"I would rate this restaurant 4.9 stars. It was a pleasure to see a professional waiter and enjoy high-quality food. We shared a dessert and were reminded to ask for two spoons. We ordered three courses, and the soup was delicious, while the lamb was beautifully tender. The fresh green vegetables were lovely, too. The only issue was that the food cooled down quickly, which is a common problem. Perhaps using hot plates could help with that. The dessert was just what we needed to finish the meal. For me, it was a fantastic Sunday, and the Sunday dinner was truly satisfying."

Had a lovely meal. Lamb melted in your mouth. Very comfortable with friendly staff. Inside is bigger and a lot nicer than it looks from outside. Would definitely return if around there again.

Undoubtedly, the best pub food you can have! The chefs take something to another level. Brilliant service and dog friendly too. Make sure you don't miss the Cheesy chips, trust me! Will definitely return to check the Sunday dinners.

We’ve been here twice in the last month and both meals have been the best we’ve had in years. The food, though not the cheapest is worth every penny. Having said that there are value options, and they looked amazing. We couldn’t recommend this place any more. View menu

Just had a fantastic lunch at the Travellers Rest. The quality of food is excellent, definitely a gastro pub. The beer is good and the staff very polite and helpful. The set menu is fantastic value for the standard of food. All in all a great place to eat or just pop in for a drink or two

Without a doubt, this place serves the best pub food around! The chefs elevate the dining experience to another level. The service is excellent, and they are dog-friendly as well. You absolutely have to try the cheesy chips—trust me on this! I will definitely return to enjoy the Sunday roast.

A little more pricier than most pub scrub but also better than the majority of pub foods. A very nice friendly pub, ideal for a beautiful family meal. Our main meals lasted longer than I am used to, but not a worthy complaint, and my mother always told me that this could be a good thing as they make your food fresh, not warm up something. I look forward to a return visit. View menu

I visited the restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night and opted for a delightful low-fat fish and vegetable dish. It was incredibly fresh and delicious. Another diner ordered the cake and springblade beef, and they both enjoyed their meals as well. The portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little. While it was a bit pricey, which seems to be common everywhere these days, the service was excellent, with friendly staff and a reasonable wait time for our food. Overall, I left satisfied and would definitely return.

"Please do not expect good desi food here. The staff and owners are very nice so it pains me to have to write the rest of this review, please accept my apologies in advance. From purely a managerial sense you seem to run an amazing restaurant. Let me preface this by saying my standards are not high, and I assure you I am quite happy eating those tescos indian microwave meals. I have been to spice lounge around 12 13 times for various socials and events and I must say very few dishes here are even remotely passable. Expect bland, over sweetened, and often very strange flavours. I keep going here again and again after reading the reviews and assuming something is wrong with me. Why cant I enjoy these dishes? The service is very nice, attentive, and honestly I have no complaints, the wait staff employed here at the moment are very good. the restaurant and ambience are also quite frankly better than a few few places in durham and the location is excellent. I just cannot recommend the food. Here are a list of items I have ordered over the years which I have had multiple times and would steer clear of: Starters: Onion Bhaji ,Samosa, Paneer Tikka Starter, Hariali Chicken Tikka. Chicken Tikka Starter Mains : Makhani, Madras, Dupiaza, Pasanda, Bhuna, Rogan Josh (In chicken, chicken tikka, lamb, lamb tikka) Biryanis : Chicken and Chicken Tikka Biryani Grills: All. Dishes you should/can order: Naan (the naans are not bad, they are a little thick, I wouldnt go just for naan but its no worse than other places)"

"I would have given 5* for the pub, as it lovely. But the service we received was poor. Stayed for 1 night in the travel lodge next door . Decided to have dinner early at 5pm. The pub wasn’t busy when we were seated, shown to a table opposite the fire, lovely and cosy. Didn’t wait too long for a waiter to come with menus. We were asked if anyone has an allergies, I told waiter I do, he presented me with a tablet and said don’t bother reading it that’s their disclaimer! … umm I think I need to read what’s in what I’m planning to eat?! So it doesn’t make me ill! This was the start of utter chaos… I ordered the chicken schnitzel, I just wanted it breaded with no sauce or anything else it came with, apart from the chips. My partner ordered the signature burger he ordered only 1). Our grandson ordered the gammon. Mains arrived, mine came out 1st, plain chicken and a few chips with a couple of leaves of lettuce! Not what I asked for. I told waiter I wanted it breaded. The waiter did apologise, took the plate back to kitchen. My partners food arrived. Two signature burgers! Told waiter we didn’t order two burgers. I did get what I asked for, about 10 minutes later, who knows if the cook just added breadcrumbs to my original chicken that was brought to the table? As it was bland, hardly any flavour. A few chips and same leaves of lettuce. Partner and grandson did enjoy their meals though. We asked for the bill. Charged for two signature burgers! This was rectified after explaining again to a different waiter, only had 1.. The service was poor, staff need to be trained better. We have been to a few vintage inns and the service has been fantastic just a shame this one wasn’t the same!"
