We stopped here for lunch in between sightseeing in Durham (after the Cathedral and the Oriental Museum) and it was just what we needed! 🥢🍜 The food was fresh, tasty, and full of flavour, with a good variety to choose from. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed – perfect for recharging after a busy morning of exploring. Definitely a great spot to add to your Durham trip. I’ll remember this place not just for the food, but for saving two very hungry explorers! 😅

When we called the food was fine, but with all buffets a little dry. It has beautiful views of the Cathedral and Castle from the river side.
