Arkengarthdale Gunnerside and Reeth Moors​附近的餐廳

Nestled in a secluded area near Barnard Castle, this restaurant offered a dining experience that was almost flawless. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, and our choices for the evening were both diverse and delightful. The steak frites was an undeniable highlight—cooked to perfection with a crispy, golden portion of fries that complemented the tender, flavorful steak beautifully. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. Equally impressive was the chicken parmo, which came with a perfectly breaded coating and a rich, cheesy topping. It was indulgent, comforting, and utterly satisfying. The focaccia bread was a lovely nibble—warm, fragrant, and with just the right balance of crusty exterior and soft, airy interior. It added a rustic charm to the meal and was excellent for dipping into the accompanied red pepper hummus. The service was another highlight of the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a memorable experience. From thoughtful recommendations to impeccable timing, they added a personal touch that elevated the meal. Unfortunately, the dessert left us slightly underwhelmed. The pineapple tart, while visually stunning, was overly tart and carried a surprising hint of spice that felt too overpowering for our tastes. While creative, it lacked the balance we were hoping for in a sweet finale. Overall, this restaurant impressed us with its savory dishes and exceptional service, but the dessert could use some refinement to match the excellence of the earlier courses. A strong 4/5, and we would happily return for another meal—just maybe not for the pineapple tart.

The food and service were exceptional. It is quite expensive but that is reflected in the quality of the food. The interior decor let’s the experience down as it is not as tasteful as the menu (particularly the waiting/lounge area) but that shouldn’t put anybody off going if excellent food is top of the priority list

Great venue and great restaurant. Upon arrival the hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Had a drink in the bar area first and were given menus but we were not rushed at all. The food was really good, both starters and both mains could not be faulted with my Wife describing the market fish main course the best fish dish she’s ever had ! We both feel the restaurant could have been a little warmer but this would not put us off returning.

The food was delicious and the team created a lovely atmosphere

Modern English food, carefully prepared and presented. The oak- panelled and candle-lit dining room provides a great atmosphere
