Service

Visited Durham for a super historical weekend. Didn&rsquo;t dream we would eat in such an amazing restaurant too. The food would grace any Michelin starred table. Great taste and presentation throughout the 7 course tasting menu. (We added another to the 6 😋) wines and service exceptional too.

Had Sunday roast. Good choice of meats, excellent portions.  Very tasty. Nice dessert menu too. Best to book as was quite busy

There was a good atmosphere.  The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was great service and the food was lovely. Will definitely go back.

We sat down and waited ages for our order to be taken and they finally came for our food order to then realise we had been sat all thos rime not been asked to orderna drink.  Starters were OK. Mains pizzas x3 had hardly any cheese and were dry. Pasta x 4 2 of which were carbonarra both of our party members said it was tasteless.  One carbonarra was forgotten and the table had half eaten their meals by the time it was ready.  When the missing meal was ready we sat looking at it waiting to be collected and brought to the table.  We went and fot it ourselves. 10 mins later we finally saw somone to request black pepper to Tey to add some flavour. Service was dire and it was by no means busy.  There was onenl cook, one barstaff, ine waiting staff and somone who seemed to be in charge and didn&#39;t seem to be very organised. There was no atmosphere and it was cold.  Our birthday cake was brought out and then we had to hunt for Starr again to ask for side plates.  All told it was overpriced even with our nhs discount. No atmosphere. Tastless and service dreadful.  We wont be going back.

The restaurant has a great ambiance, perfect for a night out. The lamb shank was to die for, and the overall experience was delightful.
