| We use to go quite often to the Colliery Inn until an incident in late August. Three weeks before the incident I took my family for Sunday lunch, it cost me £52 which was ok, included in this was an empty plate for my grandson, he's only 21 mths and doesn't eat a great deal so we thought we'd give him a small portion off our plates. No problem the waitress gave us a plastic plate and a bowl beacause she said "I didn't know which one you would prefer", excellent. Two weeks late my daughter and Wife went for Sunday lunch, ordered the meals, asked for an empty plate and were told "there's a charge for the empty plate of £1, is that ok", they accepted. and the meal was ok, but I was fuming, £1 for an empty plate!. We don't go any more, well I don't, I was disgusted and surprised that they would compromise £52 worth of business every month (£624pa)by charging £1 for plate with nothing on it.

| I went there last year with my son & his girlfriend,though we had,nt booked a table was quickly cleared in the bar for us. service was quick & staff very friendly.As we had the 2 for £10 (paid little bit more for the 3rd person)we didnt expect the size of portions that we got.. I had Carbonarra wth a lovely garlic bread,while the others had gammon & scampi all lovely..Going back next month for birthday meal but will book in advance this time as it got very busy last time & it was only 7pm.[Report for Removal] | mags bishop auckland durham |

| Myself & 4 other people went to the Colliery Inn at the top of Crook for to celebrate my Wife's birthday after reading previous reviews & we were staying quite close , this was probably the worst meal I have ever had, not just me, but most of what was placed in front of us all I would not go back again even if it was free !!!! below is a summary of the issue's & the total cost was £125 Starters 3 people had mushroom melt, this was discribed by all as Raw mushrooms served in a bowl of tasteless soup 1 Person had Pate' straight from a cash & Carry I had a Black Tower, this consisted 3 slices of black pudding & some lettuce, when I asked for olive oil , I was informed there was none Main Course's 2 Surf & Turf's – One Steak ordered Medium , was medium , One steak ordered Well done was Medium at one side & Rare at the other , the surf bit was some tiny shrimps in a container the size of an egg cup in the same soup as the “Mushroom Melt” One T Bone steak ordered Rare , the steak was actually Grey in appearance and was at best medium , this was sent back & reordered , I dont know what sort of steak they sent out but it wasn't T bone and was still not Rare but probably Medium rare to medium , I ordered a Rare steak and got a medium rare steak , when I paid & complained the staff were not really interested – definitely a place to miss out , thank god the customer now has a means of reporting these rip off establishments![Report for Removal] | Alan Durham Durham |

| we have been for both evening meals and also Sunday lunch, it would seem that whatever the day or time the service and food is exceptional. The portions are more than enough and you certainly feel well fed afterwards. The staff are very polite and courteous. We would recommend to anyone looking at dining out.[Report for Removal] | Steve Willington Durham |

Along with the main course we were served seperate portions of two veg., chips, new potatoes and salad. Our meals were: 1 lasangne, 1 chicken curry & 2 liver & onions. Service was very friendly & prompt.[Report for Removal] | Mrs J Ashton Darlington Durham |

| We run a local B& B and send our guest there often for an evening meal. We get consistently good reports, and we've always enjoyed going there ourselves. I'd describe it as offering good pub food - and plenty of it! - in a friendly atmosphere. The cheesecakes in particular come highly recommended.[Report for Removal] | Jill & Rupert Richardson Crook County Durham |

| I have been twice now, just about to go for the third time, and have always found it friendly, with good food, and good service. Far better than some I've been to.[Report for Removal] | Joe Roscow Sacriston County Durham |
