Sunday lunch today for two. Ive had several Sunday dinners in the last year including high end establishments, and can say the food here was superb, cooked to perfection, and sufficient for the biggest appetite. Staff attentive and quick, the food delivered to our table in record time, and value for money top marks.

Honestly dont know how you can ruin a business in months. Was a regular here for years & have never wrote review about anywhere but this has never left my mind since we had our night out The food was atrocious, cold, messy & tasteless. We did complain but they were not interested at all. Drunks as you entered sat under the canopy herling abuse at each other, not nice when you have kids. Our cutlery still had the last persons food on it. Such a shame, the owners said they were not changing anything they have changed everything. Sadly i will never step foot in the place again. Be surprised if it lasts the next few months!

We have been visiting this pub for many years and tonight there was a new menu! Hallelujah! The menu is great, lots of choice and more choice than previous for vegetarians. I had corned beef pie and it was absolutely delicious, my friend had the quorn parmesan which she was really happy with. My other friends had fajitas and sausage and mash. Every meal was amazing. Even though we were very full from the meal the dessert menu was too tempting and we all had deserts! Again they were home made and delicious. I can certainly recommend the apple and rhubarb crumble with custard, yummy 😋 The staff were very helpful attentive and friendly. We will certainly be returning and advising friends to go. Thank you copper beech great food.

Last visited here back in 2006,whilst on a b11 licensing course with punch taverns, and it was good, it was part of a chain then with a tenant landlord. Today's visit proved that it has improved since then and has become an independent operation. Staff although young have been well trained and were very attentive, eager to work and ensure that the customer has everything they need. Wife had the 12oz horseshoe Gammon and it was no issue to substitute fries instead of the homemade chips. Myself I went for the barbecue bacon Parmo (this was the first place I had one all those years ago) It was excellent as were the homemade chips and slaw, we both fought to eat it all, and leave room for dessert 🍨. Berry Eton mess for the long haired Colonel, and salted caramel cheesecake with ice cream 🍦 for me. Good size portions for both. Even though they don't accept Blue light card, the bill including drinks was only just over £47. This venue has definitely made it's way close to the top of our regular dining out list.

My wife and I came here for something to eat, what a fantastic place this is. Greeted when we arrived and seated in a lovely area. Place was very clean which is the first thing I noticed. Atmosphere was perfect with people talking and socialising, ordered our food which arrived in a timely manner and tasted tremendous. Place was tidied straight after our mains before dessert, which was also beautiful. Price is incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming again soon. Great work by the owners and the staff, thank you.

Fantastic meal at the copper beech. The main member of staff who went above and beyond was Emma. Everything she did for us was 10/10 . Nothing was a problem, she was great at knowing the menu inside and out. Due to my food allergies she made me feel at ease for the correct food to order. She went the extra mile to ensure we had a lovely meal. Our meals were a great price and seeing Emma work extremely hard from the moment we arrived, till the moment we left. Our experience was lovely. We will be definitely back and to return for a pleasant meal. Emma you are a credit to the Copper Beech!!

Gents toilet not good tap only works as your pressing it so you go to wash your hands one at a time- the money they make surely just put a twist rap in rather than rubbish press taps. - also when getting Sunday lunch you have to pay £1.50 extra for a gravy boat where you go anywhere else you get it free - don’t think I’ll be coming here again

Really disappointed with our visit to this venue today. The one thing I wanted off the menu they didn't have. We went for Sunday lunch which came out quickly and was hot. Unfortunately, we had a large party behind us who just let their children run around the pub, and didn't seem to care that they were very loud and disturbing other customers, no control from parents or staff which was quite a worry when staff were carrying hot food around us. The noise was horrendous and we couldn't hear ourselves speak. Really didn't like sitting in the middle of the room. Ordered dessert but got sick of waiting for it so we ended up cancelling it and asking for the bill. Felt a bit like a cattle market, once customers left, tables were set and the next lot came in. Very popular pub, couldn't get out the front door for people waiting to be seated, but we will not return.

Saturday 13th a group of us attended and we were all looking forward to the meal. We all arrived for the booked time and ordered drinks. One of the drinks took a while so we asked again and it arrived shortly after. We then ordered the food, the starters were ok, the garlic bread looked and tasted like a £1 frozen one. The other starters were fine. The mains were OK but not fantastic. One of us asked to take it home in a takeaway box which they agreed. When paying we were told that it would be an extra £2 to take the meal home. When ordering one meal we asked if we could swap the garlic dip for a BBQ dip but was told no, it's their policy apparently. So we paid the extra £1 for BBQ sauce. One of the group wasn't hungry and agreed with a friend to share their meal so we asked for a extra plate but was told no, it's the policy. We offered to pay for a extra empty plate but still told no. We found this unusual and unfair. Drinks were OK but one of the glasses had a lipstick smudge around the rim which wasn't pleasant. Overall not a great visit, I don't think I will return.

