The best restaurants in Evenwood County Durham North East

The cheese is delicious and so are the pickles. I have eaten here twice. Each time, there was nowhere near enough bread - one and a half slices per person, and tiny cheese biscuits for a generous supply of cheese. This place is not cheap and I would rather have more bread and larger biscuits to go with the cheese. Each person is given only one knife, when several would be better, when moving from a blue cheese to a white cheese, for example. There was not enough butter for the table and a tiny little piece of fruitcake, although it tasted good. The new system of hosting groups only after shutting the cafe is fine, but I did not want to hear a long story about the business history when there was an agenda for the event on the day and an opportunity for group members to socialise.

Had a loavely sandwich and jacket potato here, I'm lead to believe the shop isn't open anymore but trading from their other premesis

Best Fish and Chips I've had in a long time Friendly staff and the food fantastic, local delivery Travelled from Tow Law on recommendation and could not believe the quantity and Quality of the Fish and Chips . Worth the trip

Always a great pint and great company

Very friendly cafe with very nice food. We had a breakfast and it all seemed like quality, fresh produce. Would definitely recommend.

Booked a table for 2 at 1pm. Arrived on time and chose our meals which were served in about 10 minutes. The lunches were plentiful, well cooked and nicely presented. Staff were courteous and helpful.

Our first visit here and we are very impressed at how well organised it's run by lovely friendly staff. Very clean and tidy and they have a good choice of food and yummy cakes to tempt you. The food is great, well presented and plenty of it too. We can't fault anything it's a lovely place to have a breakfast, lunch or a Sunday meal, will be back again soon to try out our more homecooked meals and some cake.Well done 68 Cafe.

Exceptional food, at a good price and very good service. Will definitely be back with family and friends. Recommend the home made pies.

Rang 5 times to book a table but just goes to voicemail asking to leave a message and someone will get back to you but nobody did. Don't know how people make reservations.

This is a countryside/locals pub (Sam Smiths) we visited with our dog and was told that dogs are not allowed! To be honest we were flabbergasted considering it’s location and there is no food served!

Was up on holiday barmaid made us welcome and had a laugh

Another fabulous visit to the Curlew Cafe at High Farm Holiday Park, wonderful friendly welcome. Great lunch and cake, followed by a lovely walk round the animals. Great place, with lovely views. Need to come back with the grandchildren

What can we say, the team brought Luigi (the Tuk) to our wedding, the gests LOVED the waffles. We had a choice of ice cream and sauces and every guest had a huge grin on their face! This was a spectacular ending to the night and the pictures we got with the Tuk are great. Highly recommend this for your event.
