The Huntsman - County Durham

Went for Sunday lunch (chicken, beef or belly pork )while we were puppy sitting, food was delicious and even the puppy got a meat bowl and treats. Will definitely visit again.

We went on a Friday evening on payday weekend, so it was pretty busy with people drinking watching the footy rather than having a sit down meal when we were at the establishment. The reason we went for the meal at The Huntsman is because we had seen videos on YouTube of the parmo meals and of the parmo challenge. Although we (4 people) all had ordered parmos, we were quite underwhelmed when we saw the portion sizes for the price of the FULL sized parmo. For as we had seen on a video not 3 months prior uploaded onto YouTube from a reputable source, the size of the chicken parmo itself looked quite smaller in person. Although the food was tasty it just wasn't up to the hype that we looked forward to. From personal experience I would just say it's a place that serves food in a drinking establishment rather than a pub for quality and experience with the food. Just wanted to add a side note since I am not able to reply to comments that me dad's parmo had been sliced on 1 side, showing us that the sizes are not what they were in recent past.

I took my child to Breakfast With Santa and it was fantastic. The food was fresh and hot, the drinks were excellent, and the staff at The Huntsman were outstanding. We will definitely be coming back for another meal.

Drove over two hours to try chicken parmo after seeing a food influencer on you tube when arrived was early tea time and was quiet plenty of parking welcoming host the food was good but slightly to much sauce and not enough melted cheese on my parmo but enjoyed what I had

It is quite surprising that they only offer a 50% discount on the food challenge meal, as most places usually offer it for free upon completion. The owners seem to be a bit stingy.
