Restaurants in Ferryhill

Cross Keys

Honestly could not recommend this pub highly enough. We've just had my husbands 60th Birthday here with 18 guests and the food was absolutely amazing, the service was outstanding and everyone throughly enjoyed themselves. We had a lot of family who have travelled a long way to be with us and every one of them loved it. Lovely lovely place ?

Gemcafe

Absolutely superb breakfast. I haven’t had fried bread in decades so this was a treat. The eggs were perfect. Speedy service and friendly staff. They poured a great cuppa too.

Shell's village bakery

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Shell's Village Bakery in Ferryhill, County Durham, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! This charming bakery not only serves delicious hot food to locals but also offers exceptional cold buffets for events.

The hot food is always fresh, tasty, and served with a smile. Whether you're stopping by for a quick breakfast or a hearty lunch, Shell's Village Bakery has something to satisfy every craving. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal.

What truly sets this bakery apart is their fantastic cold buffet service. We recently used them for a family event, and the spread was nothing short of spectacular. The variety and quality of the food exceeded our expectations, and everything was beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it!

Shell's Village Bakery is a true gem in Ferryhill, providing top-notch food and outstanding service. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

Pizza Hot

Best takeaway I have been to will totally recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to get good quality food and the staff are lovely they are always smiling and always me you feel welcome in the shop

Starbucks Coffee

First visit to a Starbucks. Friendly staff, quick service, beautiful cakes, clean and fresh smelling toilets, knowledgeable staff of drinks available. Quite expensive but it was nice

The Aviator Bistro

We visited this place to alleviate my fascination with planes even though pn the day there was no flying because of poor weather conditions.
The Aviator is located next to the air side, so there should be a good view of air traffic on a good day. The building is fairly modern, and well thought out inside. It's a bit smaller than I expected from the photos I saw beforehand, and it could do with a bit of a refresh of the decor where the cheap laminate flooring has worn or lifted, for example.
There are plenty of staff on hand, standing around looking for things to do when they don't have any direct customers to serve. Unfortunately, most of them lack experience and don't offer a friendly, hospitable service, being school kids or post-schoolers on their first jobs.
We were disappointed that we missed breakfasts: they were advertised on the website but when we arrived we found out that they are only available until 11.30 (12pm on Sundays). This could usefully be mentioned on the website.
The main meals and the drinks are quite pricey, in my view: £3 for a small pot of tea for one is quite high, considering a teabag costs a few pence. Mains average about £12-£14. Although, I was a bit surprised that the halloumi burger cost £2 more than the classic beef burger - I can't understand this price differential.
Anyway, they are all the negative points. On the positive side, the food was really well cooked and adequately portioned when it arrived. We were surprised that the classic beef burger came with two large meaty patties. The halloumi burger came with breaded fingers of the cheese but seemed a lot smaller that the beef burger in size, somehow. The chips were well cooked and on the beef burger dish, there were plenty of them.
The burgers were served on a metal tray, lined with a paper tray cover, which gets soggy and disintegrates during the meal. Personally, I would prefer it to be served on a plate without the flammery.
Overall, we liked this venue. There are opportunities for improvement but overall we thought it was interesting. I would like to return when the breakfast is available to see if that is better value for money. I think the pricing is a little off for the drinks and general menu, but if that doesn't bother you too much, you know you will get a decent meal here.

Vegetarian options: The halloumi burger offers breaded halloumi fingers stacked in a burger bun with hot spicy sauce and salad. For some reason they have this priced at £14, which is £2 more than the classic beef burger while its portion size is smaller. I can't quite fathom why this is the case as halloumi is not known to be more expensive than beef, especially considering the size of the beef patties used for the beef burger.

Parking: Free and easy to use parking directly outside the building, including opportunities to park for disabled users.

Bayleaves

By far the best Indian takeaway in the Spennymoor area. The local restaurants/take aways charge a lot more for no reason and that says it all. Food at Bayleaves more than matches and exceeds the Spennymoor indian take aways and just proves that they treat their customers well, not just to make money out of them. All of the local Indian take aways charge 30% more than this takeaway, the question is why ? Because they do !!Well done Bayleaves ..at last a proper Indian who I will now use all the time as I have used Spennymoor ones for over 20 years !

The Chippy

Friendly,clean environment,lovely fish and chips was lush garlic was nice but only thing garlic dip should change to home made would be even better ,my child enjoyed his sausage and chips he ate it all up and enjoyed it too thanksKid-friendliness: Has sweets for the kids to get and meal deals for the kids

Pizzalicious

Food Is awesome and the quality is excellent and top of it the staff is very polite and friendly that's guides you to the best deals which is perfect for you.

A1 Chinese Chop Suey House

Very good Chinese would definitely come again and I like to see the young boy in the back he always puts a smile on my face his name is Chen. I love to see the younger generation get involved!!

Bob's Pizza

Shop now has new, certified staff. Inside was very clean. Very friendly staff. Ordered a pizza. Had enjoyable conversations with everyone while I waited. The pizza itself was still hot when I got home. Very tasty and not greasy unlike a lot of takeaways I've had. The garlic sauce I got for dipping was surprisingly thick & creamy. Best I've had in a long while. The garlic was not overpowering. Very enjoyable. Will definitely be ordering again.Kid-friendliness: Staff were amazing with children ordering. Very patient and don't speak down.Parking: Plenty of parking outside of the premises.

Pizza Time

Been here twice now and it is by far the nicest takeaway I have ever had. The pizzas are incredible I plan to through the whole menu I also drive here but well worth the travel

Subway

As other reviews have mentioned, the food itself is not a problem, but there’s only one guy serving, so it does take a little bit of time. By the way, I ordered a steak spud (£6.19).
