The Old Well Inn - County Durham

This is tough as the staff and customer service were great but the food was dire. This is our 3rd bad experience here. Once told off for raping instead of just being asked to go outside, once for autistic grandson being told off for bad behaviour and now, far more recently vile food. Curry was inedible. I'm not a fussy eater but this was gross. Fish chips were fine, standard. But in fairness I got offer of another dish but went for full refund. Staff were polite and handled situation perfectly but honestly I've never seen or tasted such a revolting curry. Three strikes and I'm out. Won't be going back again. Sorry old well. Lovely beer garden though!!

Just finished lunch here. Excellent quality, portions and value. First time we’ve been here in a while and it hasn’t disappointed

Chicken Bhryhani amazing. Reasonabling priced Staff friendly and welcoming. Best place to eat in Barnatd Castle. Definitely be back.

Decent service and very good food, tired pub decor and furniture let it down a bit.

A really great evening with friends. Food delicious, no stress or pressure: really relaxing and friendly atmosphere.
