Dunelm Lodge in County Durham

Good deals usually available. Makes for a cheap and cheerful meal out. Food is obviously frozen stuff bought in definitely- not fancy and freshly prepared stuff, but still fills a spot and is enjoyable enough. Often eat here, as we have a card and you get good deals. Have recently enjoyed the carvery. Nice relaxed atmosphere and ways clean and tidy with friendly staff.

Service poor - meals came out separately, so two of us had to wait whilst the other two started their meal. My menu choice was not available, so I had to change, and no refund offered for difference in price. Food quality poor. It wasn't even busy, but the service was very slow. Won't be back, sorry!

Brewers fayre is a brewers fayre. Cheap and cheerful, staff were really friendly, place was clean. Breakfast hit the spot and dinner was lovely as well. Just a roll out of bed and you're there.

We all had a great time, staff very friendly food good, children had a great time in play area. Good value for money. Will return. Children very content. Happy Days.😃😃

I was in a party of 11. Everyone liked their food. A member of staff even went through a folder containing ingredient lists to advise a gluten intolerant woman what dishes were suitable. I had 2 courses for £12.99 Christmas special deal. Pork lollipops starter was excellent. Very moist and flavoursome pork. Main course of turkey dinner was MASSIVE. Loads of turkey and all the trimmings you'd expect (including Yorkshire pudding) and all cooked and presented well. Nothing was too much trouble for the team of friendly staff. Breakfast was great too. Loads of choice. Staff are brilliant. Santa was there for the kids. Best santa I've seen. He came to our table to see us. All in all we had a great time

I never really expect much quality from chains but after a lunchtime visit yesterday during a long haul journey back to Skye I found myself being pretty surprised.Started with a sharing platter, beautiful fish goujons and tender chicken along with other sides.The main surprise was the 8oz sirloin steak with the extra sides, really well cooked and seasoned lump of meat, excuse the terrible photos, temporary phone being used.Looked after by the beautiful Paige we had good friendly pit stop and for a great price we left pleasantly stuffed.Glad we stopped by.

Great range of breakfast buffet and can select your own. Also includes a continental breakfast with the price. Refill costa coffee and orange or apple juice. Highly recommend as it fulls you up for the day. Free onsite parking although can get busy as its part of the Premier inn. Convenient location just outside the arnison centre retail park.

You can't help but like the staff here. They're always very pleasant. The food is Brewers Fayre.. Wholesome. Breakfasts are help yourself: well laid out, nothing missing for choices. This venue can get busy, but you will be accommodated if at all possible. Comfy old chairs for after meal chats available.

A good variety of tasty meals but first choices are not always available. If staying at the neighbouring Premier Inn, it's worthwhile booking in advance and also taking advantage of the meal deals If you like a bit more peace there is an area specially reserved for adult diners only and some choices can be taken out. Despite the pressures on catering staff these days everyone there was relentlessly attentive and helpful.

Had an evening meal alone and unfortunately, on a hot day, became forgotten about. Ordered and waited, nothing arrived in 15mins except more customers who also ordered and received their drinks. Couldnt attract attention as the staff didn't use the one way system they introduced, so noone passed my table. Eventually got starters and then drink arrived as I finished the starters. I only ordered a J2o lol. Main meal was unfortunately horrible, but you live and learn. Left with less than half a meal inside me. The one waitress was very polite but think the staff behind her were likely new or inexperienced. Can forgive the current situation obviously, but may look elsewhere on a return visit. Had breakfast thinking it can't go wrong twice, but it has changed alot since pre pandemic in what's available. Hope it returns to how it was when this is over, as prices have reduced by £1 for breakfast types, but it wasn't a great experience like you used to feel. Maybe not their fault..