We have been going to the Copper Beach for years, todays meals were not up to scratch. 2 of my friends are vegetarians and had the pie both said it was warm. I had a sizzling dish, it did not come to the table sizzling like it is meant to. And it was warm not hot! I did tell the waitress all I got was I will let the chef know. Last time I had a meal I also ordered a sizzling dish that didn't come out sizzling either but thought it was a one off, it seems not to be the case. If they are selling sizzling dishes on the menu at least make sure it comes to the table sizzling! Large party are booked here for xmas meal in December lets hope the meals come out hot! They need to have a word with the chef me thinks!

Called in, one adult one child for an evening meal mid-week. Was quite busy, we were asked if we had pre booked a table, and I answered no, the waitress managed to find us a table for two. Food was delivered and prepared quite quickly, so overall, it was a very efficient and speedy service. Menu prices were reasonable, too. However, the food wasn't overly great, in my opinion. They have a lovely outdoor front area, which is covered. (Didn't see out of the back). The car park was quite small and tight. Toilets weren't the cleanest, which kind of let the establishment down.

My friend and I usually dine here once a month and up until now the food has always been outstanding and the staff pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately this time it wasn't the case. When the waitress asked if everything was ok we informed her no it wasn't the chips were not fresh they had been reheated. She tried to tell us they were fresh and they weren't as good as usual because it was between potato seasons!! As both my friend and I had worked in catering for over 30 years we know what reheated chips look and taste like - so much for customer service, shame on you.

Visited this evening for my sisters 30th birthday. Service started well from a slim blond woman very attentive. We ordered. 40 minutes the food took to arrive, but fair enough a few tables were in at this time so gave them the benefit of the doubt. I had fish and chips the batter was soaking and soggy but I didn’t want to complain I just ate the fish, I think the fish has been frozen and just put in a water bath to defrost making the batter soggy and wet. My brother in law had the risotto and didn’t think it tasted of anything zero flavour. My sister told the waitress this time was an older woman the problem to be recurved with attitude.”why didn’t you you say when I did the check back” my sister replied “he was outside briefly getting the baby settled” the waitress then took the food away and came back and said the chef was happy with that dish so wasn’t prepared to sort it out for him. Again in a rude manner. This was my sisters 30th and was spoilt by a rude and argumentative woman. She has been there a few years we know this as we do come maybe once every couple of months. Unfortunately last visit for myself and family.

We booked a table for 4 with a young baby for Sunday lunch. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and were soon seated. Our drinks and food order was taken by a very friendly waitress. When the food arrived it was piping hot and such generous portions. My son opted for the extra large portion and my husband an extra Yorkshire Pud and they were overfaced. The pigs in blankets had been recommended to us by a friend and they were ordered as an extra and were the best that I had ever tasted and we had to take a couple home! We all had the roast beef which was very tender and all the vegetables including the roasties and mash were perfectly cooked. The gravy was perfect and just enough, no need to order extra. Only very small comment was that the yorkshires seemed slightly overcooked to me (a bit dry and darkish brown). We ordered desserts (apple crumble and custard), raspberry and white choc cheesecake, chocolate fudge pudding with cream and a choc melting brown pudding with ice cream and these were all delicious (sorry forgot to take a pic as we all tucked in and forgot). Including drinks out bill came of £83 which we thought was great value for money. The food was delicious and the service first class (all the staff were so pleasant and smiling). Toilets lovely and clean too (which says a lot about a place to me). Thank you for a great visit

Ordered two cheesy chips and the top layer was cheese when I opened the boxes. Under the cheese was chips swimming in some sort of watery sauce. Absolutely was not cheese.

Definitely the best Cafe in Darlington without a doubt, the menu choice, the food, the service is excellent top marks. I have been coming to this cafe for over a year now. This cafe should continue with same staff, service, menu choices and food. Best In Darlington by far. It would be an injustice and a tragedy if it was to close or change.

Afternoon Tea- Food beautiful but team keen to clear away plates before we had finished. Do had no jam or butter for scone. No offer of 2nd drink. A hot day and really unpleasant odour from staff member. Disappointed as previous visit staff very attentive. Today felt as though staff couldn’t be bothered.

My recent visit to left much to be desired. While the oat flat white was good, the sandwich mix-up was a letdown. I received a cheaper sandwich instead of the one I ordered and paid for, and the staff's lack of friendliness added to the disappointment. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't address the issue immediately. Hopefully, improvements in service and accuracy can enhance the overall customer experience at the shop.
