"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."

"We Walked through the doors and was greeted by lovely staff and especially a lovely young women called Sarah. A great atmosphere! Ordered our food with ease and was surprised by how quick our drinks followed, in moderate time our food arrived and we were not disappointed, chicken was juicy and full of flavour. The portions were great aswell, definitely left with a full stomach, overall the service was amazing and would definitely visit this spot again"

"The owners seem to operate this small café. It is well presented although I would have preferred it to have been a little warmerA good selection of snack bar style food. Where appropriate, served nice and hot. Whilst we had tea, there seemed to be a small, barista style coffee range.We normally swap out fried bread for plain when having a small A.D. breakfast. On this occasion we forgot... and were rather glad for the memory lapse... expertly executed fried bread, crisp and no sign of excess oil/fat. Still feeling a little guilty however! Diet recommences tomorrow!"

"We ate here earlier today before a trip to the cinema. On arrival there were only another 4 people in the restaurant. We ordered drinks and had a look at the menu. When the waiter came to take our order he announced there were no pizzas as the oven was broken. Surely, he should have told us this when he gave the menus??? We waited ages for our food (a sandwich, lasagne and kids spaghetti Bolognese). My aperol spritz was completely flat. When our food was served, the pasta was served on a rectangular plate (which was really small, completely impractical and difficult for a child to eat spaghetti from). My lasagne was a small portion which I shared with my daughter as the kids spaghetti Bolognese was so spicy with chilli that she could not eat it! The waiter was very pleasant but it didn’t make up for half the menu not being available. The toilets were also absolutely disgusting. The food was just ‘OK’ but we won’t be back. The Italian restaurant over the road was buzzing with people and I can now see why!"

"the food really enjoyed. large selection of burgers and loaded frits. all 4 of our party were very impressed by the burgers. add the loaded frits and they have a very good portion food. table-tennistic and billard tables will mean that this is an unlikely romantic place for two, but a fun night safe. sad service was not brilliant. not terrible, but the chef had to bring the food to the table and didn't seem impressed that he had to do it. Long wait until we got the waiting staff for another drink, so we have a bill and went next door to the pub. overall enjoyed the experience and believe that it had only recently opened. not really an excuse for bad service, but maybe better next time."

"Stopped at Cozy Coffee én route to Barnard Castle and it's a great pit stop. Set in the entrance of a field with beautiful scenery- the coffee bus can be easy to miss, hidden behind hedges with little/no signage on a rural back-road, but it's definately worth putting in your sat nav!... Good mocha, bacon egg roll was good and a slice of very tasty mocha cake went down well!.. friendly lady that will probably do my egg a little runner if I ask, she directed me to the nearest cashpoint and prepared my food while i was gone! Very tidy place with single shed toilet that is surprisingly spacious and extremely clean! Will visit again and again!"

"We stayed overnight and were amazed by the bustling crowd at this restaurant. The selection of dishes was impressive, and the staff even treated my partner to a free milkshake that someone had ordered but never picked up. It tasted fantastic. Thank you for the great experience."

"Fantastic meal at Headlam Hall Hotel. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our meals. The Orangery dining room is a lovely backdrop for the food that was well presented, exceptionally tasty and, unlike many meals out these days, well portioned. The menu certainly lives up to the claim of Modern British cooking using locally sourced ingredients. My Tandoori lamb scotch egg starter was very flavoursome, a great combination... and even had a runny yolk! Both mains (belly pork/fillet of beef) tasted great, and the meats were succulent. My chocolate cheesecake was to die for, and Vanessa's Baked Parkin, salted caramel sauce, brandy snap and black treacle ice cream was a very clever and harmonious combination of flavours. Service was efficient and friendly but not over-obtrusive. All in all, it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Thank you."

"I made a reservation through the app, but upon arriving at the restaurant, I was abruptly informed that my booking was not in the system. Despite showing confirmation, the person who greeted guests was not helpful and only offered a table when prompted. The only available space was in the bar area. The waitresses provided good service, being attentive, polite, and quick. Unfortunately, the food portions and quality did not match the price paid. It's a shame because the location is nice and the pub has a cozy atmosphere."

"Took a visiting friend for evening meal. Booking on line was easy and as we were running a bit late rang to let them know and they kept table for us. Friendly waiting staff who went out of their way to make the evening memorable. Our friend has a specific food intolerance and they ensured all food was acceptable and even arranged for a specific sweet not on the menu to be available. They could not have been more helpful. The food was good and I particularly enjoyed the put lentil lasagne! We enjoyed our trip to the Farmhouse and would recommend it. The place is spacious and felt warm and inviting. Give it a go."

