The Half Moon in County Durham

First time visiting the half moon for Sunday lunch very freindly staff Laura,isla and lana. Sunday lunch was really nice and tasty thanks to Lewis the chef will definitely be visiting again next time with our dog

Came to the Half Moon for my Aunts 90th birthday on 3rd April. Was quite awkward to arrange as I was abroad until the day before!! Arranged for 3.30 service which had to be changed to 4pm which ended up being 4.15pm as my daughter & family got caught by escaped sheep & were held up for a further 20 minutes! The chef did an absolutely fabulous job & the service eventually was second to none. We ate superb food & the apple crumble was to die for! The next day, my husband & myself returned for a parmo, equally superb ,(but I do like creamed cabbage with mine!) All in all, the Half Moon has something for everyone, & will only go from strength to strength. We wish you every success & will definitely be back in June. X

First visit to this village pub The Half Moon, friendly staff, good food and dog friendly. We are looking forward to having a Sunday lunch there and been served by Amber again she was so attentive but not to attentive 5 stars from us

Me and my sister have been going for breakfast for the last 3 weeks, food and service amazing, Amber the server and Declan the chef are a real credit to the place they are super stars, would highly recommend anyone to pay a visit. 10 out of 10

Went with mates for breakfast and it was delicious, well presented and a generous portion. Amber who served us was very nice and cheerful.

We visited for lunch today, fish & chips - massive, double burger, parmo and mixed grill. All meals were top draw and thoroughly enjoyed by all, a big mention for the garlic mushrooms, my wife is a a bit of an expert in these and she highly recommends, chefs Declan & Lewis definitely produced great quality food. Staff were very friendly (Laura & Amber), an extremely pleasant, relaxed dining experience and we will be back!

Just called for Good Friday fish and chips. Greeted by friendly staff who quickly showed us to our seats. Fast and efficient service, the food was superb beautiful fresh white whale of a cod with crispy batter and home made chunky chips. Why queue in a fish shop when you can have them bought to your table. Great value for money. Haven't been to the Half Moon for a few years. What a change, beautifully decorated,warm and welcoming staff. I would certainly recommend and will be returning very soon.

Very nice fish and chips and excellent customer service from Laura my waitress. The pub itself is very nicely decorated with a friendly atmosphere

Visited today for Mother's Day Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. Well-priced and great value. Yorkshire pudding was great, large but well cooked. Vegetables were beautiful, with loads of flavour. The beef was so thick, it was like a steak! Can't fault it!

Visited last night for Bottomless Brunch and can safely say it was the best one we’ve ever done (and we’ve sampled a few)! Greeted by lovely staff and a great atmosphere in the pub. We each got a glass of Prosecco on arrival and our drinks orders were quickly taken and we weren’t without a drink the whole night! Demi looked after us, ensuring we were enjoying ourselves and regularly checking that we had the drinks we wanted, unlike other establishments where you have to chase staff to get another drink. The food was also incredible - an extensive menu to pick from with breakfast options or light bites. Two of us had a half a parmo, while the other two had the churrasco chicken wraps. Everything was warm and really tasty. We also had desserts which were great too! We stayed for the quiz and the atmosphere stayed fantastic all night. Staff were kind and helpful and couldn’t do more for you. Would definitely recommend booking for Bottomless Brunch or just generally going to the pub for food or drinks. Thank you!

First visit since the pubs revamp. Nice and airy, great menu selection and a splendid range of beers & lagers. My wife & I had food from the light bite menu. Fish & chips & parmo were delicious. Terrific value. Sent pictures to family who were well impressed. Drinks quality were consistent in taste from the first to the last. Barperson Jak was also helpful. Thank you, we'll be back with family.

Need a couple more vegetarian options. The other food looked good, hubby enjoyed it

Came for Sunday lunch with my family and it was beautiful. Also was advised they do take out Sunday lunch. Will definitely be back!!

First time there Saturday morning. Just to try some breakfast. My wife and I were served by a lovely young lady who was excellent and good fun. I had a sausage and hash brown sandwich my wife had sausage bacon and black pudding. The buns were packed and the quality was excellent, although the sausages had a lot of herbs in which might not suit all. Coffees were both very good too. We will return. Oh and great value.

First time been in since reopened, I heard good reports , thought I'd call for a drink when passing. Didn't disappoint, nice atmosphere & setting. Would recommend

A lovely atmosphere and freshly renovated pub. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was quick and the food was unbelievable (especially the soft beef tacos). Would highly recommend for a meal for two, friends or a family meal out. The pub was very dog friendly and even had doggy ice creams and treats on offer. Reasonable prices and a lot of deals on offer for steak nights and kids eat for £1.

Had a lovely meal as couples. We really enjoyed the choice and the way that everything was cooked fresh. There was great choices for healthy meals been added in January so you can still go out on a diet, although my partner still had the double stacked parmo with thick bacon inside which was a challenge! Staff couldn’t do enough and were very attentive and there was a lovely atmosphere with both the staff and other customers. The meals were reasonably priced and we even stayed for a few drinks too. Will defiantly be back as there was some amazing looking meals coming from the kitchen (especially the fish and chips).

I went for a meal with my family and the service/food was amazing I had the potato skins starter with the fillet steak for main, upgrading the side to parmo fries Will definitely be back again soon

Good food excellent friendly service good selection of beers and wine.Worth a visit

There is plenty of seating available and a nice welcome. Service was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent, well worth a visit!

Read about this place on sm. Beautifully refurbished.went for breakfast. The food was very tasty and well presented. Service was very good Well worth a visit

Amazing food service and atmosphere.

First time.lovely food and pleasant staff.will definitely be returning. Thank you

Fab for carnivores and vegetarians! Staff are fab and it’s a gorgeous place!

Dinner was amazing, steak was just how I ordered and the chips were chunk as advertised Prices are very reasonable

Great staff and great atmosphere 👏

Well done out pub. Would of put 5 stars but not tried the food yet😁

Fabulous menu! Great for my carnivorous kids and their veggie Mam! The kids had the steak, which they absolutely loved, and I had the cauliflower Dahl….which was superb! Incredible home made cheesecake for dessert too! ♥️

Went for Sunday lunch, was lovely, just enough to still be able to have a lovely pudding Had a couple of evening meals too and enjoyed everyone

Great food at very good prices. Chicken burger was great with a side of dirty fries. Seating outdoors is good for the hot weather and the order to table system is very quick.

Pretty good for just starting but they could definitely do a lot more. Service wasn't spectacular, eating area need to feel more seperate from the pub or make it all an eating area and it needs more dietary options e.g a veggie burger or something of the likes. Other than that it wasn't bad it just wasn't worth the price... Yet, there's still hope :)

Ordered on app but not all available even though took order. Food OK but very long wait between stater and main. Was asked after a while had we ordered mains. Told them yes but still ages before they finally arrived. Sauce for main not there and when asked for it told kitchen closed. Small portion - looked like one portion of chips shared between us. Felt like we had been forgotten

Celebrating a Silver Wedding and everything was brilliant from food to servive and atmosphere Will certainly be back

Its a pity the brewery are so greedy it's goin to have to shut again

Lovely traditional Sunday lunch. Definitely go again..x

Went here last Saturday the staff was very friendly and attentive they couldn't do enough for us. The food was lovely and fresh the chips were home cooked which I love. I would definitely recommend this place
