Fantastic food, portion was amazing and good value for price, was a bit akward walking in and felt maybe not the correct place to go. How ever once your inside and settled lovely staff amazing food. Was given dog treats and water and the regulars was very welcoming
Good food and service very helpful staff but seats were soaking wet with no signs on to say that they were wet. Never been in when it's been so quiet. Has been busy when visited previously
Really extensive menu, including full vegetarian and vegan menus. Everything was hot and fresh. Delicious!
A nice place. My first time there though. But I like the place especially the conservatory which makes you bask in the sun. Lovely..... The food was good and tastes nice. The atmosphere is serene. Got beautiful and neat environment spacious to accommodate children on the play ground, but you have to monitor them. They have great staffs and beautiful at that they were spot on with delivery of food and courteous. In all they are good. I will be there when next I'm in Darlington, and I recommend 100% if you are within conscliffe, Darlington Keep it up.
Went here for Darlington Restaurant Week having previously been for a pint as part of the Darlington Camra Real Ale Trail. Food was very good with lots of flavour and quality ingredients. Fantastic pint of cask ale. Great value for money. Staff were excellent and the service was perfect. Will definitely return to experience more of the full menu and keen to see what is in the cellar next time around.