"No disabled access from garage area. STAIRS! Ambience of Kind's Bar was lovely. Not noisy, comfortable heat and nice seating. Staff were unobtrusive, but helpful. The afternoon tea stand was prepared fresh, unfortunately the scones were a little on the dry side and just cream and jam, no butter. We got a special extra. It was my friends birthday and they gave us an extra portion of cake. The cherry macarons were lush, however, the pistachio ones were not so flavourful. Some unusual flavour paring, and colouring, but overall tasty and filling tea. We also had two pots of tea during the afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble for the cheerful and attentive staff. I'm going back. Great value and felt special."

"Sam Turner staff are equally grumpy and disinterested both in the cafe and the attached garden centre. All, without exception, give the feeling to the customers that both they wish you were not there, and they wish they were not there either. In the past I 've been served soup, half a bowl each as I heard a member of staff in the back complaining they were running short and to 'divided it between the bowls. It was watery and tasteless. I asked for a cappuccino and got a flat white served. When I pointed this out, I got the practised 'eye role ', no apology, just I 'll get you another, she 's new... I take it this was referring to the young female yakking away to an equally young and disinterested female while trying to serve me. I am a frequent visitor to the garden centre and this is no better. I 've been chased across a car park accused of not paying for plants and no apology when I produced the receipt, laughed at sarcastically when asking for a particular plant that had been showcased on the Chelsea flower show tv programme, and finally shouted at by a yardman she would never say that ever!!! for having the audacity to ask the price of something, when his colleague behind the till had told me he would help and to go ask him. Horrible place, awful atmosphere, I 've spent hundreds of pounds there in the past will never go back."

"Decided to visit the castle for sunday lunch after visting the bird of prey centre with my young family. Lovely setting however when waiting for someone to show us to our seats I wasnt impressed with her customer service. I can appreciate sundays can be busy but to be told I would have to wait in a not so nice tone im not going to hang around. It costs nothing to be polite no matter how busy you are. I did raise my concerns with the duty manager who was very helpful.But unfortunately I dont think I will ve returning"

"Whilst out having a general run around enjoying the fine weather my wife and i popped into the Piercebridge Farm Cafe following a quick google search.... and wow, so pleased we did. Tucked away in a small corner of a farm yard opposite the church on the green, you'll find this little goldmine. Finding a table and it was the last one as it was clearly popular we ordered our food and drinks. I opted for their BLT, my wife, their warm bacon, butternut squash, beetroot and goats cheese salad with honey and mustard dressing, tea and coffee and to top it all a cheese scone and a slice of their homemade Victoria sandwich cake with fresh cream. The BLT was perfect, fresh lettuce, fresh tomato and some of the tastiest bacon Ive had in a soft brown ciabatta style roll... outstanding. My wife said her salad was the best she'd had and to be fair it looked amazing. Just as my cheese scone arrived and my wife's large slice of cake the owner approached us and asked if we could eat another salad and a full english. A hiccup on the orders meant these were spare and were being offered to anyone who wanted then, rather than waste them. TEMPTED wasn't even close, oh how i wished I had the room to demolish that breakfast, but reluctantly i had to decline, with a tear in my eyes. The spare bacon, butternut squash, beetroot and goats cheese salad was boxed up and gratefully accepted by my wife, who, if she could have slipped a fork away would have eaten it on the way home. My cheese scone was light, fluffy and packed with flavour, and a must for any passing trade. As for the cake... if the Ummms Arghs and more Umms were a clue, id say it was delicious. Both staff and owners were extremely helpful, friendly and certainly made you feel at home. Would we go again... in a heartbeat. And finally, their onsite deli. Packed with fresh locally produced products, frozen meals and fresh meats, yes we paid that a visit to. Oh Thank you to all, we'll be back."

I asked for a window table and safe enough that was requested! the food took a while, but we were not in a hurry. we have more drinks. when the food arrived, it was great and they brought us a bowl of chips that were made delicious at home! these were free due to our waiting time! we're coming back. Thank you."

"We arrived just before our booked time of 8pm. We got our main courses at 9pm making us late for the cinema. Our daughter had to take her pizza in a box to the cinema and then eat it at home afterwards. The noise from the bar and the shouting from the kitchen staff was unacceptable."

"The service at this restaurant is friendly and accommodating. Even though I had never been here before, when I requested creamy cauliflower with my order and was told it wasn't available, one of the workers (I wish I had his name) offered to make something special for me. I was extremely grateful, and the dish he made was the best I've ever had. The rest of the food was also delicious. I would recommend this place in any case."

"Staff were friendly and explained everything about how they are operating due to covid rules. Soft drinks (lemonade) tasted like soda water even after pump was changed so opted for coke. Carvery was nice but amount of meat portion was little and yorkshire puddings not soft like they used to be, very crispy and full of air"
