Stonebridge Inn in County Durham

In the main the food was very good although the mixed grill was apparently quite dry. What let them down was the service unfortunately. The staff were polite and friendly but didn't come to check if we were happy with the food, didn't offer more drinks and didn't offer any desserts. Had they been really busy it may have been more understandable but there weren't many customers in t the time we were eating. It would benefit the business to be a bit more attentive to customers as we didn't bother getting another round of drinks or a dessert as a result

Absolutely ridiculous I picked up a meal for 2 today the gravy wouldn't have filled a Yorkshire pudding.i am now having to cook chicken breasts and some more veg to complement our food so busy thought it was an easy option 30 pound later a load of bloody rubbish only would feed 2 toddlers absolute taking the mick well done to you guys scamming people don't know what you have got in your little tray till you have got home.... I think we have payed for your meat I used to work in a restaurant and did Sunday lunch well done stone Bridge Langley Moore bet you on a roll won't be coming back !!!!!!!

Lovely Sunday lunch at a reasonable price.

Great cosy family friendly atmosphere .. all the staff were amazing having time to care and smile even though it was a very busy Sunday Dinner afternoon

Nice place in a great old style house but the food is below average. I will not be going there again.

Lovely meal great service and value for money will definitely go back

Visted here for a wake recently..staff were amazing, worked really hard to keep everything under control when it was very busy. The spread that was put on was fantastic food was amazing and plenty of it. Lovely place xxx

Lovely, friendly, welcoming staff. The food was delicious, huge portions ( leftovers take away available ) , we were just visiting the area, but would definitely recommend The Stonebridge to everyone.

Phenomenal place. Amazing food, fabulous staff.

Went for lunch with my husband, the food was fabulous and the service excellent.

Went for a quick bite on a Sunday lunchtime. Was busy but got a table straight away then very prompt and friendly table service for drinks and food. Both came quickly and food was great for the price, so many different types of veg with the roast dinner and my son's burger and chips was huge and tastey (I nicked some of his home cooked chips). Will definitely go again.

I met my friends here for a catch up. It's a nice little place and the staff are friendly. They have beautiful flower gardens in the summer time. I've only once had a bad meal, I ordered soup and it was inedible due to being pure salt. It's not necessary to book a table but I would just in case you get there and it's full.

First visit to this place was very impressed very polite and friendly staff especially Milly who looked after us Had Sunday dinner food was amazing and plenty of everything Thankyou for a great experience

Very pleasant Xmas Fayre all homemade veg. Good atmosphere.

Extortionate prices for a pint, nearly £7 for a pint of Camden. Absolutely ludicrous

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

Went in on Friday night for a friends birthday meal and by the end of the night i was embarrassed that i had even suggested coming here. Although the place was virtually empty, we waited up to an hour for food, before we were told there was only 1 chef in by one of the waitresses. When the food came out, it was not the good quality tasty looking food we were used to. Every single meal (4 total) was either over cooked or had missing ingredients. Riley, i believe was the supervisor that night, was absolutely lovely when we asked for our food to be fixed and explained all their chefs were ill and they had to outsource chefs. He was apologetic but this didn't help with our food or the fact we had not been made aware of the wait, before we ordered. Most of it was sent back to be wasted and my group ate the birthday cake we bought in, then left. The meat feast pasta had no meat and spice, they fixed the spice but still no meat. The burger was missing onion rings and sauce, and the beef patties and chicken breast were dry and overcooked. The mixed grill was overcooked, the sharing slow cooked bbq chips had no sauce and the pork was tasteless. They squirted the sauce on after we sent it back. The pizza looked like a super market frozen pizza.

Was lost and in the middle of nowhere and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful in showing me where to go and charging my phone. Hope to visit soon as it looked very good but just want to thank the staff for being so welcoming and helpful.

Sunday dinner is unreal and the price is good 34 pound for 2 dinners and 2 cokes so for the price that is really good...

Awesome place and great atmosphere 👌 food is delicious 😋

Went yesterday with a girl in a power wheelchair and her dad the young man who worked there was very helpful help with the doors when we arrived and left food was fantastic all staff very friendly and pleasant highly recommended

Had a lovely Yorkie wrap. It was huge too, only just managed it all!

Been in a few times, so thought I'd leave a review this time. I had the Stonebridge burger, with a side of onion rings. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed my meal.

It is good to see the expansion of good service covering The Board Inn, The Stonebridge and and now The Bridge Hotel in durham, great food, and great service in and around durham.

