The best restaurants in Crook South County Durham North East

Had the most amazing festive afternoon tea here with friends. Everything was delicious & a party member with coeliac disease was well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. I believe that everything was made with love....sign of the best establishmets.

A really lovely little restaurant. Serves very nice home made food. Staff are fab and the food is so tasty. It's always busy and just such a lovely friendly traditional place. Mine and my best friends favourite spot for lunch

Great restaurant. The best I’ve ever been with my family. Great food and great service. The fillet was amazing and the wine was real Italian wine.

Had a fantastic few hours at the Blue Bells Cowpen Bewley yestersay. Fantastic food, great staff, wonderful atmosphere. 33 of us attended a family surprise lunch/party for my sister in law. So so good. Staff were so helpful and obliging and the food was superb. If i have a complaint it's that portions were huge. Food was so good that it seemed a shame we couldn't finish it all. An all round fabulous experience for both adults and children. Will certainly visit again. Oh and the price wasnt ectortionate either - lot lower than expected. Thank you

Excellent service Great tasting fish and chips upstairs restaurant well worth a visit in the area

Food was excellent all staff very polite and helpful.A very good menu especially the deserts.We would certainly recommend The Copper Mine.

Good food and lovely friendly staff. We've been going here for a lot of years and are always looked after and well fed. Thanks

Great night on New years Eve with Kara Morgan. Great friendly staff and a wonderful buffet supplied by Maggie and friends, thankyou 😊

Wonderful staff, good food, clean toilet. Gave us a sausage for our two dogs! We will definitely come back and sample some more goodies!😄😄

The best pizza for miles around. Been ordering from here for years and never had a bad takeaway. Always absolutely delicious. THE BEST chicken nuggets we’ve ever tasted too - thoroughly recommend

Great place for food on the go great staff always pleasant and friendly and helpful service is great and food is great value for money

First time ordering here and unfortunately the last time. We ordered 1x korma, 2x tikka masala, popadoms and dip. 3 rice, 1x cheese naan. The tikka was absolutely swimming with oil when I removed the lid. It was extremely tomatoey and didn’t taste like masala at all. Korma tasteless. The popadoms were stale and couldn’t be eaten. The naan had no cheese that I could find and was burnt round the edges. The rice was very watery. The yoghurt dip was curdled. Really disappointed, we traveled for this after reading other reviews.

Disappointed tonight. Ordered king prawns hariali....small prawns, sauce totally different to usual harialis...usually green made with plenty of spinach, cream and garlic. This was a brown flavourless sauce. Chicken Jalfrezy also not great very bland. Garlic rice quite greasy.

corn beef and potato pasty absolutely gorgeous much better quality than greggs

We stopped while passing through the town wile visiting the area. Food is unique and delicious. Not your average pub grub. We had the mixed grill in their signature peanut and lime marinade. Absolutely delicious and tender. Never had anything quite like it!
