The Garden House Inn

We received a very warm welcome, which included a friendly acknowledgment of us and our two dogs. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! This is definitely a top-notch pub.

The food was incredible, and the triple-cooked chips were delightful as well. We were expertly attended to by Perle and the team. The atmosphere was lovely, and the home-cooked meals were delicious.

FOOD! It's a great pub. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the food is the star here. The beautiful cook knows her stuff! Try the buttermilk pork belly with maple and apple sauce and bubble squeeze. It is the best main course you will find in Durham now!

Lovely quirky pub, staff very friendly, we stayed over, room needed attention, especially the en suite, toilet wouldn't flush, shower head missing, no breakfast, we found out in the morning that the place was closing and we were the last guests, another covid hit business

Good choice of food on the menu. We only paid £47.00 for four meals, all of which were hot and delicious. The beer was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. The only downside was that it was difficult for my disabled friend to manage the few stairs to and from the ladies.

great cozy pub! park directly in the evening free, or close to closed dli free of charge. very stylish decoration, the new life for the vintage furniture, but not looking shabby. the personal is very helpful. they can have their favorite drinks, alcoholic or only very good quality tea. I haven't tried to eat yet, but I'll be soon. love this place!

Staff are really friendly, but it was like doing a shop at iceland food wise. Everything is clearly cooked from packaged frozen goods. Lovely place to call for a drink, but the food is pretty terrible. Shame as it used to be really fresh, professional chef style menu food. Obviously been taken over reasonably recently by tight new owners that don't care about quality food

Was recently served the worst pint of Guinness I’ve ever had. Sent it back 3 times and ended up giving in and just drinking it. Also charged £3.00 for a kids blackcurrant and water. Have been coming here for years and had some memorable times, including our sons Christening party but, to see it decline like this is very sad. Won’t be making much of an effort to go again, in the future, which is a real shame

Sooooo I noticed that the pub was open in passing in the middle of last week. Wondered down on Saturday for a look. I think its fair to say that there have been some changes and the menu was pretty comprehensive as well. The pub was warm (not always the case previously) and the food we had was not bad (Rump steak/All day breakfast). As with anything new the staff were still getting up to speed but it has potential and therefore I will watch how it develops once it gets more custom.
