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

Ordered from the heritage cafe today Couldn’t decide what to have as there’s loads of delicious choices to be made Decided to order the chicken parmo with chips And two lots of quiche and chips And of course the sprinkle cake and custard Everything arrived piping hot and delicious Can’t wait to order again soon

Quick lunch, i had the Cornedbeef pie, Mrs had the Pork Chop. Great service, lovely meal, highly recommend. Clean, modern, friendly. Would have liked branded sauces, carpark can get really busy. Apart from those small details, it's a gem of a place, be back soon.

We celebrated new years eve at the red alligator which included 3 hours of live music, hot and cold buffet and fireworks. Buffet consisted of lasagne, mince and dumplings, chicken curry, peppered beef, hot beef and turkey in gravy, noodles, steak pie, potatoes, mini burgers then some cold items such as sausage rolls and sliced meats including gammon. There was also a dessert table which offered a wide range of cakes including cheesecake and chocolate cake as well as a range of cheeses and crackers. Buffet was absolutely delicious. The singer was Charlotte Foreman who performed for 3 hours taking us into the new year. Brilliant singer covering a range of artists and songs. The place was buzzing all night and everything was perfect from the company, to the staff, to the music. Well done Red Alligator!!

Christmas dinner was not worth the £180 we paid !! There was no Christmas atmosphere. The soup for starter was bland the main dinner was ok. We were asked if there was any else they could get us to which my husband asked for more veg as the portion in the serving bowl was not enough for 2 people. And we are still waiting for it to be delivered!! The desert Xmas pudding was a small portion in a large bowl. All in all I would not recommend paying that money for what you got we were in and out in 1hr15 mins. Will definitely not be going back there again
