The Witch and Hare in County Durham

Fantastic food, cosy atmosphere and great prices

Went here for Christmas meal with my work colleagues. Fantastic food! I had the beef gravy bun with chips. Beef was lovely and chips were skin on and so tasty. The dish came with pigs in blankets (pibs) in a nod to the season. My colleagues had the pork bun which came with stuffing, chips and pibs on the side. One of our party ordered pork belly and chips from the tapas menu which was succulent with excellent crispy crackling. Some of us managed to fit in a dessert, Belgian waffles and hot chocolate fudge cake yum! All in all a lovely experience. The W&H is up for sale and we wish the owner all the best in his new venture....we will find him!

Beautiful food lovely atmosphere. Will come again

Food and atmosphere is really great

Goat cheese and caramelised onion pizza is just heaven! Pizza express can learn from you. Every time I have food there it is nice. Home cooked, authentic and service always with a smile on their face! Highly recommend !

Food was good but there were items missing from a number of the foods ordered. From no olives in the Greek salad to no bread with the garlic mushrooms. These were listed on the menu but not served as such. Other items were very tasty. The service was reasonable but the atmosphere was lacking due to the small seating area in the venue.

An amazing little bar in Easington. Great food, good beer and a great, friendly clientele and staff.

Cosy little place, have to admit we were surprised at how good the food was... its very authentic and not your standard uk quality. Thanks to the chef 👨‍🍳

I bought a takeaway Sunday lunch for myself and I have to say I was so impressed. Just finished it, incredible value, excellent quality and I’m now absolutely stuffed. Going to call midweek to try something else.

Good food would highly recommend

Lovely Sundays dinner highly recommended

Excellent little restaurant actually turns easington into a good night out!

We've been here a couple of times the past few months and the food was fantastic, small menu but they do have specials which is great, the last time we've been the food was a bit lacking, not sure if it was because we were the last table on a busy Friday night and maybe they ran out of certain ingredients, apart from the special (scallops on this occasion) everything else tasted very generic unlike the previous times, the sauces tasted like pre bought, the meatballs and pork belly tasted very "asda" like, not bad by any means but nothing you couldn't make at home in 10 minutes so we were a bit disappointed, I'll however rate this place on our previous visits so its a 5/5 because of the excellent food, excellent service and greek larger, we will try it again next time and hopefully this last experience was just a one off disappointment not to be repeated!

Well worth a visit, the food is amazing.

Very cosy place, extremely friendly staff

Absolutely fabulous place food great service really good definitely returning recommend to anyone even brought take out what we didn't finish

Bit disappointed with this place used to be spread from the med before it relocated, and the food was more varied, very limited menu but what we had was nice, service wasn't the best either, once we got are food no one bothered with us again.

Lovely little place!! We've just had a lovely tapas for 2. It was really busy, with a friendly bubbly atmosphere. Decor was nice and there is a lovely, cute outdoor area, which will be gorgeous when the sun is shining. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The menu is limited and there are specials which change regularly. The food was excellent. The SPICY BEEF is incredible!! The absolute star of the show. YOU MUST TRY IT 😍 Highly recommended

Been a couple of times for breakfast with friends and really enjoy the stottie bacon/sausage sarnies. Service is also very prompt.

We had been meaning to go here for a while when i noticed the cruz campo signs outside. I hoped it would be a cosy place with a holiday feel. Myself and my wife went on Friday night and were not disappointed. Great little place , cosy and intimate. Nice selection of Tapas and other meal choices on the menu. The menu was only small but was ideal and exactly what we wanted, with some additional specials offered by the friendly owners. We had some tapas for starters and chicken Gyros for our main. For drinks i had a pint or two of Cruz Campo and my wife had a couple of glasses of red. This place turned out to be a hidden jewel and was far better than i had anticipated. Took us back to Tavernas of Previous Holidays, really great find.

Lovely wee Tapas...friendly & great food. Special mention to Sam...❤️

The food was delicious. Nicely served and piping hot. The owner and the staff were welcoming, pleasant and helpful. Would recommend you try it.

Nicely done out, we will use again and try the food, as we just called for a coffee. Local lad putting the effort in to create something for the public. Recommended.

Brilliant place, excellent food and service.

We enjoyed our couple of hours at the Taverna, food was good as was the service. The place was a little tight with about room for about 24 people squeezed up. Personally I found the food was ok , but the other 3 people really enjoyed it. With it being small we found it added to the atmosphere. Personally if you were visiting in a group I would recommend you ring up to make a reservation.

Everything we have had here is so tasty. Can't fault this place. Staff friendly. Lovely cosy atmosphere.

What a find! Superb village bistro. Mediterranean tapas, with drinks to match. Service brilliant too. We got patatas bravas and garlic mushrooms alongside a great g&t @nd an Efes beer. Top notch
