The best restaurants in Murton County Durham North East

Lovely evening meal with family enjoyed by all. The food was excellent and the service was timely. i would thoroughly recommend.

We called here after being caught up in traffic for ages . It's in Dalton Park. It was such a cold day. The cafe was warm and busy. It sells tea in teapots that gives two large cups of hot tea. A pot per person. We had chips. One wiith curry sauce, one with gravy. Nice big plate of freshly made chips each. Hot sauce in a little bowl. Hot tea .Friendly service, Plenty of space on .table. It was the perfect cure for my headache, cost £7 each and worth every penny. We went on to enjoy the Christmas market. Been here before. Sell good food .Nice efficient helpful friendly staff. Never feel rushed . Always clean

Now I understand most restaurants / takeaways will be extremely busy on New Years Eve, but from my view they let a lot of people down including myself. I placed an order and told a pick up time of 8.45. Upon arrival the restaurant was busy with a lot of angry customers (some who had waited over 2 hours in there for their food). No one greeted me or others, or asked who we were or what we had ordered. When I finally pulled someone I told them my order which was written down by them.. they then took over an hour to cook my food (and only started when I arrived) - as seemed the case for a lot of people there. Very frustrating esp when I wanted to get home and enjoy somewhat of what was left of New Year’s Eve. No apologies or no time of how long it would take.. just me sitting in there ... waiting.. it finally arrived and still no apology! Got home and part of it was wrong.. due to the time there was no way I was going back (believe they took the phone of the hook). I’ve been a customer for many years in the restaurant and takeaway.. oh and they overcharged me but at the time I just wanted food (would have been too late to order from elsewhere). I may be wrong, but don’t take so many orders that you cannot handle them, also be prepared and it’ll go smoothly! I felt for the chef, but management has let him down and the customers The only reason it’s gained a 2 star is the food! That’s saved it from a 1 star, (food spot on, service disgraceful). Because of this and no apology on line or on their FB page, I’ll be going elsewhere.

We took ny husbands mother who is in a carehome & has dementia for a day out. We stopped for a drink & ice cream. I asked if they could do a small glass of milk...that they have for their milkshakes. They said they didn't have enough & to try the cafe next door, who do...milky coffee's..Latte's in posh speak, who also had no milk... We stayed & bought an ice cream anyway. My mother-in-law spilt ice cream & had it over her hands so I asked the young lady/person at the parlour counter for a wet paper towel/cloth, anyone would've thought i'd asked for a free ice cream! The older lady/person was quietly but obviously sarcasstic & rude that i'd dare ask for a wet cloth/paper towel. Absolutely agree, if they don't sell milk as part of their menu they had every right to say no, but a milkshake is.. flavoured milk. It was more about their attitude. Rude & dissrespectful

we went to the only available pub with a pool of table only to find it covered over for a jam session.loud rock music that was very bad.very expensive place plus lets in young people that causes a bit of an edgy atmosphere no food on offer.very poor place

Very good food. Decided to give this place a go the other week. We had a box meal and salt/pepper fries. It was tasty. The place inside doesn't look the most advertising, reason for dropping a star.

Lovely customer service from Coral and Laura

It took ages to get a coffee & the seating area had no personality at all, just tables & chairs, not very homely just very sort of bland. Great muffins though.

Good coffee and a nice sit down when shopping at Dalton Park.

Good and cheap local boozer. Canny locals in there as well

The food made me feel a little but unpow but after a tactical whitey I was back feeling Powtastic!

Really enjoyed our fruit scones & cappuccino. Just chilled out now ready to go shopping.

Ordered caramel waffle latte and a Chelsea bun for myself, my friend ordered a vegan coffee and cake, by the time we’d picked up our cakes my friends’ vegan coffee was ready and a queue of people had formed so we took a seat and waited, and waited and waited. So having seen so many customers come in and get their drinks instantly I went back to ask for my caramel waffle latte, first of all I was told it had already gone out and the assistant was kind of trying to ignore me as she just continued with more orders, then she snapped ok I’ll make another but she continued with other orders and as the next person she called returned to the counter with a coffee she’d had some time and been drinking, the Starbucks assistant took her cup and tried to pass it to me saying it must be mine! I was horrified and said I don’t want someone else’s coffee, it’s already been partially consumed and handled by another customer so not hygienic but also we’re in the middle of a pandemic. She made me wait a while then passed a cup, looking nothing like the caramel waffle latte on the posters and not knowing if she’d topped up the other cup I retired to the table where my friend had finished her coffee & cake alone, so I ate my then sad dry bun and as I was leaving spoke to a supervisor about the lack of customer service, care and food hygiene safety. I asked for the branch number snd name as I wanted to put in an official complaint but was told the web address would find them, the assistant would be spoken to about making me wait and given a card for a free drink. I’ve mailed the complaints department but 10 days later not heard a thing - we won’t be visiting starbucks anytime soon, I don’t think it’s safe!!!

Popped in to try their stuffing tower meal deal. Looks nice on TV and we were pleasantly surprised how filling and tasty it was. Staff friendly and seating areas clean and tidy.

Turned up at 18:30 to be told I could only have a cold sandwich as toasters had been turned off, but shop opening times are open till 19:00.
