Reviews in County Durham

Had a birthday spa weekend booked everything was messed up or wrong to the point where I was sitting in tears from the food in the restaurant and it’s staff they were fabulous

Can't comment on Gilroys menu/service, even though I paid £30 per head for evening meal we had to eat in Dickens Bar as we had our dog with us. Everything about Dickens bar was fantastic.

Lovey food, good sized portions, value for money and friendly staff

Lovely setting and atmosphere for an NYE meal. Very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately my partners starter was very basic for the price of £8, the prawns looked like they had just been placed from a packet onto a plate. The fillet steak was not cooked correctly, it was eaten anyway purely so we didn’t have to wait for another to be cooked. Good portion size for the meal overall and was still nice, but would expect to get exactly what was ordered for the price of it. Arrabiata pasta came as a good portion, probably too much. Well presented but unfortunately apart from having a chilli kick, the sauce tasted bland or watered down. £80 for two drinks, two starters and two mains seemed very overpriced for what we got. It was our first meal here so not sure if these issues were due to it being NYE however I wouldn’t even say the restaurant was ‘busy’. We have eaten at the Antler bar in the past with no issues so may book in there if we were wanting to try again.

Lovely food and nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back!

Beautiful venue and meal. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and service excellent.

We had a Christmas get together for our family. The ballroom looked lovely although it smelled of smoke from the fire. The food was lovely but the service was terrible and really didn’t do the Morrit justice. If someone had asked about drinks more would have been sold. No-one asked us if the food was ok, the dessert took an age. Really simply train your staff to be responsive and the restaurant would then be full of people returning for the delicious food . I will say though that the booking staff were very helpful

Good place to stay. Very peaceful and chilled atmosphere. Room overlooking the golf course was very clean and comfortable. Food very good and breakfast very good. Would stay again.Staff very helpful and friendly.

Terrible service, seated in the bar with no table service, waited over an hour for even our starters to arrive. Food was average. Wouldn’t be back.

Fantastic food and great service. Amazing value for money considering the quality of the meals. Would highly recommend.

Excellent value for money and good quality food, we got 3 course happy hour deals and everything was piping hot and delicious. Service was attentive and friendly too. Would highly recommend !

Visited as part of the Bottomless Brunch deal. Fabulous food, great waitress service. There was a good choice of drinks on the package. Would definitely visit again. Fab Christmas treat.

Lovely food, excellent service

Went here and tried the 3 meat roast , Was a deal for 3 courses as well , thought as it’s the deal might get small portions , however this wasn’t the case!! The 3 meat roast was literally 3 full meat servings and was absolutely beautiful!!! I struggled to finish it but got there in the end! Dessert was also lovely, had the sticky toffee pudding was just perfect for me, it’s just a shame this pub isn’t walking distance for me as would be there most weekends for the food!

Place is amazing food good but waited 1 hour before eating our stater Breakfast was amazing really enjoyed it and the room we stayed in was beautiful it’s the second time I have been there and would recommend it to everyone and will definitely be going back again soon

While staying at The Derwent Manor Hotel we had the pleasure of dining in The Prego Restaurant choosing from a three course evening meal and breakfast the following morning. Each course was absolutely delicious! All food was cooked and prepared to absolute perfection. We could not have been happier and can’t wait to return.

We had our girls night out here last night. First time trying here and it wont be the last. Food was lovely. Clean plates all round. The 3 courses for £10 is amazing value for money. The staff were friendly and the service was perfect. It definitely wont be long till we return.

We ate in a beautifully decorated dining room, surrounded by Christmas decorations and candles. The evening meal was excellent, we had starters of Trio of Bonbons and Smoked salmon, both were delicious. We followed with Confit of duck and Pork fillet. These were excellent, served with delicious sauces and lovely vegetables. The red cabbage with my duck was particularly good. To finish we had crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding, a lovely end to our meal. For breakfast we both chose Eggs Benedict which was lovely, followed by toast and pastries. A great start to the day. The staff were attentive and pleasant, resulting in a very good experience.
