The best restaurants serving British food in Barnard Castle West County Durham North East

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

Had the outside catering prepare a meal with family today. Absolutely SUPERB. Food was delicious and the dessert was to die for. Many thanks to your team.

Excellent breakfast which comes with toast and preserves.The coffee is good which costs £3.20 and £10.00 for the breakfast.Maybe a little on the expensive side as it's not the biggest breakfast but everything on the plate was so good and so nice to get plum tomatoes instead of fried ones.i would definitely recommend this cafe for breakfast and with the tables outside it's a pleasant place to eat it aswell especially when the weather is like it was today

Passing through on way back from holiday. Stopped for morning break. Delicious freshly baked scone and coffee. Lovely and clean quiches looked great. What a great find would recommend.

We Travel 32 miles there and back to find once again the cafe is closed 5pm and it looks like the new owner can't handle the restaurant and the fish shop

Delicious fish and chips and award winning pies. In the summer ring ahead and book your fish and chips ready to collect. Out of season we still rang to book and collect.

Had a beautiful lunch on Saturday at The Crown. The staff are amazing, very warm and friendly. 10 out of 10. Can’t get better than that!

Met up with friends at Clarendons for lunch today, lovely staff lovely food could not fault it, it’s always a good experience at this wonderful cafe

Charming little coffee shop on the high street. Lovely welcoming staff, great coffee and light dishes too. Highly recommend!

Staff are so friendly & helpful . This is a great little cafe & deli a short walk from the High Street - well worth the effort . The cakes & coffee are divine . The deli in the adjacent room is well worth checking out- their stock of cheeses made in the north-east is extensive. We will definitely visit again when next in Barney !

Popped in for a bite to eat and a drink. Both dog and baby friendly. Nice and quick for food to come out. Ordered some cheese on toast which wasn’t on the menu for our little one and they very happily sorted this out and provided childrens cutlery and plates.

Excellent atmosphere if you like thinks old. This place dates back to 1690. Quiet location with good car parking. Good food. We had a salad and a pasta that went well together for sharing!

Really friendly caring staff. The food was fantastic and beautifully presented. We had dinner, bed & breakfast which was good package price. The bar is lovely with nice choice of drinks. The building is old (beautiful staircase!) and rooms dated, but they are updating over time and the room was warm and spotlessly clean. With fresh cut flowers and nice towels. Don’t be put off by the 2 star status, please support smaller businesses and independents! Many thanks for looking after us and returning my glasses in the post! Maxine.

So very disappointed . Not only was it New Year's Day but my daughter was home from Australia for Christmas. The orders weren't correct , the whole meal was very substandard and cold . Beef was tough so was the pork . We should have mentioned this at the time but didn't want to put a downer on the day. Will not be booking again .

Visited this hotel as a gift for my boyfriend. We planned to visit High Force waterfall and then had a booking at the local Grassholme Observatory for some start gazing. I emailed ahead of arrival to request if we could park up earlier than check in which was no problem at all, just let reception know. We had lunch before setting out for our walk, our waitress Julie was great. Very accommodating and she arranged for a table for evening meal and requested alternative vegetarian meals which was no trouble for the kitchen and allowed us to pre order and have food ready at 6pm giving us plenty of time to digest before heading to the observatory. Nothing was too much for the team at high force hotel, staff were lovely and made our stay very pleasant. Breakfast was lovely too, lots of made to order choices and a continental buffet. Highly recommend a stay and eating here.
