The best restaurants serving British food in Chester-le-Street North and East County Durham North East

Neena's is a great local cafe. We stumbled on the place and we were delighted by our choice. Mustafa was so accommodating and no ask was too difficult. When visiting a town, finding an authentic place to eat that is a local haven is always a treat. Great food, multiple choices and good value. Thank you for welcoming us.

Fantastic 2 night stay, Simon, Vicky and the rest of the staff made you feel very welcome as soon as you met them, locals in the bar were like family. Lovely clean rooms, comfy beds, good price. Lovely home cooked food, massive portions! Proper traditional pub , full of character with open fires. Perfect location for Beamish museum & other attractions , will definitely be returning

Great quality food. Best I've had from them so far!

A bit quiet, but cricket was rained off, and I had time to kill

Walked in the bar and no staff around, Waited 5 minutes, went upstairs to look for someone to check if the place was open, made to feel like an inconvenience disturbing the staff talking. The girl who served us was pleasant enough, but who I assume was a manager was rude and obviously not giving correct training to staff. Card machine brought over to table before food arrived, we paid. After thinking it was more than expected we asked for the receipt, Charged for 2 meals when it should be 2-4-1, a mistake which was rectified when pointed out, then charged £14 for a drink we were told was £6. The whole place was completely empty, such a shame as it is a lovely place, could be a cosy pub lunch spot but the hospitality or lack of would stop us returning. Food was okay, but burgers served in a basket?! They are advertising so much on Facebook etc maybe should focus more of the customers who actually come in.

Me and my mum and my 3rd nana Dawn went here, we ordered our food and i got some Fanta orange to drink and then our food came. I had cod bites and mam and Dawn had chips with gravy, and we enjoyed it. Will be coming back.

Fish nice crispy and hot,peas not usual standard,batter ok,chips a disgrace,cold,little hard bits,not one good chip in packet went in bin,also stone cold,oh forgot chicken. It was ok
