What an amazing place, we go as often as we can for breakfast because of 2 members of staff who make the place have such a happy atmosphere, Kathryn Horn and Caroline Allinson are so friendly.

The Sunday carvery as it was called was absolutely dismal. No mashed potato left. We should have been told this before paying for 3 adult carveries. Very poor selection of vegetables Gravy had no taste at all. The meat was really nice however when having a Sunday carvery you expect a good variety. We arrived at not long after 4pm so not as if it was late Sunday evening. Staff all very friendly and very helpful . No issue at all great service but the worst carvery I've ever had!

Staying at the premier inn opposite as I have done for years. With no problems all of a sudden the staff have decided to stop producing food at 9 o'clock at night instead of 9.30 as stated on the menu. This in its own is not a massive issue. The big issue is that they decided to close the hole establishment at 10.20 at night even though it states that they should be open till 11 o'clock. If you close an establishment early then fine but don't let paying guest think they have more time than you are allowing them kind regards gary

I ordered at the bar & the waitress taking my order told me two minutes while she finished using her mobile. She wasn’t friendly or helpful with the menu at all. I ordered the katsu curry and several days later I’m still looking for the rest of the portion! It could’ve been mistaken for a child’s portion. It was £11 and tasted very bland. My disabled daughter had the kids pasta, I wasn’t asked what sides she’d like so she couldn’t have them as it came with corn on the cob she can’t manage to eat. Empty plates sat for quite a while before being cleared away and it wasn’t at all busy during our visit. Wouldn’t return or recommend

I think this pub has had its time… tables has not been wiped or cleaned had to find member of staff to clean it the menu was greasy we ordered fish and chips it was ment to be beer battered fish it took ages to come I thought the went to Whitby to catch the fish … finally when it come the fish batter was not crispy and the fish was too over cooked it was rubbery chips wasn’t all that too. I think it’s had its day that pub only thing going for it was the drinks.

Went for unlimited breakfast. What a joke. By time we placed order and had food in front of us the breakfast was finishing so had to order more straight away. All cereal and toast and juice was put away while people were eating. They should have come round and told us it was being put away so could have made toast. Food was awful. Sausage was raw. Bacon no flavour. Egg was not cooked. We had no mushrooms or blackpudding on the plate. Another customer complained she didn't have time to order more food. And the man that looked like a manager was laughing about it after the customer had gone. Will not be back again. Will stick with toby.

The food was nice, we had Sunday carvery. There was nothing exceptional about the bar staff. In fact, they seemed disorganised and frantic with Sunday service.

Not been here for a while, and sadly won’t be going back. Service was mediocre, ordered a starter with additional goons and was brought garlic bread! By the time the goujons arrived the rest of the starter was gone. Mainz was even worse. Ordered luxury crumb top chicken and pulled ham pie, got chicken and potato pie. Still looking for the pulled ham. Skin on chips were frozen skinny chips and some insignificant cold peas. £40 wasted. Sadle l the smokers congregate outside the front door as well so the smoke is really off putting. Really really not a good place to eat.

Pre-booked a table at The Tindale Crossing Brewers Fayre for Sunday lunch for 5 people (3 adults and 2 children). We arrived a little early and were warmly welcomed, shown to our table and given menus to peruse. The place was clean and well presented, there was also plenty of staff on hand to answer any questions we had. The adults decided to go for the carvery meal with a mix of meats while the kids went for a 3 course children's meal each. The food was of good quality and everyone tucked into and thoroughly enjoyed their lunch and drinks in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. What made our visit extra special was the attention shown to us throughout our dining experience by one particular member of staff (Jonny) who was pleasant and professional in his approach while assisting us with our various requests. In brief, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with good food and excellent service. Thank you Tindale Crossing and extra thanks to Jonny.

We come here occasionally so the kids can use the indoor play area while we have something to eat, the 2 previous times I’ve been there was a young girl working the play area part, very moody and unpleasant (seemed like she didn’t like kids, which isn’t great when working in a play area), on the way in today I said I hope she’s not in this time. Anyway, we were pleasantly greeted by a lovely blonde lady, I think she was called Lesley. She was excellent, really friendly and interacted with the kids on arrival. Always checking the play area to make sure everything was ok, couldn’t do enough for everyone. Made a huge difference to have pleasant member of staff. Hopefully see her again next time! Enjoyed our Carvery and it was reasonably priced, carvery was also served by a lovely man.

Lovely restaurant in Durham we booked for the afternoon tea experience…. Firstly I would like to say we really enjoyed our visit and the food & staff were very good! The only thing that spoiled the afternoon was when we were paying (which we did individually) & it came to me the whole service charge was as added to my bill so I ended up paying way more than everyone else as I was the last person to pay! Nothing was mentioned in advance about this… I think it would have been much better to let people know before paying and then the service charge can be shared between the whole party 😊 Just a small suggestion that would that would make things much better

Ordered a footlong. The excitement ended there. Lady made the sandwich, then used two hands and full body weight to press it down. So I had a 1 inch thick footlong. She didn't cut it properly. The contents of my skinny sandwich jettisoned out and I had to re load it myself. Hardly any sauce. Was dry and flat. Lazy preparation and zero quality. 'You want crip'

Usually I order from a local takeaway in my town, but this time I felt like I wanted to give Pizza 4U a go and so I ordered one of their pepperoni pizzas, the delivery lady was very friendly and she got here pretty swiftly after my order, so now I'm going to give my honest take on the pizza. The dough was a lot more thicker than most pizzas I order from takeaways, the cheese was nice and the pepperoni was definitely flavourful, but the sauce was a bit mid, it was nice but not perfect, so I'd say this place is average, not bad but not great.
