The best restaurants in West Auckland County Durham North East

Although the person on phone and delivery driver were nice the food did not meet our expectations. 25 mins from ordering to a delivery in Heighington for the 1st time. Chips were quite scrappy, chicken balls the batter isn't cooked properly, using too heavy of a batter. Chicken chow mein had hardly any chicken and quite bland. I ordered after reading past reviews. We will not be returning. Chinese takeaway food is not like it used to be when I were a delivery driver. Heads up to your delivery driver though who was really polite and friendly, hence why i give 5 for atmosphere. Didn't ring shop incase I said something I would regret.

Quick service from a good old fashioned Chinese. Beautiful freshly made dishes

Friendly & accommodating, amazing breakfast, not for the faint hearted. Rooms are lovely well equipped & comfortable. Attached to a cracking pub in a cute little village. Interesting saxon church over the road for the history geeks amount us.

Very flexible prices at Molly's Tearoom and antiques. Today 16/9/23 I went in for a mannequin that I had seen priced at £250 a couple of week ago. No price tag today, so I asked how much, the guy said £495. Now, was that optimistic price because I had a southern accent, I reckon that he assumed I was on holiday. I actually live in Teesdale not that far away. Definitely think he was taking the micky.

A lovely place to stop for a light snack or tea and cake. Good value, charming staff and exceptionally clean. Plus some lovely characters for people watching 🙂.

James & the wonderful team of staff I want to say a big heartfelt thankyou. As we have a disabled daughter it takes a lot of planning booking rooms & carers & planning the trip. From the start of our booking James was so helpful with information to help is even calling to say where our room would be located and already on arrival before our date of travel. When we arrived what a lovey welcome all staff amazing we had a fabulous time nothing to much trouble the team of staff truly stand out not just to us but many others to.

First time used got 5 chicken dinners will definitely use again food was bang on. Price was good service was good

Best thing about Subway is that you can create your own or what you fancy. I had the vegan 12" & my hubby had the Tuna 6". Gets quite busy in this shop at lunchtime. Both sandwiches only was £12.60

Brilliant service with great food and the drink I love Pepsi Max and not many Pub's do that.

The owner is the most ignorant man I’ve come across, appalling boozer for a pint definitely won’t be back.

Great friendly staff and always service with a smile. Coffees are made with care and taste lovely, especially the limited edition summer beans. Café itself clean and tidy and now a much more comfortable temperature.

We were served by a lovely lady called Hollie , who could not have been more polite and friendly and her attention was first class , we will definitely be back .5 star service.

We arrived at 12.30pm and had previously booked for the 6 of us to eat lunch. It was extremely busy with a big queue for food and no obvious visibility to the bar. Holly ensured everything was handled professionally despite all this showing no angst whatsoever. She ensured the excellence of service. We all went for our food which was a superb carvery. The carver ensured that there were no complaints on meat amounts ⭐️. The kids meals arrived in a timely manner and it is a definite return journey for us all. Well done .

Had to wait to be seated. Then had to wait for table t9 be cleared. Currently been waiting for 15 mins to be served. Others arriving after us have been seen and served. Appreciate it's busy but doesn't account for rudeness. Had to go and request to be served. No apology when I challenged why it had taken so long and that others served before us Food arrived wasn't very nice. Black pudding mash over the top and not really mashed. belly pork overly fatty. Mustard slaw in sandwiches??????? None existent Not impressed

Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere, even when it's busy, I enjoyed going in each day I was staying at the Premier Inn
