Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Darlington

Lovely country style restaurant and pub, its unique individual character, with fabulous food, coupled with the owners charm & charisma ensured with had a wonderful experience Must book again in the very near future Thankyou

We can always rely on Lucia’s for excellent service and lovely food at reasonable prices. We asked to be seared outside even though it was quite cold. I was cosy with the blanket provided and sitting under one of the outdoor heaters. The ambience was quiet and festive, and the decor both inside and out was stunning. We definitely recommend a visit - you’ll get hooked too!!

Amazing food and service as always, the staff are always so friendly and welcoming and are a credit to the Blackwell Ox. Food is always fantastic. Thank you. Merry Christmas 🎄

Lovely food, excellent customer service and great atmosphere! We came here for my nephews 21st and had the best night. Thank you for being so welcoming and bringing out the birthday dessert at the end of the night. Made everything just perfect 😊

A very relaxed lunch with work colleagues. Good choice of food and drink for all appetites and some nice non-alcohol / veggie / vegan options. Service was relaxed and friendly and we could keep our table for as long as we wanted. The interior was lovely and beautifully clean. Would definitely book again!
