It is a great restaurant in Darlington. Meals are very delicious (And they were special to me). Service is very friendly and helpful. Prices of meals are very correct. Thank you for all, Lori from Debrecen, Hungary😊👍
Christmas menu so varied with loads of choice. I had the black pudding starter- tasty and loads of it and shin beef, chips and enormous onion ring for main meal. Absolutely gorgeous. We were a group of ten and thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink however we picked the coldest day of the year and were seated opposite the main door which was being opened by prospective clients and was really drafty!!!
We came with a large group. I absolutely loved my meal, deep fried brie, shin of beef and apple crumble. Huge portions, reasonably priced and the staff did a great job. I had 3 courses and a soft drink and it came to £23 which in this climate is amazing! However we came as a big group and there were quite a few grumbles about the food. That was not my experience. I really enjoyed it but that's why I've given 4 not 5 stars
Service good but the food extremely poor They seem to have their own versions of traditional sauces. More style over substance Don't think I'll be going back
We went for Mother’s Day. Prices are reasonable but the food quality is poor. The fish cakes were clearly just frozen and then deep fried. The tartar sauce was squeezed on like a child has done it. The pate came with bread not toast. Just no pride in the presentation. The Yorkshire’s were home made and massive and the gravy was delicious but the “stuffing” was just cooked sausage meat I think. Not even a whiff of some paxo! The staff looked like they wanted to be anywhere but at work and they had no ice for drinks. Toilets were disgusting. Someone had clearly been sick all down the back of the toilet. The whole place needs a good refresh and the prices could be raised if they used better quality ingredients and made things from scratch. Overall I would not rush back and would not recommend this restaurant.
