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

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

Cena temática tailandesa muy agradable. Comida sabrosa y servicio amable. Los entrantes tardaron un poco en salir, pero valió la pena esperar. Es bueno tener una opción de cerveza del 0 %.

Tuvimos nuestros pinchazos de COVID y gripe en la farmacia local y pensamos, necesitamos un desayuno. Subieron al Peral, pidieron dos grandes desayunos, vienen con una bebida, así que dos americanos. Esperó un poco y llegaron dos platos llenos. Dos huevos, dos erupciones, dos salchichas, dos pudines negros, dos hachís, judías, tomate y dos rebanadas de tostadas. ¡Muy feliz!

Fantastic place ausome staff i had a meal it was brilliant

Went on Friday took just under an hour for the food to arrive which I wouldn’t mind if it’s all fresh.When the food arrived both burgers were cold but didn’t want to wait any longer for a fresh one.The food was amazing and worth every penny.No staff came over to ask how the food is,asked if we wanted anymore drinks or bring the bill over.We ended up going upto the till to pay and noticed how much the staff were rushing round and I really felt sorry for them.I think the owners really need to consider getting more staff to keep up with the demand.It would have been a 5 star review but the service really let it down.

Increíble comida y servicio. Delicioso pan tostado, seguido de un delicioso pastel. Excelente servicio. No puedo fallar nada.

I visited last week. The shop had good reviews and was fairly close to where I was staying. I bought haddock and chips. The main problem was a soggy, greasy batter. This had soaked through to the meat of the fish so it no longer retained its beautiful whiteness. The chips were mostly small and hard. One of the worst fish suppers I've ever had. I'm from the North East of Scotland and am used to excellently cooked fish and chips.

Gran servicio me encanta la pequeña sensación hogareña de la zona de la cafetería los precios son muy razonables el menú es muy tradicional volveremos a visitar pronto gracias.

Over the years, the Copper Beech has always done the best Sunday Dinner. We came on mother's day, and we were so disappointed. I'm assuming it's got new management, the older lady was rude. The food was disappointing. There was no wet salad. Won't be coming back - next time Burtree or Baydale Beck

We phoned to see when they served food till on a Saturday...said 8.....we arrived about 7.15....3 adults and 1 child....ordered food and drinks at bar....about 10 mins later lady came and said due to u forseen circumstances could only serve burgers...which none of us wanted but as it was so late had to accept it! Sadly didn't enjoy my chicken burger at all! Very disappointed

I went for Christmas afternoon tea in The Orangery at almost £60pp with my parents for a bougie little treat before Christmas. The setting was beautiful, the staff were lovely and the drinks were delicious. But the food? Well...the sandwiches were nice and they were adjusted to cover allergies we have. The cakes were yummy but I've had crackerbread with more moisture than those scones. They were overmixed, stale and no amount of double cream (no clotted cream here I'm afraid) could fix that dryness. The booking cost extra due to the choir who was to be signing carols while we ate, but that lasted maybe 5 minutes and while they were good they certainly weren't worth the £8 up charge to hear. If you don't care about what you're eating and simply going because you want to go for Afternoon Tea in a 5 star establishment then this is perfect for you. But if you'd rather spend your hard earned money on something that doesn't taste like it's been sat for three days before being served then I'd avoid here and find an alternative. Very disappointed.
