  “Went today for the first time and wouldn't return. I had hunters chicken and the hubby had scampi.. what can I apart from we both left our food, me almost a full plate. The chicken was very stringy and just didn't taste right, the bbq sauce had either been watered down or it was swimming in grease underneath the bacon sitting ontop of the chicken. It was supposed to be homemade slaw, it was the cheapest shop bought going. The scampi had been over cooked and again the hubby said very cheap and had better frozen bought from the supermarket. We also left our drinks - I ordered half a fosters shandy, it had to go back as it didnt have much lemonade in but then when more was added it tasted like tonic water or something had been added instead. The hubby had a pint of moretti and again he said it had a strange taste. Now we are not fussy eaters but we didn't enjoy the food or drink. The lady serving us was very bubbly and pleasant. On a side note there was no calorie information on the menu so I asked the question and was told she would check with the chef as she wasnt sure, the guy behind the bar came out and told me they couldn't say calories or even give a rough estimate - i thought everywhere had to provide this information now??”

  “Although it appeared it was going to be a quiet night and staff were allowed to go home early. When it go busy, the server and kitchen staff dug deep and excelled in a busy spell. Care was given to every customer and communication was good about delays in service due to circumstances. The steak ciabatta I had was delivered quickly, tasted amazing, cooked to absolute perfection. Thank you for a lovely evening.”

  “How can you get chips and onion rings so wrong. Onion rings still had the skin of the onion on and then both deep fried in dirty oil. Homemade chips aren’t supposed to be soggy. Did take them back to the bar to complain and the young lad just took them and said ‘cheers pal’ and didn’t say anything. Wasn’t looking for a refund but didn’t get offered anything. Drinks are fine and the beer garden is nice and chilled but wouldn’t rate the food we had.”

  “I came for the walk but stopped for the food. The staff are friendly, atmosphere is comforting, the background music is spot on and the food was Delightful. Outside isn't too noisy either being so close to a road.”

  “We visited here twice during our stay in Durham once for dinner once for tea and both times the staff and food were oustanding. The menu is huge so your going to struggle being fussy in here! They also have a specials menu in the evening. The bar is dog friendly and you can book tables for food in there. They have a dog menu which our lad Ozzy loved! The staff are attentive and very friendly and caring about the dogs. The food is unreal, proper hearty food and good portions - you wont be hungry when you leave! Recommend 10 times over”

  “Had lunch and the portions were really big. The food was nicely presented, tasty and warm enough. The pastry on the pie was a bit challenging. The room felt cold but it was a very cold day and there was a draught when customers came through the door from the porch.”

  “A lovely pub, we had a great meal - though I've never had mushy peas on a Sunday dinner before! Really good portion sizes. Staff were lovely but we were left waiting at times, the pub wasn't full so this was unexpected. We weren't asked for a second drink and we had to go and pay rather than the bill coming to us. Overall the restaurant was nice and clean, we didn't go through into the bar. Would go back again just for the raspberry cheesecake!”

  “Hubby & I went for lunch for the first time at the Rose Teee Inn. It is the most welcoming pub we have been to, & spot on for customer service. It was busy & a bustling atmosphere. I had the cheesy pasta with brocoli and garlic bread and extra got a side salad that was lovely and crisp. The cheese pasta was nice but the sauce could be thickened up a bit. Large portions too. My hubby had the prawn ciabatta. Half pint of hobgoblin gold, half diet coke & pint diet coke. Cost £33.85 Toilets very clean Large car park Wheelchair friendly in part of the pub. Seems dog friendly. Kid friendly, there were a few youngsters.”

  “This a a very friendly pub, with excellent food and drink in a nice location next to the River Wear. We were a party of four, with 2 dogs. One of our party is disabled, so we were able to use a convenient disabled parking space, and make our way into the pub using the ramps for the wheelchair. It is very dog friendly and even includes a doggy menu, although we did not take advantage of this. The food and service was excellent, and the pub also boasts a good selection of ales. The portion sizes were very generous and we were able to get a doggy bag to take the remaining portions back home with us. It's nice to enjoy such a nice establishment like this.”
