The best restaurants in County Durham North East

We manage to get to Shaheens around eight times a year and every time we go we are reminded how poor the other curries we have are. We simply cannot fault the service or the food.

The mallard has a lovely Atmosphere the staff are very friendly and polite

A wonderful little walk to clear the cobwebs

First time experiencing Estabulo, very welcoming on arrival and explained the process very well. Our waiter Alex was very attentive and helpful throughout our visit. Food was delicious and plentiful. Stuffed after 30 minutes. Will be back.

We came here for a drink once and really liked the selection of wine and beers. It's a nice real ale pub but unfortunately we walked out the last few times because of screaming children which is a shame as it is a small cosy pub and spoils the atmosphere.

4 of us booked for tea today pub beautiful and cosy food is amazing and atmosphere like been at home will be back very soon.

A hidden .... micro brewery/pub/gastro delight! And also ..... frickin freezing! It's a curious mix of hidden gem meets surprisingly clever warehouse, never been to a place like this before and absolutely loved it. Food was great and an impressive variety of independent brewed drinks

Amazing food great staff fair prices. Amazingly clean

Absolutely gorgeous food. Will be back.

What a lovely friendly pub with nice people to go in & staff too.

Warm welcoming cafe, smelt heavenly with all the baked goods! The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxing when I went in to order. Did get a tea to takeaway, which was nice.

Our local now. Been twice and have been impressed both times. Service is lovely and the food's delicious. Plenty of veggie options, too.
