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

We’re not vegans, merely vegetarians! However it was a lovely surprise to stumble across this stall whilst on a walk around Durham. Whilst not hungry at the time, we bought some pastries and a scotch egg for later, purely because it was nice to see a trader specialising in meat free (or in this case vegan) products and not someone making a token effort. All of of our food tasted awesome and we’ll definitely make a point of visiting here to try something else the next time we are in Durham.

Visited Faru for the second time last weekend and it was simply delicious! Laura and the front of house team are always so warm and welcoming, the food is creative, well thought through and made with care by Jake and his team, delivering incredible flavours and a truly unique dining experience. Faru is a special place, it's a winner for me!

A real gem of a place. It’s cosy and laid back feel is great but the food and coffee is outstanding! We will be regulars here each time we visit Durham.

The family Fisk supper on Friday night was incredible! Proper tasty and generous portion. This take out was enjoyed by all! Ding Dong 5 star!

I was searching for lunch in Durham and Vennel's was recommended. Lovely quaint spot with a lot of character. I had a good toasted sandwich and a cold drink. Also dog friendly.

My wife and I visited the Hare and Hounds today after pre booking, which seems essential. We were not disappointed. It was the Best Sunday Roast we have had for years. Freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of beef lamb or pork very good portions of meat served to you then put your own veg and trimmings. All with the best gravy. Friendly staff and bee from onsite brewery. Strongly Recommend.

Lovely food, comfy chairs, big portions and decent prices at £24 for a very filling lunch for two. Would like to come back and try more from the menu. Only criticism so far is lack of proper baby changing facilities. I know space is an issue but all there is is a small, hard tiled counter.

Fabulous little cafe based at the mining museum. A small but prefect menu with very reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Had a fab afternoon after booking the conservatory for a 60th birthday bash for partner . Really helpful and accommodating management and staff made it a lovely afternoon celebration. Great service , highly recommended Thanks to all

Reservamos aquí para cenar el sábado por la noche. Estábamos deseando verlo, dadas las críticas pasadas y las fotos de la comida se ven increíbles! No estoy seguro de lo que ha pasado aquí, pero me sentí como si hubiéramos entrado en un restaurante completamente diferente! Habíamos reservado para 7. 30 pm, y a pesar de que todo Durham estaba absolutamente embestido con estudiantes, familias que visitaban y grupos que salían a tomar bebidas antes de Navidad, el lugar estaba vacío. Éramos los únicos clientes. Aparentemente habían tenido gente antes y les pregunté si estaban esperando más tarde, y parecía que sería solo otra mesa que se reservó más tarde en la noche. La camarera joven era muy agradable y el hombre, que puede haber sido el propietario (? ) era amable y acogedor. Pedimos bebidas y entrantes. Tenía langostinos que estaban bien, había solo 4 de ellos, pero eran lo suficientemente sabrosos. Servido en crostini, pero solo trozos de pan frito en realidad. Tenía una ensalada triste de un poco de lechuga gema y un par de tomates cherry salpicados. Mi marido pidió la panza de cerdo. Vino con una ensalada similar de aspecto triste. Lamentablemente no pudo comer el cerdo ya que estaba frío, con puntos de calor (preocupante - dado que es cerdo) ! Obviamente, la grasa de la panza de cerdo es un poco sombría para ser comido frío, por lo que lo puso enseguida. Debido a esto y a la falta de cualquier ambiente (teníamos una vela en nuestra mesa que se dejó sin encender, los adornos de Navidad en la escalera no se habían encendido, y teníamos un zumbido muy fuerte como interruptor en la pared cerca de nosotros) o ambiente decidimos irnos y probar suerte en otro lugar. Tenemos 4 niños en casa, así que llévate la tarde tan rara vez, y estábamos tan emocionados de tener una buena noche y una buena comida, que realmente sentimos que no íbamos a llegar aquí. Dejamos £ 20 que siento que fue generoso para cubrir mi entrante y medio bebimos copa de vino. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir una mesa en la puerta de la bodega, a solo una calle de distancia y tuvimos una comida absolutamente fantástica en un animado restaurante.

Had our work Christmas meal. Service was great, very helpful. The food was served promptly. Lovely atmosphere. We were upstairs. Lovely view of the river. Definitely would go again and recommend to others.

Este NO es un café blanco plano que está en Elvet Bridge. Es cocina blanca plana. Muy decepcionado. Arréglalo tripadvisor/propietarios.

Booking was easy, staff so helpful. Although the restaurant takes dogs, today we left ours home We all opted for Sunday lunch and it was amazing! Biggest Yorkshire puddings I've ever seen. Staff so kind, food quality superb! Lovely views over the river, only complaint tad cold, yet weather is snow right now, so hard to keep warm! We have already booked to return, thank you ♡

Indoor market..this is located upstairs..so you have a view!

Really nice interior, atmosphere was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful
