Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamWe had booked a table online but when we arrived there was no evidence of our booking. After a short wait at the bar we were taken to a table. So no issue really may just be an issue with the booking system that needs looking at. Restaurant was busy but orders taken swiftly and starters and drinks arrived in good time. A little wait for main meals but we were enjoying our drinks and the place was packed so it was understandable and not an issue. Staff were really efficient and friendly and food was really good! Tagliatelle pasta tasted really fresh with the Picante sauce.
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamMy husband & I enjoyed our recent stay at the Derwent Manor Hotel on a dinner, bed & breakfast deal. The food for the evening 3 course meal & the breakfast was very good & the staff were very attentive.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamIt was just ok really. The food was ok but service was very slow, even though it didn’t appear busy in the restaurant. The drinks order was wrong and took a while to correct and then we waited such a long time for 2 ice creams that we ended up cancelling as it was getting so late. The restaurant looks very dated. The staff were polite and tried to be helpful.
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonThe food was incredible, service was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. Definitely would recommend to anyone and will definitely be making this our favourite place to come again and again
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamFriendly service, fabulous food. Genuine Spanish ambience. Highly recommended.
Gussto Tapas Bar – DurhamI chose the duck, which was grossly undercooked, as were the limited amount of vegetables. There was a tablespoon sized portion of mash. I was very disappointed, and hungry after the meal which I had to eat as I was even more hungry when I ordered it. At £18 it is VERY overpriced!
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleAte in restaurant 2 nights in a row and we weren't disappointed. Food was spectacular. The beef was best I've ever had, my thanks to the chef! The portions were very generous and the servers were so pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. I'd like to mention Lily our server on 2nd night who was particularly lovely and very helpful.
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamLovely hotel, always stop there for lunch on our way to the lakes, staff have always been friendly and food always been good.
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleAmazing food and lovely staff, we went the same day we booked our wedding venue at the Morritt. Great experience!
Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt – Barnard CastleBrilliant atmosphere Great service Lovely food
Derwent Manor Hotel – DurhamWe booked through Secret Escapes. The hotel has such potential but is very tired and is in desperate need of some investment. The highlight was the food which was tasty and served hot and was excellent value for money. However the property was tired in places and the public areas confused and lacking in atmosphere. The restaurant and orangery were not inviting, the bar area was confused between a work hub and sports bar there was a complete lack of comfortable seating areas. Such a pity.
Hall Garth Hotel – DarlingtonService and food absolutely brilliant. Spoilt slightly by the party next to us who were so loud. Can't fault the staff and service however. Will visit again
Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamI found this restaurant by chance as my husband was traveling on the Durham train line later that day. It was conveniently on the way from hartlepool. All I can say is WOW! This has got to be one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had, and I have eaten a lot of Sunday lunches. The meat was perfect and all of the accompaniments where gorgeous. The roasties where sweet and perfectly crisp. The mash was creamy, the veg was fresh and well cooked and the presentation. I loved it with the huge pudding ontop. I chose an extra portion of cauli cheese and it was unbelievable. I honestly could not fault it. Great value too. 10/10.
The Farmers Arms – DurhamFirst time here and will NOT be the last. Service was excellent, seated straight away. We had the happy hour menu, plenty of choice, food came out quickly, hot, very tasty and just the right amount. Came away feeling like we had a very good meal.