Manager was horrible. We love the food here but he was so rude …. Ruined a good dining experience. The waiter was very polite and great at his job. Below is a photo of the manager who has no people skills. If he’s working I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. Power trip

Service was slow. I ordered Stonebridge Burger. It was one of the worst burgers of my life. Meat patties had no taste and were highly overcooked. You can't taste the burger sauce. Slaw and chips were not impressive either. Only upside was the Guinness.

Been having Sunday lunch here for 7 years , the last couple of month it hasn't been its best , but last Sunday was really disappointing, the roast potatoes are frozen , portion size was poor , meat was fatty , don't know why its slipping , ? Service is always excellent,

Always had good food here,but I can only say the last twice we've been the food was beyond poor. Tonight I had Hunters chicken, chief forgot to put bbq sauce on and chicken was still very pink in the middle. Gammon looked very nice but no onion rings and 1 very very small over cooked mushroom. Salad had definitely seen better days all brown on edges. Chips had been precooked and just warmed up. Really disappointing.

Incredible food. A gem of a pub

Was quick friendly service food was excellent a little expensive but worth it

Booked this place weeks in advance for a post wedding lunch for a group of 20. When we arrived we informed the waiter that a number of our party were running 15 minutes late and we were told that the table was only ours for an hour and a half (despite a three course menu being offered). We were also told we could only have a roast dinner, even though other guests in the restaurant were eating from a far more extensive menu. This was apparently because the Manager who took our booking had ´forgotten’ to take our preorder… The roast itself was mediocre and the same meat appears to have been served for the chicken and turkey option. There are many other pubs in the area and we’d recommend trying one of those instead.

Takeaway Sunday lunch served cold! Family birthday paid almost £90 for cold Sunday lunch. Absolutely ruined my mothers birthday celebrations. Phoned and spoke to general manager who told me this is always the case, even though last year they were served hot! Totally disgusted with the lack of service!

Great pub. Extensive food menu including kids menu, Sunday roast, fish and chips night, steak night. Friendly helpful staff with brilliant customer service. All the family had a great time.

We have been here a few times now and it is a lovely place for lunch. The staff are friendly and helpful, they have time for a chat, the food prices are great and the food is first class. We have never had long to wait after placing the order even though the times we have visited have always been busy. The place is clean and warm and tables are cleared quickly. We have tried a few different things from the menu, good pub food and plenty of it! Drinks prices are good and plenty of lager options.

Real home cooked food. Large portions and amazing quality. Highly recommend.

Have had lovely Sunday meals here, very friendly staff. They even let me use the loo before they were open and I was passing!

Decide to try out the inn , never been for a few years and it was a bank Holiday, What a bad decision, soon as we sit a waitress came up and give us our menus and then told us that half the menu was not available and no monday specials , was disappointed but decided to give it a chance , We both ordered the roast beef wrapped in a Yorkshire pudding, when it came it looked very dry and no gravy , I had to ask for some gravy , the meal was awful so dry , meat was ruined , I assumed it had been frozen and then defrosted I could still taste the ice inside it , the meal had no flavour even the vegs , my wife's was the same and the gravy did not help no flavour too , we eat half and then left food and drinks was £40 What a waste of money , it was not what I wanted , the service was not very professional, would not recommend too anyone , give it a miss , seems to me that it will be closing down soon , with substandard food , so I will not come back

Good food. Good service. Staff very nice. Only downside for me is the meals are far too big. Attractive environment. Big car park. Also street parking. Sunday dinner excellent value.best Sunday dinner in the area. You can also get a senior dinner which is slightly smaller, but still plenty big enough.

Went for Sunday lunch, excellent food, friendly staff and great service. Would recommend booking as it can be busy. Great range of food and meats

Amazing place for a Sunday roast!

Great quality food, massive portions, but very pricey.

Last time I ate here was in April and it was great. Today was really disappointing. I was told the head chef left 2 months ago which is a pity coz his food was great. I wish I had taken photos of our meals. My Yorkshire pudding was burnt and overly crispy and the staff were lovely, replacing it 3 times. The third time I said no thanks it still looks overcooked. My husband's chips were overcooked and the onion rings were dismal and oily. His gammon was overcooked. My son was happy with his pizza though it looked overcooked to me. At least 1 person was happy with their food. You seriously need to get a better chef if you want to keep your clients. Needless to say I won't be going back there for a meal. Highly disappointed after eating there for the last 5 years.

Our Sunday lunch was really nice, great flavours throughout. Thanks

Food is great service was great too. Chips were lovely

Great place Great food gotta try Sunday lunch very nice .

