The Church Mouse - Chester-le-Street

Food and drink very good! service good and fast, charlotte was very friendly. no cute to eat our main courses we had to ask! it is our first visit for a past and we will be back soon

The creme brûlée had no custard in it, just mushy fruit. The mash was over microwaved and had a big grey lump in it. We weren’t advised that the creme brûlée was not the traditional dessert and was cherry

Lovely atmosphere, with good food and service. Table for two tend to be tucked away in corners and not everyone wants to be secluded and away for the social atmosphere.

We have been going to the Church Mouse for food for a long time. The decor is nice and comfortable and the staff are as attentive polite and friendly as they can possibly be. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday to be told there were a number of items, Yorkshire Puddings, Creme Brûlée no longer on the menu as they had run out. Also we were warned that the wait fir food would be 30 minutes, it ended up being 45 minutes. The food was perfectly ok, the Steak was well cooked and presented. The chips were adequate but slightly under cooked, surprisingly for triple cooked chips. Bar service was slow too and we ended up leaving without desert as the one we wanted was no longer available. Normally a good experience, the waiter waitress was great, very friendly, I felt sad that the experience was not as it used to be ... So I guess COVID has taken it's toll ... maybe we will try again in a few months.

Can’t fault all the staff. They were all friendly and helpful as far as covid rules it was excellent. The food was good and well presented. I had steak with garlic prawns. (Prawns we’re an additional cost but not as amazing as I thought they would be) Mushroom too additional cost So hence a little pricey over all. We will go again though.
