The best restaurants in Tanfield County Durham North East

A great find especially when also looking for a nice walk nearby. You don’t have to ride the train to use this station tea room. Large car park, dog friendly, check opening hours - car park closes at 2.30pm Lovely, friendly lady served us with very nice coffee and cheese toasties as we sat next to the log burner. Pasties and pies looked very nice and the cakes looked so yummy we couldn’t resist having some to takeaway ( it was delicious) We can thoroughly recommend and will definitely return

An excellent place to stop after or during a good dog walk, the best coffee I’ve had in the area. The staff are so friendly and happy, it gave me a very homely feel. The cake brought back such happy memories of eating my nans cooking, thank you so much for that. I will definitely be back for breakfast with friends as it’s in an ideal and accessible location while being peaceful. A very good spot for autistics and other neurodivergent people.

Piping hot, quick, accurate delivery very reasonable prices and very good portions.100% ordering again. For those who use pavilion this is better!!

Staff were really friendly and helpful along with my full English breakfast being beautiful and more than enough food along with large drinks.

Good value nicely cooked pub grub! I had the mixed grill which was massive! Friendly staff and pretty quick service considering how busy it was. We had a dessert each which was great too. Recommended 👍🏻

If you like your coke chopped and sniffed rather than in a glass then it’s ok. Frequented by every low life in the area with regular late night fights outside. Was ok when it first opened but now no decent people go

Everyone’s bullies even the bar staff. Should be shut down!!

Met up with some mates in Stanley before starting our road trip down to Dover then Calais, they were already tucking into some breakfast goodies, so I opted for a Full English and a coffee for myself, just to be sociable. Reading through some of these reviews and I’m wondering if I was in the same place? I found the staff were very attentive, polite and friendly, the breakfast beautifully cooked, well presented and substantial, the coffee excellent. Shamrock Bar in Stanley is a decent little cafe that serves decent food, I’m more than happy to recommend.

We had a meal here as we were stopping at hotel 52. We had a delicious meal. The waitress Lucy was wonderful as was the young man behind the bar. They were on their own without the manager and did a brilliant job

Ordered chicken wrap with salad got home and opened a chip wrap with salad all in wrap returned to shop and got what I originally ordered. Got home and got a salad wrap with very small pieces chicken and struggled to find much chicken the whole thing was disgusting and went in the bin. So that was my first and last visit to God Father when you order a chicken wrap you expect succulent pieces of chicken on a small bed of salad NOT a salad wrap with a few scatty pieces of chicken mixed in salad NEVER AGAIN sorry.

been a few times and always leave something off the order would avoid if possible

Order never showed up but was apparently delivered when it wasn’t

Ordered 3 large pizzas via Just Eat app. Delivered on time, still hot and tasty. Garlic bread with cheese very good too. Would order from here again.
