Reviews in County Durham

Fabulous food, piping hot and large portions. We did the 3 course for £10 and is worth double that. Service a little slow but think they’d had to get someone in to help due to a no show. Wouldn’t deduct from score as the rest between courses was great. I had pate, peppercorn chicken and apple crumble. Pave potato was with the chicken, fabulous. Roasted carrots and a really good peppercorn sauce, on chicken and a sauce boat. Crumble…too much, custard dreamy. My wife had potato skins (gave me half…hence I struggled) mushroom tagliatelle and sticky toffee pudding, oodles if sauce and ice cream. 2 lager shandies and would highly recommend

Fantastic all round

The restaurant was pleasant and the food was good - but not value for money. The service was very poor. We had to ask if we could get some pre drinks and we had already been sat waiting for about 15-20. We then had to stop someone to ask if we could place our order. Finally after our meal we had to find and ask if we could move to the lounge area for coffee. Needless to say we sat and waited for someone to take our order but no one came so again we had to stop a passing waiter to put an order in. Sadly the coffee was cold.

A surprising little gem! Attentive staff, great food and superb value for money.

Great service, friendly staff and lovely food . Will definitely be back

Lovely 3 courses for £10 meal at the Farmers Arms wouldn’t hesitate to book again, quiet low lighting atmosphere was great, tables not too close together and the menu was enough too choose from and something different for everyone, all were totally stuffed on leaving, absolutely lovely

Excellent place to eat. Lovely food, great staff.

Great valley three course happy hour and great choice. Gorgeous starter and lovely choc fudge cake but pizza was small, overdone, dry with hardly any cheese on! Love atmosphere and Environment though

A fabulous atmosphere gorgeous building. A welcoming attitude right into stepping into the building. Staff very friendly, afternoon tea was delicious. The cakes all tasted individual and all homemade. Very clean. Definitely recommend the place.

We were staying in the area & decided this place looked good —-we were not disappointed. The staff were lovely ,attentive & professional. All the food the 4 of us had was amazing .

Evening meal was to be a treat. The sea bass was very small. The chips with the steak were rancid .the oil they had been cooked in needed changing .sweet was under cooked pastry. It could have been enhanced with grated orange peel on top.

Been a few times now and the food is absoloutley stunning, menu has a wide variety even on the £10 for three courses menu. The portions are huge as well. Staff are so helpful and friendly, always checking to make sure everything is okay, couldn't have faulted a thing! 10/10 can't wait to come back!

Lovely Sunday lunch Greasy tasty food Cosy atmosphere

We stayed for 1 night at the Morritt Hotel, our stay included a 3 course meal of which was fantastic, 5 star!!! I had the cauliflower and spinach pakora, my husband had the terrine, both delicious! Mains were seabass and pan fried pork, both very tasty, desserts were very nice too. Could not fault the delicious food for our evening meal and breakfast and the staff working in the restaurant were lovely too. I wish the same could be said about the spa and our room, the food was by far the best thing about our stay at The Morritt

Absolutely fantastic meal and customer service during a first visit with a friend yesterday. Certainly won’t be our last

Good food & great value, stunning place
