Lovely food and very quick service will definitely be back! Cake counter also looked delicious and all homemade I will have to try next time!

I get 150 trip advisor points for writing this, I hope they can be cashed in for something useful, coffee hot and black like I like it so 5 stars

Cracking little bar hidden away down the alley! Great drinks selection and lovely to have fresh mulled wine and cider on the go to complement the festive decorations. Great indoors and outside as there are quartz heaters at each table in the garden. Fab highly recommended by our group of old farts! 👏👏👏

Great little village pub, ran by the locals, so friendly, we stayed at the stable cottage it was literally over the road, would recommend to anyone if in the area to visit this little hidden gem, x

We booked Coghlans at Barningham to do some external catering for us for our Wedding at The Blackton Grange Estate, on the 9th December 2024. Andrew and Janet were fantastic!! I would highly recommend the team to anyone needing their services. They were amazing from the point of contact, all the way up to the big day. We had an initial consultation over the phone a few months prior to the wedding, where we sorted out the wedding breakfast and a meal plan for the day before the wedding. This was all sent over via email and a price was agreed. The day before the wedding Andrew came to the venue and dropped off a meal for us to reheat in the oven as we arrived, he brought fresh bread, jams, pain au chocolates and croissants for the morning of the wedding, along with fresh local milk and butter, which was all delicious. On the morning of the wedding, Andrew and Janet arrived promptly and set everything up in the kitchen. They provided all of the crockery, cutlery and table linen and set out the table following our seating plan. Andrew and his team even went the extra mile pouring us some celebratory glasses of bubbles after the ceremony, and then announced us into the dining room, we really weren't expecting them to do any of this for us, but they absolutely pushed the boat out and made us feel so special on the big day. The food was all delicious, a full 3 course wedding breakfast and plenty of extras for those with big appetites. There was more than enough food for all of our guests and everyone commented how tasty it all was. It didn't stop there, Andrew then made sure all of our guests had drinks and kept the wine and bubbles flowing all afternoon, they even went to the trouble of carving my fathers meat up for him as he is disabled. After the meal, Andrew and Janet cleared everything away, including the dirty dishes, and they left the kitchen spotless!! Coghlans also provided a grazing table for the evening, which they left with us. What an absolute credit to the day Andrew and Janet were, they really made our day go without a hitch. We would absolutely recommend Coghlans for a catering service to anyone getting married in this area, you will not be disappointed!! Mark & Anna

We happened across the Tees’Pot by accident after we had visited Low Force for a morning walk so we decided to give it a go. It’s quite basic in appearance and small but in a very quaint way. Please don’t let this put you off going in. After we were seated we all ordered some food the cheese scones and soup (curried vegetable) were very nice. My father in law had two mince pies with cream and he thoroughly enjoyed them. The food was extremely well prepared and filling. The staff are friendly and know their menu well. The prices seemed reasonable for a cafe in a tourist area and I’d go there again if I was in the area.

Brilliant choice of beers and spirits! Friendly landlord who made us feel very welcome. The homemade pizza was excellent, a lovely village pub with the a beautiful beer garden

Really good pizza, friendly staff. Worth pre ordering as they only accept cash in store

Had a fabulous experience dining here and our waitress Netti was lovely.

Great front of house staff and excellent food. Vegan options available. Menu well understood by waiters who can advise on allergens.

Not open, but delightful location.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Great choice of menu. The beef dinner was gorgeous. Beef served pink with a lovely array of vegetables and big portions! Liked it so much booking again for Sunday coming.

Amazing place food was fantastic. Atmosphere great and fab service from the lovely sam!! Defo be going back highly recommend

We were a group of four couples who dropped in for a drink on our walk. The staff were very friendly and accomadating. We didn't eat there but the Sunday lunches looked amazing (next time😋) after a couple of drinks the ladies decided to walk back leaving the men to have another pint 🫣. Anyway I think it was the lovely landlady who ended up dropping them back in Romaldkirk village. That is superb customer service. So a big thank you from the four old codgers xxxx

Great local pub with a great selection of drinks and a good pool table definitely recommend🍺 Great quiz night as well definitely recommend
