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

Dinner was atrocious. So called vegan /vegetarian curry was basically a tin of tomato soup with some veggies thrown in and a a sprinkling of curry powder with easy cook rice. (And don’t try and tell me otherwise). They have the audacity to say they have restaurant. Never again!!! The room was a shambling mess. They probably call it eclectic. But, mildew and stains in the bathroom is not eclectic in my book. The one saving grace was the lady at breakfast was wonderful, attentive and very welcoming. She needs to move to a proper hotel. This is not a first time opinion. We did stay there before and did not like it. Not sure why we went back but, needs must.

I would highly recommend this pub if you are visiting Barnard Castle. It has real character! The staff were really friendly and unpretentious. The food was excellent pub grub - home-made steak and ale pie was amazing!

Tea was Luke warm Don’t have any sachets of salt so egg sandwich was very bland Hubby had a latte which was ok Need to bring bk salt

Warm welcome and lovely food. My wife loved the naanza and my curry was spiced perfectly to my request. Would love to visit again but it's our last day in the area.
