Reviews in Darlington

Possible the best landlord I have ever encountered; charismatic, welcoming, charming and very good fun. After a great welcome we sat in the lounge where the charming atmosphere and friendly people and staff made is feel like village locals. The food is great, something a bit different than what you would expect from a small village pub. We thoroughly enjoyed, will definitely return and shall be shouting their praises to all of our friends.

My husband and I have eaten there quite a number of times and find that every thing about the place is very good and would recommend it to anyone that asked for a good eatin place

Phenomenal menu selection - set aside at least 10-15mins just to read it! The vegetarian selection is excellent, imaginative and very well prepared. Portions are enormous, and if you manage to squeeze in a dessert you'll find an extensive selection of those too, and they're all fabulous. Popular every day so book early. Very well priced - and their Sunday Carvery is brilliant too (although there's no booking so get there early!)

Good home cooked food and friendly service

As a group of 6 people who regularly eat hear, we can't fault it. It is a no nonsense, down to earth eating house with good food and great staff. I think this is a well kept secret. Don't expect frills and fancies. Chris (proprietor) does fantastic steaks. Matured and prepared to order. Ask for a kebab, you will be surprised (gastronomically)

Just left the bridge where i had a great evening! Great food, Great atmosphere and great value for money. it honestly feels as though as you are abroad with decor and the french host showing you to your table. well worth a visit.

My partner and I try and visit at least once a month you pay for what you get and I would recommend this pub its great the food staff and atmosphere

This pub has a very welcoming atmosphere. It is beautifully decorated and the food is of a high standard. The beer is excellent and there is always a varied choice of local ale

Never been to a restaurant with so much choice, and all fresh, took me 15mins just to read the menu. the atmosphere was great just wanted to stay there all night. imagine one restaurant where u can have a starter from India, a main course from china and a dessert from Italy all in one night.

From entering the restaurant u instantly feel as though you are abroad, with the Mediterranean decor. The palm trees are a nice touch aswell! "Food From Around the world" they quote, but i can honestly say its true! The food was excellent!

The menu for this place is like a bible! So much choice from Indian, Italian, Chinese, English, whatever you fancy they have it. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment as its very popular.

Nothing is a problem at this restaurant. Everything about it is first class.

After we heard the bay horse had been taken over we returned because we stopped going and was surprised what the new owners had achieved the food was beautiful and reasonably priced I recommend it highly

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm! loved it!

nice food,good price,friendly staff,i will go back.9/10.

9/10 ,an institution in darlington ,nice food and modest price.

Excellent venue with great food and spot on service. Although it's bit out of the way the venue and atmosphere made the drive worthwhile. I'd recommend it to anyone.

We have eaten here on two separate occasions, booking is definiately recommended as it is a very popular local venue. On both occasions the food was to a very high standard and we thorough enjoyed ourselves. Try the Lamb Henry it is superb.
