Sainsbury's

➤ Victoria Road, Darlington DL1 5SF, United Kingdom

Cafe • Coffee • Brunch • Breakfast

"Went into Sainsbury’s cafe and simply asked for a ham and cheese toastie, I had not been disruptive or rude in anyway, however I was greeted with a very rude, blunt and abrupt attitude from the member of staff serving me. She had a tone in her voice and had quite a lot of attitude even though she barely said anything. The reason she barely said anything is because she was very short and blunt with me, giving me one word answers or not an answer at all. When I went to pay she shoved the card machine across the counter and threw the table number card down onto the counter with attitude. She did not say a single word after this she simply walked away and did not advise me to pick any table I wanted or too take a seat. The service was then very slow as it took 10 minutes simply to toast a pre-made ham and cheese toastie. Then when I did receive the food she proceeded to strut over to my table and throw the plate down onto the opposite side of the table from me, meaning I had to get up and reach over to get my food, even though this takes very little effort it is still bad customer service (especially at £3.85 for a simple ham and cheese toastie that was served luke warm). She also did not inform me as to where any condiments were for my meal. Once she had abruptly ‘placed’ my food on the table she strutted off before I even had the opportunity to say thank you, despite this I still said thank you but her back was turned and she was walking away, and as you can probably guess I got no response. It was a very bad experience and aswell as the poor customer service the toastie wasn’t even that nice."

The Mowden

➤ Staindrop Road, Darlington I-DL3 9BE, United Kingdom

Pub • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

---

"So just got back from The Mowden. Thanks to the lovely team there tonight. We all enjoyed our food. Highlights were, the mussels and chips and the fish and chips. The classic burger was very filling according to the youngest. I had Italian beer and the black sheep ale was delicious according to O.H.then it was pudding. Me and first born shared the brownie which was really lovely. Chris said his brioche bread and butter pudding was very good high praise). We all thought the place has a fab atmosphere as we ate outside and everything was fresh and tasty. We will be back, probably with Arnold �next time. Cheers. Helen Fidell"

Shuttle Loom

➤ Whinfield Road, DL1 3RW, Darlington, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • British • Vegetarian

---

"A warm welcome from customers already sitting who could see that we weren’t sure what the etiquette was regarding getting a seat. We were then told, by a very busy staff member, to select a table and order at the bar which was great as we had time to peruse the very detailed menu; so many delicious options. Once ordered, food was beautifully presented. The chips were perfectly cooked, not limp and greasy and the burgers were very tasty. There is absolutely no rush to eat up and leave and this place has the feeling of a local wee pub/ restaurant as there is no pressure from staff hovering over you but they asked if everything was okay which I took to mean they would have welcomed feedback had it not been okay. We travelled from Scotland for a family visit but will definitely return when next down in Darlington. Hopefully we can sit outside next time weather permitting. (Oh, the place is spotless despite looking a little ‘tired’ in places."

Maxine's

➤ Southend Avenue, Darlington I-DL3 7HZ, United Kingdom

Cakes • British • European • Breakfast

---

"Yet again have had a very enjoyable family birthday lunch here; the staff are attentive and the food is very good. Our party included a couple of vegetarians, one person with specific food requirements, a fussy eater (me! and a number of 'normal ' eaters there is always enough choice for all. I recommend the duck in particular and the salmon salad; apparently the pie of the day was also delicious. Oh, the mango lime and the sour cherry sorbets were a perfect refreshing finish. There was a small disappointment for one of our group where raw onion was not listed but included in every component of the paneer kebab starter, thus they were unable to eat it."

Eastern Bamboo Chinese Darlington

➤ 194 Northgate Teesside, Darlington, DL11QU, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asiatic • Seafood • European

---

"I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, enjoying the delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine. The staff was attentive and courteous, creating a fantastic oriental atmosphere. While the prices were on the higher side, the exceptional quality of the food and service made it more than worth it. Eating here reminded me of Hong Kong and I will definitely be returning in the future."

Papa John's Darlington

➤ 185-187 Northgate, Darlington, DL11UB, DL1 1UB, United Kingdom

Sushi • Pizza • Asiatic • European

---

"Usually go to Dominos, been wondering for ages whether Papa Johns was worth a go. It wasn't.Possibly even pricier than Domino's (but not much in it) pizzas were exactly like those terrible cheap rubbery ones from standard little takeaway. Except twice as expensive of course. Ingredients were barely detectable, the cheese was flat and rubbery and my jaw started to ache after ploughing through the third slice. If I didn't live 15 minutes away I would have taken it back.Oh, in the interest of balance, the little marmite and cheese doughball kind of things were OK.Back to domino's for me that's for sure."

