The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Gilesgate County Durham North East

Lovely candlelit afternoon tea on a very cold snowy Sunday. Homemade cakes, sandwiches, scones & trifle and a warm welcome by the lady running the tearoom. A bit of a walk from the centre of Durham in the snow for two visiting ladies, but worth the trek. You do need to pre-book.

Absolutely fabulous food Clean and healthy grub Great atmosphere to eat in Staff were very friendly and very reasonably priced Definitely worth a visit

Upon the wall are the words: Be real. Be unique. Be honest. Be happy. They sum up this lovely independent coffee shop. Good food, well priced, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The soup and cold sandwich special is superb value, and always delicious. Only one thing lets the place down, and it can be easily rectified. The loo is in need of brightening up, and a little TLC. The toilet didn't flush for myself or the previous visitor, and the tap is coming away from the wash basin. A coat of light-coloured paint, a couple of large, light-bouncing mirrors and some basic maintenance would make this small but important space fit for an otherwise great cafe.

Me and my family came in today for a bit of food and drink, it all seemed fine at first until we sat with our food and noticed the stuffing was missing on our plates. Suffering from anxiety I had to pump myself up to go and ask about it. I was spoken too quite rudely (also shouting over the coffee machine which was very uncomfortable) because we apparently "had to ask" for the stuffing.. even though on the menu it said "& stuffing" which makes me believe it is automatically included in the meal. They said they'd bring it over but we never recieved it. The panini was also small and dry and we all had dodgy stomachs afterwards. If you have to ask for an item to be included on your meal, it should be written clearly on the board. Will not be returning.
