Goosepool House and Cafe in Darlington

Just ok that’s about it Barely any filling Cakes are the bought in type that last forever in a plastic wrapper, taste like plastic.

About a year ago on a trip to Edinburgh we stopped in Masham North Yorkshire and had fish & chips at Harry's. 12 months later we returned and were not disappointed. Crisp batter and succulent fish with yummy chips. We had the Senior's Special and it was more than adequate for us. Well worth a visit whether you eat in or take away. Well done yet again..

It’s always lovely food normally however this time iv been put off as found a big long black hair in my salt and pepper chicken dish so whoever was dealing with the food needs to start wearing a hair net and tie hair back it’s a shame

Busy, but still no excuse for serving barely warm food, I'd guess that it had been sat on the pass for some time.

Never again. We have been numerous times before and have put up with the total incompetence of the front of house as the food is amazing. But tonight was the last straw. Booked for 8.30pm and on arrival there was only 5 tables occupied. Chart music playing in the back ground which is the norm for this place, but some very unhappy looking faces greeted us from those table which were occupied. Should have known Really !! So after 45 mins, having taken our drinks order 6 times and food order once we still had nothing to show for our time and patience. It’s was defiantly time to leave when he confirmed that the kitchen hadn’t even started our order and asked what we wanted to drink once more. A real shame as the food is amazing, if only they would give it a Thai atmosphere, turn off the chart music, employ some staff and make it feel like a Thai restaurant. This could be a little gold mine and a wonderful place to eat.
