Love the Farmers arms - food, service from lovely staff and ambience second to none. Clearly lots of thought has gone into the menu's and there is an eye for detail throughout - not ostentatious but homely and fab quality Happy to travel there from Sunderland for a lovely time.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamHave been to the Farmers Arms twice in the past week. Three courses both times and I can honestly say the food is excellent and value for money. The staff are polite and greet you with a smile. A nice quiet country pub/restaurant, we worth a visit.

Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamLovely warm atmosphere. Great choice of food. Everything was delicious, couldn't fault anything. We'll be back soon
The Farmers Arms – DurhamWe booked a table to have Sunday lunch after visiting the market, and realised it could be busy. Table wasn't ready so we bought drinks in the bar and waited comfortably in the lounge area next to the restaurant. Didn't have long to wait before being shown to our table (by the window with great views!), provided with menus and our order was taken promptly. We did wait 40mins before the meal arrived but presumed it was because it was extra busy due to the market. The meal was worth waiting for!! Generous portions, huge Yorkshire pudding, and a wide variety of vegetables. Recommended.
Witton Castle Country Park – Bishop AucklandReally enjoyed our food ambit couple of points to note. We booked on line for 4pm - which was accepted on the website - but the restaurant actually closes at 4pm on Sundays! Luckily I rang and asked if we could go in early! The meat was overcooked. Fine for me but my OH wasn’t impressed. There were lots of veggies which I loved and it was piping hot. Very good! The waiting staff were excellent, friendly and polite. We would go again but would book an earlier time.

Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonAmazing food. Lovely atmosphere and great service
Gussto Tapas Bar – DurhamWe went for Sunday lunch and both had the duo of meats and a dessert each. The food arrived quickly and tasted lovely. The portions are a good size and the staff are pleasant. The lighting is very dark in there depending on where we have sat ( we’ve been a few times now). The only other thing I would complain at is the cost of the soft drinks. A blackcurrant cordial and water was over £2 which I thought was steep.
