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

The food was very nice with nice sized portions and appropriate pricing, however a pot of tea is £3.50 per person. When I asked for extra water, i was told a pot of extra water would be charged at an extra £1 which I felt was unreasonable given the very high cost of tea. I go to alot of cafe's and have never been charged for extra water.

I've been here before in the afternoon and had a great scone and coffee. This morning however my scone must have been yesterday's and straight from the fridge as it was so cold , hard and dry, I didn't want to make a fuss because of the Elderly lady I was with. Throw yesterday's scones in the bin please.

Food was good but cutlery was filthy and the tables were disgusting. The first knife I picked up still had food on it. Hard to find clean ones.

Went in for a sandwich and hot drink at lunchtime. The drinks were OK as was my wife's baguette. My baguette, though, was as tough as old boots. Even though I ended up leaving half of it I still had indigestion. Won't be back I'm afraid.

We’ve been here a few times because the opening hours are handy. Inside, the tables are often uncleared and dirty. They regularly get food and coffee orders wrong. They list items they don’t sell (would it kill them to cover it over or put up a sign?!) Staff stand around chatting or checking their phones and treat customers like an inconvenience. Go to Chesneys, Dragonville instead. It’s further away but a clean, friendly, family run business. It’s not even cheap! Avoid.

Cannot fault them fish and chips are fab fish skin removed been few times now personally best in the town

I go to taste of home alot for breakfast or lunch the food is always brilliant prices are fantastic staff are absolutely amazing i would recommend taste of home to everyone

Food was great, so was the service !

Three of us called in for a coffee, 20mins after placing our order went to the counter to see if there was a problem to be told rather abruptly that our order hadn't been started because we were supposed to let them know we were ready for it...strange, never had this issue before. After 5 mins or so we were called up to collect our order but only one coffee was ready, minutes later we were called again for the second coffee, then called back again for the third coffee and one prepacked sandwich, then after another few minutes called back up for the fourth time to get the toastie. This seemed to be the case with everyone having their names bellowed across the floor for each item of their order. A little bizarre, surely easier to put everything together for one collection??? For some reason, our coffees came in paper cups instead of mugs even though we were sitting in, and the toastie came on a plate. Unfortunately, grandma had a mishap with the paper cup and the tall coffee spilt all over her and the floor, which would never have happened if she'd had the proper cup in the first place. Anyway, we ran up and asked for a cloth or blue roll, etc, so we could clean up to be told we should just use the napkin dispenser. Almost 20 napkins later there's still coffee everywhere and now a soggy pile of napkins on the table too, the place wasn't busy but no help offered whatsoever, even had to go and get a wet floor sign ourselves. None of the tables weren't being cleared or cleaned we also had to do that too when we arrived. Sandwich and toastie were not nice at all. Both had a very strange taste and were left. The surviving coffees were fine, but this was our second time to this site and both visits were terrible with zero customer service. we won't make the mistake a third time.

Didn't taste nice, chips seemed like they had been on the side and just warmed up, didn't taste fresh, fish was bland. part of my order was missed off and although they delivered it to me it didn't make it up for the food quality and it was too expensive for what I ordered.

5 item breakfast. If you are going to compete with the other cafes in Chester-le-Street you have to been good. There are a number to chose from and ones that have been established for decades. Cafe 91 has been going for a few years and I have visited about 2-3 times. I ordered a 5 item breakfast for £4.75 (which includes tea or coffee) When they say 5 item breakfast they literally mean that. One rasher of bacon and one small chipolata sausage. One slice of toast. There is an option for a bigger breakfast I would have chosen had I known. The coffee was a filter coffee although it wasn't made via a filter machine. So overall the food wasn't good and service decidedly average.
