This was a small hotel that we popped into to have a drink an get in from the. The Lady in receptionist recognised my friend and was welcoming. Apparently the breakfast was very good. The decor created a really welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely and by far the worst food and service I’ve ever had in my lifeWe waited 10 mins to be seated in a virtually empty restaurant ? Then another 20 mins beforeour smirking waiter bothered to come over for our drinks order … More

I had no clue that this was here in Durham! Now that we have found it and visited it we definitely be back. Set in The Townhouse hotel the decor is very much on trend. The menu is a proper smokehouse menu. We opted for the smokers platter … More

Absolutely and by far the worst food and service I’ve ever had in my life,
We waited 10 mins to be seated in a virtually empty restaurant ? Then another 20 mins before our smirking waiter bothered to come over for our drinks order, and this was only after my wife had to go to the hotel reception to find the waiter who was sitting chatting to another employee.
In hindsight we should have just walked out right then.
The food was awful, mine in particular had clearly sat under a heat lamp for a long time, the sauce had a thick skin on it and everything was very very very dry.
We dine out in Durham regularly and have tried most places but this one is now scrubbed from our list
If you want to see how not to run a business it’s worth a visit.

Came here on Saturday for a friendly meet up meal with two families for a Christmas meet up. Spent £134, and left about £90 worth of it. Wings were pink. Ribs were rubber. Horrific. Side portions were meagre yet paid over the top. Still getting it in the neck from the wives as to how this was a ruined day. Please avoid. £6.50 for potato skins. Was expecting loaded skins for this price. No. Five slivers of skins. I hope this place gets in touch as we were too embarrassed to complain at the time.

I had no clue that this was here in Durham! Now that we have found it and visited it, we definitely be back. Set in The Townhouse hotel, the decor is very much on trend. The menu is a proper smokehouse menu. We opted for the smokers platter and it was excellent. Every bit of the dish was eaten. We had it for 2 adults and 1 child and it was enough. Had the longhorns lager and this was very good. Deserts, 4 options and all very good. Reasonably priced for the total price. If you are in Durham, it’s a bit off the beaten track but if you find it, you won’t be disappointed. I would highly recommend a visit.
