Sportsmans Arms - County Durham

Was so looking forward to trying this place but won’t be back. OK at best, Steaks were not great quality, chewy gristly sirloins fell way short of what you’d expect for the price. Party of 6, none of us wanted to send back and complain to spoil our night out but all a bit disappointed with quality of the food. Have definitely had better pub food at much lower cost. Not a patch on Miller Carter.

Keep your shoes fastened tight, and a loose belt: as this place will blow your socks off if you come unawares. This was the BEST steak that Ive ever eaten. The God's Butter must have been named so because it was an actual gift from the Gods. I had the Tomahawk 16oz. With Gods butter. All that I can say is WOW! It is a LONG time since I had meat sweats while eating. The team clearly know their stuff and are experts within their field. The steak literally melted alongside the butter. Every mouthful is as tasty and moreish as the first.

Amazingly great quality Steakhouse in Durham. Wooden tables (see my pictures) and great atmosphere. Easy to find as the location is by the roadside. The 30oz T-bone I opted for was simply the best-looking T-bone ever. The taste was perfect too and cooked to perfection. No fuss – Steakhouse which I have recommend to friends, workmates and family. Downside: parking maybe limited; you may have to be creative and find a street nearby. I can recommend 100

We had booked and ordered in advance as part of a hen party weekend. There were 13 of us. When we sat down for our meal we asked for a wine list. We were told there wasn't one. We asked for some prosecco.. we were told there wasn't any. We then asked for sauvignon blanc and were told they only had one bottle. We were told that the only wine they had was 2 bottles of pinot grigio and one sauvignon. We asked if we could bring a bottle of our own wine in and we were told no. The waitress said that people don't drink a lot of wine there (at an Italian steakhouse
