The best restaurants in Gilesgate County Durham North East

Lovely candlelit afternoon tea on a very cold snowy Sunday. Homemade cakes, sandwiches, scones & trifle and a warm welcome by the lady running the tearoom. A bit of a walk from the centre of Durham in the snow for two visiting ladies, but worth the trek. You do need to pre-book.

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff! Went here for breakfast after dropping a car off for its MOT in the industrial estate, very nice home cooked breakfast with excellent service.

Awesome!!! Great range of vegan items too!! Loved it!!

Absolutely fabulous food Clean and healthy grub Great atmosphere to eat in Staff were very friendly and very reasonably priced Definitely worth a visit

Love this place ! Whenever I need healthy and yummy food, quiet time or both, I know there is this place to go to or to get take away from 😌 The prices are very reasonable, the portions are generous and it tastes wonderful ! Service is very good too 🙂

Best breakfast ever super freindly dog freindly went out and fed my digs sitting in the van sausage and bacon

Great food, friendly staff and a great place for two non-stop natterers to catch up over lunch. The baked potato cheese savoury is soooo delicious! And the soups and panini are also excellent. I will be coming again 😊

Brilliant food. Staff very friendly

I love Cooplands their salad boxes are the best shop bought salads around, that been said, today there was only quiche ones left. I asked the server if they had a chicken and bacon one in the back. She said no. Please note that when this has happened before,( twice in this store and once in chester-le-street) the server has made one up for me. This was not to be today and there was only myself and my daughter in the shop and I saw 2 members of staff on duty . My daughter chose 3 sweet items and I went to pay when I noticed the sign offering discount for Blue Light members I told the server I had my Blue Light card the server said it was too late as she had already started the transaction. Double wammy for me. When leaving the shop my daughter said 'I can't believe that mam it's not like she hasn't got a back button or anything'. How right she is.

Upon the wall are the words: Be real. Be unique. Be honest. Be happy. They sum up this lovely independent coffee shop. Good food, well priced, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The soup and cold sandwich special is superb value, and always delicious. Only one thing lets the place down, and it can be easily rectified. The loo is in need of brightening up, and a little TLC. The toilet didn't flush for myself or the previous visitor, and the tap is coming away from the wash basin. A coat of light-coloured paint, a couple of large, light-bouncing mirrors and some basic maintenance would make this small but important space fit for an otherwise great cafe.

No sé qué ha pasado pero la comida ha cambiado. No es tan bonito como solía ser, y platos han cambiado. Es una pena, siempre ha sido mi favorito chino.

Haven't used shop for quite sometime but thought I would try again Not disappointed with the large chicken Kiev pizza, which was delicious and would go again for this or try another topping.Very disappointed with potato wedges and onion rings az they were cold but had the potential to be very good. The garlic sauce was exceptional.

This was the usual Premier Inn. Very clean with a comfy bed. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Good comfortable room, very pleasant staff, excellent value. Quite noisy in the early hours, and the music from the pub went very late.

I was one of the lucky winners of the prize draw. It was delicious many thanks.
