The best restaurants in Crook North and Tow Law County Durham North East

Went for Sunday lunch , celebrating a birthday there was 7 of us , it was warm and friendly , service was excellent, food was superb, not one complaint from any of us , can’t wait to go back, other guests said evening meals were just as good ,

Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in the last 10 years. Chris is an incredible chef and his staff mirror his standards. Can’t recommend enough… make the most of this place while it’s still there. Cant see this setup staying where it is, they are top top quality!!

Beautiful would recommend this place we have been many times and always excellent food red hot and clean and tidy will be back mothers day for lunch with the family xx

Wide range of bakery items, all homemade on site and great tasting. Some of the nicest people you could possibly meet who really care about people in the community.

Small cafe with some seating. Reasonable range of product offerings all home cooked right down to real potato chips. Everything freshly cooked. Bacon rolls large, well filled and gorgeously fresh. Millionaires shortbread delicious. Obviously popular with locals popping in for a chat and to pick up pre ordered food.

Great food and great service. Great value for money.

A diamond amongst cafes. Great home-cooked food, friendly service, generous portions at prices that would please even a Yorkshireman, and unbelievably good chips of the kind that used to be standard decades ago, hand-cut and deep fried in fresh lard I imagine, keeping their texture taste and freshness even when cooling, and putting most of the chips in more expensive places to shame. We followed our steaklets with two large portions of minty aero cheesecake, which I imagine was home made too, deliciously rich and creamy. It's worth coming up the A68 just for this - well done ladies!

Went for Sunday lunch carvery and can honesty say was the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had, 4 choices of meat and all fresh Veg even Had my favourite mushy peas. Busy place but very well organised. Will definitely return 10/10 can’t be beaten Thank you

Food ok, but service very slow. Sadly we went for food and they had ran out of rice. Who really wants to eat a Thai curry with chips. Improvements needed regrading service and the noise and swearing that can be heard in the restaurant from the bar. It was like been in a bar full of sailers. Maybe a door needs putting on from the bar to restaurant? Bar staff was very slow. Repeatedly asked for menus, took 20 minutes to take our order from getting menus, restaurant was quite so would understand a little if it was busy. Food come out in dribs and drabs. My main come out 5 minutes before my husbands. These few issues need addressing and it could become a little gold mine.

Hoy tuvimos comida de los domingos allí. Cálida bienvenida, una decoración preciosa y deliciosa, comida de alta calidad muy bien cocinado. Una de las mejores experiencias de comida de domingo que hemos tenido, y hemos tenido unas cuantas puedo decir! Sin duda será devuelto. Casi no quiere decir a todo el mundo sobre en caso de que no podemos conseguir una mesa, pero los propietarios se merecen una buena crítica. Menú de semana parece muy bueno.

Pretty much of a muchness. I have done a lot of travelling in my life and I would say it is adequate, the food is in my opinion exceptional although the local services and hotel don't cater for the traveller who has forgotten for an example a shaving razor early in the morning, and no time to obtain one while attending a family funeral. Hopefully it will improve over a period as they improve with experience.

Have eaten at The Duke of York on 4 occasions in the past and never been disappointed, the pub is very welcoming and comfortable, the food is extremely good and a very varied menu. It is the first place I think of when am in the area on holiday.

Called in whilst in the area on business. Can't understand why this isn't much higher rated. All our food was beautiful, we had a mixture of pizzas and kebabs. The homemade chilli sauce and garlic mayonnaise are outstanding, wish I could buy bottles to take home. Huge portions of food, will be back when next in the area

Shocking absolutely shocking. I won't even begin to tell you what its like . But please spend £50.00 somewhere else because to be honest worst takeaway I have ever had , they could offer me the £50.00 back in credit, but I will never eat the food again , disgusting

2 nights running I used this place. the first night they missed off the free garlic bread which I wrote in the box. The next night they got most the order wrong. 3 of the 4 meals were totally wrong. Mainly my sons chicken wrap which became chicken and Donner! (He does not like Donner!!). the free pizza we were told could have an extra topping on because of last night's mistake. Well guess what it was missing!! My wife ordered chips and gravy and was told there was no gravy so changed it for a small chicken wrap! Well, that did not turn up, but a tray of chip did!!! When my wife complained he had a bad attitude??? I spent nearly £45!! But their loss! Too many fast-food places to pick from to use these again!
