The Bay Horse in Darlington

Food was very good, really enjoyed it, and two courses were enough from the main menu. the staff could be more friendly, but may have been busy - didn't have to wait long for meal. Will definitely be back.

Visited as a family of 6 for Sunday Lunch. It was a last minute booking and we were recommended to eat here. The stay were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious and although we are not local we will not hesitate to visit again when we are in the area.

Had a pleasant lunch here. Very well presented. Good service. Tasty. Still needed tea later though.

Just superb. The standard of the food and service was just exceptional. It must be near Michelin star standard. All of our 3 courses were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. I am so glad that we were able to get a table on our recent trip to Yorkshire. If you are in the area, treat yourself you will not be disappointed.

Honestly one of the best meals I have eaten. I'm a big foody and travel alot in London for work, often eating out and this is hands down one of the best meals I have eaten. The sticky beef was exceptional, truly falling apart with a stunning amount of flavour. The pressed Belly Pork was also brilliant, with a lovely salty (but not over powering) taste and a delicately thin layer of crackled belly fat.We didn't intend on eating dessert but after the triumph that was our main we just had to and we were not disappointed!

Really nice tasty food but the plates could have been hotter. My main went cold before I finished it (I am a slow eater). Still that's an easy one to fix.

Delicious food, reasonably priced ( we had the Prix Fixe menu £16.75 for 2 courses and £21 for 3) plus a very nice bottle of wine.Helpful and pleasant staff - good service and not hurried. Pretty and atmospheric with a real fire. There is an outdoor area too for when n the weather is better. Parking can be a bit tricky

Amazing as always!!!!!!Absolutely love the food here. Delicious as always, also had a very tasty bottle of prosecco.I also have to add - I fell (completely my own fault) coming into the pub. The staff were lovely and brought me ice for my ankle! Thank you for looking after me.

Great service from start to finish. Chose the amazing value 3 course set meal myself and my friend chose from the lunch menu. Food was so tasty, inventive. Couple of things I wasn't overly impressed with in my 3 courses but overall very impressed.

Since I last came the menu has greatly improved and now seems both refined and complete with many dishes I would have loved to explore.The bread that came before the meal was baked in house and was especially tasty. I ordered off the market menu which gives £30 for three courses. Despite me ordering it for the contents, the price is fantastic! Every dish was great and it came with vegetables for the table.Service was great and it's a lovely place to dine at. Will definitely visit again.
