Meze Turkish Restaurant
113 Parkgate, DarlingtonVisited Meze last week after an evening matinee performance at the Darlington Hippodrome a few doors down. I have to say we had a great experience. The food was excellent. My wife and I shared hummus and bread to start, a large portion of very good hummus and good Turkish bread, For main I had Izmir kofte, a large portion of very tasty kofte, nicely presented with a large salad, red cabbage, rice and fried potatoes. My wife had Chicken supreme which was also very tasty and served with the same sides. We were too full to have dessert. With an Efes and a glass of red wine the bill was £42. Great value, Good, attentive service also helped us enjoy the evening. We also had a nice chat with the Cem the owner and chef. We hope to return soon.

Masala Art
4a Houndgate, DarlingtonAn Unforgettable Culinary Masterpiece in Darlington.
My partner and I had heard the buzz about Masala Art for months, and finally, we decided to see if it lived up to the hype. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, it not only met but completely exceeded our expectations. This isn't just a meal; it's a culinary experience.
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with genuine passion.
We started with the Mixed Grill Platter, and it was a revelation. The tender pieces of Tandoori Chicken were succulent and smoky, the Sheekh Kebab was perfectly spiced with a wonderful texture, and the Tandoori Prawns were an absolute standout – juicy king prawns in a light. It was the perfect start.
For our mains, we ventured into their chef's specials. The Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) was, without question, the best I have ever tasted. The sauce was impossibly creamy, rich, and subtly sweet, with a complex depth of flavour that just lingered. The chicken was so tender it melted in the mouth.
Alongside it, we ordered the Goat curry. The Goat was fall-apart tender, having clearly been slow-cooked for hours, and the gravy was a beautiful, aromatic symphony of spices – robust and warming without being overly hot. We paired these with a Garlic Chilli Naan that was fluffy, blistered to perfection, and packed with flavour, and a portion of Lemon Rice that was fragrant and the perfect, zesty accompaniment to soak up the incredible sauces.
We were too full for dessert, but our waiter insisted we try a bite of the Gulab Jamun. I'm so glad he did! Served warm, these soft, syrupy dumplings were the ideal sweet ending to a perfect meal.
An absolute 10/10 – do not miss this place!

The White Horse
Burtree Ln, Harrowgate Hill, DarlingtonI came into this pub for a drink and thought their deals on food and menu looked pretty decent so came back to try something.
They have a good sized menu with plenty of things to suit everyone. Their prices are really reasonable and they have really good deals. If you make an account on their website you can get a free pint of coors beer with your burger (or a half if you're driving).
I ordered the old faithful beef double burger.
It took about 5-10 minutes to get to my table. Everything was hot. The chips were really nice and crispy.
I ordered the burger minus the bbq sauce because it's not my thing and I put mayo from the condiments selection on the table.
The burger meat itself is not gourmet. Quite thick burgers but that's not a put down - I've just been on the hunt for the perfect burger for a long time. It was still tasty and i ate most of it (it's huge!).
Overall the food was really good value for money, really filling and i left feeling bloated in the best possible way.
The pub is really nice and can be busy but it seems to draw a respectful crowd. It wasn't rowdy.
The staff are really friendly and everything is really clean and comfortable.
There's also a really nice beer garden out front with nice lights that make it quite cosy. There's also another smaller beer garden out the back.
If you want a nice pub and some good grub - I highly recommend the white horse.

Kandy Grill & Desserts
169 North Rd, DarlingtonJuicy Burger & Creamy Milkshake – Totally Worth It!
I recently visited this Kandy Grill and tried their veggie burger and orea milkshake. Honestly, I was impressed!
The burger was absolutely delicious – juicy patty, perfectly toasted bun, and the sauce added just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the taste. The layers were well-balanced, and every bite felt satisfying.
The milkshake was super thick and creamy, just how I like it. It had a rich chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. A great companion to the burger, especially if you’re in the mood to treat yourself.
Prices were cheap too – For the taste and portion size, it felt like good value for money.
Service was quick, and the staff were friendly. The place was clean, and the vibe was chill and casual – perfect for a quick food break.
Highly recommend if you’re a burger and shake lover! Will definitely be coming back to try more from their menu.

