Whitehills Chester Le Street

Really surpassed my expectations. Lovely staff and nice big portions. A tad slow but worth it. I'll be back for sure

Hard to review. For the price, fantastic and I would say a 4 star. All this food and 2 large drinks came to £25. However, the pie was different from the one pictured on the menu. Rather disappointing. The chips were full on cheap frozen, still slightly frozen, chips. The choice of 3 small plates (starters) for a tenner (or 5 for £13) is great way to spread the taste. The beef was, erm, beef. Only a small bit of it was fatty and not editable. Nice, simple British pub vibes. Pleasant, clean, early 2000's music playing, lighting on the darker side which personally, I prefer.

Went there for a meal to celebrate a relatives birthday. The food (vegetarian burger, chicken pie/array of vegetables etc) was nicely presented, the portions were VERY generous and the service was excellent. We'd been at a different location in Durham the previous day, paid twice as much and got half the amount. So highly recommended

Great little dog friendly pub with good food. Burger was well cooked, and great value for what came with it. Great location for dog walkers as its only a 5 minute drive from Waldridge fell. Dogs are welcome both inside and out, with a rear beer garden perfect for dogs. If it's quiet, they could easily be let off the lead.

Great pub and great staff especially the manager Andy who always gives time to have a chat and make you feel welcome. Clientele are good crack too…. All in all a great place to socialise with friends.
