Tucked away up a narrow staircase, this place is easy to miss but absolutely worth finding. If you’re around at lunchtime, don’t skip its lunch discount from 12-5pm. The food and drinks were excellent, the portions were huge, and the prices very reasonable. Staff were warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. A hidden gem in Durham.
