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.

Ate here whilst staying in Durham for the weekend. Really enjoyed the full tasting menu and allowed switching between vegetarian and main menu for Pescatarian diet. Good range of dishes and flavours. Service was excellent too. Would recommend.

Best in town sourdough and delicious gazpacho

It is not really that great. More batter than fish. Very crowed. A popular place, not really sure why…

Called in with friends for a quick hot drink on a wet afternoon. Lovely little cafe. Obviously popular with uni students so a little bit noisy.

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.

Been for bottomless brunch food fabulous as always however the attention to detail while eating and drinking from Jan, Marcia and all the staff was second to none I can highly recommend this bottomless brunch best in the North East Plus afternoon tea and cocktails I have experienced them all and keep coming back for more Keep up the good work love this place

Found this charming place last night and v glad we did! The venue is quirky and welcoming. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the food was excellent, with real attention to detail. Shame it's not open again tonight.

Barman charged my card twice for a £40 transaction. I got in touch a few days later and I was ignored.

We were recommended FWDC by a friend, so we decided to go check it out, for breakfast. We arrived early, in front of us, there were only 2 people in the queue. However and to my wifes annoyance we stood and then sat for 35 minutes before being allocated a table upstairs. He were taken to a small and quirky room upstairs where there were 3 empty tables. The staff overall were pleasant, though not very attentive. Simple coffee order, was incorrect when it arrived at the table and it was barely warm. The food order arrived approximately 50 minutes from arriving at the cafe. I had the 'House Fry' and despite being very cold and hungry it was very good. The ingredients tasted great, which certainly saved a further star rating. To sum up: Would I recommend - I refer to the above Was it value for money - Not really Would I return - No Instagram has a lot to answer for!

Great food and great service. Would highly recommend. Will definitely go back next time in Durham. Really enjoyed our visit.

Do not order the classic lemonade. It's a complete waste of money! £3.25 for cold water, ice and a couple of squirts of lemonade syrup! Stick with a can of Fanta!

Always a great experience at Baileys ! Great manager and staff !! My buddy and I went there for our birthdays 🎂 for a wonderful culinary experience, enjoyed the ambiance of a great dining experience and awesome service .
