The Tea Room in Darlington

update on my previous review as i missed a star by mistake and its def 5 star apologies ..food is amazing and delivery is always on time 🥰

never fail to disappoint always lovely meals , propa home food cooking at its finest🥰 delivery is always on time and still hot 🔥

Food was cold and presentation was rubbish it was just mushed in box

Breakfast was beautiful eggs were still runny however the chips went really soggy in the box which would be my only let down Would definitely order a breakfast again

First time for ordering a breakfast from here. And it was lovely. Even had a runny yolk on the egg which is rare when ordering in.

the sandwich was very nice and very reasonable

Fresh tasty food and politely spoken

Food was good service was good enjoyed my breakfast would give it ago if your passing

FINALLY a decent place for a full English!

Great food, great people lovely place would recommend

Really nice little spot, well attended and polite staff

First time visiting and it was absolutely wonderful. We had the big breakfast and were able to swap out items for others so a very good deal. Would highly recommend. Staff are very friendly and approachable.

Good breakfast and friendly delivery.

Fast friendly delivery and a fantastic Breakfast. Everything was perfect. Thanks .

Had the big breakfast there this morning. Freshly cooked. All good ingredients. The cafe itself is spotless and clean. Well appointed. Excellent value. The best breakfast in Darlington by far and definitely not expensive.

After popping in and ordering some drinks, my 4 year old son told me he needed the toilet, I asked the young girl if it was ok to use the toilet, she asked a lady in the kitchen area if it was ok? The reply was that it was for staff only. I said it's for my little boy, she popped back again and said it's for the kid. The answer was that there was stuff in the way. The law with having 10 seats or more in a restaurant there must be toilets provided! I wish I hadn't ordered any drinks now. Rubbish service won't be back again!

First collection and was very impressed. Easy to order and collected 5-10 minutes later. Perks of living in the same street. Will definitely use again and can highly recommend.

So I left a pretty bad review last time because well the dinner was underwhelming but gotta say my last experience was much improved a nice bit of gravy so the meat wasn't dry mash was season better I think but still only a 3.5 there was a few big lumps of undercooked potato in the mash and I think the meat portion should be larger for the price but honestly much better than my last experience

Ordered from here a few times now. So lucky its in my street so not far to go to pick up, but they also do delivery. Sunday lunches here are absolutely amazing, the chicken, beef etc comes apart so well, you get a good mixture of food with the Sunday lunch. Try the vanilla sponge cake with yellow icing aswell which are at the counter, so lovely. Highly recommend, my nan and I love it. Fresh Home cooked meals, sooooo nice. The only thing i would say is i wish it was open at tea time, especially during the week as i definitely would order if they did, especially when you can't be bothered to cook after finishing work. I can see the previous review said barely any gravy and it was dry, soooo not true at all, you get enough gravy and everything is so flavoursome, they also said the mash was lumpy, again not true at all its a very creamy mash no lumps at all. My nan and i have our Sunday lunch here every week. I've never had a better Sunday lunch, so the previous review i just don't know where they're coming from.

Excellent food and service. Didn't have to wait long for our lunch. Never been before but will return.

Every time I come the food is spot on. Staff are friendly and work hard.

Great food, great welcome for children. Shame it wasn’t more busy.

Had a few deliveries of them bang on everytime delivered hot fresh and very tasty

The meal was really delicious. My mum was wondering about a little crackling with her pork. Thank you for saving our Sunday.

Lovely breakfast delivered on time and really hot. Will use again. Thank you

Living in the local area I thought I would call in the new tea room and I was not disappointed. Great use made of a small area, I had quiche and chips, very nice, presented well and the salad is so different and everything tasted so fresh. The staff was very chatty and attentive but not eccessivly. I will be calling in again very soon thanks for an enjoyable meal. 😊
