The best restaurants in Weardale County Durham North East

Beyond me why it takes 30 mins to put a sausage roll and a spoon of coleslaw on a plate. Service is useless. Another man had to ask for a take away box for a sandwich after he waited 30mins. If this was a real business it would be bust.

We went to the the Bakery and tearooms today only to find it no longer has a cafe' ,we found the cafe' while looking on their site ,there was no mention of it being closed permanently ,I think they need to adjust their website to let people know this . We waisted a 40 mile round trip because of this .

Cannot fault them fish and chips are fab fish skin removed been few times now personally best in the town

We were in Stanhope and decided to pop in to Freddie's however before I placed my order I asked if they took cards, I was then totally shocked when this rather abrupt woman said if I must, then started ranting on about the bank charging her £1.20 for each transaction. If this is the case then I would suggest a notice on the window saying cash only or even a polite I would prefer cash but no problem if you only have a card response. I am very much in favour of supporting local businesses but this one does not deserve it with an attitude like that In the end we ordered 2x small fish and chips which were mediocre to average but obviously do not recommend this place and will not return.

We ordered from here on a Saturday night so it’s going to be busy but for it to take 3 hours is a joke and then when I ring up they told me it’s cos it’s been raining???
