Dined here while staying at the hotel as dinner, bed an breakfast offer. Staff were very friendly, didn’t have to wait long for our food and it was delicious. Highly recommend this hotel and restaurant. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamHad a lovely afternoon tea yesterday . Staff and everything was great
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamLovely restaurant, attentive staff and delicious food. We had the Cod.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamLovely food but very poor service! Was staying here for a night to celebrate mine & my partners anniversary. We paid a lot of money for one of the luxury suites and decided we preferred the menu and atmosphere at the Bar than the restaurant, so decided to go there for food. Took 15 mins for someone to take our drinks order which was fine, as we wasn’t in a rush. Starters came quite quick and were lovely But then the mains took another hour to come.. baring in mind we only ordered 2 pizzas! We asked the staff after 40 mins and was advised they were coming.. then 20 mins later the mains finally arrived. Our bet is they forgot about our order. Was a little disappointing having a starter and then waiting another hour for our mains. The staff were pretty unhelpful, but the staff behind the bar were nothing but apologetic.. it’s just a shame this wasn’t the same for all staff.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamLovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Good good too will definitely be going back
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamWent on a Tuesday and took advantage of the £10 3 course meal. The food came really quick and was very tasty. We were too full to eat our dessert so they kindly boxed it up for us and we took it home to eat later. Staff were very friendly and helpful and really for what you pay you can't complain. Only little thing to be aware of are the supplemented items that have an asterix * against them. Also it is £1 extra to have either cream, custard or ice-cream with your dessert. Other than that the pub itself is decorated really quirky and it is lovely place to go.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamReally lovely date night with my husband, glorious food and lovely service. Attentive but not intrusive, good value - will definitely return
Pesto Italiano – DurhamVery attentive staff, I had mackerel pate to start & slow cooked neck of lamb for mains both dishes were delicious & beautifully presented, couldn’t fault a thing & would recommend.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamFood was amazing, the flavours wow definitely will return
Pesto Italiano – DurhamWent here on a Thursday and the restaurant was busy. Lovely interior and setting. The waiter didn’t explain the special offers and our starters took over 30 minutes to arrive and drinks ordered were forgotten. The main I ordered came through as an altogether different meal so my friend ate her meal alone. Her prawn and chorizo pasta was undercooked and the waitress agreed it did not smell fresh. She offered a replacement meal instead. My meal eventually came 20 minutes later and was quite bland. We felt very disappointed with the experience and can only hope that the establishment will find its feet soon as it seemed to have so much to offer when looking at its website and prime location.
Pesto Italiano – DurhamLovely food for our Anniversary staff were lovely
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleI ordered pan fried duck, the duck was lovely and tender but only warm not hot the potatoes were stone cold, beans wrapped in bacon also cold not to mention the plate which was also cold. Very disappointing to have well cooked food served cold - not impressed. Same problem at breakfast food not hot and plates cold not what I would expect from a good restaurant.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleThe food was delicious and high quality. We all enjoyed our meals. It was the best meal out I have had for a long time. The prices where very reasonable. The staff were polite helpful and attentive. They made us feel relaxed and welcome.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamWe come here quite often, the food and service have never been anything but excellent, the £10.00 deal is unbeatable. I am slowly working my way through the menu. Looming forward to my next visit.
