The best restaurants in Chester-le-Street North and East County Durham North East

Lovely milkshake and coffee perfect from one fussy coffee drinker. Lovely staff always friendly and asking if you need help. 5 out of 5 stars.

My sister and I visited for lunch today to help them celebrate their first birthday in business. Food and service were just fantastic. We love coming up from Chester-le-Street for lunch. We’ve never been disappointed right from the word go. The food is brilliant but it’s not just that it’s the staff and the atmosphere too. And today was just tremendous. The steaks were absolutely perfect. Ariano’s is a real community asset and we look forward to many more visits. In fact I’m coming with another group of friends later next week. You just can’t keep me away. Well done to everyone. ❤️❤️❤️

Great food served piping hot. All freshly cooked with generous size portions. We would have had a dessert but too full to order. Very courteous service and nothing too much trouble to do.

Definitely won’t use these again.. 1 hour late on delivery no call back, then on pickup shown nothing but aggressive.. may even call the police.

Good old fashioned pub, with good beer and home made food.

A similar theme to a 1950s American Diner in the furniture Citrone’s has. A place where you can sit with your friends and family and bond over the week you’ve had over coffee and some good food. The place is full of life, you can feel it and see it when you walk in the door. The service is brilliant, everyone is welcoming and warm when you approach the counter. The food is the best I’ve had in a very long time and it’s a big reason I come back at least 3 times a month. All their food is cook to order and it doesn’t take long to cook either, it’s fresh and hot always when you pick it up. Which makes it one of the best places in Chester-Le-Street just for that reason alone; however the other reasons such as the ones mentioned above make it THE best place in area. Great food, great atmosphere and great overall experience. If you were interested in going here, do it. You won’t regret it.

Always get from a this place! Best food I’ve ever tasted 😁🌟

Been coming to Kens for 40 years now,finest chinese in the land, chicken curry still the best.. Great staff very helpful. Singapore Chow Mein also is gorgeous. Probably the only Chinese take away I know where everyone refers to it as Kens(the owner) as opposed to it's real name Sunrise. Now has his sister helping out on the counter. Great service. Probably tried everything on the menu by now all great and tasty. Looking forward to him opening again think I have Chicken Curry deficit!! Just keep going back for a chicken curry hot hot hot

Still the best takeaway in County Durham and possibly the uk 🇬🇧, old school all the way , you can’t ask for more really . Best

Arrived very early on a snowy Saturday morning staff were very friendly and welcoming a very tast cup of coffee ☕️ x

We go here as a group on a regular basis and always have great food. The staff are friendly and good fun. We go as a group and it's never too loud, we can always hear the conversation. Prices are reasonable and food is good quality. Highly recommend Deanos. Already booked for our next meet up

Lovely Sunday dinner ordered for the whole family everyone loved it 😍

Bit pricey but nice surroundings so highly reccomend

I was visiting Tideswell for the weekend with my boys and came across this gem of a restaurant . We really hadn’t expected much in such a small place but we’re really pleased that the food was of great quality ( esp the seafood), well presented and reasonably priced. The portions were large enough to keep the boys happy ! The staff were attentive and the chef was also welcoming. Lovely little restaurant ! If passing will definitely visit again.

You won't get better value for food here. Great food lovely owner and staff, and, to be honest, it's a no brainer with mains for around a fiver home cooked and filling if you haven't tried the food here what are you waiting for! Do it!