The Countryman & Countryview Campsite
Dunwell Ln, DarlingtonThis is a beautiful campsite in a stunning location that is let down by the cleanliness of the showers. I don't like to leave a bad review, but this is the third time we have stated here and the dutuation hasnt changed. There is black mould in the corners if the cubicles. The showers are smooth plastic trays that are slippery when wet. The drain was blocked with hair and dirty soap scum in the one I used yesterday, so the water overflowed and soaked my clothes (left on the floor because no jooks had been provided). The mops provided were absoluteley filthy and sitting in buckets full of dirty grey water. There was nowhere to change the water and clean the mops. Are these facilities ever cleaned?

Masala Art
4a Houndgate, DarlingtonAn Unforgettable Culinary Masterpiece in Darlington.
My partner and I had heard the buzz about Masala Art for months, and finally, we decided to see if it lived up to the hype. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, it not only met but completely exceeded our expectations. This isn't just a meal; it's a culinary experience.
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with genuine passion.
We started with the Mixed Grill Platter, and it was a revelation. The tender pieces of Tandoori Chicken were succulent and smoky, the Sheekh Kebab was perfectly spiced with a wonderful texture, and the Tandoori Prawns were an absolute standout – juicy king prawns in a light. It was the perfect start.
For our mains, we ventured into their chef's specials. The Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) was, without question, the best I have ever tasted. The sauce was impossibly creamy, rich, and subtly sweet, with a complex depth of flavour that just lingered. The chicken was so tender it melted in the mouth.
Alongside it, we ordered the Goat curry. The Goat was fall-apart tender, having clearly been slow-cooked for hours, and the gravy was a beautiful, aromatic symphony of spices – robust and warming without being overly hot. We paired these with a Garlic Chilli Naan that was fluffy, blistered to perfection, and packed with flavour, and a portion of Lemon Rice that was fragrant and the perfect, zesty accompaniment to soak up the incredible sauces.
We were too full for dessert, but our waiter insisted we try a bite of the Gulab Jamun. I'm so glad he did! Served warm, these soft, syrupy dumplings were the ideal sweet ending to a perfect meal.
An absolute 10/10 – do not miss this place!

Rockliffe Hall
Hurworth-on-Tees, DarlingtonPerfect one night stay in between Christmas and NY. Christmas decorations are beautiful, spa garden at sunset with cocktails was memorable, superior room in the old hall was amazing and the food (breakfast and dinner) was outstanding. Expensive but worth every penny! Staff were the best I have ever experienced at a hotel. Polite, helpful, non intrusive and totally customer focused. Highly recommend and did not want to leave. Thank you for an amazing stay.

The Old Yard Tapas Bar
98 Bondgate, DarlingtonI booked the Tapas Bar on behalf of DarlingtonOS for our after show party. George, Chloe and all the staff were just brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We ordered the buffet menu and there was an excellent choice of food and plenty of it. They catered for all people with dietary requirements, Veggie, Vegan and Gluten free. All who attended said they loved it, it was a great venue with atmosphere and they loved the food. I will certainly be booking again. Some are even going to book with family as they loved it do much. Thank you !

The White Horse
Burtree Ln, Harrowgate Hill, DarlingtonI came into this pub for a drink and thought their deals on food and menu looked pretty decent so came back to try something.
They have a good sized menu with plenty of things to suit everyone. Their prices are really reasonable and they have really good deals. If you make an account on their website you can get a free pint of coors beer with your burger (or a half if you're driving).
I ordered the old faithful beef double burger.
It took about 5-10 minutes to get to my table. Everything was hot. The chips were really nice and crispy.
I ordered the burger minus the bbq sauce because it's not my thing and I put mayo from the condiments selection on the table.
The burger meat itself is not gourmet. Quite thick burgers but that's not a put down - I've just been on the hunt for the perfect burger for a long time. It was still tasty and i ate most of it (it's huge!).
Overall the food was really good value for money, really filling and i left feeling bloated in the best possible way.
The pub is really nice and can be busy but it seems to draw a respectful crowd. It wasn't rowdy.
The staff are really friendly and everything is really clean and comfortable.
There's also a really nice beer garden out front with nice lights that make it quite cosy. There's also another smaller beer garden out the back.
If you want a nice pub and some good grub - I highly recommend the white horse.

Bakerman
9 Clark's Yard, DarlingtonAs a photographer I was privileged to get some (behind-the-scenes) photos of the bakers making the bread, pastries and delicious cakes.
They are community based bakers so the profits go back into the business to benefit the community.
The staff in the bakery and shop are fantastic and dedicated to giving the best product and service to their customers.
