"Our one-night stay was very good. We traveled from South Yorkshire to visit friends in Spennymoor and decided to stay overnight. The rooms were very nice, albeit a bit small, but perfect for a short stay. They seemed to be newly renovated as the bathroom fittings, large TV, and decor were all up to date. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced for the quality. The bar was also great, with a large TV and two more showing sports. It was quite busy on a Saturday night, but all the locals were friendly and there was a good, safe atmosphere. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area."

"We visited here for Sunday lunch while we were staying nearby . 6 of us had the carvery it was very busy but very well organised . The staff asked us which meats we wanted then they brought 6 plates up to the hot server and told you to come up to fill the plate with your veg . I chose the beef it was piping hot and melted in your mouth . The veggies were plentiful even towards the end of service the chef was still filling it up . The next table were invited up when we moved away ,so there wasn't a big queue of people at once . I noticed they were plating up take away aswell . If I was in the area again I would make a detour to go, it was one of the best carvery I have ever had ."

"Had the Sunday dinner, veg were the too hard healthy option which nobody likes, the rest of the meal was just ok, didnt have much taste, this place also likes to hike up the prices with optional extras that most people will order anyway, I dont agree with this, it should be in with the meal. Come see for your self and support your local pubs before they all dissapear. Service: Dine in"

"Visited here for our anniversary meal. A lovely pub and place to eat overall. We both had starters and had a parmo for the main. The chips were delicious and got loads of them! The parmo wasn't the best we've had but fairly nice. The chips made the meal though. It was very busy when were we here so highly advisable to book as a couple we past on way in must of waited around 40 minutes who hadn't booked. Will definitely return."

"I discovered Pedros about 3 years ago a few weeks before I moved away from spennymoor. We really enjoyed our food, and when we moved we would joke saying that we missed pedros and said that it was sad that none of the local takeaways were as good. Today, I had to return to spennymoor to visit a family member so we thought that we should visit pedros for a quick bite to eat. We drove for 20 minutes trying to call but there was never an answer. After finally getting to pedros there was two customers in (current maximum due to COVID) and neither of them were wearing a mask. After standing inside for about 10 minutes, one of the three girls at the front finally asked, what my order was ... I told her I hadn’t even ordered yet!!! Then once I ordered I paid, already disappointed at the service already, she then tells me that it’s cash only. Great during a pandemic when everyone is asking to pay contactless. No excuse really, not in this day and age. Clearly there’s a reason that they don’t accept card! Then it gets better ... after paying and she gives me my change ... she THEN tells me it’s over half an hour for the food. What a joke. I walked back to my partner in the car and told him and he said that we should just get our money back ... at this point there was a queue out the door for people to be served. I am so disappointed in the service. If it’s going to be 30 minutes for food when you go in and order that’s just a joke. 30 mins for collection or delivery then fine. Hell I’ll wait longer, no problem. But after calling for 20 minutes, waiting 10 minutes inside to even be spoken to, then to be told it’s 30 minutes for food well after already paying. Also another customer asked if the takeaway had any menus no they did not. What takeaway doesn’t have menus. She told him to look at the Facebook page ... after looking at all three pages on Facebook when driving over to spennymoor, what’s the point in checking their Facebook page because it’s either 2019 or 2016 the last time they updated the page, so you have no hope of that being the correct menu ... oh and guess what, it’s not. The prices are different. What a joke, the three girls working on the 15th of August really need to be spoken to about their customer service. I’ve worked in hospitality for 4 years so I understand what it’s like to work in a busy and high intense environment but the lack of service is disgusting. Here’s to seeing if the food is just as good and sadly, even if it’s super tasty, I still give it a 1 star because of bad service. I won’t be coming back, regardless of taste! Disappointing!"
