TheForkUserVisited Durham for a super historical weekend. Didn’t dream we would eat in such an amazing restaurant too. The food would grace any Michelin starred table. Great taste and presentation throughout the 7 course tasting menu. (We added another to the 6 😋) wines and service exceptional too.

TheForkUserChanges noticed this week (different to last week) - the Yorkshire puddings have improved; the size of the meat portion has reduced and the gravy was lumpy. Overall the meal was good despite the former comments. Regrettably, the ambience was spoiled by some very noisy children but the service and staff were courteous and polite.

TheForkUserReally enjoyed our Sunday lunch the 2 generous slices of beef melted in the mouth, carrots,peas, mash potato, roasters, cauliflower cheese, semi crisped kale (not like crispy sea weed ) and a delicious gravy absolutely gorgeous, oh had a very nice prawn cocktail to start, a great pint and an Irish coffee to finish , staff attentive friendly no fuss and very prompt service definitely recommend , I normally prefer the wife’s Sunday roast , but will make a point of stopping here again ????(even this review doesn’t do it justice)

_TI***2kThe pizza at this restaurant is light, thin, and crispy, making it a great choice. The mussels with spicy sauce were also a hit, and the fries were lovely and crispy. Plus, the 20% discount promotion for weekdays is a fantastic deal!
