Excellent food and the service was exceptional. Each course was given a full description by our waiters which actually made the whole experience even better.

Dietary restrictions: I have kidney disease which means that I have to be exceedingly careful about what I eat. I was asked if we had any dietary needs by our waitress and we actually overheard her telling the chefs about it and my food was amazing. There is no doubt that we will return to experience the 6 course menu.

ASK Italian

Unit 4 Walkergate, Durham

This is one of our favourite chain of restaurants to eat mainly because my wife is Coeliac and needs a safe gluten free variety of food.
The staff are fully clued up with allergies and always ask on entering whether anyone has any.
The GF menu is very substantial and the spicy calabria pizza is one of the best GF pizzas I have had. I also love the Mushroom risotto. My wife's fave GF dessert is the Chocolate Etna with the warm sauce slowly melting the chocolate covering of the ice cream.
Also a big plus is the special perks you get when joining the mailing list. We have had numerous free sides, mains and starters. Also my wife was very surprised to receive a £10 off voucher around her birthday.
All in all I would definitely recommend ASK italian.
We normally visit the Metrocentre ASK and this was our first visit to this one. Staff were friendly and efficient

Dietary restrictions: Great for Coeliac with great Gluten Free menu done in safe environment

Amazing authentic Italian spot, located right outside of the city centre! The food was amazing and for the price you can’t complain at all! The portion sizes were very generous and all of the staff were very friendly and observant. I can personally recommend the minestrone soup (if available as it is a soup of the day option) as well as the bolognase. The food all tasted fresh and homemade style, helped by me seeing them bring in a new sack of potatoes ?

Overall an incredibly cheap, tasty little find!

A very nice meal although the curry was very spicy hot. So if you choose something with one chilli icon, it means it's more like 2 or 3.

Others had chunky chips and roast potatoes so any would have done. Apart from this I cannot complain as it was lovely. I had red velvet berry cheesecake for dessert which was melt in the mouth delicious. Shout out to Lewis and the rest of the staff fur being so attentive. We had our Christmas meal here last year and have not been disappointed. I will definitely be visiting again.

Swan & Three Cygnets

Elvet Bridge, Durham

I've already posted a glowing review about Culpitts Hotel, the other Samuel Smith pub in Durham. The Swan, as it is affectionately known, has the same great beer and amazing prices, but lacks some of the personal touch. Where it makes up for it is with the outdoor seating by the River Wear, which is most welcome on sunny days. It's right by the university, so it can get crowded with students during the academic year, so much so that they'll resort to using plastic pint "glasses". (The solution: order the Old Brewery Bitter, which always seems to come in real pint glass.) Mildest reservations aside, if you want a terrific cheap beer, particularly during the summer, the Swan is tough to beat.

Cafédral Durham

Great little cafe, entrance is found at the top of the stairs. Nice section of food and drinks. The plants fill this cafe and give it a cute vibe. We tried out the scones and there was quite a selection to chose from. Would go back again.

The Holy GrAle

57 Crossgate, St Margarets Garth, Durham

Sour beer lovers that's the place to visit. Wee Vault cans! A fridge full with them. All the flavours what you need. It is pricey £6 - £11 a can, but if you ever had one you know it's worth it. Everyone was friendly it is great place to have a beer with friends. Highly recommend it.

Ye Old Elm Tree

12 Crossgate, St Margarets Garth, Durham

Amazing cozy pub found tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Great selection of cask ales on. Atmosphere is everything you need in a proper pub with a fire crackling right as you walk in the front door. The real reason to stay is the spectacular bar staff. Will definitely stop by when in town again.

Tortilla Durham

Came to this place and they started to make my burrito but after they made it they said it’s card only and I only had cash. So instead of turning me away the lovely lady gave me it for free on the house. Fabulous food and amazing service 10/10

The Head of Steam Durham

3 North Rd, Durham

Since moving to Durham for university this has been my go to pub. The food is excellent. The staff are super friendly and very approachable when ordering. I have recommended this place to a great number of friends and they have all since become regular customers of the place.

Great selection of drinks. Even a great selection of non alcoholic drinks for the non drinkers.

Would definitely recommend this place as it caters to all.
