Not busy so no atmosphere. The service was OK but I had fish and chips which should be re-named fish finger and chips since it was a single fillet cut in half lengthways! Only an inch wide and when I pointed this out the person serving agreed that it was small but nothing else happened. The other meals in the party were fine so please stop skimping on the fish fillet.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleCame here with daughter for spa afternoon. Spa lovely and staff very helpful. We had lunch before .food ok pudding disappointing . Burnt in The middle from microwave. this was mentioned to staff. Food took a while to come between courses. Will visit spa again.

The Farmers Arms – DurhamPerfect as always! Delicious food, great value for money, lovely atmosphere and friendly service!
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleWe had a meal in conjunction with a spa day. No one at reception to tell us where to go when we arrived...we were a little earlier than our reservation time. Food order not correct. Service not extremely seamless. Food ok bit nothing special. Atmosphere non existent. Not really a comfortable inviting space. A little dissapointed to be honest.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleStaff very friendly, food and service 10/10 amazing. Not badly priced either
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWonderful meal, staff very attentive, couldn't fault it. Staff team worked seamlessly, very impressed.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamAlways amazing food, service and atmosphere here, its my son's favourite place to go for a meal out treat. Usually go for pasta but had a succulent steak this week, cooked to perfection! The chocolate fudge cake is too nice but it would be rude not to
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – Durhamwe went there on steak night and the fillet was one of the best I've ever had perfectly cooked medium, with gorgeous chips and onion rings and flat mushroom. My partner had the haddock which was white, moist with a gorgeous batter and perfect chips with tartare sauce and mushy peas. We will definitely be returning and the staff are a joy to be served by.
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamAlways fab food and great quick service. Cant grumble at adding £2 on for a portion of massive cut chips… most sides in other restaurants are £4 plus.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamGreat food (caters to picky eaters in my family), service always fantastic, price always good, clean and easy parking
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamMeal for 8 people midweek special offer. Everyone enjoyed every course, the food was delicious and good value 3 courses for £10 some choices limited ie prawns for a starter they charge extra! Did think serving crumble and brownies on their own and charging extra for custard/ ice cream/ cream was a bit mean! Service was quick, also drinks, staff were friendly and accommodating. Just a personal note found the restaurant very dark, felt lighting could have been better / brighter!
The Farmers Arms – DurhamOur favourite restaurant, friendly staff, lovely food and great atmosphere. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there on Friday with the kids and had a great time, lovely Parmo, steak and kids pizzas. They are super family friendly with a lovely outdoor area! Thank you
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamHad an amazing meal at The Red Alligator on Friday not your normal pub food but something different. Surf and turf seared beef and crushed crab cooked perfectly by the chef and tasted unbelievable. Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone as it's thinking outside the box re the menu and is excellent value for money
Red Alligator – Bishop AucklandThe food exceeded expectations. I had the trio of pork which was cooked perfectly, my only criticism would be the vegetables were a little cold. I think the place needs some soft furnishings (curtains) to give it a more welcoming feel. The service was very good and people should give the place a try, it's a shame it should be much busier.
Red Alligator – Bishop Auckland10/10. Always lovely food, service and atmosphere. And fantastic value for money.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamWe had a lovely spa day with afternoon tea, it was absolutely gorgeous, just enough for two, after treatments and spa, staff so attentive. Will definitely be back again. Thank you.
