Reviews in Darlington

Poor service and terrible food. Too many screaming kids. Will definitely not be going back and would not recommend.

The Comet has been given a complete makeover and now looks amazing inside! The food and service are superb and all the main courses on the regular menu are under a tenner! With it's excellent location, overlooking the river, it's well worth a visit.

I had been told about the otter and fish by a friend ,i live in York but will travel for nice food . Well five of us wanted up and booked a room at the croft spa and dine up at the otter on the Friday night. All i can say about the meal is wonderful, from the great food till the nice waitress called charlotte. With a great chef and this wonderful waitress this place will go far. But there is one down side it is a bit far from York to eat a few time a week.... pity.. but i will be back.

Great restaurant! Been many there many times and had a great meal every time.

The best Chinese restaurant in Darlington. Highly recommended. Food is great, the staff are excellent.

Me and my wife had a meal at the Shapla recently, and where very impressed with the food and the warm and relaxed atmosphere, further enhanced with the charming service. We look forward to going again soon

It was my first time having Caribbean food, and i thought it was superb, some of the best food i have eaten for a while - and I love food! The restaurant was very empty (England were playing football), which meant the ambience wasn't as good as it probably would be full, but the food alone is worth a visit. Highly recommend this, and will be going back.

I had a lovely meal with my wife two weeks ago.i will be back for my birthday in july. well done the chef..

Superb atmosphere with food and service to match. What a transformation since the new owners have refurbished the whole business. They must have spent a fortune on the place, but very wisely. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch in a gorgeous village pub. We will definitely be returning!

We visited the bay horse after reading the review in lifestyle magazine. and as it said in the book everything was amazing the food was cooked to perfection very good wine list and pleasant staff all in all a very good experience.

The steaks are fantastic. Apparently lovingly matured by Chris Kattou personally (21 days matured). The fish is superb, they make their own tarter sauce( no bought pap). You have to try the Steak & Kidney Pie on a lunch time, It is out of this world. there are 6 of us who eat there regularly prior to a Mowden Park Rugby match. You have to do It.

We have eaten many times at the Fighting Cocks and have never been disappointed. The service is good with friendly staff and the quality of the food is fantastic. We would recommend booking a table as it can get very busy especially on a weekend.

I was very surprised at the Emerson Arms. I live near the area and never considered going in. I am glad I did. I enjoyed excellent food, brilliant atmosphere. A real community pub!! Price very acceptable for the area. The best bit is the beer garden situated right next to the River Tees, beautiful landscape. Very relaxing!

Clean and tidy. Not much atmosphere. Bit too pricey otherwise ok.

The main plaice is the best food business in town!

The food is home cooked, plentiful and tasty. The service is good and the staff are friendly. Very good for a cheap night out.

The restaurant is lovely and i will be back
