The best restaurants serving British food in County Durham North East

I've been twice now for a large breakfast, and coffees refillable only cost just over £7. Definitely going back.

Very friendly pub with a great atmosphere

I always enjoy this coffee shop with family or friends & also like to sit outside when the weather is good, but I have a little dog & it would be great if you had a section for us animal lovers to enjoy our beverages & treats indoors in colder climates.

Been here a couple times for cocktails, brilliant price. 2 for 1 and can even go back and get your second cocktail after the first so it doesn't go warm. Very helpful, definitely need to try the food also

Really warm welcome. Girls were fab. One stood out bobbed hair blonde, very bubbly.. very good choice of food. Son had a burger, we had the 2 for £12.49 brilliant value for money! The food came out hot too! Didn’t have to wait to long. Will return. Thanks again!

Sunday lunch ok £15 expensive,there was one carrot on our plate we asked for a few more they gave us 3 and charged us £3 50 how mean maybe it was to pay for there plastic flower deco hanging from ceiling, lunch at valentinos seaham is better value £10 50 and more enjoyable.we will be going to valentinos from now on.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The food arrived quickly and was fresh and tasty. The staff member also took the time to explain the lunch deal to my mum. Hearty soup with a roll and hot drink for £1 😀

A huge thanks to Trisha and the team for providing me and my family with such a lovely Sunday lunch last week! I contacted Trisha a few days ahead about a vegan option and she pulled out all the stops and made me a vegan apricot nut roast with a tomato coulis and load of veg, which was DIVINE! My family (all meat-eaters) said it was the best Sunday lunch they had had in ages! And the service was warm and friendly too! Really looking forward to sampling your food again! <3 <3

Sat in the conservatory as we have our dog. Waiting for the football but the TV is not tuned in and there is no volume. Asked three times to turn it on. It’s freezing cold and a tip. Needs decorating and the service was very slow as the people in the main bar were prioritised. Paid the same money so we should be treated equally. Saying that the food was amazing. We had roast beef Sunday roast.

The food arrived fairly quickly, but it could have done with at least another minute in the microwave. It was cold and disgusting, leaving both of us feeling a little nauseous. Neither of us was able to finish our meal, but our dog had a feast though

tried their new parmo range bought 2 cajun chicken ones ,very nice but not a parmo,no bechelm sauce and chicken not breadcrumbed

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!

We recently visited this restaurant that we had previously enjoyed for its great food and service. Unfortunately, our most recent experience fell short of expectations in several ways. Upon ordering drinks, we had to wait 20 minutes for the first round to arrive- it was two cocktails but this is an awful long time bearing in mind our table was booked for 8:00pm so quite late really On to the starters, compared to previous visits, a bread bun was served with hummus instead of the usual flatbread or breadsticks, which was a bit unusual. My husband enjoyed his meatball starter. The service further lagged as we waited over 15 minutes for our empty starter plates and drinks to be cleared. The next round of drinks took as long as the first. On to the main course, despite the understanding that meat needs to rest, the steaks we ordered arrived cold. The waiter took them back and returned them warmed, but all of the accompaniments were cold as a result. Additionally, the chips were disappointingly rock solid, and there was a lack of butter on the dry steaks and the promised greenery was missing from the plate, both stated on the menu. It was evident that the restaurant was understaffed, as indicated by the delays in service for both drinks and meals. Even when we expressed our concerns to the waiter, the manager, in the background, did not make an appearance or address our dissatisfaction. It’s really disappointing that our recent dining experience here was marred by slow service (not the wonderful waiters fault who was running around), cold food, and a lack of attention to detail. I hope that they can address these issues- really unexpected from The Apartment Group. We’ve eaten in many of their venues and this visit was by far the worst.

Beautiful little pub with some amazing food and good selection too. Comes with a lovely view and outdoor seating if preferred. Great if the weather is nice enough, as you can enjoy your food/drink with a view.

I have same issue I have sent my application special delivery guaranteed and it says delivered and signed but when I keep calling them they say nothing on the system. We want answers because we have paid for the service what’s wrong with you people. Is there any management or they not bothered to sort people applications
