Reviews in County Durham

Quiet surroundings with plenty of character. Food excellent with friendly service, what more could you ask.

First time visitor and praise enough. Friendly staff great atmosphere and superb food, Reasonably priced too. Can’t wait to return.

Booked a table for 4 on saturday night, all enjoyed a variety and very well prepared italian menu Gamberoni was excellent very very busy so service was necessary slower Excellent pint of Guiness back wednesday night for more!!

Afternoon tea was very nice, food was good and service good. Could have been a little more food for my liking. If you are a big eater you’d be left a bit hungry. We were alone in the restaurant so it lacked atmosphere and overall I was disappointed I chose here for using my voucher. When I used the ladies before leaving, as soon as I walked in, it absolutely stank of urine. Reminded me of a bad public toilet. So I won’t be returning.

I enjoyed Sunday lunch with friends recently which was very good value for money. The staff were attentive and efficient, and the venue is welcoming.

This was our first time visit. WOW... firstly the friendliness of your staff, was spot on, helpful and caring, the food was out of this world. There were 4 of us and we all were extremely happy with the quality and taste of each one of our dishes. We enjoyed the offer on the Gins too. So we will definitely be returning, in fact we've already booked again. Thank you for an outstanding meal.

Lovely place for a light lunch with good service & a pretty location. We shall return.

Fantastic value for money. Great gluten free options. Terrific service. It was a little bit drafty and noisy with the back door open (maybe a covid thing), would prefer to sit in the main restaurant area but overall, definitely be back

Very good service. The food was lovely. Nice atmosphere

First time I've been and will definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and food, and a really good choice of kids meals. Thank you!

We’ve just moved to the area and wanted to try somewhere new out for Sunday dinner, safe to say we were not disappointed, the food was lovely and plenty of it, service was fast and attentive, will definitely be returning for a weekend/mid week date night! Menu looks fantastic.

Fabulous food and service as always. Loved it. Thank you

Was here early eve yesterday. Food was amazing service was good. Will definitely be back

Beautiful food , lovely staff and atmosphere and good value for money

An absolutely wonderful meal at a great price. The steaks were wonderful and the chips out of this world. The staff where efficient and friendly.

I visited the Townhouse smokehouse last weekend with my friend for our monthly catch up. We certainly where not disappointed, the food was amazing, the staff where all really friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is perfectly laid out giving just the right amount of room between tables, the decor is beautiful and very in keeping with the rest of the hotel. But what can I say about there cocktails they are delicious and definitely pack a punch, I was so pleased to see cocktails back on the menu having previously stayed at the hotel and really enjoying the cocktail menu. It was definitely a hit for us, so we will definitely be back again. I personally can't wait to come back and spend the night in the hotel also.

This is one of our favourite places to eat out! Been there 3 times over the last 2 weeks. The food and service is great!

The setting off the restaurant is amazing, it’s so quirky totally original from the second we arrived the staff were fab and the food was amazing… fantastic choice of meals to suit everyone and worth every penny top quality food