Driving back from Scotland every where we called sat 6pm said sry no room tables are full Drove past but there food side is not that well advertised , But said we need food so pulled in Place looked busy that was encouraging!!! Nice young girl said she could fit us in but 30min wait.. No worries were hungry I said, Within 15 to 20 mins fresh food cooked on the table (not boil in a bag Microwaved) Just good food cooked well , Attentive staffed checked we were happy Just have to shout out when the food is that good when there spinning that many table's!!! Well done

Excellent choice of meals. Decided on the yorkshire pudding wrap with chips instead of potatoes. What can I say but wow. Large wrap with beef inside which melted in your mouth. Cabbage and turnip was nice. Homemade chips were delicious with a nice jug of thick onion gravy. I could not fault it. Never had a dessert couldn't fit one in.

Lovely, dog friendly and food to suit all our varied tastes. We'll be back!

Very pleasantly surprised by the service and the quality of the food, especially the Caesar salad, well done!

Used to be very good however tonight abysmal. Garlic sauce didn't contain garlic and meat overcooked 🤮 Pity used to be a great diner.

A little slow on service today meal no to bad but the size of the yourshire pud would put any child off there meal and I am an adult having a child's meal

Quality food, lovely friendly staff that fitted us in without a booking. Fresh Sunday roast was beautiful.

2nd time here, Still the same amazing service by the lovely staff. Had the Roast Chicken Sunday Lunch with the extra large Yorkshire Pudding and the trimmings, Definitely value for your Money.

Cozy and friendly place for drinks. The food is amazing! Meat feast pizza is highly recommended.

Tried the chilli and chips , was lovely very nice ,proper chips also , great ,will be back

Booked early for a easter sunday lunch and at last minute got a unexpected guest ..rang as soon as they opened to see if could add a extra person on and the young lad who answered was very quick in answering that they were fully booked (within a second ) i explained that i wudnt mind even if they were just to pull a chair up .and again within a second responded that they didnt have a chair ..I dont believe for one minute that every chair in there was been sat on and how would he know this so quick ,customer service was shocking from him.he did not try to help or even give me the time of day . .Resulting in us having to cancel our lunch there .We eat there very often at least once a week .very disappointed as never had any problems before .

Extremely satisfied with my experience and if you order the battered haddock and chips in an adults portion, expect a sizeable whale. Wonderful lunch Would definitely go back again.

Went for a quick teatime eat . Took half hour to do our meals ...nothing special. Won't be returning

The chips are the best I've had in Durham so far. Their Sunday Lunch is incredible and the portions are more than generous for all the food they make. Great selection of desserts. Staff are very friendly and it wasn't loud like many other places in Durham are.

Regularly come here to catch up with friends and we always have “fat chips”! Very relaxed atmosphere and very tasty food at a reasonable price

Superb Sunday lunch .Great service, reasonable price and most of all superb food cooked beautifully with a great range of veg and tasty gravy

Excellent food and staff. Sunday lunch

Popped in with my dogs while out walking with a friend....had a lovely snack..Cajun chicken wrap...really tasty..will deffo be back to try more of the menu..

Food was excellent, friendly and helpful service. Our group was expected to be more than actually arrived and the staff rearranged a table for us without any issues.

Lager is far to dear £5.25 a pint

Had the Christmas fayre.. Really nice and tasty.👍

The food is beautiful and all real, not that frozen food.

Nice but not cheap, especially drinks which are well over priced

The food was excellent, but the drinks were a bit pricey, but for a special night out so what. Will be back for another visit.

Great food and outstanding service, we were made to feel very welcome.

Great pub, great food and always friendly staff.

Only popped in briefly for a couple of beers, great beer and friendly service and pub.👍🍺

Nice late lunch, 2 meals £20. A typical traditional pub.

Yorkshire pudding wrap was amazing

The standard is good pub quality, nothing too exciting but all the main options are covered - burgers, pizzas, steaks. Our food was all well cooked, with decent serving size, and well presented. The downside was the level of organisation. From sitting at our table, we waited 1 hour until the food was served. I had to prompt once for the order to be taken, and once to chase our food. The excuse was that the restaurant had suddenly become busy; it didn't look like that to us (c. 20 tables, about 50% capacity). And if you're expecting such numbers as claimed, then for goodness sake make sure more staff are on shift. The actual staff were responsive and friendly, but this didn't make up for the excessive delay. Nor were we offered a discount due to the wait, e.g. a free round of drinks. In summary, it's a better than average pub, but when you book get a commitment that they aren't understaffed and that you'll be served in a reasonable timeframe.

