The Village Brewer. in Darlington

Never again. We have been numerous times before and have put up with the total incompetence of the front of house as the food is amazing. But tonight was the last straw. Booked for 8.30pm and on arrival there was only 5 tables occupied. Chart music playing in the back ground which is the norm for this place, but some very unhappy looking faces greeted us from those table which were occupied. Should have known Really !! So after 45 mins, having taken our drinks order 6 times and food order once we still had nothing to show for our time and patience. It’s was defiantly time to leave when he confirmed that the kitchen hadn’t even started our order and asked what we wanted to drink once more. A real shame as the food is amazing, if only they would give it a Thai atmosphere, turn off the chart music, employ some staff and make it feel like a Thai restaurant. This could be a little gold mine and a wonderful place to eat.

Just called in for a couple of drinks. Roaring fire and lots of people creating a nice atmosphere. Families, couple, and groups of people of all ages on Monday after 1pm. Staff are polite and helpful. We didn't eat today, but food coming to nearby tables looked appetising.

About a year ago on a trip to Edinburgh we stopped in Masham North Yorkshire and had fish & chips at Harry's. 12 months later we returned and were not disappointed. Crisp batter and succulent fish with yummy chips. We had the Senior's Special and it was more than adequate for us. Well worth a visit whether you eat in or take away. Well done yet again..

Just enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal from Tiyatro. Beautifully flavoured, with tender meat and wonderful meze; the wrap was sensational. Honestly, one of the best take-aways we’ve ever had and lovely service. We’ll be back! Ps generous portions so there’ll be some for lunch tomorrow!
