The food and all the staff were spot on....service was very quick

Lovely atmosphere and service was amazing. Unfortunately my friend ordered the chicken kebab and it came to the table uncooked...we had to send it back. Everything else was wonderful, but obviously uncooked chicken not good!

Myself ,my son and his wife went for Sunday Dinner on 12/4/2026 and it was delicious we had 2 courses and both were delicious

I've been to the Farmers Arms several times now, but this was the first time for Sunday lunch. I went with my sister and brother-in-law, who hadn't been before. We were all bowled over by the quality and portions of the lunch, and it was a pleasure for me to introduce them to the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service that I have come to expect!

Me and my mam came for an afternoon in the spa which included a treatment and lunch. Everything was absolutely amazing from the treatment to the spa and the food. Staff were absolutely lovely could not fault it at all will defo be back ASAP x

Had a lovely 3 course meal today which was excellent value for money £10!!!! I had a lovely pate then giant Yorkshire pudding stuffed with lashings of beef and “homemade veg” mash and roasted potatoes AND the pièce de résistance the best stickie toffee pudding and custard I’ve had in a long time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this place. Definitely go back very soon x

I had another lovely meal at the Farmer's Arms yesterday. I have probably been close to 10 times and everytime I have been amazed at the price charged for the quality of the food received. Can not recommend too highly.

We have been visiting here for years, we’ve never once had a bad meal or bad service! Can always count on Farmhouse to deliver a brilliant visit!

My daughter and I went this weekend, staff are lovely and friendly, food was really nice, my daughter had the cream egg/scotch egg and said it was amazing, well done

I love Gussto, been lots of times and never disappoints. Food is delicious. The service is excellent and all in all would highly recommend it. It’s like having a small bit of Spain in the heart of Durham . Lovely!

Had Easter lunch here yesterday, the staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We will be returning, we didn’t wait long for our food, I honestly cannot fault our dining experience. Thank you

Brilliant Food, Great service from Jerry, always friendly staff. I had the Double Hot and Spicy Burger, absolutely incredible. Great value for money and my girlfriend had a Beef Sunday Dinner, which has to be the best in the area! Very satisfied and will be returning soon!

Had two course Sunday meal starter's were lovely main course was good the only thing i object to because i don't eat any kind of veg apart from potato i asked for another Yorkshire pudding in place of the veg also asked for seperate gravy however when the bill came they charged me £1 for gravy/ Extra Yorkshire pudding apart from that the were very friendly had a laugh with one we will visit again hoping that the extra Yorkshire pudding will in place of no veg

Booked to go on Easter Sunday for lunch as a family of 4 .We arrived at 12 and wete amongst the 1st people in...promptly asked what drinks we wanted and then food order taken.This is when the only issue happened...we ordered 1 started and then 3 Sunday roasts to follow and 1 parmo .We waited nearly an hour for the 1 starter, whilst tables who had arrived after us were getting their mains...when all the food did eventually arrive it was top notch apart from the yorkshire puddings which were abit cold and a really good price

Fabulous dining experience

Absolutely amazing food, the pasta is the best we’ve had outside of Italy. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The two course offer was great value for money as. Delicious cocktails as well. We would definitely come back

Booked for Sunday lunch was sat very near to lovely warm open fire. Staff were very attentive and helpful. The meal was served very quickly fantastic selection of vegetables tender meat and a yorkie to die for. All covered in proper tasty gravy. Fantastic meal.
