Populairste Engelse restaurants in Troutbeck

Nestled in a secluded area near Barnard Castle, this restaurant offered a dining experience that was almost flawless. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, and our choices for the evening were both diverse and delightful. The steak frites was an undeniable highlight—cooked to perfection with a crispy, golden portion of fries that complemented the tender, flavorful steak beautifully. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. Equally impressive was the chicken parmo, which came with a perfectly breaded coating and a rich, cheesy topping. It was indulgent, comforting, and utterly satisfying. The focaccia bread was a lovely nibble—warm, fragrant, and with just the right balance of crusty exterior and soft, airy interior. It added a rustic charm to the meal and was excellent for dipping into the accompanied red pepper hummus. The service was another highlight of the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a memorable experience. From thoughtful recommendations to impeccable timing, they added a personal touch that elevated the meal. Unfortunately, the dessert left us slightly underwhelmed. The pineapple tart, while visually stunning, was overly tart and carried a surprising hint of spice that felt too overpowering for our tastes. While creative, it lacked the balance we were hoping for in a sweet finale. Overall, this restaurant impressed us with its savory dishes and exceptional service, but the dessert could use some refinement to match the excellence of the earlier courses. A strong 4/5, and we would happily return for another meal—just maybe not for the pineapple tart.

We have been coming here a while only problem we had was there wasn't enough staff on waited over half an hour to receive drinks and food. Staff worked exceptionally well under the circumstances, very polite and smiling. Food excellent 👌

We were given a private room in which to dine. Our daughter has autism and a fear of laughing and noise. The room was beautiful and the food and service superb.
