"We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant last night with great service for our group of 16. We were there for a family birthday celebration and tried a variety of dishes including steak fondues, mixed grills, rib eyes, and chick n mix platters, as well as burgers for the kids. Despite running out of chicken bites, the staff informed us beforehand and we had no trouble finding alternatives on the menu. The rib eye steak was especially delicious, the best I've had in a long time! We returned the next night to see if the food was consistently great, and we were not disappointed. The service was fast and attentive, and it was nice to see that the restaurant has become more family-friendly again. We want to thank John for the fantastic meal and look forward to coming back soon."

"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)."

"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."

"This was another good visit. The chef doing the carving and Sophie our waitress were both excellent. The chef was very engaging and chatted to everyone in a friendly and individual way: a real talent. Sophie was engaging and attentive but not false. Everything was done timely and comfortably. So professional and hard working but made it look easy. Of course the food was as good as it always is. The meat was good as always with a good choice, however the real star was the roast tates. But the rest of the veg , gravy and Yorkshire pudding was tasty, hot and freshly cooked. A real pleasure."

"Best-kept culinary secret in the darlingtown. santorini cafe restaurant in 44 tubwell row is our popular place to eat in the city because the owner and chef, georgios latousakis, the best ingredients and prepares to eat with passion and love. here is exceptional Greek cuisine brought to another level; his attention to detail and perfectionism are in every court he creates. his baby back ribs are baked 7 hours at low temperature, the delicate, juicy meat falls off the bone. his latest creation is a “parmo” but not as they know it. for those outside the northeast is “parmo” a bastardization of chicken parmigiana) the meat is marinated 12 hours and georgios used perfect béchamel and the cheese of their choice, in nevs fall last night it was a 3 year old stylton. instead of frying twice, it is often finished for a lighter, healthier plate. moussaka, a frequently disappointing dish in other restaurants, surpasses all expectations, along with hearty consistency that melts aromen together. georgios makes his own brot, including a painful sourded. he knows the breeder of his organic rice, personally, as well as the builders who delivers the award-winning eggs for his high-caffeinated and homemade tiramisu. his new offer is a yogurt-prepared avenue Slave instead of the at least much used in Great Britain) mayo and as a fan of Slav I know that it is a hit. georgios has worked in a three star michelin restaurant in london and has been selected three years in a series best foreign cook in peking “An eternal pot” is china’s ultimate cooking price.) the unpretentious dining room has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, reminding of a sea taverne on a Greek island. georgios is a warm-hearted host who quickly shares his enthusiasm for eating. make sure to become hungry because the portions are generous and real value for money."

"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!"

"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."

"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"

"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."

"My second visit to The spotted dog. Family of 6 adults, attentive staff lovely atmosphere. Food very good especially the mains. However a bit disappointed by the shortage of vegetarian options. Just one starter hummus and two mains one of the pies of the day was a cheese potato pie and a butternut squash goats cheese risotto. I had the risotto and it was delicious, my daughter daughter in law had the pie which they also enjoyed. None of us are vegans but there was nothing vegan listed on the menu, although I’m sure if we’d asked something would have been offered. But a shame not on main menu. Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will be back. But if coming with vegan friends would ring first to check options."

"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."

"We visited for lunch and because of as misunderstanding had not ordered the fed stove menu as we had hoped. The staff were exceptionally helpful and we managed to get the meal we wanted. The meal was delicious, especially the turkey and we highly recommend it. It was great that the festive meal was also available for children and our one year old loved it. Highly recommended"

"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!! "

"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."

"Went with some friends for an evening meal. There was some issue about us getting a table although the dining area was almost empty. We were given a table in the end and the food was good. There were NO vegetarian options on the blackboard and we had to ask and they made a pasta dish. I hate having to ask for vegetarian meals as it makes you feel awkward and a ‘special case’. A good range of beers and cask ales. Decor a bit overwhelming, every space filled with stuff. I would hesitate to go back here due to the initial resistance to our wanting to eat even though it was only 6:30pm and they advertise food service until 8pm."

"I made a reservation at Oswalds for my grandmother's 90th birthday with 16 guests. The initial communication via email and phone was good, but we were placed in a private room despite requesting a non-private room. We were expecting to be seated in the conservatory, which was my grandmother's preference. Unfortunately, some guests couldn't attend due to Covid, and we were overcharged for the extra meals that were canceled in advance. It took weeks of following up to get a refund. Apart from the money issue, the lack of customer service was disappointing. The events team was responsive, but the waiting staff on the day seemed unhappy, and the management was unhelpful and lacked knowledge of the situation. They offered no apologies and came across as uncaring. Good customer service and friendliness cost nothing, so it's a shame that this experience was not more positive. I won't be booking any future events at the Hallgarth or recommending it to others."

"Where shall I start, was fairly busy seated within 10 minutes. Food came out 1 of the very large breakfasts and 1 big breakfast. I asked for no beans on the big breakfast it came out with beans, the sausage was tasteless and very cheap....They came out and said sorry there is no tomato and no black pudding...........excuse me but there is one of your shops right next to the cafe! Was only after hubby had half eaten his large breakfast he realised there was 3 hash browns missing as well. Mind you mine were soggy and stuck together. Everything was shocking not even worth the government scheme price!"