Santorini Greek Cafe

➤ 5 Crown Street, Darlington, United Kingdom

Cafe • Cafés • Greek • Mexican

---

"3 months on and still no heating?? Just come on here to leave a 4/5 review but read previous reviews from December saying the restaurant was cold, well last night is was Baltic ! And to find out the owners haven’t done anything about it since last year is really poor Starters and mains were tasty and good quality and we thought good value money until we were hit with a £9.90 charge for a Greek salad that was a cheap packet salad with some feta thrown on top hugely expensive and strange to charge so much considering their early bird menu is three courses for a tenner ?? Wouldn’t return"

Pizza Perfekt

➤ 9 Brinkburn Road, Darlington, United Kingdom

Meat • Pizza • Chicken • European

---

"I grew up in darlington and that was our regular farewell, I moved out of the area many years ago, but it is still my place when I return. my recent visit was not disappointed! pizza comes with free chips and garlic bread. when they are collected in the load so well worth the money. the garlic bready was a little too sweet for the taste of our cream, but not disappointed about the garlic taste. doner kebab was beautiful, the meat was full of taste, and it came with chips and pitta brot. the Pitta-Brot was kept sepered so it was not fattened as when it is placed in the box. I asked for the salat seperately to be combed and that was done without problems. Chicken parmesan was a little faty, but freshly cooked, and good quality chicken breast. this was also served with chips, and I asked for the salat and coleslaw separated. really good portions, very cheap prices and friendly efficient service. we will come back when we are back in the opposite!"

The Orangery, Rockliffe Hall, Hurworth

➤ HurworthOnTees, Darlington, United Kingdom

Fish • Coffee • Seafood • European

---

"Housed in a spectacular building and furnished to a high standard, the Orangery is a wonderful place to visit. Canapés were very artistic and pleasant to look at, more so to taste. I also normally avoid bread but their bread with two types of hoke made butter was delicious. ‘Sandy Carrot’ starter- visually lovely but taste wise it was over seasoned- way too much salt, as was the consensus by the three of us dining- Wife’s Scallop starter however was a stunner. steak main, I have to say, this was the best steak I’ve had in about 6 years, the previous from the Negresco hotel in Nice. The texture and flavour- I woke up and could eat it for breakfast- well done to the chef who cooked it too as it was perfect. Deconstructed cheesecake for desert and wife chose chocolate orangery- both superb, is it wrong to want seconds? I washed mine down with a desert wine- a passable Sauternes but by no means a Climens or a Yquem (of which they sold the latter). The wine list itself was very good- a lot of classified growth claret, burgundy, north and south Loire, Rhône, super Tuscans and lots of other regions. I love wine, so was in my element here but as so often the case forgo the blue chip wines for something less expensive- I only buy the top notch stuff to drink at home; it’s a shame they don’t use Coravin so I could buy the premier stuff by the glass. Got chatting to the Somm- Derek, and have to say what a very nice man he was. Absolutely knowledgeable and in no way intimidating or pretentious (take a note Raby Hunt) Derek was happy to discuss wine and even gave me some suggestions on wine regions and producers that I would have overlooked. Very good at his job, an asset to this restaurant. Front of house staff- both called Katie I think also fabulous. Overall, a wonderful evening- the only part I was confused about was when paying the bill we were taken into the bar, I didn’t see anywhere I could leave a tip- no option on the card reader and it just seemed wrong to leave cash with a different part of the operation to the restaurant. Finally, a message to Rockliffe Hall. While the food is delicious, if you really want your patrons to have a fine dining experience then perhaps you may want to allocate a smoking area somewhere discreet for your Spa users; When we left and walked towards the car park, there were people standing outside in slippers and dressing gowns smoking- far from looking luxurious, it was reminiscent of walking into the front of a hospital. We’ll be back, thank you kitchen and front of house staff for a wonderful experience."

Three Tuns

➤ Sadberge, DL2 1RX, Darlington, United Kingdom

Pubs • Steak • Pasta • British

---

"Wish I 'd found this place sooner... Located in the quiet village of Sadberge, The Tuns is an ideal excuse to have a drive or even a wander out! Very welcoming staff, warm, clean and cosy atmosphere is a perfect combination for a nice cheeky beverage or 2 by the log burner. The food is delicious and cooked by people who clearly know what they 're doing. It 's refreshing to see a place that changes their 3 course, reasonably priced menu every month, which coincides with what is in season and what is available locally helping the local economy. I 've eaten here many times and never left disappointed. I ordered off the set menu and the Pub Classics menu, which is also a nice touch that you can mix and match dishes to suit you. I had the Korean Belly pork to start which just melted in your mouth and then being from Middlesbrough I had to go for the parmo. And to any of my fellow boro folk reading this, definitely in my top 3 favourite parmos of all time the chicken to bechamel ratio was spot on and I had a pork belly topping which again was so tender it just melted. 10/10"

