"I’m not sure where to start with this. I’ve been here a couple of times in the past so thought nothing of booking it for a Christmas meal. There seemed to be some confusion when we arrived with a member of staff saying something about putting tables together (downstairs) which was strange as we’d booked a table. Then someone came to direct us to a table upstairs. It was toasty warm when arrived and I would recommend if this is the case when you visit that you don’t do anything silly like taking your coat or jumper off as later on ALL the heating will go off. The waitress seemed to have amnesia and completely forgot one of the drinks orders. When serving another table she said “I’ll write it down” as though this was a revolutionary idea. The lady delivering the food looked like a she wasn’t quite there and she seemed to have real difficulty holding the plates and setting them down. This confused me as it seemed to be a core part of her job. The food was a mixed bag. Some of the Tapas was very good and part of our party was very happy. Unfortunately one of the vegetarian dishes was so salty that two of our party couldn’t eat it. Whilst they were offered an alternative they’d already had some Tapas so fortunately were full enough. I mention this because the table behind us had also had problems and were given some free drinks to make up for it. It was they who first complained about it being cold and that the heating had gone off. To be clear it wasn’t that the heating had simply gone off rather the sockets which they were plugged into had been turned off. There was apparently no way to turn it on again. This happened relatively early in the evening and it seemed bizarre as presumably providing some heat when the weather is cold would encourage people to stay and perhaps order more drinks. I don’t understand their business plan. The other table opted to go downstairs but we were made of sterner stuff and stayed upstairs. I liked the fact that they had a set menu as well as Tapas and you could mix and match the two however I felt it was apparent that they’re not getting the basics right. When the Tapas arrived they came very quickly to ask about the next course yet when we ordered drinks the order was completely forgotten and we had to remind the waitress that we had ordered them with her. Anywhere else you dine out seems to know the order of things so not sure why it was beyond them to be on hand but not intrusive like everywhere else manages. Overall it’s a shame as this is in a great location and I’ve not been disappointed in the past. I see lots of positive reviews but none seem to be recent so I don’t know if this place has changed hands or is staff have changed. As I say it really is a shame as it could be great, as it was on previous visits. A good reputation is easily lost so they need to understand what’s going wrong and act to improve on it."

"managed to get a wellie bar table one Friday evening. Service was A1 from all serving and bar staff, yes the food is a little more pricey than your standard pub food, but the food is many levels above standard in terms flavour and quality. lots of gluten free choice and the information provided was extremely detailed leaving us feeling special and not like GF awkward customers would advise to book, to avoid disappointment. its also dog friendly, and dogs will love the dog treats, I was tempted to trying myself they looked so good Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I placed a large order for my workplace today, we spent well over £100. i would not recommend to anyone looking for a new place, cheap soggy chips, and other food over priced for portion size, its a real shame as the flatbreads seemed to be okay, but let down by the chips. majority of the orders were chicken/beef burgers which were extremely disappointing, we will not be placing a second order, which is a shame as we regularly spend over £100 every Friday."

"I have learned from experience that dining alone in a restaurant is usually not ideal. However, on a warm evening with many people sitting outside at the neighboring bars, the restaurant was completely empty when I arrived. Despite this, I had something to read and am accustomed to dining alone. I ordered one of the special dishes and aside from being reasonably priced, I found it lacking in flavor. The dish had a lot of food but did not have much taste, only a hint of spice that was reminiscent of packaged curry powder from the 1970s. The ambiance was challenging, especially with the unhelpful sound system playing Indian-style music that abruptly changed tunes every few minutes. Additionally, a man came in and engaged in a loud conversation with one of the staff, which was distracting. Although this may not have been the restaurant's fault, it added to the unpleasant atmosphere. If it were not for the affordable prices, I would only give this restaurant one star. Despite frequenting Darlington often, I do not plan on returning to this establishment."

"Friends took us here on Saturday night for the first time, they had been several times before. First time for us. We were a bit early, about 6.15pm. Not a problem, got taken upstairs to our table. Quite well laid out, very spacious. The waitress we got was fantastic, I can’t recall her name, young blonde lady with glasses, she just couldn’t of been any better, she is a credit to that restaurant. Such a polite, professional, funny, charismatic young lady. Really good menu, I had squid for starters, I was expecting a few rings as usual in most places, but you got a set of tentacles which I prefer over rings, and good thick rings with a lemon mayo. Absolutely delicious. I chose the ‘cor blimey’ pizza which was spicy melting Italian sausage and chilli. Hands down the best pizza I have had in this country, and I am quite picky when it comes to pizza. I did get to sample friends pizza, goats cheese and red onion, which was delicious, I can’t remember what the other two were. The mix of that quality of food with the excellent service was so refreshing. Really good atmosphere due to the staff. I’m sure all the other staff were equally good, I can only comment on the one we had. She also shared the story of the owners journey which was very interesting. Great experience all round really. It was also very refreshing as a person with full neck tattoos not to be stared at or treat differently by staff, as is often the case with visiting restaurants. I would like to thank the owner and the waitress for a great night . It is often very easy to leave very harsh and critical reviews, sometimes unfairly. I think it is as equally important to give praise in as much detail. I will definitely be a regular from now on here, and would highly recommend it to anyone. I couldn’t fault anything about the whole experience. Oh, nearly forgot to mention the chips. Try the stable hearth secret ingredient home made chips !!!!!!"

"Great food, friendly service and excellent value. After visiting the theatre on a Friday night we found that this was the only restaurant still open in the area (it was only 10pm). The staff were very friendly, the food arrived relatively quickly, and was delicious. All the staff seemed very friendly and keen to make us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend."

