The best restaurants serving British food in Darlington North East

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

Lovely family run business. Food was made on the premises and was great. The sausage rolls and cakes are amazing, we will definatly be going again. Friendly efficient staff and beautiful little tea room.

The premises is very clean rooms are comfortable very friendly rooms available for disabled near town

Our office ordered from Peartree Hill Cafe the other week, there was about 10 of us ordering food. I messaged the cafe on Facebook and they were very helpful, getting back to me the same day with pictures of the menu and relevant information. We preordered the day before via Facebook messenger and my colleague rang up to confirm they received it etc. Food was ready on collection time, very easy process and the food was amazing! All homemade meals, including the chips. Great quality and would 100% recommend!

The first bedroom when you go through the door is the best with some gorgeous artwork on the walls and some cool patterns on the back of the door. Always have a great time whenever I go and i always get served with such good quality fancy coffee. Nothing better.

Very friendly always asking us if we were alright and asking if we wanted anything would definitely go again

What a fabulous experience, we will definitely be back. The service and staff were all first class, and the food was amazing. We had the beef cheek which was so tender and tasty

From the heart this place offers excellent support for the over 50's in regards to the likes of help and support for benefits etc. However, the cafeteria is not good at all and the beverages are below average. Over priced and worse than school dinner meals.

Fantastic staff , beautiful food , very welcoming .

place was freezing on arrival at 12.30 on a sunday. staff were lovely but food really let the place down. had the pork expecting it to have been carved from a joint only to get 2 loins. friend had beef and asked for pink but got well done. Disappointing but have to say staff were great.

Sunday lunch today for two. Ive had several Sunday dinners in the last year including high end establishments, and can say the food here was superb, cooked to perfection, and sufficient for the biggest appetite. Staff attentive and quick, the food delivered to our table in record time, and value for money top marks.

Had a great stay in the premier inn, beefeater every morning and night for lunch, very friendly welcoming staff with great service, especially Lisa the manager going above and beyond everytime for our team, thank you so much.

It is always a treat to come to this pub where you will receive a warm welcome from Salvatore who is front of the house All the staff are very cherry and very helpful There is a lovely menu with specials every day The food is fantastic and there is an excellent selection of beers wines and spirits There is a dog friendly area and all dogs get a plate full of special treats The toilets are very clean and there is plenty of parking In the immediate facility, there are lots of walks and you can run around the ruins of a Roman fort.

Afternoon Tea- Food beautiful but team keen to clear away plates before we had finished. Do had no jam or butter for scone. No offer of 2nd drink. A hot day and really unpleasant odour from staff member. Disappointed as previous visit staff very attentive. Today felt as though staff couldn’t be bothered.

Absolutely dreadful meal Went for a birthday meal with my family Basic menu, waited 45 minutes for our meal and only one girl on the bar and serving I ordered lasagne that was burnt and dried out and the pasta was like mashed potato, the garlic bread was also burnt and the salad was swimming in dressing My husband ordered steak pie that was full of salt and the vegetables were hard My son and daughter in law ordered the burger which was a cheap tasting burger with cheese and loads of garlic they ended up leaving it The food was served by an harassed kitchen staff and when we looked in the kitchen it looked unclean and chaotic
