Reviews in County Durham

One of the nicest afternoon teas that I have had. The staff were very attentive and friendly. A nice comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely go back again.

We had an evening meal booked in Gilroys restaurant and had a lovely time. The restaurant itself is relaxing and stylish with plenty of room between tables so you don’t feel on top of anyone else. My husband and I both had feather blade of beef which was beautiful. It was so tender it fell apart and the gravy was delicious. We followed up with a cheeseboard and a coconut panna cotta both of which were lovely.

Meal was very nice but when deal said 3 courses for ten pound that's what people would expect to pay not all the add ons for different things. On the plus side the sticky toffee pudding was beautiful even tho you had to pay extra for either custard cream or ice cream. Very nice tho

Cream tea not nice , scones hard as rocks , sandwich fillers very cold just out of fridge cakes very poor not recommended

Requested an intimate table for a date if possible during online booking, and when we arrived, we had the whole top floor to ourselves, the table was decorated with napkins folded into hearts, a personalised message was there wishing us the best for our date and future from the whole staff, and the music felt like it had been hand picked just for us. The extra mile the staff went to in making this date special for us was incredible. Katy, our waitress, is an asset to the restaurant, she made it for us, she is the most bubbly, happy, positive person we've met in a long time, she really did go the extra mile in making our evening special, she took notice, was patient, attentive without being overbearing, and absolute delight to have serving us. The food was out of this world, absolutely beautiful. Above and beyond does not do justice to this restaurant or it's staff. The memory of this date will stay with us throughout our relationship.

Fantastic food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. The scotch egg was amazing!

Great food, parmos some of the best in the area, service tho is slow at times but always polite and helpful. Love the happy hour menu

Afternoon tea was delicious, servce was excellent will definitely be going back

Went for a lovely family meal here and I couldn’t fault it one bit, the staff are super friendly making the atmosphere very welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious and the service was superb. Would highly recommend this to everyone!!

Fantastic value for money, even with add ons! I went with my fiance for a date night and it came to roughly £30 for 3 courses, a drink each and extras. Good portion sizes too and each course was delicious. Great atmosphere and loved the decor. Only thing I could really say is the service was a little slow, which is understandable. It was really busy when we went and there was a big table next to us that were constantly holding the attention of the wait staff. Would definitey go again, highly recommend.

Had a delicious afternoon tea with friends last week. Tea and drinks were good quality. Service was superb, always checking we had everything we needed and able to confidently answer any questions we had Excellent

The food was delicious very happy with the portion size,s …the service was spot on and would definitely recommend the place .

Best English breakfast we have ever had out. Fantastic quality. Really lovely.

Second visit and very disappointed was for my 60th birthday with my daughter who had travelled 200 miles. Firstly waited half hour for starter which when came was delicious then we waited another hour for our lunch which we got after chasing it. The final disappoint my daughter ordered cheeseboard and when it came was hair on one piece of cheese advised waitress no apology just said we will change it yes they did when returned one chese taken off and not replaced and brought back my daughter didn't touch it after that. We were very unhappy with the long long wait and having to remind them we were waiting and cheese situation in which we had to ask for refund spoilt out visit completely great food nut you really need to sort out waiting times and generally customer service issues

Excellent service and really tasty food

This was the first time we went to the farmers arms and it won’t be the last time we were amazed at how much food we got and the quality of our food was amazing hats off to the chef, the young lad who served us was so polite and very efficient and the place it’s self is quirky and just my cup of tea

I think this is the third time we've eaten here and the food gets better every time. I got a fillet steak which was amazing and my partner got to pork chop. The service is always great and everything is reasonably priced for how nice it is!
