The best restaurants in Durham South County Durham North East

Absolutely wonderful! I'm so happy to have come across this lovely little café, the person who served us was so friendly and welcoming and the food is so good! There's a wide variety of vegan friendly options, homemade and locally sourced food and drinks, Honeymans of Bowburn is a true gem in the community! We'll definitely be going back in future 🥰 Thank you! Update: Edit to add photos after second visit (mince pie, sausage and mustard pasty, apple and berry turnovers if I remember right!) Easily 5*, had a lovely chat with the owner and delicious food at very reasonable prices. I've had both dine in and take away food from here, good for any meal of the day, snacks or packed lunches for work/picnics etc. I happily recommend them to everyone!

Lovely cafe for coffee and cake

They Don't know how to talk to customers. And the food is not at all Indian.

Alojarse en el Croxdale Inn. Pero la comida aquí es genial también! ¡Propietario de Praveen! ¡Es un humano de cena! El bar público es un lugar hermoso! ¡Beber y socializar! Los lugareños siempre quieren hacer conversación! Esto es Viajeros, Vacacionistas, estancias Paradise!

The hotel, grounds & lodges are excellent. The service is great & staff are friendly & make you welcome. The interior of the hotel has interesting features including pictures and the light-fittings. The menu is extensive there is something to suit all tastes. We dinned in the restaurant & were very pleased with our choices well done chef.

Without doubt, the best Indian takeaway within a 5 mile radius of Durham City and we’ve tried them all. Good quality ingredients and cooked to perfection.

Wonderful inn, great food and drink. Lovely service with extremely friendly staff. I had a wonderful stay, I really appreciate everything Karan & Peter and the rest of their staff did. Very good value for money in terms of what you get as a bed and breakfast. Decent shower, no issues to report in the room. Full English was wonderful and the host was pleasant. A heads up that the hotel WiFi requires signup to the free Sky service, not my cup of tea so I passed on that, but I rarely use hotel WiFi anyway. A very short drive from Durham, very well placed, ample street parking around, very quiet roads too, a very cozy residential neighbourhood.

As fair as British Chinese goes, this is the best in Durham The new home cooked chips are absolutely bangin. The sweet and sour is just right, none of that vinegar after taste. The curry is classic. The only draw back isn't even a draw back. It's that they tell you 15 minutes then only put the chips in when you arrive so you have to wait for them, but then they're fresh. Worth the wait imo. Got a bus out to Bowburn from central Durham cause I missed it when I moved away. Will keep coming back. Begging for delivery.

Thank you italian farmhouse managers and staff. What an outstanding service I have had. I hired italian farmhouse for my daughters birthday and from start to finish the service I received was amazing. I was unsure of what I wanted and kept swapping and changing my mind not once was I made to feel this was an issue,I just in the end decided I wanted something basic and simple like sausage rolls, wedges, sandwiches. I got this with the fun element for kids making their own pizza! They loved it and went down a treat! I have a niece who I didnt inform had a nut allergy ( my bad ) they were prepared to clean all surfaces allow us to check ingredients and make something for her but understandably said whilst they would do their best they couldn't guarantee so we declined and they allowed us to order in a pizza, this obviously is someones business but I feel to do this they want more than just money they want to give and make customers feel valued and welcome I was so impressed. Staff constantly checked everything was ok, constantly asked if anything else was needed they were prompt in bringing out food and keeping the area clean and tidy, nothing at all seemed to be a bother to them. I also had a courtesy call making sure all had went ok as I'd changed my mind that many times. Thank you so much italian farmhouse for an amazing memory for my little girl. We will most definitely be becoming regulars!

Called in for a meal service was perfect the waitress was so helpful and friendly the dining area was nice clean and homely.meal came out and it was unedable a dumpling that was as hard as rocks meal microwaved beyond redemption. Then found out the kitchen is only a two star hygiene which explains the shocking meal .will never return

Costa chai latte is the best its warm cosy inviting and food is always fresh

Everything was absolutely delicious. The meat was so tender. It was just falling apart. Vegetables was fresh home-made Yorkshire puddings. mouthwatering. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality home-made grub friendly service and friendly dog friendly ⭐️

We prefer BK To Macdonalds because the chips are so much better. We always sit watching the queues for Macdonalds and wonder why! We travel to BK as not one local But we always enjoy our food. No queues and served hot

30 minutes plus for one jacket with beans and cheese, don't know what is going on in the kitchen. Counter staff are polite but generally a poor experience 😕

I don't even live in Bowburn but it's well worth the travel as my local pizza place has gone from average to terrible. Food is delicious and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommended
