The Garden House Inn

Lovely food great atmosphere and quick service. The only complaint I have is the car park which is very small with the access from one side blocked which is not helpful but once inside the pub the food was excellent

Beautiful food, excellent service and a nice setting. I had the lobster sandwich (lunchtime menu) which was delicious and my friend went for the burger which was huge! A sticky toffee pudding later and we were full! We will be back!

Excellent friendly service and a fantastic Sunday roast. The 12-hour-beef was to die for! Lovely Interiour with welcoming fireplaces. Everything was fresh and served relatively quickly. The whole family loved it!

The food was very nice. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant for sunday lunch, it has a lovely atmosphere with open fires - very cosy!

Fantastic! Great service and lovely food in welcoming surroundings. We love it here

Excellent as usual. Food great. Staff as accommodating as possible for such a large group.

Another perfect Sunday lunch. Pay a visit and try the feather blade of beef, you wont be disappointed. Pleasant friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

Great service even to help finding me a car parking space the food was delicious and the inn has a warm cozy atmosphere really good

We love the quality of food and the overall atmosphere, hence the fact that we revisited the Inn; however, this is the second time we have found the service to be slow and inattentive despite the fact that the Inn was not particularly busy at the time of our visit.

Gorgeous pub with a roaring fire. Staff were friendly and the small plates were delicious with a glass of wine, especially the Korean pork belly bites. Very dog friendly too!

Great atmosphere, interesting and delicious food near the centre of Durham. The smoked pork fillet was especially good with whipped potato mash and a pulled ham and leek "pie" on the side. Generous portions and reasonable prices.

Great fresh food, cooked well, good beer, and good service will definitely go back some time soon. Nice little beer garden out the back too.

Fabulous meal. Can’t wait to return. Everything was absolutely perfect from starter to desert. Would certainly recommend Sunday dinner at The Garden House in Durham.

Food was fine but thought the wine was a little over priced. Limited choice on the menu but the atmosphere was pleasant. Staff were attentive.

Very good quality food. Menu choice was excellent and service was excellent

This is a fantastic little place, great ambience and the food is amazing! Service today was a little slow however. It was packed though and I didn’t hear Any complaints !!

. . . . . . . . . . . Very good food, great portion size and good value. Will definitely go again .

Very busy cosy local pub serving amazing food and a couple of decent ales. Had a fantastic dinner with my wife, the service was outstanding

Helpful staff very relaxing atmosphere and an esoteric menu. Always difficult choices..but time to have a beer while thinking about it. Many beers to choose from too

Gorgeous pub, perfect on a wintry day. Food excellent, prices reasonable, service great - what more could you want! Would definitely recommend the Garden House.

Very polite service Starter arrived very quickly but main course took quite some time - it was busy so guess that’s why and food was definitely worth waiting for, Great food - best Sunday Lunch I’ve had for a while Bit noisy where we were sitting as two large groups in- often feel it would be better to put large groups in the conservatory.

On a cold night it was probably not good to be in the garden room ! A bit chilly and a very noisy 21st birthday party didn't add to the ambience. Service ok, food ok.

Amazing food, very good service and lovely surroundings. Would highly recommend, especially the Sunday lunches. We've already booked to go back in two weeks time.

Service was excellent and food choice brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, so much do we booked for lunch the next day and also for Graduation in June. Thank you

A varied menu with plenty to choose from light bites to hearty mains. Pleasant service. Lovely light and sunny conservatory to eat in. Very good value.

Service was poor and slow, food fine when it eventually came and always check the bill the last twice we have been here drinks added to wrong bill. I understand these things happen just be careful.

Great food and great service! We had an excellent meal. It was a set menu on a Sunday. Good veggie options and lush desserts! Would recommend.

Good food, friendly staff, service a bit slow, very noisy in the conservatory when a group of students arrived.

We have eaten here several times for lunches and dinners and love the atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food. We will definitely be going again.

I ordered the monkfish cheeks to start, what I got was posh scampi, it just wasn't what I had in mind, even if it was monkfish, you couldn't taste it for the deep fried breadcrumbs!! Not great, but the main more than made up for it!! I ordered the 12 hour feather blade beef, which was fantastic and my wife had the rare rump of beef which was well worth the extra £2 supplement!! The starter was quickly forgotten about!!!!

Nice food in a lovely pub few details like paper menus and no decent vegetarian options lets it down. Best for meat eaters but one of the best places Durham has to offer.

midweek evening meal. adult meals were good but childrens meals were very average. sunday lunch meals have always been a lot better than this. The beers are good.

Delicious food,perfectly cooked. Friendly and helpful staff, who were helpful and pleasant. We really enjoyed our evening and recommend The Garden House to our friends

Very nice atmosphere, service was impeccable; just very attentive and caring. Food was delicious, huge portions and great value for money. Will definitely be back.

The food was excellent, and the service was very good considering it was a Saturday night and really busy. Will definitely be back at some point in the future.

The service was slow and my meal had to be returned as it was cold. Wasn’t happy that there was no reduction on the bill but it was swiftly rectified

Excellent food and service, music was a bit loud and lighting could have been a bit brighter. Fantastic chips (crisp and crunchy) and haggis scotch egg

Fantastic restaurant. The food is always absolutely delicious! Really good value for money as well. Three courses for only £18.95. Lovely place and lovely staff.

Great, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good service and good food. What more can you want from a restaurant? Have been a few times before and will be back again.

The food was pretty good. Service was awful. They ignored us all the time and forgot to bring us our drinks and food constantly. When they brought the bill, we noticed that there was a mistake and they didn't charge us three main dishes. We said that there must be a mistake, because we ordered more and they didn't even say thank you. In fact the staff did not talk at all, which made us feel not welcome.
