Eggleston Hall Cafe and Tearooms in County Durham

Very pleasant inside and outside seating. Our panini's were delicious with quality ingredients and very well presented. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. It's also the little things like a good sized teapot and separate hot water jug, that differentiates great from good. With ample parking, birds chirping and a bit of sun, it's an excellent spot.

We arrived at 15.20 to be told they were closed when the sign said last orders were at 15.30. I was told they had run out of food and milk. Sounds like poor planning to me.

Warm welcome Covid aware cleaning stations on entry plus track & trace. Hot Food freshly prepare & nicely presented. Good choice of gifts. Seating indoors & plenty outside too but sadly not all undercover.

I had booked the afternoon tea for 3. Fantastic value for money. Lovely selection of sandwiches, savouries and sweet treats :-) with tea or a choice of drinks. Will definitely go back again. We also went round the gardens too.

Great place with super lovely staff. Good gluten free options available (try the fish cakes AMAZING!!) Dogs are welcome and you can sit inside or out. They also take reservations which I recommend as they can get busy at times. All the food is beautifully presented and cooked fresh to order, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the ingredients which is very good for allergy sufferers like myself. Good quality coffees and teas available and a mouthwatering selection of cakes and puddings. As if you would need anything else there is also a super plant nursery to look round and a gift shop, definitely well worth a visit.

A must to visit. The food is great. Wonderfully produced home made food. Beautiful place to visirHigh quality the beef melts in your mouth. Just the right amount of food for your plate. Not too much, not too little. Clean, nice and tidy cafe with a nice little shop next door.

I like Eggleston Hall Gardens and café. I have visited a few times over the years and have always enjoyed the food. There's plenty of choice on the menu and all of very good quality. Service is prompt and staff friendly. In good weather it is well worth wandering around the gardens which are lovely. Staff are on hand if you want to buy any plants. The gift shop has some lovely and unique items but is not cheap.

Always friendly staff, pleasant and helpful. The food is delicious. We were here for lunch today, every thing was hot and freshly cooked. Coffee and cakes,well worth a visit.

Couldn't fault our lunch. Always something a little bit different on the menu. Can't wait to try afternoon tea - several visitors had booked and the selection looked amazing. Made enquiries and there are a few choices of menu. Reasonably priced too.

Took my Mum for breakfast 16.06.18, fabulous perfectly poached eggs. Don't get here as often as we'd like (living in Darlington) but it's well worth the effort. Lovely place, staff and the food never disappoints
