Reviews in County Durham

Met up with family for lunch midweek. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The chicken with haggis was very tasty and the Yorkshire pudding pie with mash was excellent. We had a walk round the village and saw lots of interesting remains of Roman buildings. A local resident told us about the Roman forts and settlements in the area, an unexpected added bonus. We returned to the George for coffee and cheesecake (wonderful). Great day, great food. Will visit again.

Excellent food and drink, great service excellent value for money.

Lovely meal yet again can fault it or the staff will be back

Last night myself and my partner decided to have date night at the farmhouse, food and service was absolutely amazing. The downfall we experienced was a family out with 2 children allowing children to run along the seats and be extremely loud. The louder the children were the adults got louder. Everyone could hear the conversation between the adults and it’s just not what we wanted. We ate our meal and left the restaurant part and went round the other side to finish our drinks

Fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and great service. We only had one downside, that was portions too big but for some that is a plus .

Had a lovely night with friends. The food was very tasty. It was a Tuesday night so quite quiet but as there was a group of us it didn’t matter. The only downside was they switched the heating off so it was cold by the time we left

Lovely food and reasonably priced, the service was fantastic

Afternoon tea gorgeous and fresh Maybe scones could be warmed Butter too hard so cheese scone broke up Since the last time I visited the place has been renovated so looks fab Suprised the pool has gone and the steam room but enjoyed sauna plunge pool The wood gets wet and a lot of people skipped with the white slippers on Maybe another sofa in the wellness room Treatment was fab

Great service and great value. Thoroughly enjoyed food. Only issue is number of supplements on 3 course for £10 menu- just up the price to £15 and stop supplements. Still good value. Room very cold

Had the Happy Hour menu. Potato Skins nice. Garlic Mushrooms nice. Lasagne ok. Rump steak and chips disappointing. Steak small and only chips to accompany. The meal looked poor when served and I wouldn’t have it again for a £4 supplement.

We ordered chicken parmesan and the chicken is raw and uncooked. Very disappointed with the quality of the food.

Visited for lunch with my 4 friends from Croatia. Loved it, great pub lovely relaxed atmosphere, great food. My Mates a Brit and really misses proper English pubs and this ticked all the boxes. Thank

It’s always an absolute pleasure every time we come to hallgarth. An absolute gem of a place with great food.

Excellent Sunday carvery. We go every week without fail.

Lovely food and big portions. Loved the atmosphere and staff were very friendly

Service with a smile as always very busy so waited a little longer but the food is always excellent so didn’t mind. Always try to go at least once a week.

Had a lovely lunch, following treatments & spa. The lockers didn't accept coins in the changing rooms, so our belongings were left unlocked. Good value for money and friendly customer service. I didn't like the sauce with my meal. I said I would go without, but the staff offered and made an alternative. The lighting is a bit bright in the dining room and the decor could do with some refreshment.

Excellent meal and service. Food gorgeous and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be visiting again.
