Sunday lunch .... what a find this place is .... the pub itself is beautiful and quirky with fantastic laid back atmosphere.... the staff were lovely freindly and inviting .... the sunday lunch was absalutley gorgous cooked to perfection and really well priced .... its not an exageration to give a score of 10/10

This was my first visit. We had good hearty portions of tasty food. The music was uplifting, but a bit too loudfor me, which is why I've only given 4 out of 5 stars. I will definitely return though.

Didn't stay for food just popped in for a drink. We were instantly assisted at the door asking if we wanted a table which was a nice touch. A cosy fire cackled away in the room with cosy seating and modern decor. The menu did look amazing but as we had food at another venue we will have to come back and try it.

Food was great, really good. Veg is served separately to share between you, never really keen on that, had to ask for serving spoons (and got desert spoons) as had nothing to dish the veg out with. Being a bit picky but my main gripe was the tall dark haired male server that was incapable of passing my chair without kicking it or walking into it even though I had it pulled right in, and the way he threw the food at us.

Lovely food, great choice, great service and decently priced Went with family and settled on the light bite menu. We all ate well, proper home made chips and full afterwards. Food was served hot, absolutely no complaints from us Ordered latte's afterwards, but asked for really hot, and this was how it was served. Fabulous and thanks from us Venue reminded us oldie type pub, cosy but with plenty of room Great experience, will definitely go again

We went as a party of nine - our youngest had several allergies and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We had a long phone conversation at the time of booking about what would be safe for them to eat and we repeated it all again on arrival. At several points before service they came out to check on various things and gave them extra to make up for the things they couldn't eat. The food was fantastic with huge portions. A great experience all round.

Thought we would give breakfast a try as a Saturday morning treat and we weren’t disappointed 😍 Lovely welcome from Matty as soon as we walked through the door, his greeting was nearly as warm as the pub which already had the fire roaring, perfect for a cold February morning. Both my husband and I opted for the full English and it was delicious. Piping hot, great quality produce and plenty of it, served by Emma and Diane who were attentive and friendly, a credit to the pub. This place never disappoints and we will definitely be back, if you haven’t given it a try you’re missing out.

If you're looking for a cozy spot with a log-burning fire, unique decor, and even better food, this place is a must-visit. I booked in as a group of 5, and the service was both polite and quick. The breakfast was, without a doubt, the best I've had in the area. I 100% recommend it—trust me, you'll thank me later!

Such a lovely warm, cosy pub and great food. We went to try the new menu as the 'P&K Christmas pie 'sounded interesting. My husband said it was very tasty, lovely filling with light pastry while I had the liver,bacon and mash, a menu item rarely seen now. This was also delicious. They were very generous portions and so we couldn't manage desserts!

You have to book as it’s always busy! We love the Asian nights on Thursdays especially the chicken Katsu. Iainy and his lovely Jess - the best Border Collie in the world, always give us a warm welcome to their restaurant. The new P&K chocolate with a secret ingredient is fabulous and well worth trying. Thank you Sarah, James, Jan and Iainy and all the staff for making my birthday extra special last Thursday, one I’ll never forget. Here’s to many more evenings and Sundays, we love you!

We visited the pub and kitchen on a Saturday, early evening(4 adults & a baby). On arrival, a member of our group stated we had booked a table for 4(the baby wasn't going to be eating). The gentleman looked at us and replied, "2 adults and the baby, so 5 then". We thought this was quite rude and abrupt. We were greeted immediately and shown to our table that was prebooked. A server left us to have a look at the food menu. After around 10-15 mins a server came over and took our drinks orders which we received a further 5-10 mins later. After a few mins longer of waiting, a new server came over and took our food order. We did wait a fairly long time for the food and we noticed that regulars sitting behind us received their food before us(but arrived after). The food was okay, the portions were good but I do feel as though it is a tad overpriced. Overall, I don't think I'd jump at the chance to visit again based on the slow service and the price.

After a day out at Beamish this was worth the detour off the A1 on our way home to Darlington.

We arrived here at 830 after calling ahead to make sure we were ok to have food and said no problem. Arrived and told to order immediately as kitchen closed at 9, no problem did straight away. 10 minutes later told food I had ordered had sold out and to reorder which I did. Good came out, not what I ordered but said it was fine I would have it. Was braised steak, mash and dumplings. When food all arrived I asked waiter if I could have gravy with my dinner to be told no kitchen had closed. I explained it was too dry to eat but he did nothing therefore I left food. Experience poor and rushed. When he then charged me full price I asked to speak to manager. I was pointed to the front of the pub where he was sitting and explained my issues. He immediately walked to till gave me £20 , £19 for meal And sarcastically said n a £1 tip, no apology and really not interested in my complaint. If the manager is that rude and uninterested I'm not surprised his staff - aren't either. Eat out regularly but won't return here or recommend

Nice assortment of veg beautifully cooked. Staff very attentive and welcoming. All in all very good value for money.

We attended with friends, one who is a regular to this pub / restaurant, it was a lovely evening , and asked if we could sit outside , the response was no , they had no more seats , we asked could we stand outside , again, no was the reply , we then asked could we sit at one of the tables to be told again no , they were for people eating food , there were a few tables spare and we ended standing on the corner of the pub , even the regular who came with us , said he wouldn’t go back , Rude and quite frankly not for a customer focused establishment , your barman can fling bottles in the air all he wants , not for the price of the drinks which are outrageous

I had a lovely stay here, a lovely welcome on arrival, it’s a lovely old building with plenty of character. My room was cosy, it had everything required, walk in shower was very good, the bed was comfortable, halls were narrow but this will be down to the age of the property. I never experienced the food in the evenings but I will say breakfast was delicious. Don’t be deterred by the road, I could barely hear anything when in my room and this was road side. Overall, a pleasant stay, staff were lovely. Thank you.
