Cafe Cenno - County Durham

Why contribute to a national chain when you can come to cafe cenno in Durham Market. Here you get first class food at a reasonable price AND support the local economy, surely a no brainer!

A safe bet for no-frills fare, in a central location above Durham 's indoor market. Today, the steak, mushroom and onion sandwich got the thumbs up from my companion, though it was rather messy to eat. My cheese savoury sandwich (in brown bread) was generously filled, and the side order of chips excellent. I found a 'small ' bowl of chips is still quite substantial, as the chips are the real deal. Chunky, and delicious. I feel the prices have inched up a bit since my last visit, but as costs have risen across the board this is perhaps to be expected.

I love it when indoor markets have a cafe because you can always guarantee delicious well-cooked food. This proved to be the case today when we visited the bustling Cafe Cenno in Durham Market Hall. The cafe is on a mezzanine floor so you look out across the top of the market stalls. It has a lot of seating but was very busy so we were lucky to get a table. We went in for lunch, my husband having steak pie, peas and gravy whilst I opted for the light option roast dinner with beef. The food was delicious: beef so tender with lovely gravy and the best mash you could imagine. We managed to share a Mars bar slice as all of the other cakes and desserts were enormous! Proper Yorkshire tea made the meal complete. If you are looking for good quality home cooking, well prepared and generous portions this is a must visit. It is very rare that we visit Durham but this will definitely be on our list of great places to eat.

Not bad 2 x 8 item all day £795 each) breakfast OK but the tined tomatoes were a no no i like fresh tomatoes and the fish chips looked nice the place was pretty busy

If I could give 0 stars I would, especially for the service. Decided to try this place today, when ordering I asked for no Mushy peas with my corned beef pie and chips, my daughter asked for peas and our friend asked for a jacket potato with cheese. When our food arrived I had mushy peas on my plate, my daughter had no peas and our friend was brought a jacket potato with Tuna… they made a new jacket potato and brought out my daughter some peas, however when it came to mine they refused to do anything about it. Fair enough if it was normal peas but it wasn’t. All of the other parts of the meal were submerged in mushy peas
