The best restaurants in County Durham North East

Lovely friendly pub. Made very welcome. Didn’t stop for food only drinks but would like to go back. Staff very helpful and welcoming.

¡Evite a toda costa! Esta es probablemente una de las experiencias de comida para llevar más horrible de la historia. La comida sabía horrible y dejé casi todo mi plato al igual que mi pareja. Pido vermicelli de pollo y esto vino con dos rollos de primavera fritos enormes. ¡El pollo se parecía más al pato que se había congelado! La salsa para mojar no sabía bien y la salsa de chile tampoco estaba buena. En realidad pensé en recuperar la comida y tratar de recuperar mi dinero.

Great pub, lovely landlord, great beer & cider plus home made pizzas. Great beer garden over a very, very quiet road. What's not to like?

A family of 20 booked in here for a birthday meal,to make it easier we pre booked food, service was very good & food also very good. My only complaint would be that there were too many tables squeezed into small area,we were that close to back wall people had to crawl under table to go to loo.

Nice people cosy pub. Thanks girls

Paninis soft like bread. No crispness at all. No side salad or crisps apparently due to waste. You can pay for it though. Soft panini looked very sad on its own (and expensive). Surely you could ask customer when they order if they want side salad, then it wouldn’t be a waste !!!!

What an amazing find! Others had wonderfully generously filled breakfast rolls and I had the best scones EVER, one savoury, one sweet. Such friendly service too, What's not to like!?

Excellent atmosphere if you like thinks old. This place dates back to 1690. Quiet location with good car parking. Good food. We had a salad and a pasta that went well together for sharing!

The food is always outstanding and always great quality!! The staff in there are the friendliest people you could meet! Come here regular and never disappointed

Everything I've tried has been 10/10! The Cheesecakes are the best of the best. Strongly recommended.

A lovely place to stop for a light snack or tea and cake. Good value, charming staff and exceptionally clean. Plus some lovely characters for people watching 🙂.

Went for Sunday lunch carvery and can honesty say was the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had, 4 choices of meat and all fresh Veg even Had my favourite mushy peas. Busy place but very well organised. Will definitely return 10/10 can’t be beaten Thank you

1ST Kebab, was full and lush 2nd one was a lot less amount and 3rd one tonight was terrible,she put a table spoon of salad red and white cabbage and 2 small halves of cucumber on it.what a greedy woman she is. i won't return i've given them a few chances to be fair with the customer. i asked her if she could mange a bit more salad, she replied i would have to charge you a £1 for it. I came home ate the tiny kebab which cost me £7.40p and had to order food from somewhere else as i was still very hungry after eating the measly little kebab.Get your act together GOLDEN FRY.

The best takeaway in the north east!!! Great service and the food quality is amazing. The staff are always friendly!

Worst Sunday lunch I've ever had me and the wife got the small dinner £8.95 and by god it was small next to no meat my son got the large £12.95 and his was not much better, never again!
