Set in the picturesque Weardale countryside and nearby to top County Durham attractions, Tindale Crossing Brewers Fayre is great for stopping off for some tasty pub grub at any time of day.
Great food and great service. If your staying ask about the breakfast and dinner package.
They allowed us to book a big part of the pub out to celebrate my daughters 18th. They allowed us early access to decorate how we wanted. We had a great evening, great food and great atmosphere, would 100% recommend Tindle crossing for any celebration. Queen Sophie is awesome 😘
Nice enough food had a nice pint of Guinness to wash it down with the first burger I had was burnt but they was really happy to change it for me can not complain about the second one it was so nice. Had apple Berry for desert. That was really nice two all in all really good 👍
So disappointed with this place, after being recommended to come here for breakfast. No cups, plates, food and fruit plates pretty much empty. Understaffed by the looks of things with tables next to ours stacked with dirty plates. One staff member, Amelia, did make an effort with an apology, for which I was grateful.
Absolutely shocking service. We ordered 2 adult meals and 2 children's meals. The kids starters came and were tiny. Our son got nachos, there were 6 on a plate with some chopped tomato and dip. Our daughter ordered garlic flatbread, there were 2 small dry slices. We ordered some loaded nachos to share. We upgraded to get beef chilli on top, it was pitiful (when it eventually arrived). So after our starter initially not arriving they brought out 1 adults main, and 2 children's mains. We told them we hadn't yet been served our starter, but they could leave the children's mains and they could get on with them, they did not!! They took everything back to the kitchen, 15 minutes later they returned with our starter, which was pathetic, albeit tasty enough. Before we could even finish the meager offering, now also sharing with the children as their starters were so small and now a distant memory, our main courses arrived again. My wife looked at me as if ready to send them back again. However I jumped in and told them to leave them. Due to the past 60 minutes I wasn't sure if they'd return, and by the looks of the pizza in particular wouldn't cope with another zapping in the microwave. As mentioned my daughter's pizza looked as if it had been mistaken for a crème brulé, and torched by an arsonist on a mission. My son's spaghetti Bolognese fresh from a tin was accompanied by his veg sticks, which had also been microwaved, despite being uncooked prior and a solitary wheel of corn on the cob. We both chose a tikka masala, which again was tasty enough, but had obviously been nuked, as the rice, if treat correctly could have been moulded into a ball and bounced off every wall of the restaurant. Cue dessert, now us adults refused to waste any more of our hard earned money, but since the kids puddings were part of the meal we waited. 20 minutes after finishing our mains a member of staff finally approached us and asked if we were ready for anything else. They came, surprisingly quite quickly, and the kids seemed to enjoy them. Now through the entire debacle one member of staff sheepishly uttered sorry as he was walking away, we can understand being a little flustered and service being slow on a Saturday evening, but when we left there were fewer tables seated than there were members of staff. Now honestly the food wasn't too bad, and I understand that you get what you pay for, but if you are considering paying a visit, I would block out an entire day in your diary, and potentially go when there are fewer than 4 tables occupied, also order each course separately as it will means they will less likely foul up.
