About Gilroy’s Restaurant at The Morritt

The Morritt Arms Hotel sits in the Teesdale countryside at Greta Bridge, near Barnard Castle, and has a rich history stretching back to the seventeenth century. Today a four-star country house hotel, spa retreat and popular wedding venue, it was visited by Dickens, Turner and Sir Walter Scott and in the middle of last century famous artist John Gilroy created much of the artwork that adorns the walls of the casual dining Dickens Bar and Bistro. Gilroy’s Restaurant is the AA-rosetted fine dining restaurant in the main house where young and passionate Head Chef Ory Vanes serves classic English dishes with a modern twist. The menu changes regularly and is based around fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Gilroy’s is open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

Excellent meal and service in the bistro. The prawn and crayfish deserve a special mention. Delicious

The food was absolutely delicious. Pork Belly and the Duck. Lovely Christmas atmosphere in the hotel.

Very disappointing. Having read other reviews I don’t know if we just happened to go on a bad day, I booked the main restaurant as it was a significant birthday celebration for my mother. In hindsight I wish we had just had a bar meal as the bar was quite busy and I suspect that was the kitchen’s priority. I tried not to make too much of a fuss over my meal as I did not want to spoil the experience for my mother. However I had to give in and send my dauphinois potatoes back as they weren’t cooked. I did say I would have been happy to have them popped in the microwave to finish cooking them, but that did not happen. I waited and then was asked if I would like a different kind of potato as it wasn’t possible to serve the dauphinois. I declined and just had what my mother hadn’t eaten as I didn’t want to delay the meal. I had duck breast, which was as tough as old boots, but to send that back would have definitely delayed the meal and spoiled the occasion. Despite all this my mother enjoyed her meal of Dover sole, which at the end of the day was the main thing. If it was not a special occasion and just my husband and I eating I would have sent it back. There was no discount on the final bill to reflect the problem, which was also disappointing. On the positive side the staff were very friendly, but on the whole there was a lack of attention to detail.

Four of us stayed in the hotel on Saturday night and had dinner in the restaurant. It was an exceptionally good! It was beautifully presented and we all said that it was probably one of the nicest meals we have had of late. Compliments to the chef and team who also made me feel very special on my birthday. Would highly recommend.

I went to Gilroys restaurant as part of a package deal and found the food perfectly cooked and tasty, with generous portions, and the staff friendly and helpful.

The dining table looked so attractive, candles completed the atmosphere. The service was excellent . Kellie in particular was really professional and nothing was too much trouble for her. The menu didn't have a massive choice and it was on the expensive side but everyone enjoyed their meal and all in all a lovely evening.

My wife and I had two dinners here at a recent stay in the hotel. All our food was excellent, really first rate and the service could not have been better. The atmosphere was friendly and the meals were good value for money. One main course I had, the Ox check Bourginion was the best dish I have eaten this Year!
