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.

Ordered medium rare sirloin steak, recieved a well done steak and certainly wasn't a sirloin cut either, but rest of the food and service was totally fine, need to understand cuts and cooking times if you want do steaks properly.

We had lunch at the South Causey it was excellent . The young man who served us was very friendly ( unsure of his name but we were on table 41 at 12.15pm) we will definitely return 🥰

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.

The restaurant/ bar is located to the rear of the Beamish Hall Hotel it is very well appointed and the staff are friendly the drinks are on the expensive side and for us the menu hasn’t that much choice the food we got was nice (fish and chips) but wasn’t what we would normally of had but with a limited menu what can you do.

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

Good food good service and a nice relaxing atmosphere.
