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

Very disappointing at this cafe took ages for someone to come to counter so my wife could order my full English breakfast took ages. It finally came out was stone cold The staff where miserable and the booth we were in there was cake all over the floor If I could score less I most certainly would.

The most disgusting breakfast, the poached eggs were stone cold, the mushroom not sure how it was cooked but it was horrible, heavily smoked streaky bacon, awful sausage, beans ok. It's not cheap either. Definitely won't be back.

My friends and I booked fir bottomless brunch at Bar 31 and having never been before we were not sure what to expect. On arrival the Bar looked lovely very clean and modern, with a constant flow of customers. We were greeted by the lovely Julie who showed us to our table, and as we had already been sent the menu we booked our first drink 🍸. There were plenty of choices of drinks to cover all tastes. We were asked to let the staff know whether we were ready to order our food and as we had already preorderd our food we didn't have to wait long. There is plenty of choice for all tastes and dietary requirements taken in to consideration. Matty and Eve were our servers and constantly checked if we needed more drinks. The food was beautiful and very generous portions. For all the bar was busy we never had to wait for drinks and the staff went out if there way to make us all feel welcome nothing was to much trouble. 10 minutes before our time was up we were topped up again with our drinks, we enjoyed it so much that we stayed in the bar for the rest of the night. Overall a great bottomless brunch and I would highly recommend. All the staff were happy and chatty and made you feel like part of the family.

having a drink in the bar...landlord very rude not a nice couple at all... Will not be setting foot in there again.

Coffee not nice and so expensive it's unbelievable . Very cold and won't be returning. Cakes also very dry and all staff seem to be bored and miserable

We ordered a coffee on arrival and only one person on the til so served everyone waiting to order! 30 minutes later the coffee was served. After visiting the Faith Museum the slow service didn’t stop there - the Waldorf sandwich filling was off so ordered Salmon and prawn in brown eventually slowly came in white, but on inspection of the replacements the filling was scant and the bottom crumbs of the crisp packet and 2 leaves of salad and a slice of tomato and cucumber. At £8.50 for a sandwich my expectations were more than what was given. I returned to the counter to request more filling but chef scraped the remaining filling from a box. It turned out to be mostly mayonnaise which was ridiculous.

What an absolute fabulous team we are so thankful for there help and care.we were stranded at the services following an engine fire to our car 25/3 on a trip up to Northumberland.We had been left at the services with the contents of our fully loaded car including our family pet Hugo a GSP. We had previously enquired if we could leave our luggage etc at the hotel on-site who had to decline in a friendly manner.We were in the entrance with our luggage when a member of the Costa team came to our rescue and brought us inside to a section that they had cornered off and even gave Hugo a treat after helping us in with the contents of our car.Big shout out to you all at Costa Durham services. We were then rescued by family and was able to have a fabulous holiday in Northumberland after such a stressful time.THANKYOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍

Not surprised to hear this place didn't make it to 2022! Staff were lucky if they got paid on time, and not open when you would expect it to be. R. I. P TO THE STAFF great bunch wish you all the best and better employers in 2022. Xx

What a great friendly and accommodating village pub,Georgina is friendly and welcoming,as are all her staff. The christening was a great success and everyone that came said they had really good time. I feel this village pub is going to go from strength to strength,with the upcoming plans.

Esta unidad está vacía y pasteles de Paula ya no son Trading. Sin embargo, hay una tienda nueva de tarta unas puertas, no hemos probado, pero los pasteles son preciosas y se venden por porción.

always forget half of meal deal things

Both had the beef Sunday lunch & it was delicious!! Well worth the money. Also had banoffee cheesecake which was also lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel for food

Great coffee shop, nice coffee and very friendly and helpful staff

I was sent a gift voucher for afternoon tea for Christmas only to find that all Patisserie Valerie stores closed on 04/01/24 so have never been able to visit , did see what looked like a building site . Cant believe they still issued vouchers knowing they were closing every single store , Dreadful state of affairs

After having been closed for a couple of years the pub is now due to re-open on the 31st October 2024. Greene King are saying that the re-opened pub will revert to it's former name of 'The Sportsman's Arms' (in recent years it had been named 'The Belmont'). I've given a three star (average) review as I haven't a clue yet what the pub will be like - I just thought it might be useful to post that it is re-opening soon but I can't work out how to post without giving a rating. I'm hoping to return with a five-star review soon!!
