The Grind in County Durham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Bottomless brunch with the gals was absolutely wild. Got there for 2 thinking I'd have a nice civilised couple of hours with the girls and ended up being carted off home at 9pm when the chef finished work! Food was amazing, cocktails were even better and we were very well catered for during our two hour brunch slot. Very well done considering the place was rammed too! Such a great vibe and had the best time!

Food though on the face of it, pretty much average burger and fries with a bit of a twist was top notch. Staff so friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Holli who served us with a smile despite seeing her earlier on ( must work long hours). Just gem of a place and much needed change from the usual high street chain pubs.

Amazing evening at Spennymoor’s premier attraction. The drinks, entertainment and over all ambience were absolutely top drawer. A wonderful gem in the heart of the town. The staff… Hollie, Jess and Lydia, (remembered their names I hope) grafting tirelessly all night to make sure we all had a fab time. Working in such a fast paced environment but still managing to bring that ‘service with a smile’ and a true injection of good vibes that everyone needs on a Friday night is a tall order in anyone’s book, but these girls delivered.

We've been here a few times now and really enjoy it. (The singer on Friday 14th June was very good). The choice of drinks is different to the rest of the nearby places and are really nice. Staff are always helpful and pleasant. When you have food the service is always very good. The best thing on the menu by far is the belly pork. For me personally I am not a burger fan so that rules most of the menu out for me. I have had one and it was nice but as mentioned they're not really my thing. The place is always clean and its decor is very good. I would have given it a 5 but for the primary choice being burgers on the menu knocked it to a 4. If 4.5 was a score that would have been my choice. Well done to the owners as you have brought something a little different to the town and you do it well.

Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. Cannot fault our experience at all. Will definitely be back to try more!

This place is absolutely brilliant, I visited on Good Friday with my husband for tea. We had burgers and bar snacks. The burgers are the best burgers we have ever had anywhere. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure we were enjoying everything. The selection of drinks are brilliant, the Draft ales are something different to what you can get anywhere else in town and the cocktails were superb. The place itself is very quirky and cool, the decor is great. They also had a live singer on a little little later in the evening which was a nice surprise. She was very good! I can't recommend this place enough.

Had a great time at The Grind Bar & Kitchen, congratulations on the launch! Great atmosphere and the live entertainment added a nice touch. Well thought out menu with something for everyone. Attention to detail was evident throughout, especially in the decor. The Nutella pancakes were a standout coming with a mini Nutella jar. Overall, highly recommended. Can't wait to come back!

Been to Baby Brunch for food a few times but today went to the new premises for bottomless brunch Wow Wow Wow the food amazing the dinks !!! So many xxx service so friendly, could not fault it xxx

I visited the grind with friends just over a week ago to check out the new venue as I've visited the original for breakfast many times(amazing brekkie 👌) Loved the decor, very quirky and a great atmosphere with background music not too loud so we could still have a good chat. The food was great, gorgeous burgers and loved the bar snacks we tried also. Service was great with really friendly staff and I always find the prices to be really reasonable for what you get, can't wait to come back and try more!

Went for the first time for evening meal and was really pleased with the selection of vegetarian options. Halloumi burger and sides were fantastic! Lovely atmosphere and cocktails were tasty too!

I met friends for a catch up last Saturday and this was my first visit to The Grind. The food and service was excellent as was the overall atmosphere with a singer in the back ground too. Great decor and loved the disco ball in the ladies! Will defo return and have already booked a table with other friends. The Grind is exactly the sort of place Spennymoor needs!

The staff are always really nice, but the experience wasn’t great. Since the new venue opened we were expecting good things, but there was no availability for food walk-ins in spite of a large new cafe and plenty of available tables. They were turning several people away. That’s fair enough but even the wait for a cup of coffee was going on 15 mins. That cost £3 a cup and tasted really bland. Disappointing overall, you’d get better service and value at Starbucks, which is quite a low bar.

Went into the new Grind this morning for a take out coffee. Waited 12 mins for it to arrive. Three staff on and only one person making coffee...the place wasn't busy. Don't understand why it took so long...

Wow what a venue, they have done a brilliant job on the decor. I had brunch which was amazing, definitely attention to detail and tasted delicious. The staff were very friendly and I will be coming back to try the cocktails.

I recently visited The Grind with some friends. Having been to the previous venue multiple times, I was eager to attend the new Bar & Kitchen, and I was not disappointed. The food, the drinks, the staff, the service, everything made our experience really enjoyable. We visited during the day, so all enjoyed a dish from the brunch menu. I got the Maple & Bacon French Toast, and it was delicious. The bacon was perfectly cooked and the french toast was so fluffy! The staff were really friendly, polite and attentive. I would recommend this place over and over, every visit has been memorable and I already can't wait to go again.

Food was amazing and I love love love the decor! The menu's got something for everyone, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Already making plans to come back. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try!

After a lot of recommendations from friend's we visited on Saturday 16th and this has sadly been the worst bottomless brunch we've been to. We received a prosecco when we arrived. After 20 minutes our food order was taken, we were told someone would come to take our drinks order. 25 minutes later we had to chase at the bar for our second drink. Hour and a half in, we managed 2 drinks. We complained and we're told we would get extra time. After two and half an hours we managed 4 drinks. Finished our 4th and decided to leave, had a 10 minute wait before someone became available to let us pay. Once we complained the staff’s attitude changed, they were blunt and uninterested. The issue was the lack of staff serving tables. Seemed odd for a bottomless place where staff weren't regulatory checking on you or letting you know much time you had left. However, the food was amazing compared to other bottomless brunches. Overall not great value for money.

Great place for cocktails and atmosphere, visited on Sunday where they has live entertainment on. Definitely worth a visit if your in Spennymoor or visiting close by.

Amazing! First off, the staff are so friendly. They never hesitate to answer any questions and make you feel so welcome, no matter the day/time. The decor and the atmosphere are great. I keep finding new details to admire. Love the surprise in the ladies’ loo as well! 🤫✨ The new menu is to die for! Gorgeous. I hate to admit I’ve had two burgers in the space of a week but can’t resist. This isn’t bog standard stuff - this is a menu that’s been properly thought through and they’ve thought outside the box! Unique things I haven’t seen before - super tasty. Try it all. The cocktail menu is equally fab - loads of choice and beautifully presented.

The new venue is beautiful with the same cool feel and great staff but lots more lush food and some amazing new cocktails too.
