Star of Siam at The Highfield Hotel
101 Durham Road, East Rainton, Houghton Le SpringWe've been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The food is genuinely authentic — fresh, flavourful, and exactly what good Thai cooking should taste like. But what really keeps us coming back is the staff. Every visit feels warm and welcoming, especially thanks to Shirley, who always greets us with a smile and makes us feel like regulars in the best way. Highly recommend if you're after great Thai food and even better service.

Houghton Rd, Newbottle, Houghton le SpringAbsolutely blown away by our meal tonight! I ordered the seafood pasta and it was nothing short of incredible—perfectly cooked, packed with fresh, flavorful seafood, and coated in a rich, beautifully balanced sauce that tied everything together. Every bite tasted like it had been crafted with real care.
My partner went for the prawn and chicken pasta, and that dish was just as amazing!
The atmosphere, the presentation, and the quality of the food all came together to create a genuinely memorable dining experience. This place is an absolute must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Pizzalicious By AL (Fencehouses )
Gladstone St, Colliery Row, Houghton le SpringReally glad I tried this place (if you had a website, I might have tried sooner, but it has always been busy anyway). Been 3 times and it has been consistent each time. I've always collected as soon as my order is ready. Mixed kebab is perfect for sharing with 2 breads and a big portion each. Everything is good quality, I especially like the kofta which is fresh and flavourful. They have optional roasted vegetables for the kebabs included that other places don't offer, and this works well. The price is spot on for what you get. Staff are welcoming. I definitely recommend ?
