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

Had amazing rump steak in this friendly pub. Great staff, excellent ale and brilliant value for money. Informed about allergies- ideally let them know in advance for specifics.

Typical chain pub, average food which was edible but nothing outstanding about it. Wasn't great but wasn't bad. Average priced drinks

We enjoyed our meal this evening however the staff did get part of one of our meals wrong. Also we felt like we were being watched to see when we had finished so they could take our plates away. We were also asked by 3 separate people if we wanted a dessert. We have visited many times before but tonight the service felt like it was lacking. The food we did have was delicious and we will return in the future.

Popped in with no booking for Sunday dinner. Service was great got seated fast and it was chilled and relaxed inside the building. Sunday dinner was ok, small portion of over cooked veg to share and had to ask for extra gravy. I got lamb which for the price I thought was bad as there was an only a few small slices. The dinner came within minutes of ordering so I’m guessing they have it all plated up ready. Wouldn’t rush back we I think for 2 dinners and 2 soft drinks at £51 there better around

Disappointed , at first we were seated by a lovley women who greeted us and offered us drinks and menu what was available. Shortly after we were seated we were told we weren't allowed to sit at another table because it was fully booked however the restaurant had no other people in. We ordered four Sunday dinners and a 8oz cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was a plain regular burger with no sauce on the burger only on the side or any taste for £18 was shocking . The Sunday dinners where do I start the waiters had come back and forth because they had got wrong meats and forgot to ask questions such as any sauces with the meats and any cheese on the burger this lead to wrong dinners including the likes of being served cold meat and cold mash this was highly disappointing. They apologised and took our dinners back to the kitchen and replaced the dinners with "hot fresh" dinners sadly when they came back to the table the meat was incorrect this caused nothing but stress and confusion on our table we came for a nice family easter dinner and was disappointed however Suzanne one of the manageress was very apologetic and very respectfully she apologised and offered us vouchers which I will take on board.

Food was OK , Lager was much dearer than what we usually pay for at our local .My friend was happy with her meal ,mine the chips were overcooked and just say warm but then the place itself was freezing ,a couple on the next table told us it's always like that ,after the meal we left as we couldn't stand the cold any longer

Absolutely stunning place. The food was just so delicious, the staff were brilliant and the surrounding views were incredible. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Black Horse. We used it as a stop over on our return from Scotland. Shame it’s not nearer us as I would go on a regular basis! Thanks to you all for hosting us and allowing us to park our Campervan overnight. Very much appreciated. 🙏🏻
