Witton Castle Country Park – Bishop AucklandHad a late seating at hall garth hall for Sunday lunch. The food was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Plenty of good quality meat
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonLovely food, service & atmosphere.
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe went there the other day. The food was lovely although the chips were not great. No drinks list was given and the waitress didn't know what drinks or wine they had which was very frustrating as this is the second time this has happened. But apart from that we had a lovely time
The Farmers Arms – DurhamHad a first class Sunday lunch today. So tasty, there were three of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Witton Castle Country Park – Bishop AucklandThe first time at The Farmers. Sunday Lunch was very good. Just one thing. I think they should reduce the number of different vegetables on the plate. It seemed a bit of overkill. Will be back. No hesitation.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamCame for steak night and again the farmers never disappoints. Beautiful steak perfectly cooked, tasty chips and the best value around. You have to try it
The Farmers Arms – DurhamFood gorgeous as always, staff always so lovely and friendly
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamReally enjoyed our lunch with friends. Service excellent as usual from Cat and the team. I still think owners could be offered a discount.
Witton Castle Country Park – Bishop AucklandBooked a table, turned up, no table booked. Offered a table in the bar which was unsuitable so left
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWonderful meal at Farmers Arms. All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. The katsu curry is gorgeous and those who ordered the roast dinner loved the gammon and vegetables and said there was huge portion of food. Wonderful meal for the price paid and quality. The crumble is lovely and good choice of drinks at the bar. Staff are so lovely and friendly. Compliments to the chef.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamWe enjoyed meals on each of the three nights during our recent stay. Whilst at first we thought the menu was rather limited, everything we ordered we enjoyed, and everything was cooked and served to perfection. All of the serving staff (table and bar staff) were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. We particularly enjoyed meals from the Indian menu when available on two of the nights, very tasty and not overpriced.
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonLovely last minute dinner! Really good food, great service, good value for money. Would definitely recommend
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe always come here as we enjoy the food so much. However I order the prawn spagetti and asked wat the sauce was and was told either tomato or creamy sauce. I chose creamy. It was soooo spicy I couldn't eat it and had to swap meals with my hubby. I dont like spice at all. My hubby does and he said it had a real strong chilli kick so he enjoyed it. I was disappointed though as I didn't really want a what he had. so, we both didn't really end up having what we fancied.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamExcellent food, friendly service, we will return!
The Farmers Arms – DurhamThoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed evening meals and a lovely lunch . Would recommend a stay at the George and hope to return.
The George of Piercebridge – DarlingtonWe recently booked the restaurant out for a Birthday party for 30 people, the staff were fantastic and very accommodating, Food quality was great with only one meal having an issue that was quickly resolved. Would definitely recommend
Witton Castle Country Park – Bishop AucklandFrom the moment I walked in to the minute I left the service and atmosphere were terrible. We opted for the steak night special as this seemed good value for money. It was not busy with only a few customers but the lady behind the bar was stressed and on her own. The food took 35 minutes for 2 rare steaks and 1 medium, we ordered 2 side orders of onion rings and a fried egg. The onion rings were almost inedible they had not been in the fryer long enough with the batter uncooked and stodgy. We had to ask for the fried egg which came when my daughter was half way through her food. The rare steaks were not cooked properly and were verging on well done. At no point were we asked if everything was alright with the food. The reason I didn't complain was because we were so hungry and the food took ages to come that we just had to eat what we had I really a terrible experience and a complete waste of money. Will never return
