The Cosy Byre in County Durham

Booked for my partner's Birthday Sunday Lunch..We booked for 12 noon and it was surprisingly very quiet today while we were there . Served by a very nice young lady, we always find staff here lovely, prompt service. We had the regular Sunday lunch. I had pork and my partner went for the beef. I have to say there was too much meat on the plate for me so I couldn't do it justice but my partner cleared his plate as it was beautiful..We have never had a bad meal here, that is why we always pick the Green Tree to go to.

Excellent breakfast which comes with toast and preserves.The coffee is good which costs £3.20 and £10.00 for the breakfast.Maybe a little on the expensive side as it's not the biggest breakfast but everything on the plate was so good and so nice to get plum tomatoes instead of fried ones.i would definitely recommend this cafe for breakfast and with the tables outside it's a pleasant place to eat it aswell especially when the weather is like it was today

Great pizza and pastries. Coffee is hit or miss but high recommend

We drove past this place a few weeks ago. It looked so inviting that the three of us tried to get in but as it is such a popular place there was quite a waiting time. Despite being disappointed we vowed to return another day. We returned today and to our delight we were able to be accommodated immediately. So glad we chose to return. As soon as you enter the place the décor just grabs your attention. There were hearts everywhere you looked. The plates with your meal on are even heart -shaped - as well as the spoons. How nice is that? The place is beautifully decorated in bright colours with a certain appeal for young and old. I’m sure the kids would love to eat in such delightful surroundings. The menu is more than adequate to satisfy most people. The portions are very generous, and the chips, that come with some of the meals, deserve a special mention – they are to die for. We were too full from the main meal - but maybe next time we can leave enough room to sample the desserts. The staff make you very welcome - being very attentive and polite. We were served by the very capable and charming Leah, who smiled throughout the time she attended to us. In fact, all of the staff went about their duties in the most pleasant of manner. A big thank you to all the staff for turning our first visit in to a wonderful experience. For the effort that the management and the staff put into making your visit a pleasant one this place certainly deserves to be successful. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed.

A lovely village pub,went for a Sundays dinner,with a prawn starter, wow probably the best meal I've had in a long time,the staff could not do enough for you, top marks
