Farmhouse Dine & Wine – DurhamI've been going to the Easten Bamboo since it opened the food is absolutely delicious Sally and Raymond are such lovely people so caring I would have no hesitation in recommending this restuarant the food and staff are second to none
Eastern Bamboo – DarlingtonRecommended to us and I am so pleased it was. We have been twice in the last fortnight,once as a couple to try it and once as a party of 15 for a birthday. Both times were superb. The scotch egg and camambert are delicious as is the fillet staek and linguine and so reasonably priced. The staff took my little boy to the toy box and kept chatting to him the whole time. The whole atmosphere was so friendly and relaxed even though it was busy. Great service,great food and definitely one to go to.
The Copper Mine – CrookDreadful experience . Party of 10 booked in for 7.30pm Food finally arrived at 9.15 . Staff indifferent and unapologetic . Won't be going back
The Copper Mine – CrookSuperb food. Service good, will be back.
Mumbai Grand Within the Grand Hotel – HartlepoolFantastic food and atmosphere, best restaurant in the area.
Sardis – DarlingtonVisited the Wheatsheaf for a birthday meal... to be told you only do Toasties, wasnt very happy as the Wheatsheaf was recommended
The Wheatsheaf – DarlingtonAwesome. Seriously contemporary intelligent cooking. Complex food presented in a gloriously simplistic way, with some wonderful storytelling. Not bad for a self-taught chef. The bream was one of the best bits of fish that I've ever had. The wine list is a fascinating labour of love too.
The Raby Hunt Restaurant with Rooms – DarlingtonVery good place to go, the locals are dead canny and all the family are welcome.
Gaietys – HartlepoolGood job the foods great because the staff are all sour faced.
Ming Chef – DarlingtonMyself, my sister and 2 friends went for a meal tonight, from going in we felt very welcome by staff who where very pleasant. We enjoyed perfect starters and main meals which we did not have to wait long for. staff very attentive to our every need nothing was a bother, would definitely go again, thankyou.
Tree of York Road, The – PeterleeI have tried fish and chips from all over and the quality and price here is excellent
i Fry – Chester-le-StreetThis is disgusting. I have never in my life been to a restaurant and been treated so appallingly. Table was filthy and waitress refused to clean it. I refused to accept food until table was cleaned so she wiped the table mats, mine still had dried in mushy peas on it when she had finished. I cleaned the table myself with her cloth. Food came on a dirty plate -it had dried on baked beans all over it. Watress took it away and transferred food to another dirty plate. She then had the cheek to bring us dirty cutlery. I would never eat here again and woukd not advise anyone else to do so.
