Chilled out atmosphere and really lovely food. Drinks service a little slow at the table around 10mins wait but the waiting staff were lovely and we were enjoying the time out so not a problem for us. Good value; a shame we don't have one closer to home as the dog friendly bar is a real asset.
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamThe food was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Shin Beef from the bar and that was excellent.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleMyself and my partner came for food for the first time and had the 3 courses for £10. We wernt disappointed, one of the best meals we've had for a long time. Staff were really friendly and attentive, especially Gemma, food was beautiful. There's nothing that we would have changed at all. We will definitely be back soon to try the normal menu too.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamThe food was delicious and the atmosphere was really nice,,
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleFood ok. Service not so good. When ordered didn’t have what wanted on 3 attempts which should have been highlighted to us before ordering. Waitress brought my main then had to wait over 5 mins before husband’s came. Ordered more drinks before main…. Ate main waited 5 mins then decided to go pay. Drinks were on way as we were leaving where I explained we had waited to long. Just looked at us…. No apology just made us feel we were in wrong. Needless to say we won’t be rushing back
The Farmers Arms – DurhamHad spa evening and charcuterie in bar food was tasty but service of drinks etc in bar was very slow
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleFood was really good , staff couldn’t be more helpful , polite creating a great atmosphere. We went when the special offer was on and restaurant was fairly fullso Unfortunately it did take longer for each course to come out, had to take the sweet home with us. This would not have deterred me however the table next to us arrived approx 10 minutes after us basically ordered similar food but there courses arrived 10 minutes before us which I thought rather annoying . All in all even for the full price value for money.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamThe food was excellent the service was just as good, there is a great atmosphere it is definitely a good place to eat and enjoy a meal
The Farmers Arms – DurhamExcellent food & service
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleStaff friendly. Food very nice but some prices a bit dear
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleWent with my family for fathers day. Food and service were excellent. Staff friendly. We were given the full menu along with the fathers day menu. Fathers day menu quoted prices for 2 or three courses. The full menu quoted 1 course Sunday lunch at 8.95. We ordered 3 Sunday lunches along with 1 pasta dish and S garlic bread. The bill came to £54.35. When I questioned this I was told that 1 course Sunday lunch was 13.95 because of it being fathers day. So the Sunday lunch had increased by £5 per head there was no mention of this on the menu. Very disappointing
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe have amazing foods good service restaurants always still busy everything it fine for us
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamHow anyone can score the food here anything less than a 4.5 is beyond me!! Service was wonderful, all lovely smiling faces and the food, wow. There isn't a great selection, but what the do, they do well!! I was not disappointed!!
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonWe were sceptical as it seemed too good to be true. 3 courses for £10 youd struggle to get the ingredients for that in Tesco. Service, atmosphere and food were all excellent. Quality and portion size were outstanding will definitely be back. Even the full price menu is excellent value.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamFood was ok , when it said a two course meal i wasn’t expecting a sandwich, when we order it took 35 mins to arrive , surroundings were lovely, we enjoyed watching the people playing golf, The spa is very dated , amazing what a lick of paint could do, also went in for a hour treatment and my partner only got half an hour , someone didn't get the meno, dont think we will be returning
Hall Garth Hotel – Darlingtonlovely afternoon tea warm and fresh, lovely surroundings would definitely visit again. Popped in spa pool was cold and it was a bit dated, but we still had a lovely afternoon
