The Garden House Inn

Was out for the day in Durham with our dog and called in the Garden House on the spur of the moment as we had herd it had re opened. So pleased we did good cheap drinks, nice value food and dog friendly, The manage Andy and his staff could not do enough to make us feel at home. We enjoyed a lovely meal and nice drinks. Good choice from the bar for both drinks and food. Also has an amazing garden.

We tried this place after we heard about the new management and opening, we thought it was great with good food and drinks at amazing price’s! 3rd visit on a Friday night was terrible, bar full of county hall staff on a party, told the manager and just shrugged his shoulders, Next thing was the prices have gone up on the drinks, 40p a pint the manager said but it was 50p on moreti! Jäger had nearly doubled in price also. Our meal which we had to sit in the restaurant for because of the noise was plain and missing our nan breads which we received after 10 minutes! Conclusion New management in and cheap prices but they were wrong prices after 3 weeks he said 🤷‍♂️. Bad management and service so we won’t return

Tried this tonight and impressed with the new management. A couple of decent beers at reasonable prices, pub food at pub food prices. Appears to be home cooked with decent portions. Service was good and properly dog friendly! I think this may revert back to being my preferred local!

Great welcome, cosy but spacious atmosphere. Superbly fresh Thai chicken and vegetable rolls with soy and honey dip, and excellent triple cooked chips. Excellent house Malbec too, as recommended by Sara. Service is spot on. Thoroughly recommend this!