The service is what made this a great experience. Attentive, friendly, and welcoming. We will return to The Stonebridge Inn when we next visit Durham. Many thanks to all the staff.

Big portions, nice food, great service

An excellent place for a spot of lunch! Good food, good service and reasonably priced in a friendly and welcoming environment!

Great service - a real Sunday roast machine of a pub - enjoyed food. Meet choices and veg very good - too full for pudding. Waiting staff really polite and welcoming with smiles

Really nice, friendly pub with great food that takes dogs. The menu was pretty extensive and covers both pizza/ pasta/ burgers and more unusual and interesting options. Lots of traditional desserts and I was impressed that even the custard was homemade.

Went with the wife & grandkids for lunch. Decent food & good prices.

Went for a meal on the Saturday night for the first time it was that good we went back on the Sunday and had a roast dinner fabulous

A friend invited me to the Stonebridge Inn, promising that "they have wonderful food and enormous portions. You will not leave hungry." I went there for the Sunday roast, and everything was delicious. The turkey was juicy and savoury, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the Yorkshire pudding was the best (and biggest) I've ever had. But the real highlight was the sticky toffee pudding, which melted in my mouth and was accompanied by a delicious custard. I can't speak to their status as a pub, but the bar looked beautiful and well-stocked, and the servers were very attentive, so I have high hopes. The prices are very reasonable for what you're getting, so I'm happy to recommend the Stonebridge Inn. The food is wonderful, the portions are enormous, and you will not leave hungry.

Food was very average. My bolognaise potato boats had no flavour and even my chips were very bland. Unfortunately none of us thought the food was anything other than average. On the plus point the portion sizes were large. Nice enough venue but very dark where we were sat, away from others which contributed to the lack of atmosphere.

The staff were friendly and provided a professional service. The food was delivered promptly and was of an excellent quality. A very enjoyable experience. Well done!

Really nice food, staff were warm and friendly. Would certainly pop in again

Lovely pub, service was decent and the prices are reasonable. The food was lovely!

Great staff, amazing food and good wine.

Had a great time here, the staff were lovely and the food was great.

Great pub for a Sunday lunch. Very popular too. Could do with a makeover inside to make it really stylish and establish it as a real 'go to' venue.

Lovely pub, good selection of beers, super friendly staff, and the food is plentiful and a good price. Portions were very big. Ours was delicious. I had the Yorkshire pud wrapped beef. It had a vast amount of sliced beef in it.

This was such a lovely welcoming place, the staff all chatty and friendly! My family and I had a lovely time and the variety of the food was wonderful. There really was a dish to suit everybody's taste. Will be returning!

Food was fab lasagne was best ever staff were lovely nice place to eat

Table of 7, all ordered different dishes and all couldn’t fault our food, great portion size, all tasted delicious, and not badly priced either. Highly recommend

Waited a long time for food. We weren't told of the delay until we had ordered. Won't go back anytime soon.

I had the burger and chips. Actually a fun combination with chicken too. But the burgers felt a bit supermarket TBH, so a little disappointing overall. The place was popular, and the service was slow. It was hard to catch a waiter's eye. But they were accurate with the order and smiled. The Sunday roasts looked LARGE.

It was our first visit after just moving upto meadowfield,it came highly recommended by a friend of mine,the food was excellent,i had the mixed grill and my wife had the haddock an chips wow!!! Both cooked to perfection and served up looking great on the plate.waittress and barstaff were friendly smiley and helpfull,looking forward to returning very soon.thanks guys

Nice pint and chatty locals. Guy told me about the time his wife ran off with a one legged butcher...

Not as good as I had heard .Overcharged for our meal .

We’re not from this area but had an appointment in Durham so Googled places nearby. We had an hour and a half spare, plenty of time (or so we thought) to grab some food. Long story short, there was only a couple of tables of people in so wasn’t busy. We had finished our drinks and food still hadn’t arrived. Conscious that our appointment time was getting closer, we asked a couple of times how long it would be and we’re told it was ‘getting plated up now’. Queue another 10 minutes wait and still no food, we had to ask for it to be put into takeaway containers so we could eat it on the way. Considering that we had waited just under an hour, and the burgers were £15 each - all I can say is it was a complete rip off and disappointment. The containers were opened as soon as we got in the car, portions were ridiculous and chips weren’t even hot and tasted reheated. Not good at all.
