The best restaurants serving British food in County Durham North East

Returned to this village pub restaurant to sample their menu after a change of chef. No longer an Italian restaurant though they still offer good pizzas and some pasta dishes prepared by their Italian sous chef. The new chef has extended the menu to include more bistro type dishes. The belly pork and beef cheeks were delicious. Service and atmosphere continue to be exemplary. Lovely to sit in their curtained gazebos or pergolas on a sunny Summer evening.

Amazing! First off, the staff are so friendly. They never hesitate to answer any questions and make you feel so welcome, no matter the day/time. The decor and the atmosphere are great. I keep finding new details to admire. Love the surprise in the ladies’ loo as well! 🤫✨ The new menu is to die for! Gorgeous. I hate to admit I’ve had two burgers in the space of a week but can’t resist. This isn’t bog standard stuff - this is a menu that’s been properly thought through and they’ve thought outside the box! Unique things I haven’t seen before - super tasty. Try it all. The cocktail menu is equally fab - loads of choice and beautifully presented.

A really lovely little restaurant. Serves very nice home made food. Staff are fab and the food is so tasty. It's always busy and just such a lovely friendly traditional place. Mine and my best friends favourite spot for lunch

First time visit to Paws for 5 , had an excellent morning Kaiser our 18 week old Rottweiler puppy throughly enjoyed himself. We both had a lovely fried breakfast, tea and Lattes at very reasonable prices.

Fantastic food. Really fresh and good quality food. This is a must visit outlet we are definitely going back to try out more of the menu.

Nice chocolates and presentation for Christmas. Plenty of choice / flavours. And nicely wrapped. appreciated by recipient.

Beautiful would recommend this place we have been many times and always excellent food red hot and clean and tidy will be back mothers day for lunch with the family xx

I found this sandwich shop by chance, in the middle of a housing estate. I had a meal deal which included a very fresh and very generous ham salad bun, crisps, a can of pop and a chocolate muffin all for £3.50....amazingly they also had beautiful homemade cakes which I couldn't resist. I will definitely be back and can't recommend enough.

A wonderful family bakery, long may they continue, standards are excellent. Please support local businesses like this , we need them in our towns . The staff are lovely and the food is out of this world , I am so lucky they are in my town , thank you everyone.

First Class Service This Company is a Credit to its Owner Not Like Some of your larger businesses Products and Selection Fantastic Would recommend to All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😃

We’re not vegans, merely vegetarians! However it was a lovely surprise to stumble across this stall whilst on a walk around Durham. Whilst not hungry at the time, we bought some pastries and a scotch egg for later, purely because it was nice to see a trader specialising in meat free (or in this case vegan) products and not someone making a token effort. All of of our food tasted awesome and we’ll definitely make a point of visiting here to try something else the next time we are in Durham.

Best Greggs in Durham, really helpful and friendly staff, nothing is too much bother, shop is clean and tidy, and food is delish.

I get 150 trip advisor points for writing this, I hope they can be cashed in for something useful, coffee hot and black like I like it so 5 stars
