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.
Blue Lagoon – DarlingtonWe 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.
Fighting Cocks The – DarlingtonI 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!

Highland Laddie – DarlingtonThe ambience of this new pub is lovely and with all the different side rooms it gives a cozy feel. The food was fresh paninis which were really good for a light bite. This is definitely a great friendly town centre pub and nothing like the other town centre pubs.

The beers good as well. p.s try the ribs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mint. But book early as they fill up quick. Full for Xmas in August!

The Chequers Inn – DarlingtonHave just returned from our first evening visit to The Chequers Inn. And what a night! The place was packed, with that thriving, jostling atmosphere that I thought had gone from village pubs for good. How pleasant to join the merry throng at the bar, to chat to the jolly locals and find staff that are enjoying themselves rushing about, whilst still finding time to talk. In particular we all enjoyed seeing the landlord at the helm, obviously a master at work. How rare it is now to find a good old fashioned landlord who wants to talk to you, is charming and enjoys a laugh (a smile is getting rare nowadays in many establishments!) whilst keeping the busy pub running. We found all of the staff faultless, from the friendly bar staff to the lovely young waitresses. The food was good homecooked fare, which despite the packed restaurant we did not wait for. We have enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant evening. The atmosphere of a location really does change the whole night, creating (as we have found tonight) groups from which the laughter rings out, and everyone exchanges smiles and witticisms as they pass. Well worth recommending.
