The highland laddie in Darlington

A pleasant person served our beverages and made ourselves comfortable even though it was freezing outside and raining

Lovely people, great service from fantastic staff.

Cold, unfriendly,dirty,empty, need u say more, could be really nice, but wasnt

Great nights craic and brilliant atmosphere. Will defintely be back

Great magnet beer good staff dog friendly pub

This could be so much better. Lacks a warm welcome and poor choice of beers. But nice environment.

No chef at the moment so don't go expecting food, despite the signs and Facebook page.

Old school, good pool table, banging Jukebox and fairly cheap prices

Good place to go, all stocked up.

Went into the lounge, had to wait ages to be served and not that bothered. Also no fruit wedges for desparados etc.

Second time in for a Sunday dinner. I went for the prawn cocktail then onto the beef dinner. Staff all friendly and helpful. Nice clean pub for a nice Sunday dinner.... shows the football as well win win

Lovely Sunday dinner and reasonably priced would go again

Marvellous food,reasonably priced and great service.

Very good atmosphere and very good night

Got no teeth off the beef,was joking was lovely dinner

Just bought a Sunday lunch to take out. The food was unreal. This is definitely my new place for Sunday lunch now. Worth the money 💰

Watched a group. Cheap drinks and the staff are very friendly.

Nice cold pint in a pub thats not full of cranks

went for sunday lunch . discussing raw veg waited ages to be served. never again not worth the wait.

Friendly staff/owners, great food, chill atmosphere. Would recommend.

the lounge has been revamped in this lovely village pub,the sunday lunch is delicious and service is excellent...will be calling in again next sunday for lunch

Went for breakfast this morning. Not going to lie the price is amazing but the food its self was cold and tasted like it was made yesterday. Normally go all the time but this will be the last time. Dont know what's going on. Bacon was freezing and dry, toast was awful. Never again

Friendly staff and real homemade food

Nice pub but can be noisy when crowded.

Sunday Lunch was absolutely fantastic

Nice friendly place and a nice Sunday dinner

They do great meals and great atmosphere

Not a great entrance when you have to step over the bar staff having a tab on the door step. Waited 2/3 minutes for her to enter and serve us. Local guys in bar said just help yourself. They were noisy and obviously familiar with the procedures. Not visitor friendly. However my wife and I used to drink in here 40 years ago when we lived in Darlington and having just moved back may not visit again. Wine selection was poor. Lager was ok but I like real ale and there was not available.

Called in last night having heard good reports the reports were right parmo 10 out 10 and the staff very friendly.

Lovely place to unwind.!!!! 👍👍👍

Me llamó en este pub para una pinta rápida en mi camino de vuelta a casa de mis hijos casa me horroricé a ver muchos chicos jóvenes consumen drogas en el baño para que el gerente hecho la vista gorda a. en muchas ocasiones he pasado este pub y he visto el gerente en muchas peleas. Yo diría que este pub es utilizada por muchas personas jóvenes un montón de que conocen el gerente para poder usar drogas. Mi consejo es que no vayas a este pub en todo momento a menos que te guste la idea de sentarse en un estudio de drogas con enfrentamientos constantes para el entretenimiento. Nunca más me ponen un pie en este pub es una pena, ya que lo que solía ser un pub encantador del pueblo

Este lugar no es nada malo, cerveza barata, una mesa de la piscina hay un buen montón de clientes habituales y su justo en mi puerta!

Live local and went in with my wife, it's a pub most definitely ran by the locals, to the extent that one of the customers threatened to punch the barman if he didn't turn the TV over as he didn't like the team playing.

walked in bar n looked like a bomb site. asked for 2 pints of smooth and was told over 5 quid (3.70 in the grey horse) walked in the lounge to avoid the 3 people who were in making eye contact to see the decor, wallpaper off the ceiling no one in the lounge, stinking.and then the pint tasted like the smell off blue loo. left the pint and the pub. no wonder its for sale. do not go there. HORRIBLE ps the 5 for food was for the crisps

Agree with the previous review on this site. Waited 30 minutes for Sunday lunch and when it came out you could see it had been microwaved mostly yet some of the vegetables were still cold. £5.00 and £2.50 for child & OAPs. Shame used to be cracking pub once over.

This place is a dump Filthy disgusting chairs Dirty plates and cutlery Stinking toilets Food was dreadful and dreary Service was abysmal You do not allow you to open a tab See you have to pay for your food in instalments If you're using a bankcard needs to be over 5 pound this is the worst place I've ever eaten the staff are Rude I was refused a blue Steak as the chef is not competent Enough to cook one we could not get 2 coffees as the are under £5 and would not accept a card payment we just left

Good pub for cheap, good food. All drinks a good price and staff friendly. Better recently after new management took over.

Had to prompt for our drinks after being sat for 15 minutes. Got the order and bill wrong. Took ages to come, probably because they wanted to ensure my steak and ale pie was incinerated. We were the only food customers. But on a positive note; they were friendly and the wedges were nice. Boss did discount our bill on his own volition, but he managed to get that wrong too. Faulty Towers eat your heart out. We won't be back.
