"Our one-night stay was very good. We traveled from South Yorkshire to visit friends in Spennymoor and decided to stay overnight. The rooms were very nice, albeit a bit small, but perfect for a short stay. They seemed to be newly renovated as the bathroom fittings, large TV, and decor were all up to date. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced for the quality. The bar was also great, with a large TV and two more showing sports. It was quite busy on a Saturday night, but all the locals were friendly and there was a good, safe atmosphere. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area."

"Fantastic Sunday Lunch. Portion size was incredible. After getting off at wrong bus stop we nipped in the Daleside Arms because we thought we would have ages to walk they were quite rude in manner of telling us we have book. It's just as well because we set out to go to the Green Tree right from the word Go!!. We ended up getting here later than planned as we had walk bit further. But the Staff were great and bent over backwards squeeze us in. It was towards end of Sunday Lunch but they checked with Kitchen and made us feel like it was not a problem. We had a Child and baby who was flat out in pushchair. Sunday lunch was Fantastic and portion size was super. Staff helpful attentive and friendly and after reading good reviews on Google I set out try somewhere new and it was well worth it. Thank you for your help and Kindness we will recommend you to all the friends family and we will be back."

"I visited this restaurant for the first time since lockdown and was pleased to discover they had a new vegan menu. I later learned that the main menu also had more vegan options available. I have tried the chili from the vegan menu and the vegan chicken fajitas from the main menu so far. My cousin also ordered the vegan fajita bowl. I also indulged in their vegan brownie with ice cream, which was one of the best I have ever had. Overall, a great dining experience."

"I discovered Pedros about 3 years ago a few weeks before I moved away from spennymoor. We really enjoyed our food, and when we moved we would joke saying that we missed pedros and said that it was sad that none of the local takeaways were as good. Today, I had to return to spennymoor to visit a family member so we thought that we should visit pedros for a quick bite to eat. We drove for 20 minutes trying to call but there was never an answer. After finally getting to pedros there was two customers in (current maximum due to COVID) and neither of them were wearing a mask. After standing inside for about 10 minutes, one of the three girls at the front finally asked, what my order was ... I told her I hadn’t even ordered yet!!! Then once I ordered I paid, already disappointed at the service already, she then tells me that it’s cash only. Great during a pandemic when everyone is asking to pay contactless. No excuse really, not in this day and age. Clearly there’s a reason that they don’t accept card! Then it gets better ... after paying and she gives me my change ... she THEN tells me it’s over half an hour for the food. What a joke. I walked back to my partner in the car and told him and he said that we should just get our money back ... at this point there was a queue out the door for people to be served. I am so disappointed in the service. If it’s going to be 30 minutes for food when you go in and order that’s just a joke. 30 mins for collection or delivery then fine. Hell I’ll wait longer, no problem. But after calling for 20 minutes, waiting 10 minutes inside to even be spoken to, then to be told it’s 30 minutes for food well after already paying. Also another customer asked if the takeaway had any menus no they did not. What takeaway doesn’t have menus. She told him to look at the Facebook page ... after looking at all three pages on Facebook when driving over to spennymoor, what’s the point in checking their Facebook page because it’s either 2019 or 2016 the last time they updated the page, so you have no hope of that being the correct menu ... oh and guess what, it’s not. The prices are different. What a joke, the three girls working on the 15th of August really need to be spoken to about their customer service. I’ve worked in hospitality for 4 years so I understand what it’s like to work in a busy and high intense environment but the lack of service is disgusting. Here’s to seeing if the food is just as good and sadly, even if it’s super tasty, I still give it a 1 star because of bad service. I won’t be coming back, regardless of taste! Disappointing!"
