The best restaurants in County Durham North East

Very good food good staff pleasant surroundings and parking can’t fault it

Greta service. Amazing quality food

Delicious food and lovely staff - a hidden gem!

Quick lunch, i had the Cornedbeef pie, Mrs had the Pork Chop. Great service, lovely meal, highly recommend. Clean, modern, friendly. Would have liked branded sauces, carpark can get really busy. Apart from those small details, it's a gem of a place, be back soon.

We had such a lovely time today at the quarry tea house. We had afternoon tea. The attention to detail is scound to none. The food is outstanding and the staff are so helpful. We will definitely will be returning. 😊

Great night for our Xmas do. Service was very good and food lovely

Visited tonight for the first time. The service and the food were excellent.All staff were very polite and helpful.Will certainly be returning in the future

Perfect service once again, gorgeous good highly recommend visiting 😁

We happened across the Tees’Pot by accident after we had visited Low Force for a morning walk so we decided to give it a go. It’s quite basic in appearance and small but in a very quaint way. Please don’t let this put you off going in. After we were seated we all ordered some food the cheese scones and soup (curried vegetable) were very nice. My father in law had two mince pies with cream and he thoroughly enjoyed them. The food was extremely well prepared and filling. The staff are friendly and know their menu well. The prices seemed reasonable for a cafe in a tourist area and I’d go there again if I was in the area.

Comfortable Pub with good drinks selection and delicious food, will be back

Came here for Sunday lunch with family and was greeted by the most relaxing atmosphere and tasty food. Definitely worth the visit. Friendly staff too! Was busy so would reccomend booking.

We've been visiting this place for about 20 years! There's a good reason we keep going back! Excellent home cooked food, very good portions and so tasty. (I think only Wed/Fri at the moment) Good quality, well stored and poured real ales too. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Joan and Kelly are great hosts, very welcoming. Highly recommended.

As always a great venue for our yearly Xmas meal out. Awesome as always

A real gem of a place. It’s cosy and laid back feel is great but the food and coffee is outstanding! We will be regulars here each time we visit Durham.

Went here for a pint and ended staying the whole evening. Great Karaoke evening will certainly be returning
