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

This retro looking cafe is something else. Came across by chance and so glad we did. Only went in for a cuppa and a snack, but when we saw the menu wished we had had a meal. Clean, not expensive and friendly staff plus they are dog friendly too. As seen on the police Drama Vera. Well worth a visit.

Nice cosy place. Perfect for a pint or three, and a meal.

Spent Xmas day with my best mate at the white hills. Had salmon to start which was very tasty and the lamb was superb. It was a shame that I was not able to finish it but the staff were very polite and accommodating. Drinks were a decent price and I shall certainly visit again next time I am up

Disappointing. We’ve been here a few times. Always had good quality food at a reasonable price. This time there was a lunchtime special menu, 2 courses for £16.95. Starters were tasty and as we would expect. My friend’s main was avocado salad which was fresh, tasty and loads of it. My macaroni cheese was tiny. It was very tasty but only an inch of cheese pasta at the bottom of the dish. I asked the server if there had been a mistake and maybe I’d been given a side dish instead of a macaroni main but he confirmed it was a normal portion for lunchtime. I appreciate lunch portions can be smaller but my friend was still eating 10 minutes after I’d finished my pasta. One dish was very much smaller than the other. The manager reduced the bill because I wasn’t happy which was the right thing to do. All in all we were disappointed and what was supposed to be a happy and enjoyable meal was marred by skimpy portions.
