Best kfc around clean restaurant hot food lovely staff

Excellent food. Busy but a good atmosphere and good service. Many thanks.

I just got a take away from here. Super tasty vegan options. I had a Kolkata Express with mushroom rice. It was mint and stayed hot a long time. A little bit spicy and full of flavour.

Visited on a Saturday evening with a larger family group for a special occasion. The restaurant were happy to allow us to pre-deliver balloons and a table runner as a surprise, which were set up perfectly for our arrival. The service was fantastic and the waitresses so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for the little extra touches. There was so much to choose from on the menu, what I ordered was so delicious, but it was hard to choose! Everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed their meal and all but 1 had desert, which shows how much we were enjoying ourselves! I would definitely recommend Valentines and look forward to returning again soon.

Amazing small hotel, perfect for weddings

Popped in for lunch, seated upstairs, nice place to watch the world go by. Lovely food, very reasonably priced, super fast service, washroom very clean, friendly staff would recommend.👍

What a lovely meal we had! Pleasant service. Delicious food. Great surroundings! Nothing not to like. The roast loin of cod and steak with all the trimmings were excellent. Will definitely go back!

We heard this cafe had been taken over by Clarendons in Barnard Castle so decided to see how much had changed. Happy to say that, as far as we can see, nothing had changed; it was as good as ever. We both had the Ploughmans which were platters and featured dressed salad, two types of cheese, quality ham, egg, caramelised onions, lovely bread and butter and house made coleslaw. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal which was very fresh. There is a Specials Board next to where you order. They are open Wednesday to Sunday until the end of October then will close for the winter. We will certainly return.

I turned up last night. Needed a safe place to camp overnight in my van. What a gem of a place. Joanne (landlady) was so kind and helpful. Despite being "technically " late for a meal, she produced a delicious roast dinner. £17 for overnight camp in a secluded area at the back of the pub. The ground level. Use of showers and toilet with drinking water tap available. Absolute value for money. Joanne was also very kind this morning. She ensured I received help to get my old van started. I highly recommend this establishment

2nd time here Myself and my mam and dad went for Sunday lunch and I have to say that it was absolutely outstanding. Sue is very friendly and her staff are also brilliant. The food was outstanding tasty and the puddings are also amazing. Would highly recommend it to anyone!

Proper village pub

This shop always delivers. From portion size, to value for money and friendly staff. However last night they excelled themselves. Our takeaway was first class. Well done everyone, thank you so much 🙏 I'll be back 😊
