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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I've always liked this place, but it's not quite the reliable favourite that it used to be. Large portions but prices have increased significantly and the dishes I've had most recently are lacking taste and quality, especially compared to before. £3.40 for a small bottle of Fanta is a bit strong, also. Hopefully, it can regain it's mojo, as it's a good location with friendly and helpful staff.

What a surprise to find super quality inn, the food was excellent, service good and staff helpful and courteous. Didn't think places like this still existed. Ordered fish and chips (fish was larger than the plate), and the batter done to perfection !!! Then came the bill - another surprise - and a 10% off voucher from Ushaw historic chapels - made this an auto-visit next time we are this way

I called in on my own for a light lunch, on Monday. The staff were very nice and the service was good. The food was very disappointing. I ordered Philly steak strips in a wrap, with salad and chips. The wrap was barely cooked, the steak was tough. The salad looked limp and sad . I couldn't eat it. I ate half of the wrap, as I was hungry and needed to eat, but left the rest. The chips were good, but the rest was pretty awful. When asked if I enjoyed my meal, I told the waitress the truth. Not in a rude way. I said I'm not making a fuss, but feel you should know what I really thought about my food. She looked a bit shocked, but said thanks for telling us. I then said I wouldn't order it again. I wasn't looking for a reduction etc, but an apology was in order I thought. I never complain, but this was too much I felt I had to say something.

Visited today with a friend for afternoon tea, we had pre-ordered this and had to contact them at the last minute to say we were running late. This was not a problem and we were advised when we arrived that our food was ready but if we wanted to have a drink first they could just bring it out when ready. There was a selection of cheese savory, egg mayonnaise and ham finger sandwiches, crisps, fruit scones with jam and clotted cream and a selection of bite size cakes. The selection was lovely and just the right amount, the smaller cakes were ideal rather than a large slice. The setting was very homely and the service very good and at £9.95 each very good value for money. Would definitely recommend a visit.
