Top House - County Durham

Had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast and efficient. The menu had a great variety of well-cooked dishes, especially the delicious steaks.

Spot on food and service Even with 3 parties in on the night still given a warm welcome arriving unbooked Can see why it’s so popular

Food locally sourced….love that. Food freshly cooked….love that. Great customer service and friendly team…..love that…..what is not to like about this pub!!! Had a lovely evening….

Went here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting family in the area, sat in the conservatory, very busy which is always a good sign, food came quickly, massive portions, friendly and attentive staff, good value for money, happy family all round!!

Came for the Christmas Fayre menu with my work colleagues in December 2022 but haven’t had chance to write the review until now. The food was very disappointing in fact I thought the dinner was disgusting the vegetables were disgusting and tasted cheap only one pig in blanket which were burnt for everybody on our table. No thought has been put into the menu it was the same as the previous years. No fish option unless you went on an evening so I was forced to eat meat so I didn’t miss out on the meal as the vegetarian starter and main meal were mushrooms and I hate mushrooms. The desert was none existent supposed to be chocolate fudge cake there was the thinnest piece they could have cut hardly any cake on the plate and all just sauce it may as well had been a plate full of sauce. The broth for starter had no taste and again meat in it most other places do a vegetarian soup so you at least have some sort of choice. Not worth the money at all!!
