The food is consistently good. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich sauce, perfect with the mash. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Stopped in for a quick lunch during a work trip. My salad arrived in about 10 minutes, still crisp and fresh. The greens tasted so vibrant, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. It was a quiet afternoon, which let me really focus on the quality of the ingredients. Just what I needed.

Decent value for money. The portions are generous and the food was pretty good. Really enjoyed the liver pate starter and the Kiev pizza.

Been coming here for years. That half pizza, half pasta deal is my go-to. The pasta&#39;s always al dente, and the pizza crust has a nice char. Never feel rushed to finish, which is a plus.

The portions are huge, honestly. I could barely finish my pasta. Good value for the quality, though the price felt about right for what you get.

Staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. Good suggestions on both food and drinks. Service was efficient, which I appreciate for a business lunch. No fuss, got the job done.

The &pound;12.50 set menu is a solid deal. The main was a proper pork belly, crispy skin and tender meat. Portion was a touch small, but for the price it&#39;s hard to complain.

Perfect for after a beach stroll. Got the fish and chips, huge portion, and ate it right there with the sea breeze. Just had to keep an eye on the seagulls the whole time!

Been here a few times with mates. The penne vodka with salmon is always spot on - looks great on the table for sharing too. Staff are really polite. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for a catch-up.

Found this place by chance. The owner has such a good sense of humour, really made the whole room smile. Just a nice, easy vibe to have a meal in.

Decent pub, nothing fancy. Popped in for a pint and ended up staying for the live band. The music was actually pretty good, a nice surprise for a random Friday night. Drinks are what you&#39;d expect. Might swing by again if they have a band on.

The staff were really accommodating when I asked about ingredient substitutions. Appreciated being able to customise for my dietary needs.

Been to a fair few Spoons, this one&#39;s up there. The layout&#39;s decent, different levels and a top bit with a sky garden. Food and drink were fine.

Nicola the manager was so on top of things, even with the place being absolutely packed for Valentine&#39;s. My partner&#39;s steak was cooked just right, which was a nice surprise given the rush.

The filter coffee here is a bit hit or miss. Had it last week and it was noticeably weaker than usual, lacked that proper punch. Still drinkable, just not their best brew.

The Belgian beer selection is impressive, but I really appreciated the fresh, crisp salad options on the menu.

A lovely spot to get some work done. The garden out back is a peaceful spot to sit, and the staff are very friendly. My only note is that the chairs could be a bit more comfortable for a longer stay.

The fillet steak is the best in Durham. Ordered it medium rare, and it arrived exactly that way. Tender, good flavour. Prices are fair for what you get.

Took my family for Mother&#39;s Day. The young waitress serving us was really lovely, she made sure my mum felt special. That was the nicest part.

Popped in for a late lunch. The Yorkshire pud and beef was huge, packed with meat. The real star was the rotating cask ale - a lovely malty one that cut through the rich gravy perfectly. Just a bit chilly by the window.

Been coming here for years. The linguine with tuna and prawns is always spot on, never disappoints. Generous portion too, leaves me happily full every time. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The paneer bhuna was lovely, really fresh. The wait was a bit long, but the seats were comfortable so it was fine.

Really appreciate the variety of veggie and vegan dishes here. The food was tasty, service was friendly. A nice change of pace.

Nice spot in an old building downtown. I like that you can see the kitchen. The pizza was good, but honestly, for the price, I expected a bit more on the plate.

The 2-for-&pound;25 deal is solid. Had the steak and fish pie last night. Steak was cooked just right, fish pie creamy and hearty. Portions are decent for the price. Food arrived quickly, which was nice as we were pretty hungry.

Chris was brilliant on a packed Saturday. We showed up without a booking, and he just made it work with such a friendly, calm vibe. Really appreciated that.

The full English breakfast was solid, and they had a nice spread of pastries too. Quiet spot for an early bite.
