The best restaurants in Delves Lane and Consett South County Durham North East

Found this cafe a couple of weeks ago and I have already been 3 times. Food quality is excellent and always great service.

My favourite Farm shop. Great customer service . I bought a pork tender loin, 3 rashers, 1 pork, red onion & marmalade sausage, scotch egg and 2 fruit scones all for £13.13 which is a great price. Has everything you can think of in the shop, spoilt for choice! I definitely will be back. I did today. A slice of quiche, pk 2 lemon & corriander chicken skewers, jam ( is vegan) large jammie dodger biscuit and 2 fruit scones all for £14.42 .

Very busy Friday night around 6 to 7 when I visited. I recommend ordering in advance. Slow service but everything was cooked fresh. Price was reasonable. My only issue was the fish was very greasy.

Love coming here. Staff are always friendly and welcoming from the moment you step foot through the door. Great menu and the food and drinks are lovely. Best coffee I’ve had. Must try the omelette !!!

I love coming here. Always made to feel so welcome. I've decided they have the most delicious selection of cakes in all the North East! Not open all week is probably a good thing for the waistline as I'd happily visit daily!!!!!!

Stumbled on this place while touring northern England. HUGE MISTAKE! Don't know what was worse, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, or the employees.

One of the best if not the best Sunday lunches locally

Tastes like home and home tastes so good. Impromptu bite to eat, Cheese burger and chips for me, tuna mayo sandwich for Denise, 2 flat whites. Clean plates, empty cups, fabulous service, friendly staff, great value for money. It’s proper food at a fair price, everything to like here.

Really great as ever , no pressure just good value. Spot on everytime 👌 , our boys love the Fish Bites 🐟 and the battered Sausage. 10/10. Simply the BEST ,service with a Smile. Been there night for tea and not disappointed , it was fab and always a good quantity 😌. I love the fish bits and chips they are a good size and well cooked.😋

The best night out in Consett. Cheapest around. Safety is the key. Best clientele in the area.

We visited the restaurant in June ( I have been away so couldn’t write this till now) and booked for a group of 16 ladies at 4.30. We were welcomed and looked forward to our preordered meal. The starters were fine but when the main courses started to arrive it took quite a while to serve everyone. One lady waited so long that the rest of her table had finished their meal (she had only ordered potato skins with cheese) and used glasses and the dishes from the starters were not cleared away. When the desserts were served the dishes we had used previously were not cleared either. Several people ordered crumble and custard. However only one small jug of custard was provided for 5 people and when we requested more the staff were quite reluctant saying that they had no more jugs and by the time it finally came the crumble was now cold. The crumble also had solid lumps which people couldn’t eat for fear of seriously breaking their teeth. Some of the meals were fine but the chicken in the Caesar salad had been over fried, was hard and the salad only consisted of lettuce. The chicken and chorizo risotto was stodgy. Drinks were very expensive. The staff started out being very pleasant but as the afternoon went on they were not so helpful and were quite rude a one point. Tables were finally being cleared as we left. I could understand if they were rushed off their feet but this was not the case as we were the only people eating at that time. Our group were very disappointed especially as this is an annual meal so it means a lot to us. I'm afraid we will not be returning.

Don't particularly like it but it's open late and there's worse places

the ultimate bap and hash browns bites are fantastic to get you set up for the day ...

Worst coffee I've ever had. The coffee tasted like it was made with rotten coffee beans and the milk was sour. I have contacted food standards. I have been sick from it

We have been going to Lotus Chop Suey House for years. It's our favourite takeaway 😋. Interestingly, the prices, except for chips (+40p), remain the same as pre lockdown. So now Chinese meal for two is a good bit cheaper than fish and chips 🍟 and that's for two fish, and one bag of chips!
