Restaurants in Barnard Castle

Really lovely food, we stayed overnight for dinner bed and breakfast package. We had cheese soufflé starter and I had feather blade beef for main and my wife had stone bass. The service was great and the food was well presented. After having the starter and main course we couldn’t manage a dessert. I would highly recommend the restaurant. You can also choose from the pub menu too even though you are in the restaurant. So if soon the bar menu grabs your eye you can have that as well.

I was disappointed, I was with my two friends, we each had a voucher for an evening 3 hour spa, tapas board and glass of Prosecco, on arrival we were informed it’s not a tapas board anymore but either a sharing board or a grazing board, we were given the menu to pick either the veg or meat grazing board but when I asked what the sharing board had on it the staff member informed me she did not know and didn’t attempt to find out for us, at this point I did express my disappointment that it wasn’t the tapas board that I had booked and paid for but I was just told it was the grazing platter now. I do feel if you sold vouchers for tapas boards this should be honoured as it’s false advertisement. We did not receive a grazing board each like our vouchers stated but instead one between us, it had little on it, it consisted of bread, salami, Parma ham, terrine, olives and a chutney. The bread was also stale. There was also a drunk person in the bar who was quite rowdy so we moved tables, he later came to tell us he finished off the food on our board after we left. Overall I was disappointed as I have been before and had a much better experience.
