The best restaurants in Mowden Darlington North East

I went here for a craft fair and the staff were very welcoming.

booked in a few weeks ago for a table of 14 pre ordered our food and arrived half an hour before our booking to have drinks we were asked to have a set at our table we ordered drinks and they promptly arrived once all our party arrived we went to make the staff aware which they were very polite and shortly after our meals started to arrive everything was piping hot and tasted delicious what a great evening lovely staff and great company thank you

First experience of a decent Chinese carry out in Darlington. Good value and very tasty. Cash only was a surprise but thankfully they are set up for bank transfer so initial panic averted. Will be using again.

Where do I start with this one? Was back in Darlington visiting Mum and we decided to visit friends in Mowden. I thought I’d treat them all to a fish lunch and popped into this fish & chip shop. What a mistake! Firstly, the large Japanese looking woman with the 1980s hair was quite rude with a young lad in front of me. The girl serving had no customer service skills or manners whatsoever. She was very aggressive and constantly sighing. I asked for 2 fish and chips and 2 sausage and chips and got a TUT!!!! I really should have walked out there and then and saved my money. The food was absolutely disgusting! More grease than I’ve even seen. Soggy, revolting tasting fish and the chips were not nice at all. Our friends told us afterwards that it’s an awful fish shop and they go elsewhere, and that the good reviews on their Facebook page were put by the owners friends and family. I wish I’d read the reviews on here first! Absolutely appalling!
