The best restaurants in North East

Cup cakes are beautiful and 4 for £6 is a bargain, man on the stall in Durham today was lovely, friendly and patient while we took a while to decide as everything looked amazing 👏

We've been here a few times but, since we last went, the owners have made the decision to be mainly takeout with a small amount of seating indoors and outside. We really wanted to dine in or sit outside and, with the outdoor seating being very popular today due to the sunshine, we opted to sit on the very comfortable bar stools at the side. Our yummy lunch was delivered in minutes and it was well presented in a little basket. I opted to get a takeaway coffee to take back to the car and it was delicious (and in a fully compostable cup). I thoroughly recommend the flat white and biscuit syrup which takes like biscoff. Overall, our experience was wonderful and it's clear that the staff really care about their customers and are super helpful. Thanks to all three of you for such as lovely lunch.

Esperienza unica in questa location meravigliosa e curata in ogni particolare. Il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile. Il cibo è delizioso a partire dai sandwich per arrivare al brownie con la crema calda. I migliori scones che abbiamo mai mangiato! Consiglio a chiunque di venire al Tea Garden.

I love this place food is delicious, staff are always happy to help if its needed such a warm friendly atmosphere. Can grab yourself a lovely bargain with all the unique things they have for sale. Best place in stanley co durham

Pizzas and parmos are to die for! Absolutely delicious! My child commented best pizza they'd had. Fresh cut home cooked chips seal the deal! Good size portions definitely fill you up and make you want to order again. Delivered quickly by friendly driver. I would definitely recommend you won't be disappointed! Thank you! xx

Had a great night out here! Fun atmosphere and good value drinks. A valuable part of the community and very welcoming.

We had a toastie, crab sandwich and a coffee and it was freshly made with fresh quality ingredients and absolutely delicious! Watching them cater patiently for all requests (no butter, extra pickle etc) is admirable and at peak times, as long as you are prepared to wait a short time, you won’t be disappointed.

Trigo were amazing caters for my party. Very professional and friendly service and absolutely delicious pizza. Everyone at the party was very impressed. I would strongly recommend.

Realising we wouldn't have time for a sit down meal before catching the train home from Durham we found this great place on the way back to the station. Good vegetarian hot options katsu pumpkin, tofu or cauliflower or spicy tofu served with either rice or noodles. We went for the large pumpkin katsu to share. We also grabbed some premade vegetarian sushi rolls ( tofu cucumber and red pepper) as well aa cucumber maki from the fridge. These both came with sachets of soy sauce, pickled ginger, wasabi and 3 edamame pods as well as a small plastic pot for the soy sauce. A delicious takeaway dinner to complete our day in Durham. You definitely need to highlight on trip advisor that you offer good vegetarian and vegan choices.

We pop in most weeks for ice cream and it’s always a lovely experience. Today’s staff were Katie and Jackie and they made us so welcome. Pineapple and Lime and Mango and Passion fruit ice creams are definitely the best way to get some of your ‘five a day’ 😂. See you again soon.

Regular weekly coffee very good price, staff friendly.

Absolutely amazing portions! Chips were very chunky and tasty. Fish tasted amazing. Excellent menu with plenty to choose.

Went to see a band and I agree it is an ideal venue to go to for live music.TA categorise the venue as a restaurant but it should really be a music bar.

One of the best family owned cafe's in South Shields. Always a smile when we show up and the food is amazing. Julie and Ian make you feel like you're at home and not in a cafe.
