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

Lovely cafe for coffee and cake

A great pub serving lovely sour dough pizzas and reasonably priced beer. We stayed the night in a lovely room which also provides 10% off food and drink. We stayed here for an O2 concert and I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Standard Costa. Good coffee, nice staff...

This is a hidden gem. Lovely old style pub, plenty of parking. We had our dog so it’s bar only, but has lounge too. Lovely staff, very attentive and informative. Good choice of beers, food and dog meals. Steak & ale pie was in own dish rammed with beef. Veg assortment and gravy came separate. Wife had mince and giant leek dumpling. Both loved the quality and quantity. Our dog Rosie had an amazing sized bowl of chicken pieces. We intended a pudding but we’re just too stuffed. Rosie had the dog ice cream and wolfed it down. All in all a great pub, dogs very welcome. Led to believe Sunday is very popular and they have just launched their Xmas menu.

Visited after 4 yrs today and was very impressed with the extended seating etc but there is no point in having numerous tables when there was obviously a shortage of staff. We waited 45 mins for our and beans. Others were returning to the till asking why they were waiting so long too. Perhaps hadcwe just had a scone and coffee it would have been lovely but waiting so long for hot food was very poor service Very disappointed overall.
