The best restaurants serving British food in West Auckland County Durham North East

Went for Sunday dinner was fairly busy v attentive staff dinner was nice desserts v good nice atmosphere and first visit good looks v popular plenty of choice M

A lovely place to stop for a light snack or tea and cake. Good value, charming staff and exceptionally clean. Plus some lovely characters for people watching 🙂.

After Park Run I always try & find somewhere to have breakfast & Broom Mill Farm did not disappoint. Although busy we didn’t have to wait long I had scrambled egg with 2 veggie sausages on lovely granary bread my Hubbie had a bacon & sausage bap washed down by decent coffees. We had a Quick Look at the Farm Shop that looked well stocked with meats, frozen ready to cook meals, cheeses & a few more interesting food stuffs. Whilst paying the bill we grabbed a cheese scone, a malteaser cookie slice & a Biscoff chunk for lunch later. Thoroughly recommend this little gem.

Had breakfast here. Was lovely. The black pudding was the best my husband has ever had! The veggie sausage was really nice. Coffee good and plenty of selection for the kids

Stayed at the Manor Hotel over the road for 1 night and decided to pop in here for a couple of drinks. Has the feel of a proper local pub but the regulars and bar staff (Kieran was a great laugh and very welcoming) were all friendly and chatting away with us. It was Karaoke night with everyone getting involved having a right laugh. If you're visiting the area give this place a visit - you'll enjoy yourself!

Amazing food and didnt have to wait long at all , friendly excellent staff . Would highly recommend going here for food and drinks

The hotel, rooms and spa are lovely - I often have people staying there who visit us but…….Three of us ( all locals, in our 60’s) have been going to the bar at The Manor House regularly for about 6 years for a monthly get together for wine / whisky and chat and spend well over £150 a session. However since some staff changes (staff leaving) the service and the attitude of some of the (largely untrained) staff has become very unwelcoming. There’s a definite atmosphere of ‘we don’t want locals’ which as we’re often the only ones there is quite surprising and disappointing given our custom over the years.
