The best restaurants in Aycliffe North County Durham North East

Had my 10th take away from here tonight, got home the bag was full of curry. Bad start all around. Gone to dish out the food and both Lamb Madras had 5 small pieces of lamb in and the was like sauce like water, with black and white small round bits in it and one had part of a tomato in... very strange indeed.. Full of spice and no flavour at all.. Rang up the shop to complain and was offered money off my next order. Me "No thank you I am not eating this I want my money back please so I can purchase a curry that i can eat " .. And was told that this would inky happen if I brought the curry back. Which is 10 mins out of my way. I asked if I could just send a video and images of the food, as they can not resell it and it would save me 20 minutes round trip. And was told NO i had to bring the food in myself they wouldn't even send a driver for it. I was home in my pj's and absolutely appalled by this service. The girk in the phine was lovely, but the manager on who would not even come on the phone himself, was absolutely out of order for making me leave my home again just to bring back this ROT. Unfortunately I did not take any images of this poor food, which I realised on my way home. The first 8 timez ordering were ok curries but the 9th time I ordered I got it delivered and it was all spice and no flavour and not much meat again around 5 small pieces. I will not order from here ever again after this experience... I get that chef's have a night off and the stand in chef can be not as good. But this was honestly the worst food I had ever had out before me in my whole 40 years of life.. Same for my partner also. We have never had such horrible food and such poor service , I have never been treated how I was from this company tonight. I felt bad for the lady on the phone who was just the messenger, lovely lass .. But management are rubbish and have bad attitudes towards good honest people. Do not order from here... There are much better curry places nearby . And i will make sure I order from somewhere else in the future

Delicious food, friendly staff. 1st choice chip shop

Came here on the spur of the moment and so glad we did. We were greeted by a lovely young lady and shown to our seats. We were told about the 40% off offer and promptly picked our meals. Two large bottles of Cobra, pickle tray and 4 poppadoms, plus two mains and 2 sides came to less than £30. The food was tasty and plenty of it. Can't recommend this place enough.

Drinks FAR too expensive. I don't know if the bar staff knew the right prices.

Food is very nice. Best Indian in Aycliffe.

Booked a table for 4 people. Arrived and found our reserved table. Sat down and waited for staff. Staff informed us that there was a problem with the chef and that there would be no food that night. When asked ‘why didn’t someone call and warn us’ just got a shrug of the shoulders. Don’t waste your time on this place, they clearly don’t care about their customers. Will never return and just keep the many good foodie places in the area. Shame on you management

Honestly the fish was alright but the chips were horrible. The portion size was unacceptable for £3. I spent £9 on chips and all of the portions pretty much came to the size of what I would expect for 1 portion. Put me off ordering from reds.

Very disappointed. Ordered 2 adult pork, 1 adult beef and 2 kids beef. The adult dinners came upside down! The adult beef didn't arrive and the swede and stuffing were very watery. Needless to say, I won't be ordering from here again! I paid £35 to get no dinner.

Really great food and lovely people nice and clean

Having arrived at a surprise birthday party on Saturday 1st July at the Phoenix club in Newton Aycliffe and seeing how much hard work the family and friends had done on the birthday boys behalf it was very disappointing to see the DJ who was recommend by the club basically threating to turn the music off if he wasn't paid in full. The family were very shocked and distressed with this behaviour as they had just arrived in the room, also during the night when asked to play up to date songs he's reply was that he was playing to an older crowd and just played what he wanted even though it was a 30th and not a 70th birthday with an average age in the room of between 18-35. He also stopped playing at exactly 11pm and just disappeared from the room and as the family and friends started to tidy and do what the club had asked by putting table and chairs away and tidying up the bar staff were busy taking their drinks of which some were full drinks and all before 11:10pm just after they had bought them at 11:00pm. You can see why this club is struggling if they treat people like this we will defiantly not be using this club for any more organised events or even for a normal night out.

Quite frustrating!! Got 3 items. A sandwich (new chicken caesar) pizza slice and a biscuit and it came to over 6 pound. Had absolutely no price on the sandwich so that was quite annoying as I would never have wanted to spend that much. In greggs they clearly have the prices displayed underneath the sandwiches so thought it was a crafty move by cooplands especially as your advertising in the main window the exact same sandwich, a drink and a sausage roll for 4 pound. Service nothing special either, merely got a smile and definitely didn't get a thank you. You have to ask yourselves why greggs is always busy and cooplands is quiet?

We always go here for our Sunday lunch absolutely beautiful, definitely recommend 👌 service is amazing and the staff too.

Awesome if pick up from shop but very disappointed when get it delivered, but sometimes even though 5 mins away it's nice to stay comfy and get a treat delivered but each time it comes cold one time had burgers and the buns were soggy and not edible i ate the meat and salad another time pizza was that cold the cheese was hard had to microwave it and tonight I thought try a wrap and just fell to pieces had to use knife and fork to eat a wrap all over and chips needed microwaved then puts me off again for awhile cause I could just make hot food to enjoy in the time takes to deliver cold food to not fully enjoy for the money like I said food spot on when I collect but food must be left counter for awhile or something cause when I collect it's still hot and nice when get home and its every delivery

Food very nice staff helpful a pity they do not except card payments when I go there I spend between £30.00 and £40.00 I do not always have cash available

I was here a on Friday gone, getting together with a friend for a coffee and chat. Throughout our conversation we were disturbed by a loud noise coming from the counter area, a loud grinding noise, that echoed all over. It was similar to being in a loud pub and I could just about hear my friend speak. It was annoying and shouldn't be done where customers are. We won't be coming back here again.
