Popped over for lunch after a walk at Gibside, the Sunday roast was excellent (and with more meat options than the usual Sunday dinner elsewhere). The service was top notch too, I am definitely going back and taking my family too.Food & drinks: The Sunday roast is highly recommended.

First visit here for an evening meal with my wife. Quite a large place in a nice setting with plenty of outdoor seating. We were seated quickly to our pre-booked table and our drinks order taken whilst we viewed the menu. I ordered steak and ale pie with chips,peas and gravy, my wife, ribs and belly pork with fries.Food arrived quickly, I thoroughly enjoyed my pie n chips but my wife's ribs/belly pork and fries were a little underwhelming. Unfortunately it went downhill with the service from here as nobody bothered to ask if our meal was OK or if we would like any more drinks. I eventually caught the attention of another server and ordered another drink and asked for the dessert menu. Over 5 minutes later we were still waiting, I eventually got the attention of our first server and told her we were still waiting for our drink/dessert menu. She promptly brought these and we both ordered sticky toffee pudding which was delicious. I will probably try here again at a later date and hopefully my experience will be better. ?

Food was excellent but there was NO Disabled parking although there was a ramp for disabled access to the premises whicj I thought was rather pointless.

This is a very nice food lead pub. It's got a very cosy atmosphere with a couple of wood burning stoves making it toasty warm. A very pleasant change for these days. The food is nicely cooked and presented. There isn't a fantastic choice of drinks for anyone who likes a pint, with no real ales at all. What they do have is a quite unpleasant stout, (not Guinness) and a couple of craft beers. Not trying to be a drinkers pub. Accommodation wise, there are 5 "suites"! However, the room that I stayed in would struggle to be called a double room, it was tiny. My suitcase had to be closed up and stood upright at the side of the bed, it was that small. This place is also not meant for staying away on business, as the breakfast wasn't served until 9am until 10am, meaning I had to miss my breakfast on the first morning. I did have breakfast on the second morning and it was very nice. Also, "we don't have the facility to charge food or drink to your room", meaning you had to pay for everything as you went. All in all, a pleasant visit, but not good for business travel.

Went for a meal for a friends birthday. Burger was over cooked. Service was ok but one of the managers was a bit rude and the whole place closed at 10pm! What?s that about? The staff were hovering over us to leave it was so uncomfortable. Won?t be recommending to anyone.

Absolutely awful! Walked in thinking how beautiful it looked. Came for my son's 1st birthday for lunch. Ordered the steak pie and my husband and son had the fish. I couldn't eat the pie. It tasted like mature stale cheese. I can't have cheese so asked if there was cheese in it as the menu didn't mention it. The waiter said that he didn't think so but would do check and ask. He never came back and avoided us after that. The fish smelt and tasted very fishy. We came away feeling ill. My son vomited a few times and he was poorly for the rest of the day. My husband was the same. Thank you for spoiling his first birthday! What a waste of £54! Didnt even get the ice cream we paid for either! Definitely avoid!

Visited here on a business night, however it's always my go to place. Amazing service, amazing food and great atmosphere. Slightly out the way but it just adds the charm to it. Definitely worth a visit if you've never been before.
