The best restaurants in Esh County Durham North East

I visited with my wife who has Coeliac Disease. We have been here on a number of previous occasions when there was gluten free cake and biscuits available. The coffee is lovely, however when we visited at 15:00 on a Tuesday, there was a very limited choice of cake and no gluten free options at all. Staff seemed indifferent and started turning off the lights and clearing up at 15:40 despite the advertised closing time of 16:00.

Authentic beautiful home cooker Thai food, fab service in a small very clean café I would highly recommend it and we will defiantly be back

we visit this pub on weekends and thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere .there is always something going on singers or turns.the staff in here are extremely friendly and professional obviously enjoying their work..always get a nice pint reasonably priced..keep up the good work

Really lovely pub, great food and amazing value.

Everything was lovely at the Quebec tearoom , I didn't give 5 stars cos I always think there is room for improvement.. They had some cards for sale on the counter just my opinion would have been nice to have some other things for sale.

Called last minute to ask for a room and revived a warm welcome.Heard lots of interesting stories about the pub and the area. Hosts efficient, helpful and friendly.Room very clean, and bed very comfortable. Breakfast- a simple but excellent selectionThank you for your hospitality and warm welcome.

Fantástico descanso en el Royal Oak. Gente cálida genuina, pub encantador, habitación acogedora con todo lo que pueda necesitar. ¡Y la comida! Cocinado en casa, abundante y delicioso; eso incluye el desayuno! Muy recomendable ☺️

Had lovely family meal to celebrate my daughter's graduation. Lovely food, great service at good prices! We have been going for years and had a lovely, lovely evening!

Friendly staff. Fantastic views if you’re lucky enough to get the window seats. Have eaten a few times here and always accommodating to add or change things to meals on menu. Had turkey sandwich with home made chips on last visit which was delicious. Dogs are allowed in an area of the pub with water bowls supplied.

No hemos estado aquí por un tiempo y 5 de nosotros vinimos a comer el domingo. No habíamos reservado y estaban bastante ocupados. Cuatro de nosotros cenamos asado y uno tostado. Dos cenaron más pequeños. La comida era muy agradable de hecho, no podíamos fallar, pero por desgracia el servicio no era genial. Teníamos 3 camareras en total. Tuvimos que esperar bastante tiempo para hacer nuestro pedido y también para esperar la comida. Pero cuando llegó la comida no obtuvimos cubiertos, luego cubiertos insuficientes y no obtuvimos ninguna verdura. Cuando cuestionamos esto nos dieron unos pocos - eventualmente - pero en realidad no lo suficiente para 4 cenas asadas. Comida de excelente calidad, pero el servicio no coincide. También cuando pagamos no nos cobraron correctamente por los 2 platos más pequeños.

Very comfortable delicious breakfast & a lovely atmosphere, have only had breakfast here but would highly recommend

We booked our stay on line. Didn’t read much about it, just checked it was all on one level. Wish we could have stayed longer than one night! Out 2 rooms were lovely and clean, warm and welcoming. Reception explained everything clearly to us. Our only criticism was the bed was very low. Comfortable but low down. If we had stayed longer I would have asked to change room. Breakfast was amazing, everything you could ask for and more. All that we had was of good quality. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Pizza and chips good. Cheescake for afters frozen solid. Wanted to eat it tonight not tomorrow

We came for dinner on a Tuesday. They weren't as busy as usual. I had a fillet steak which was lovely and perfectly cooked. The portions are ridiculously large and the quality of the food is excellent. Value is great.
