Table Talk Indian Diner

"My partner and I have dined at Table Talk twice now, and it has been one of the best Indian meals I have ever had. The food, including vegetable paratha, seek kebab, and my girlfriend's favorite, chicken pakora, was excellent. The service was also top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant - we have also tried their takeout and it was just as good as dining in. It's impressive to see such a great restaurant in a small village. We will definitely continue to dine here."

"Had a really lovely afternoon/early evening here. Staff are extremely professional and diligent. The food is excellent, hot and tasty. Second time here the Sunday lunch was served without any stuffing. We explained to Richard (Mead) and without any fuss and straight away Richard appeared with a small plate of stuffing. The Sunday Lunch and Steak was excellent Welldone the Chef!! Excellent service, responsive and we were felt “that people within this establishment cared”!! Welldone Richard and the rest of the Staff that looked after us. We will be back again…. With the Dog!! "

"I order 2 pack of meal deals 1hun tikka masala, pilau reis and an extra simple naan I said it would be 1 hour and 30 minutes this was good, we waited for 2 hours and when it arrived the food. was cold and we had no soaking with our packings and there was a missing naan broth for the kids also no cries After we had read so many great reviews, we were looking forward to trying it, but tbh was it a let down that was bland and tasteless possibly the worst Indian food I have ever experienced and the service was just as bad. I just wish I had little indie with my ordinary Indian takeaway, which never fails. it cost me £35 for 2 packs 1 huhn tikka masala 2 bags of chips 1 pilau reis and popadoms. when I went to the menu and added the price of the food without the packs it on £16.40 meant that I paid almost £10 for the packs alone. I'm sorry, but that ruined mine at night, and I'm never gonna give it back to me."

"Went with some friends for an evening meal. There was some issue about us getting a table although the dining area was almost empty. We were given a table in the end and the food was good. There were NO vegetarian options on the blackboard and we had to ask and they made a pasta dish. I hate having to ask for vegetarian meals as it makes you feel awkward and a ‘special case’. A good range of beers and cask ales. Decor a bit overwhelming, every space filled with stuff. I would hesitate to go back here due to the initial resistance to our wanting to eat even though it was only 6:30pm and they advertise food service until 8pm."

Oswald's Stables Pub

"I made a reservation at Oswalds for my grandmother's 90th birthday with 16 guests. The initial communication via email and phone was good, but we were placed in a private room despite requesting a non-private room. We were expecting to be seated in the conservatory, which was my grandmother's preference. Unfortunately, some guests couldn't attend due to Covid, and we were overcharged for the extra meals that were canceled in advance. It took weeks of following up to get a refund. Apart from the money issue, the lack of customer service was disappointing. The events team was responsive, but the waiting staff on the day seemed unhappy, and the management was unhelpful and lacked knowledge of the situation. They offered no apologies and came across as uncaring. Good customer service and friendliness cost nothing, so it's a shame that this experience was not more positive. I won't be booking any future events at the Hallgarth or recommending it to others."

"We live in Darlington always try to support new independent businesses, as sadly many don 't survive long. So we decided to try this new place for a meal with family to celebrate my husband 's 30th birthday. In summary, the whole experience was awful. There was only one other table in but service was incredibly slow inattentive. Some drinks ordered on arrival never appeared at all, despite several requests. The food was not fresh, or authentic. Most was cold, bland and clearly frozen and reheated (especially the fish, which had an unpleasant tang to it). We had to send a chicken dish back as it was not cooked properly and pink in the middle. No apology was offered. Our order was messed up with some dishes arriving that we hadn 't ordered and others missing. Unfortunately no-one enjoyed their meal. The pizza oven wasn 't working that night, so I can 't comment on the pizza, but to be honest I wouldn 't have high hopes for it after our experience of the other 'authentic ' Italian food. We weren 't asked at any point how things were, or if we needed anything else, and getting more drinks was nigh on impossible. There were several waiters floating around that seemed to have little to do with it being a quiet weeknight, but it seemed they may have realised we weren 't happy so just avoided us. Once we had requested the bill, we broke it down and explained we were willing to pay only for the drinks and few meals that were vaguely edible. Again, no questions were asked about what was wrong and no apology offered. The next day I received a call from the manager/owner. She wanted to understand what had gone wrong as apparently ours was the first complaint they had received since opening (which I now highly doubt, looking at other reviews). I went through all of the above and she did then apologise, explaining that she had not been there that night. She asked if we would be willing to give it another try I said only perhaps for the pizza, which we had been unable to order on the night due to the broken oven. She asked for my address to send us some vouchers for a complimentary meal. I thought this was a nice gesture and appreciated that she seemed to at least want to make the situation right. That was at the end of November and they have never appeared. Looking at the other reviews, I doubt this place will be around long, which is in no way surprising to me after our dreadful experience. Avoid at all costs and take your money elsewhere."

