Brilliant food, exceptional service, wonderful atmosphere. The journey the Dev has gone on has reached a brilliant point and can now only get better and better. Food is fresh, staff are knowledgeable and wine list is the best in the area.

The restaurant is a lovely setting and has a lovely feeling .The food was ok ..I had mushroom lasagne which was the corner piece and obviously had been warmed as the cheese and lasagne was hard at the edge ..The service was good but felt you were rushed and they wanted you out ..I still would say give the place a try .

Service was good with a busy atmosphere and food served quickly but temperature of the food was only tepid. The pork loin had too much fat.

Very enjoyable experience and have no hesitation in recommending to others. Nice friendly staff and good food which all four of us enjoyed with no complaints. Two of us had the roast beef which was so 'rare' that a good vet could have had it back on it's feet! But that is the modern style and apparently it was very tasty. The beer was okay but not great. Good ambience.

Nice surroundings, food was ok, drinks were expensive. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice evening out, but it was quite pricey and I’m not convinced it was worth the money.

Nice food and friendly staff but some way to go to live up to the expectation! The steak was expensive and the wine list was average but paired together was a good combination.

Lovely food. Great fish and chips deal - 2 for £15. Excellent friendly service. Drinks slightly expensive which puts the bill up but overall definitely worth a visit. We will certainly be back.

We love Muse in Yarm and The Bay Horse in Hurworth so we thought we’d try this new addition to this chain of local restaurants and we were not disappointed. Very different to the other locations but every bit as good.

The Devenport has been refurbished to a high standard the food was excellent the only thing that let it down was the length of time to be served 49 minutes for main course and similar for dessert.

Very pleasant venue, nice and warm on a cold winters evening. The staff are very friendly and helpful.The starters are a bit on the big size for me, I would prefer a smaller starter and obviously pay less, the main meal was nice.

The restaurant has been renovated to a very high standard. The food and service was also of a very high standard. Everyone in our party from young children to grandparents enjoyed their food. I had the shin of beef pie which was melt in the mouth! Highly recommend. Already booked to go back!

Being real ale drinkers we were disappointed to find neither of the 2 options were available. Food was excellent with great choices. Pity it was quiet but maybe that was because it was mid week.

The hotel is fantastic and refurbished to a very high standard. My husband and I stayed in the hotel and the room was amazing. They have a lovely cosy bar area with a burning log fire which we loved. We also ate in the restaurant area for evening meal and the food and service was exceptional. Will definitely be coming again !

First time here for Sunday lunch and the food quality lives up to the group’s excellent sister restaurants. However unlike Muse the vegetables and gravy were served on the plate rather on the side, which is not my personal preference. Good choices on the menu over and above traditional Sunday roasts. Dessert choices were good, though slightly disconcerting to be served cold cheesecake on a plate which had clearly just come out of the dishwasher. But it was still lovely! Friendly and efficient service. Will definitely return.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere of The Devonport - staff were very welcoming and friendly. Service was excellent. Food was presented nicely. One mains dish was disappointing as it lacked flavour. Everything else was perfect.

Lovely meal out recently at the Devonport with friends. Food was delicious and the staff attentive. So much better than when we had Sunday lunch there and it all seemed a bit disorganised. So pleased we gave it another chance.