"be a few times now, they love the deluxe hot chocolate, although it is a bit expensive. the cheeks are also very beautiful. I ordered the breakfast last time that we were there and doubled (eye bigger than bauch) it was hard to eat there. it was all stacked on a normal dish. we sat on a small table and there was hardly any space to put the drinks and teller. the crates in which they bring the best are a bit of a waste of time to be honest. you could say, unless someone has to put the serviettes in and the ones in, so it would be easy to bring the cutlery and serviette in? my only little critique, if ever that every time we were in the teamworkers, seem to huddle up and chat with each other quite a lot and the service is very slow. Last time I ordered my hot chocolate, I asked her without marshmallows, she came with them and I told the young man I had ordered without her. he never offered a new one, just said, huh? I never had a damper, but it found a bit rude not even to offer to roast it. next time I order one when it comes to them, it will be back!"

"Come in today to watch the football 14.01.23 and the bar maid was amazing. Absolutely first class and busy all afternoon with a huge smile of her face. Good job though as the bar man working with her kept disappearing and did nothing leaving her on her own to serve, collect glasses and change barrels. The pub lost at least four groups of customers due to the wait totally down to him disappearing and doing nothing! He ought to be ashamed as he is taking money for nothing and she ought to be paid more!"

"I recently visited this restaurant on the recommendation of my brother and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The service was excellent, the ambiance was great, and the food was cooked to perfection. It was definitely great value for money and it's no surprise why this place is so popular. I highly recommend trying the Wandering Duck Full English breakfast. Overall, I would give this place a 5-star rating for food, service, and atmosphere. The price per person typically range from £10 to £20 for a meal."

"We actually booked this hotel in the beginning of November, because it was my husband 's birthday. Fair enough, we got a complimentary up grade on the accommodation. However, I had sent the hotel a couple of emails asking about menu choices. I received an email probably just before the final menu was to be printed, because the copy that I had received was still in pdf. format but was told that besides the Valentines menu, the normal full ala carte menu would be available too. It was that menu that I was looking forward too! We checked into the hotel approximately 6pm, my husband unpacked the car then went down stairs to mention to the restaurant that there would infact just be the two of us dining later. The gentlemen that appeared to be in charge pointed out to me that it was in fact just the Valentines menu that was available, I then mentioned that I was under the impression that the ala carte menu was available to. He then replied NO.... it 's just that one Needless to say I was disappointed. By this time we felt it was too late in the day to do or go anywhere else, therefore we decided to still eat in the restaurant. We came downstairs about 7-30ish to have a drink at the bar with only two tables in the restaurant having dinner it appeared to be really really quite that night. We were barely at the bar for 5 minutes when the young girl had asked us if we would like to be seated at our table. We felt obliged to say yes. We sat down and pointed out to her that we had already decided what we would like. I went to the toilet and when I returned, I was lost for words because the starters were already on the table. We had both opted for the game terrine with toasted brioche, only two pieces of brioche with no butter. My wife went to look for the supervisor person to ask for some butter, when he returned with the butter I then asked for some more brioche, he returned seconds later with a basket of bread rolls that had been put in the microwave and told me there was no"

"This used to be a reliable spot for good food, a town favorite. However, our recent visit did not live up to the restaurant's previous reputation. The venue felt worn-out and neglected, and the staff seemed disinterested. The food quality had declined, likely due to a menu that was too extensive to maintain quality. The beef bourguignon was a disappointment, as were the bland and unappetizing vegetables on the side. The portions had increased, but at the expense of quality. We may give it another chance for nostalgia's sake, but we hope the owners realize the potential of their establishment and return it to its former glory. Right now, it feels a long way from being the town's best lunch spot."

"Came for a bite during a shopping trip. Partners calzone was so big it turned heads lol! And it was awesome. Youngest had carbonara which she enjoyed. I had a Parma pasta combo. My Parmo was really really good and I love the chips. I didn’t enjoy the pasta as much as last time, it was very peppery (I’ve had it better before) I still enjoyed it. Our starters were good too. Just take care with understanding the specials, I’d misunderstood that my starter was not included whilst the others at the table were. When I questioned the bill at the end I was met with real attitude. Comments such as well the order is clear, if you were unsure you should have asked, really aren’t helpful when I didn’t know at the time I’d misunderstood the offer. I did not appreciate the comment, well it’s on £1.25 (Or so) different when actually it was nearer £5. This just put a bit of a dampener on our experience, there was no need to be so rude."

"Impeccable food here. Went for Sunday lunch and had the belly pork, with some pigs in blankets on the side. The portions were fantastic and the price was very affordable. The belly pork was beautifully done and full of flavour. The staff were very friendly and accommodating (we were being a tad difficult) and it was a wonderful atmosphere. We sat outside due to it being a very nice day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I would highly recommend as it was the best Sunday lunch I have had in years."

"The Mustard Tree is a community cafe situated in the Methodist church on the main road in the village centre. We actually almost drove past as, because of the lighting, it looked shut. This must be a recognised problem because they have a sign outside asking you to come in because “we are open!” Fortunately, eagle-eyed Mrs H spotted the sign. The village of Hurworth is utterly charming and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere with a mix of clientele, some people coming for lunch while others meet for a chat or to catch up with some stuff on their laptops. We just had tea, coffee and scones, all of which were top notch, as was the service. This is a lovely place and, having marked it on the car map (I’m old fashioned sometimes! we will certainly return whenever we are in the area."

"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 staff was friendly and attentive, and we really couldn't find any fault with our experience – it felt very special! We will definitely return on our next visit. Are they planning to expand to Scotland?"

"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."
