About Red Alligator

The Red Alligator in South Church is named after the 1968 Grand National winner which was trained by Denys Smith at his stables just across the road. The pub is about a mile from the centre of Bishop Auckland, in the shadow of St Andrew’s church, and has a spacious bar area and a dining room and snug to the rear. Under new management, it’s open daily for lunch and dinner with a special carvery on Sundays.

Lovely pub. Carvery is great and food is excellent.

Far too many people booked for Mother’s Day, not enough staff and obviously letting more take aways in as well. Waited ages for our table and were then asked to leave the table after less than an hour, we hadn’t even ordered desserts! Food was ok, not keen on veggie options but plenty of vegetables

My partner Ed and I visited the Red Alligator for Sunday Lunch yesterday. We has often passed by on the way to Bishop Auckland and agreed we should pay a visit. What an amazing experience it turned out to be. My partner suffers with COPD which affects his breathing and mobility. We were given a well positioned table and the staff could not have been more helpful. The Carvery had an excellent choice of meats and accompanying vegetables (all obviously homemade) plus the staff helped get us and our meals safely to our table. The meal was very tasty, with generous portions, followed by a good choice of desserts. We finished feeling very full and satisfied despite only having the standard size portions. Personally, I have never seen such large Yorkshire Puddings, I'm glad I declined a second one ! My partner can be a picky eater but he cleared both his Sunday Roast and dessert plates completely (a recommendation in itself !). We will be returning to the Red Alligator and can recommend the establishment. Thank you all for your food and service.
