The best restaurants serving British food in County Durham North East

Stopped off for a bite & bought a piece of cheese & onion quiche & a couple of corned beef slices, the quiche just melted in my mouth, so tasty & moist & absolutely huge, as for the corned beef slice, it’s a meal in itself, delicious, prefer the non corner bits as too much pastry, as others have said, do but local, must better than anything you can get in the supermarkets!

Fabulous place..great food and coffee.

Lovely cafe for coffee and cake

We had afternoon tea on Saturday 10th May,it was delicious. Everything home made and beautifully presented also a lovely little shop selling home grown produce.

Enjoyed a family dinner, food was delicious and kiddies meal great value. Friendly atmosphere and the service was excellent too!

Amazing service by isla,jackie and Laura and Tia and a perfect roast dinner by Lewis and Gary

We enjoyed a great lunch here! Good food with wonderful service, thank you!

This is a relatively new restaurant offering what I would describe as modern British fine dining. There is a Sunday lunch menu, ten course tasting menu or four course menu. - See the website for menu details. The kitchen is open at the back of the restaurant so you can see the food being prepared. We chose th four course menu. The food was well presented and was prepared to a very high standard, as was the service. You can opt for different glasses of wine with each course on all of the menus, but there is also a wine list available. Highly recommend.

Beautiful jacket potatoes, lovely food

A really lovely little restaurant. Serves very nice home made food. Staff are fab and the food is so tasty. It's always busy and just such a lovely friendly traditional place. Mine and my best friends favourite spot for lunch

Beautiful would recommend this place we have been many times and always excellent food red hot and clean and tidy will be back mothers day for lunch with the family xx

We always visit this lovely friendly farm shop when staying in the area,great produce with a wide range,great parking too.looking forward to our next visit.

Beautiful decor, great choice of wines, wonderful service with sharing boards of food.

Good coffee, great choice of cakes and scones. Would highy recommend. Will definitely re-visit when next in Barnard Castle .

My wife and I visited the Hare and Hounds today after pre booking, which seems essential. We were not disappointed. It was the Best Sunday Roast we have had for years. Freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of beef lamb or pork very good portions of meat served to you then put your own veg and trimmings. All with the best gravy. Friendly staff and bee from onsite brewery. Strongly Recommend.
