King's Grill at Mecure Darlington Kings Hotel

When my friend Michelle said there was a cider pub on a boat, I knew I had to come here.

Loved it! Lovely catch up with friends, loved the fact we could have unlimited Latte ect and not just plain coffee

A barge that sells cider and lots of it! My fiancé doesn't realise this place has a name - he calls it the cider barge. View menu

We had a delightful afternoon tea with prosecco. The sandwiches, scones, and cakes were all delicious. Highly recommend.

It was lovely getting together with my siblings. Just enough food so no waste and definitely value for money. It was a Christmas afternoon tea and the staff made the effort with party hats etc Thank you

No selection of sandwiches for a vegetarian only egg!! Only given 1 drink. Came in December and had gone up £10 now and the food wasn't worth, with the selection we got!! The scones were tiny. They are normally a proper size. We have been doing afternoon tea here for the last 2 years and this was the worst!! View menu

We had booked for afternoon tea for 3 and thought we would be in the restaurant upstairs as that is what the booking said. We were moved to the bar as obviously the restaurant was not busy which was ok but it would have been nice to have been aware of this from the booking. staff really good and lovely quality of food.

We had a delightful afternoon tea at this restaurant, and it was great value for money. The only downside was the limited sandwich options - we only had egg and ham with mustard. We had to ask for butter for the crackers, and the plain scone was a bit of a disappointment. As it was the gentleman's afternoon tea, we would have preferred cheese. Despite these small issues, we still had a lovely time.

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 an... View menu
