The best restaurants serving British food in Aycliffe North County Durham North East

Very disappointed. Ordered 2 adult pork, 1 adult beef and 2 kids beef. The adult dinners came upside down! The adult beef didn't arrive and the swede and stuffing were very watery. Needless to say, I won't be ordering from here again! I paid £35 to get no dinner.

Having arrived at a surprise birthday party on Saturday 1st July at the Phoenix club in Newton Aycliffe and seeing how much hard work the family and friends had done on the birthday boys behalf it was very disappointing to see the DJ who was recommend by the club basically threating to turn the music off if he wasn't paid in full. The family were very shocked and distressed with this behaviour as they had just arrived in the room, also during the night when asked to play up to date songs he's reply was that he was playing to an older crowd and just played what he wanted even though it was a 30th and not a 70th birthday with an average age in the room of between 18-35. He also stopped playing at exactly 11pm and just disappeared from the room and as the family and friends started to tidy and do what the club had asked by putting table and chairs away and tidying up the bar staff were busy taking their drinks of which some were full drinks and all before 11:10pm just after they had bought them at 11:00pm. You can see why this club is struggling if they treat people like this we will defiantly not be using this club for any more organised events or even for a normal night out.

First, they take card payments so thats a plus. I was in a bind and needed something quick and hot for my 5 year old whilst awaiting an emergency doctors appointment in the building adjacent. Saw there was a childs meal deal option £3.50. Small sausage and some chips were the ony things ready to walk straight out with. Lady who served me was a bit blunt, seemed annoyed I just wanted food for my child, and then when asking if the childs meal came with a drink or if I needed to buy one she rolled her eyes and said no but I could have one anyway. Bit of an odd experience.

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips. Done to perfection. My fish had been battered to exactly how I requested. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Will definitely go back.
