The best restaurants in County Durham North East

Very lovely experience at Chang Thai, the staff were amazing and very accommodating to all little details and needs. Cater for coeliacs/gluten free, though I found the restaurant menu a little confusing compared to the one I saw online. The food was absolutely delicious! My friend said it was the best Pad Thai she’s ever had! Would recommend!

We had Xmas day lunch at the old mill today. The food and the service was excellent! 5 stars all round. Thank you so much for a fantastic lunch!

Fantastic food and service. Netty was perfectly warm and welcoming, service was quick, and pricing was reasonable

Amazing food and staff are very welcoming

We had a lovely meal the waitress was good and food was delicious and homemade.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were nice but dissapointed paying 5 pounds for a tiramasu that was dry and tasted like the cream had gone off

Excellent meal! And very accommodating for our large group (7 adults and 6 kids). Food was delicious.

Poorly maintained and evidence of poor horticultural practices. Will not be returning

Nice pub, great staff, food decent, smaller portions than it used to be

Stayed here this weekend ,i couldnt recommend it enough ,immaculate,has everything you need ,lovely on site coffee bar and restaurant ,the staff all went that extra mile ,perfect

Another lovely meal cooked to perfection at The pub and kitchen. Staff are very pleasant and helpful and the pub has a warm cosy atmosphere with great music

This was fabulous. My pancake stack was superb - the pancakes are light and fluffy and extremely delicious. The full English was equally as good. Add in the friendly service and warm “everyone’s welcome” vibe and you have the perfect Friday breakfast experience

Great meal large portions pleasant staff good value

Everything was great, the food and the staff were lovely,slight negatives,it's a little overpriced and a portion of chips is about 12 chips for over £3, definitely be back again

Visited on a Saturday evening with a larger family group for a special occasion. The restaurant were happy to allow us to pre-deliver balloons and a table runner as a surprise, which were set up perfectly for our arrival. The service was fantastic and the waitresses so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for the little extra touches. There was so much to choose from on the menu, what I ordered was so delicious, but it was hard to choose! Everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed their meal and all but 1 had desert, which shows how much we were enjoying ourselves! I would definitely recommend Valentines and look forward to returning again soon.
