely amazing best I've tasted well done

Really good staff, very friendly and fast service, nice comfortable place. Food was very good and great that they serve food until 9pm Sunday evening, would definitely call again.

The food was amazing and the Porsche sizes were very filling I would recommend it if you have not been.

This place is pure class. Staff are really friendly and the service was faultless. The food is brilliant. I had ribs, blade of beef and chocolate fudge cake. The beef was insanely good as was the mash, veg and gravy.. All cooked to perfection. Shame we aren’t local as I’d never need to cook again.

Absolutely fantastic meal, excellent service, and a great choice of lovely food. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again.

A brilliant view makes the visit a must. A little bit out of town but there is a walking path or a short drive. The staff were excellent, plenty of parking good beer choices. My only complaint is I was served an old (I would call it stale and dry) reheated steak pie, not fresh and not oven heated as pastry should be. If I wasn’t so hungry I would have sent it back. Disappointing meal that the chef should have been on top of.

Menu had a good selection of food however the prices have went up quite a bit since the last time I was there (about a year ago). So will probably not go back. Used to go every other week and would spend half the amount I did today.

The food was great Aswell as the service 😋

Lovely place, so cosy and food was incredible, can't wait to go back

I had a meal here with family when staying nearby and it was delicious. The menu is huge and it was hard to choose, but everything we had was both tasty and excellent value for money, and the service was friendly and attentive. We hope to come back sometime!

This was our first visit at this pub, and enjoyed it very much. The meals were excellent, lovely and fresh , meals ordered were Mince and dumplings, and cornbeef pie, good sized portions and very tasty. Service was quick, and staff very friendly, will certainly return.

Excellent lunch with family. Good value. Lovely food. Very friendly staff. We Will definitely return.

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Diggerland for the day. Definitely the best option in the area. Plenty of tables inside and out, nice view, good food. Worth the walk up the hill and stairs.

Wonderful traditional northern pub. Very good food, served with pleasure by staff. Beer good, though selection limited.

Dined here while staying at nearby Ushaw Historic House. Lovely local pub with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Menu was comprehensive, and our meal was excellent, with generous portions at very reasonable prices. Would certainly recommend a visit.
