The best restaurants serving British food in County Durham North East

One of the better spoons. And as such, can be busy.

I have been a regular visitor here for a number of years, staying at the Premier Inn next door. Service has never been good in the evening but it was dreadful on my recent visit. I just wanted a drink to start and had to wait what seemed like forever in a long queue of people ordering complex meals. Surely they should have someone serving just drinks. Then I had to repeat the queue process to order a meal. I spent more time standing there than sitting enjoying things. My table was covered with dirty glasses and cutlery from whoever had been there before and when my meal was delivered to me the waitress just left it there!!

Lovely wetherspoons pub situated in Crook often pop in for something to eat with a drink food is not high end, put the food what is served to us always very nice and presented well.

Stopped off for a drink after our walk along the river Greta. Little busy due to Easter but got served quickly and sat in the sunshine

Cake was expensive but the rest of the order was good.

The staff were super lovely and the food came quickly, but the only vegan breakfast was beans on toast without butter, which we paid £6 for.

Gran lugar para un buen almuerzo sabroso. Un montón de opciones y se podía ver exactamente lo que estaba pidiendo. Disfrutamos de la quiche, chaqueta, ensalada y bollo!

Booked a table for my wife and I to have a child free meal, food was beautiful good size portions and really flavoursome, we had a few drinks afterwards in the bar and was made to feel really welcome, will definitely be back and I suppose we'll have to fetch the kids 😏,thanks for a lovely evening see you soon.

Only called to hotel for food and found a good offer of two meals for £20 and very helpful and friendly bar staff. Steak and Ale pie best tasted for a long time.

Lovely food. Then a couple of hours playing bingo...

Meat very chewy couldn't cut Everything was piled up could have been presented better Crumble was hard custard was thin no taste No itemized bill Very expensive

Great pub always busy as a weatherspoons always is and there is a lot of students that come here. But still a good pub for all.

Very disappointing food cold and lack of vegetables for the size of our table. Beef a little undercooked and quite expensive. Would not return

Cheap and cheerful, sometimes the portions can be very small but overall a pleasant experience

Always enjoyed our meals there when visiting with In-laws. First time I tasted Beyond Meat burgers, which I was amazed by. Sadly on my most recent visit, they are no longer on the menu. There is now a presumably cheaper and far inferior veggie burger. While I appreciate costs are increasing and prices need to be kept down, I would like to recommend that Beyond Meat burgers still be offered, even if at a premium, as an alternative to the cheaper veggie burger.