Macy Browns

➤ Imperial Centre Grange Road, Darlington, United Kingdom, DL1 5NQ

Pub • Wine • Drinks • American

---

"What a disaster! I arrived at Macy Browns on Saturday afternoon after having a table reservation for 2 weeks, only to find that they were closed. Despite receiving multiple emails about my reservation, the restaurant was not open. It was incredibly embarrassing as I had organized a work dinner and drinks. I spoke with the manager over the phone, who was unapologetic and uncaring. Based on other comments I've read, it seems this is a common issue that the manager allows to happen. He blamed the booking system being automated and not human-controlled for the mix-up."

Pizza • Vegan • Vegetarian • Gluten Free

"I dined at this restaurant for lunch and had a fantastic experience. The food was exceptional, earning a solid 5 out of 5, particularly the Spaghetti Carbonara, which I highly recommend. The service was also top-notch, rated 5 out of 5, making me feel welcome and well taken care of throughout my meal. The atmosphere matched the quality of the food and service, receiving another perfect score of 5. With prices ranging from £10 to £20 per person, this place is a great value for a delightful dining experience!"

"We dined here as a group of friends for Christmas fayre. The decor and setting were very Christmassy and well laid out not too crowded or close to other tables. We had the 3 course Christmas fayre. Service was quick. Portion size was excellent for a lunch fayre. This enabled us to eat and fully enjoy all three courses. Food quality was excellent, Tasty and hot food. They catered wonderfully for one vegetarian and one gluten free guest without any hassle. They also catered well for two guests who wanted a cheese board instead of the pudding. First time we have eaten in the restaurant although we stay in the hotel regularly. Will certainly dine here again. Thanks Maxine's for a lovely start to the Christmas season : Only negative for us was the table layout a round or square table instead of a long rectangle would have facilitated better conversation for a group of friends who have not seen each other in a while."

Table Talk Indian Diner

Asian • Balti • Indian • European

"My partner and I have dined at Table Talk twice now, and it has been one of the best Indian meals I have ever had. The food, including vegetable paratha, seek kebab, and my girlfriend's favorite, chicken pakora, was excellent. The service was also top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant - we have also tried their takeout and it was just as good as dining in. It's impressive to see such a great restaurant in a small village. We will definitely continue to dine here."

"Had a really lovely afternoon/early evening here. Staff are extremely professional and diligent. The food is excellent, hot and tasty. Second time here the Sunday lunch was served without any stuffing. We explained to Richard (Mead) and without any fuss and straight away Richard appeared with a small plate of stuffing. The Sunday Lunch and Steak was excellent Welldone the Chef!! Excellent service, responsive and we were felt “that people within this establishment cared”!! Welldone Richard and the rest of the Staff that looked after us. We will be back again…. With the Dog!! "

Best Kebab 2

➤ 69 Skinnergate, DL3 7LL, Darlington, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Kebab • Asiatic

---

"RACIST staff. I asked if there were any promotions prior to ordering. No promotions after 12am . OK fine, no problem. I then proceeded to order a calzone whereby I can chose any four toppings. When I asked the staff to explain the toppings I got asked have you never been to a pizza shop before Ofcourse I have but I haven 't physically seen the toppings so I would like a little guidance please I responded. Then the main guy taking the orders said something along the lines of are you not British/ you don 't know how to speak English I immediately thought to myself. I 'm being victimised because I wanted to know what the toppings were. It wasn 't even that busy. I took my business down the road to speedy pepper No racism there)."

Spice Island Darlington

➤ 90 Surtees St, Darlington, DL36PS, United Kingdom

Sushi • Pizza • Mexican • European

"I order 2 pack of meal deals 1hun tikka masala, pilau reis and an extra simple naan I said it would be 1 hour and 30 minutes this was good, we waited for 2 hours and when it arrived the food. was cold and we had no soaking with our packings and there was a missing naan broth for the kids also no cries After we had read so many great reviews, we were looking forward to trying it, but tbh was it a let down that was bland and tasteless possibly the worst Indian food I have ever experienced and the service was just as bad. I just wish I had little indie with my ordinary Indian takeaway, which never fails. it cost me £35 for 2 packs 1 huhn tikka masala 2 bags of chips 1 pilau reis and popadoms. when I went to the menu and added the price of the food without the packs it on £16.40 meant that I paid almost £10 for the packs alone. I'm sorry, but that ruined mine at night, and I'm never gonna give it back to me."
