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

The food, staff and the whole place is absolutely wonderful. Gets very busy as it's popular. The only downfall is there is not enough parking and can be very tight.

Visited on a Friday evening and it was very busy with an entertainer singing later in the evening .The service was quite slow and we actually felt sorry for the young female who was serving as she was very friendly but obviously under severe pressure and trying her best on her own and at one point became overwhelmed. No obvious support from the owners was visible and it was quite upsetting to see her emotionall. The food was good and after our starter we had quite a wait for the main course which again was good .The place needs more staff on busy evenings .Not sure if we would return unless they sort out the staffing

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