"the food really enjoyed. large selection of burgers and loaded frits. all 4 of our party were very impressed by the burgers. add the loaded frits and they have a very good portion food. table-tennistic and billard tables will mean that this is an unlikely romantic place for two, but a fun night safe. sad service was not brilliant. not terrible, but the chef had to bring the food to the table and didn't seem impressed that he had to do it. Long wait until we got the waiting staff for another drink, so we have a bill and went next door to the pub. overall enjoyed the experience and believe that it had only recently opened. not really an excuse for bad service, but maybe better next time."

"I found this sweet shop absolutely delightful! There were so many sweets to choose from, as well as a variety of soft drinks. I was able to get exactly what I wanted, plus I couldn't resist picking up some extra treats for the long journey home. The staff were very friendly, and they even offered tiny samples if you weren't sure what to get. I promise I will definitely be back!"

"Was taken a few month's ago to this hand built shepherd's hut on the edge of Brafferton by a friend from the school run and now go here nearly every day! Cozy Coffee offers wonderful coffee and other drinks, fantastic bacon and eggs, poached eggs, scones, cakes etc etc. I can't eat the cakes as I am gluten free but they look delicious. My husband loves the bacon sandwiches and also the poached eggs which Rosie cooks to perfection! She has provided me with some good gf options bacon, egg and beans (delicious), hummus with GF crisps etc, and today made gf chocolate brownies for the first time. I am now spoilt for choice!"

"No disabled access from garage area. STAIRS! Ambience of Kind's Bar was lovely. Not noisy, comfortable heat and nice seating. Staff were unobtrusive, but helpful. The afternoon tea stand was prepared fresh, unfortunately the scones were a little on the dry side and just cream and jam, no butter. We got a special extra. It was my friends birthday and they gave us an extra portion of cake. The cherry macarons were lush, however, the pistachio ones were not so flavourful. Some unusual flavour paring, and colouring, but overall tasty and filling tea. We also had two pots of tea during the afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble for the cheerful and attentive staff. I'm going back. Great value and felt special."

"Decided to visit the castle for sunday lunch after visting the bird of prey centre with my young family. Lovely setting however when waiting for someone to show us to our seats I wasnt impressed with her customer service. I can appreciate sundays can be busy but to be told I would have to wait in a not so nice tone im not going to hang around. It costs nothing to be polite no matter how busy you are. I did raise my concerns with the duty manager who was very helpful.But unfortunately I dont think I will ve returning"

"Whilst out having a general run around enjoying the fine weather my wife and i popped into the Piercebridge Farm Cafe following a quick google search.... and wow, so pleased we did. Tucked away in a small corner of a farm yard opposite the church on the green, you'll find this little goldmine. Finding a table and it was the last one as it was clearly popular we ordered our food and drinks. I opted for their BLT, my wife, their warm bacon, butternut squash, beetroot and goats cheese salad with honey and mustard dressing, tea and coffee and to top it all a cheese scone and a slice of their homemade Victoria sandwich cake with fresh cream. The BLT was perfect, fresh lettuce, fresh tomato and some of the tastiest bacon Ive had in a soft brown ciabatta style roll... outstanding. My wife said her salad was the best she'd had and to be fair it looked amazing. Just as my cheese scone arrived and my wife's large slice of cake the owner approached us and asked if we could eat another salad and a full english. A hiccup on the orders meant these were spare and were being offered to anyone who wanted then, rather than waste them. TEMPTED wasn't even close, oh how i wished I had the room to demolish that breakfast, but reluctantly i had to decline, with a tear in my eyes. The spare bacon, butternut squash, beetroot and goats cheese salad was boxed up and gratefully accepted by my wife, who, if she could have slipped a fork away would have eaten it on the way home. My cheese scone was light, fluffy and packed with flavour, and a must for any passing trade. As for the cake... if the Ummms Arghs and more Umms were a clue, id say it was delicious. Both staff and owners were extremely helpful, friendly and certainly made you feel at home. Would we go again... in a heartbeat. And finally, their onsite deli. Packed with fresh locally produced products, frozen meals and fresh meats, yes we paid that a visit to. Oh Thank you to all, we'll be back."

I asked for a window table and safe enough that was requested! the food took a while, but we were not in a hurry. we have more drinks. when the food arrived, it was great and they brought us a bowl of chips that were made delicious at home! these were free due to our waiting time! we're coming back. Thank you."

"We arrived just before our booked time of 8pm. We got our main courses at 9pm making us late for the cinema. Our daughter had to take her pizza in a box to the cinema and then eat it at home afterwards. The noise from the bar and the shouting from the kitchen staff was unacceptable."
