Every thing about our night out was great until they brought the bill...i know things have a service charge but to stand there and say you don't have to pay it if you dont want kinda puts you on the spot a bit ,but our service charge was £7 (which i didnt pay by the way ) as£7 pounds for carring 2 plates is a bit high and if service charge wasnt on the bill we would have left a tip at our discretion...as we are pensioners and i felt for the group of8 students opposite whose bill was over £200 pound making that £20...im just glad we did not order a bottle of champagne at £100 as that would have been another £10for carring it to the table .......bit naughty Lucias

A very comfortable restaurant. It has character in all aspects and charm which is lacking in so many restaurants. I've given 5 stars in all areas so there's not much to say. I was with a party who had all been before. It's one I wish to return to. It's a place you know will be reliable and deliver every time you go.

Nestled in a secluded area near Barnard Castle, this restaurant offered a dining experience that was almost flawless. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, and our choices for the evening were both diverse and delightful. The steak frites was an undeniable highlight—cooked to perfection with a crispy, golden portion of fries that complemented the tender, flavorful steak beautifully. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. Equally impressive was the chicken parmo, which came with a perfectly breaded coating and a rich, cheesy topping. It was indulgent, comforting, and utterly satisfying. The focaccia bread was a lovely nibble—warm, fragrant, and with just the right balance of crusty exterior and soft, airy interior. It added a rustic charm to the meal and was excellent for dipping into the accompanied red pepper hummus. The service was another highlight of the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a memorable experience. From thoughtful recommendations to impeccable timing, they added a personal touch that elevated the meal. Unfortunately, the dessert left us slightly underwhelmed. The pineapple tart, while visually stunning, was overly tart and carried a surprising hint of spice that felt too overpowering for our tastes. While creative, it lacked the balance we were hoping for in a sweet finale. Overall, this restaurant impressed us with its savory dishes and exceptional service, but the dessert could use some refinement to match the excellence of the earlier courses. A strong 4/5, and we would happily return for another meal—just maybe not for the pineapple tart.

The food was delicious and the team created a lovely atmosphere

Modern English food, carefully prepared and presented. The oak- panelled and candle-lit dining room provides a great atmosphere
