The best restaurants in Weardale County Durham North East

Excellent! I had a lovely time at the establishment. The staff were really warm and friendly. Definitely visiting here again.

Visited this evening after a recommendation. We were not disappointed! The pub itself was very quiet due to the storm... however we were warmly welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious - best I've had in a long, long time. Our 19 month old had a whale of a time and, again, was warmly welcomed. Very reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely be back.

Amazing friendly pub/inn Set in a lovely village. Rooms were great and clean. Breakfast was perfect. Stayed here as were at KYNREN (2.5 miles away). So much more to do around the area too Had a great night as there was a village raffle on at night. All the locals super friendly too . Many thanks to George and his team for a great stay

As always a great venue for our yearly Xmas meal out. Awesome as always

Talum on reception is brilliant and more then helpful what a lovely site i have been here many times last year Ruth who runs the clubhouse will certainly go the extra mile to ensure you have a great time I would highly recommend to stay here friendly site and great people who run it

Awful omelette. I asked not to have the chips served with an omelette and salad for £9:00 Still paid £9:00 for small salad with two fried eggs…not even combined, completely flat, crisp edges….the last thing you would describe as an omelette. Requested salad dressing ‘don’t have any’ was the answer. Small pot of mayonnaise was begrudgingly given after we requested it. Whole place smelt overwhelmingly of frying. Poor dale if it can’t summons up better food than this.

Would not let me plug my laptop in to work, because of energy costs they said! How ridiculous, must be only the coffee shop in the world with this policy. That’s one of the primary reasons people go to sit in coffee shops all day spending money. Also, nonsensical too - the cost of charging a laptop for a week non-stop would be about 20p, yet they lost my custom (I was about to order breakfast and a coffee and spend £15+) The lady who working there has an unreasonable ‘computer says no’ mentality’. Totally unwelcoming and the worst coffee shop I’ve ever been in - AVOID!

Nice food, average price. Took a while to collect our food but it was a Saturday night. Overall would recommend as a tasty take away in the village of Stanhope.

Well, a very strange experience. On entering the cafe we were spoken to by an abrupt and rude assistant. She informed us there was no hot food as it was too late (2ish) but we said that was okay we would be having coffees and cake. She was so unwelcoming and stony faced as if she didn't want the custom. I sat down and let my husband order, I was so taken aback that I actually chuckled to myself. Here is somebody so obviously unhappy in her job. On a positive note our coffee was decent and served hot. Our cheese scone was also very tasty and warm. Its a shame the customer service is abysmal- its so bad that it is good!! The door notice stated 4.00pm closing but it was closed at 3.15. We would not recommend or return.

This was our second visit here, met friends the first time, enjoyed so much came back just the two of us. Super friendly welcome. Clean, fresh and spacious room. Had a lovely, well cooked evening meal, slept like a dream and woke up refreshed for a home cooked full English. Traditional style pub, thoroughly enjoyed and will be back - thank you!

No warm welcome, no friendly hello. “Hello there, we’ve booked a table”, I said. “Wait a minute I’ve only just got in”! Coldest day of the year in winter, no fire lit and dirty hearth. “Might the fire be lit?” “I don’t know - maybe later when we get round to it”. Literally nobody else in, not surprisingly. Used to be busy and such a cosy pub with the friendly welcome you expect from a country pub. “May I see the menu please?” “In a minute.” “Can I order please?” “What do you want?” ”Wait a minute” was snapped at me. One vegetarian meal on the whole menu including starters. Used to be such a nice friendly pub but now part of a chain and ruined by current general manager. Sadly won’t be returning.

Absolutely loverly - fantastic place, friendly family owned and run & it shows. Cakes, coffees, baked goods and much more. If you are ever near to Wolsingham then don’t hesitate to drop by, you won’t be disappointed.

Called in for lunch, food and service really good, fish and chips , lovely , lovely country pub, staff really friendly

We took this way as a change from Barnard Castle, Middleton in Teesdale, Alston route. What a super drive through Stanhope and up lovely quiet roads in beautiful countryside. Hill and dale, valley after valley, rivers and burns and more stone barns than you can imagine. We just happened upon this eating place and decided that it might be the last option. We were glad we did. The staff were very friendly and helpful with a bit of humour which always goes down well. The loos are upstairs, period in style and immaculate. The whole building must have been Edwardian Tearooms and still retains many of the original features. Furnishings are “ eclectic “, I think that is the right expression. The food is homemade not the often seen homecooked. The latter is really factory food heated up like you get at Franky & Bennys. I had homemade Steak pie, very tasty and filling. I forget my wife’s choice but she enjoyed it. They had a new lady cook who took over the day before. On this experience we will be back. Aside from the food, most of the antiques seem to have disappeared except the ones we were sitting on. Don’t except to see the stuff shown in the photos, it’s not there unless they restock. Look forward to our next visit. Thanks.

Called for a Saturday tea and we were not disappointed. Fabulous quality and great portions. Not cheap but well worth the money. Will be a regular call for us now. Loads of amazing places to park up and eat so winner all round.
