The Kingslodge is local to me and I have been there several times recently for different reasons, and not been disappointed. I have not needed to stay at the hotel so this review is about food and service in the restaurant. Without doubt, this is pub grub but nothing wrong with that and it's good pub grub. The service is good and the ambience warm and friendly. Good beer as well. Dogs are welcome in the bar. There is a good car park, it's free and within walking distance of the town centre. Ver carta

Ended up here as husband was on a delayed train Staff were excellent. No complaints here at all. Service was good. What wasn't good, was the fact that the sirloin steak was £23.50 and it didn't even come with chips. It was an extra £3 for 7 chips. Yes you read that right. 7 chips. Total bill over £60 for 2 glasses of wine, a cup of tea, Steak and chips and two starters (deep fried cauliflower with curry mayo and loaded chips). Cauliflower and curry mayo was lovely. Loaded chips weren't all that. All in all. Not worth the money.

We had the most beautifully cooked and presented pan seared rump of lamb with gratin potatoes and vegetables. Truly delicious! Followed by a generous serving of scrumptious rhubarb crumble and raspberry ripple custard. A great dinner which with wine , coffee and tip came to £35 per head. Just be aware the online menu was substantially different from the menu on the table neither of my two online choices turned out to be available in the real world. Also the potato gratin portion was so small I thought for a moment they had forgotten it so if hungry order a side or two. But everything we had was awesomely good!

Altho’ we have lived in Durham for a couple of years we had missed this gem. Very pleasantly unexpected surprise so close to centre and full of charm. This is a lovely old hotel just off the centre of Durham City with fabulous decor, lovely warm welcome and clean interior. Although large dining area lots of both large and small nooks for any type of meeting. Our lunch was also great and good value for money. Lovely service by Amelia and her colleagues. We had roast beef chicken lunches all the veg was just right with nice individual jugs of rich gravy. Well worth searching this restaurant out if in the centre ...only a short walk under famous railway viaduct on edge of forest/Greenland so ha... Ver carta

A friend and I visited on Tuesday 22nd August with the two dogs I am currently looking after. The pub is very dog friendly which was great. I had a lovely glass of cider and we found a cosy table. The pub was pretty quiet. Food was ordered. My starter of deep friend prawns was delicious and arrived after about 20 minutes. However, our main courses, which we chased up three times, didn’t arrive for well over an hour. We never got to try them as we were late for something else and had to leave. We did get a full refund but service and communication were very poor. We asked to have the food packed up so we could eat at home but we’re told they didn’t do a take away service so had nothing to pac...

We had pre-booked a table for 13 people for 2pm for Sunday lunch as it was our Mother's birthday. On arrival we were shown to a table for 4 people! After asking again about our booking the manager came over and said he would jiggle some tables around for us but there was also an hour wait for food. We ordered 9 Sunday lunches £14 for beef,£13 for pork), 1 vegetarian Sunday lunch £13) and 3 children's meals £7.50 each) I burger and 2 chicken goujons). After waiting an hour we were served barely warm meals, which 3 were sent back. The vegetarian gratin was a few pieces of sliced potato on top of mashed potato with a sprinkle of cheese on top and a tablespoon og gravy!. Some if the dinners had...

We arrived at 4.15 for a roast dinner. In the phone there said we might have slim pickings of meat due to lateness of booking but that was fine. On arriving found service to be poor at the bar especially when it wasn’t very busy at all. We were told they had all meats available which was good. We ordered our drinks and two bottles of wine. We then ordered our food after 15 mins so around 4.45. At about 5pm the food came and we were asked if we wanted any extra gravy, there was hardly any on the dinner in the first place, my husband could barely see where his was. Then I said my dinner is cold to which we found out that every dinner was cold. I put my finger into the mashed potato to check, c... Ver carta
