I've found the food very nice however during most recent visit I don't think they had enough people on in the kitchen so waited nearly an hour for lunch. Was very nice when it arrived.

Came here for a quick bite before our escape room at Lumley Castle so were there at 5. Totally empty but when left at 6 pretty full. Had loaded bowl with wedges and chicken and got so much I couldn't finish. Linda had halloumi skewer and fries and Daz had burger with black sheep beer which always makes him happy. Quick friendly service and plenty of parking

We booked a large table for my dad's 70th Birthday. The staff were very helpful when booking it. Excellent communication with me about meals etc. On the actual evening the staff were also lovely. The male waiter was friendly and attentive. The chef brought a happy birthday dessert which we didnt expect .Definitely recommend thankyou again. ??

We had sunday lunch as a group recently at this pub and it was very nice.The price is competitive @ £12 for a main course with desserts and starters available too.There are lots of large tvs showing sports and it is dog friendly with lots of free parking available.The lager is amstel,fosters and moretti which costs £4 -£5 per pint.The service was very friendly and I would advise to book a table as it can get very busy.Parking: Car parks within the cricket ground are free.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, but no play area - but there is a park adjoining the ground.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance into the bar/restaurant area - plenty of room

I visited here with my husband for Sunday lunch we bought 2 beef baps and a Sunday lunch to take out for my daughter the quality of food has gone downhill and the manager seriously needs to start quality checking the food coming out of the kitchen it cost us £45 and the beef was so chewy and tough you couldn’t cut through it, the water was like gravy the potatoes were of frozen quality and had been way over cooked and they served a beef bap in a seeded burger bun, it was horrendous, I emailed to complain after not being able to speak with a manager in person and had no response, don’t waste your hard earned money here!

Food was aweful NEVER EATEN AGAIN THERE..frozen food tastes better. Only thing good was the atmosphere and the lay out with good wide screen tv's for sport

We came here for a meal with friends on a quiet day for the ground after an appointment. The venue was quiet which for us was ideal as some of the party are neurodivergent and struggle in busy places.The food was demolished by our entire group including desserts! I ordered a light bite bean chilli wrap and it was huge really couldn't fault the food at all.The staff were polite and given the size of our orders worked so well together to organise our food coming out together and ensuring everyone got the right food and if we needed anything else.Our party also had allergies and they catered for them with ease although I would recommend contacting them ahead of your visit just to be on the safe side.I will definitely be returning, great value for money.There is parking available inside the cricket ground with overflow and access to the venue is ground floor and all on one level. Disabled toilet are easy to locate also.Vegetarian options: Good variety I felt although not fully vegetarian I do like to eat a lot of vegetarian options. For me there was a good choice from light bite to main meals.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely fine to have children there and they have a children's menu available.Parking: Although if you are parked in the council parking opposite the ground this is at a fee.Wheelchair accessibility: The venue is on the ground floor and from what I saw all on one level. Double doors on entry although not sure of both are unlocked but I couldn't imagine unlocking it would be an issue to staff.Dietary restrictions: A couple in our party had intolerances and allergies. We did ring in advance just to be on the safe side but staff were great and knowledgeable.

This is a sports bar at Durham Cricket ground. The food is fine, i had the parmo which was lovely and they do gluten free food. The place could do with a bit if a spruce up and the sports on the wall screen was uncomfortably bright. Average.

I found the sticky wicket to be dirty, tables not cleaned, toilets are a disgrace, nothing available to even dry your hands, staff incapable of providing a decent example of customer service, all in all we won’t be back to this badly run establishment.
