    Excellent food, fresh ingredients. Big portions. I had an allergy to an ingredient, and it was all sorted, no issues or fuss.

    Our first visit to the Rose And Crown for quite a while and we were delighted to find it as excellent as before. Very relaxed ambience in unspoilt old world bar. Very friendly and efficient service. Choice of three cask beers kept in tip-top condition. Lovely food- between us we had the steak and venison pie, the fish and chips, and the vegetarian aubergine, all of them quite delicious. As were the posset and the sticky toffee pudding to follow. We hope to return before too long.

    The Rose & Crown was everything we hoped it would be and more. We received a warm welcome and the team balanced friendliness without being overbearing well. The dining room was stunning and calm, almost like stepping back in time. I can’t remember the last time I had a real candlelit dinner. And the food!!! Delicious. We will most certainly return.

    A venue full of history and character set within a beautiful village. The service was quick, friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. I defy anyone not to want to come back for more. The al a carte menu is regularly updated to reflect the best available seasonal produce and the food is always of the highest quality and well presented. There is also a daily specials menu. If this does not tempt you, try the Sunday lunch. Unbeatable.

    We’re regulars at The Rose and Crown and always look forward to visiting. It’s a traditional pub with rooms set in the beautiful Teesdale countryside. Seating outside for pre dinner drinks. Option of more formal dining in the restaurant. Food sourced locally using seasonal ingredients. Bar and restaurant staff have worked here for a long time and always welcoming and friendly.
