The best restaurants serving British food in Neville's Cross County Durham North East

Best Greggs in Durham, really helpful and friendly staff, nothing is too much bother, shop is clean and tidy, and food is delish.

The quality, inventiveness and standard of food is fantastic, but for me, details like the temperature of the food or the seasoning/ flavouring is sometimes off. I visit on average 5 times a year. On some visits I come away thinking wow, on others it lacks in some areas. Experienced the Christmas menu recently which was lovely but it didnt blow me away like menus I've had here in the past. A slight annoyance is portion sizes are often inconsistent between diners, this time on at least 3 of the dishes. We all pay the same, make the portions identical please! Would like to return in the new year and support what is a great addition to the Durham food scene but I must agree with what's been said about the bins outside the entrance.

Poorly maintained and evidence of poor horticultural practices. Will not be returning

Went out for the lunch menu and it was the best meal we have had in Durham for a long time. Great service and price was sensible.

Well we have been here loads of times and has always been good. Went today Fri 29th March 2024, Ok it’s Good Friday but you would think they would be prepared. After a bit of a wait watching people get served that came in after us, a waitress came over and took our order but there was only small fish and no large, well call me a conspiracy theorist but the small fish was half a large fish so where were they getting the small fish from 🤔. It was plain to see that it was all to do with money as the small fish was £7 something and the large was £12 odd… so along came our meals and it was ridiculous a bit of fish 4” x 6” and about 15 chips if that. Well I’m sorry but we won’t be back ever for the sake of making an extra few quid you’ve lost two regulars… plus gave the girl a £5 tip before we got the food and she didn’t even say thanks! Shame on you

Great choice menu reasonable prices

First class beer . Good atmosphere

Booked due to proximity to station and the city so it is ideally located. Was left with the choice of a twin or family room. Only two of us so chose the twin. On arrival after a wait at the bar we paid for the room prior to seeing it and were then shown up a very steep and grubby staircase to the room by a charming young lady. We were only shown to the door and went in on our own. Spacious room with en-suite. Upon entering the en-suite we were immediately struck by the amount of black mould around the sealant of the shower, holes in the back panel of the shower and shower doors hanging off their runners making it impossible to close properly. We mentioned this when we went downstairs to the lovely staff but nothing was done. The rest of the room was tired and grubby, dust on high surfaces (the vent in the bathroom was thick with dust) flaking paint, a tv aerial sellotaped to the window the frame of which was filthy. The curtain was thick and of good quality but the pelmet was stained. The beds squeaked. At 0125 we were awakened by noise outside which died down after 0300 so we got some sleep. Due to having had sn enjoyable evening out in the city I was quite prepared for this review to be saved by breakfast. That did not happen. Breakfast was self service yoghurt, a few mini boxes of cereal and some sunblest bread in its’ polythene bag with which to make toast. No butter, some jams from cash and carry and an urn with which to make poverty grade tea or instant coffee. All this for £110.00. Having run a B&B we know what standards should be and this was immeasurably poor value. I suppose the proximity to everything sells it but all I can do is advise against being swayed by convenience, treat yourself to a clean room and a good nights sleep and book a Travel Lodge. It’s a great pity as the staff are nice, location is brilliant and it could be so good instead of so bad with just a little application of effort and reasonable standards. And some working power points in the room would be useful.

Place was bouncing and great atmosphere

Went for a drink with friends. Good atmosphere, good music.

Este lugar es terrible ahora, solía ser un bar de rock y vibra fresca, ahora lleno de personal grosero que te hace sentir inútil, la chica con el pelo teñido se sienta y habla ¡Sobre ti mientras te ríes con tus colegas, no tengas hielo en el bar! El bar lleno estaba vacío, literalmente muerto. Ella nos sirvió una ronda y luego procedió a decirnos que estábamos demasiado borrachos considerando que teníamos 1 bebida. No volveré a este pub, solía ser genial, pero ha bajado colina abajo junto a los sofás rojos de pvc hortera.

We went for an afternoon tea and a spa day at Raddison Blu Hotel, and as always, had been a great experience. They refurbished the restaurant, and it looks so great. The spa day was really nice, too. Shout out to the massage therapists Clare L and Janine, who were very good. Ladies, you made our day! Thank you!! ❤️

Fish and chips are always great but delivery is unreliable
