The Comet Hotel in Darlington

Good friendly staff and warm welcome to all

Always a lovely experience Lesley and Peter are warm and welcoming . Kind and friendly v

Sadly the Comet is currently closed (September 18,19 2021). I do hope it reopens as the village really needs a pub. I've rated it on the last time I visited (pre covid).

5* Sunday lunch, was asked if we had enough of everything, Asked for extra veg and this was provided. Good choice of meats. Great selection of starters and sweets! Staff are all lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The only downsides are that regulars book week after week and sometimes it's difficult to get a table, which speaks for it's self really! And that they are not open for food more often!

Brought our friends from Newcastle here for a meal on Fri 14th Sept, when we arrived we were told it was fully booked, so we asked if it was ok for us to just have a drink, the landlady was very nice and welcomed us in, it has a very pleasant atmosphere when you first go in, the landlady came over to us 10 minutes later and said she had found us a table, we were very grateful. My friend and I had the Rib Eye steaks and the wife’s had the Lasagna, steaks were cooked to perfections and the lasagnas were beautiful, the service was excellent especially from Faye the waitress who couldn’t do enough for us. Overall a very friendly and welcoming country pub, we will definitely be returning, oh and Faye we owe you a big tip. Thank you

Really unique decor. Lovely meal

Nice bar staff love the pictures and other things around the pub will defo come back

Very ordinary pub but I liked the plants on the frontage

An absolute gem!Thursday lunch at the Comet was excellent - generous portion of white, moist cod with a light crisp batter , homemade chips and a heart shaped (nice touch) bowl of mushy peas. Fish and chips wouldn't be the same without 'em. Finished off with crumble and custard. Home cooking at its best with a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent home cooked food, including proper home made chips. Service good, with friendly staff. There are two areas, ones like a farmhouse living room, individuals chairs and open fire, the other like a farmhouse dining room, again with an open fire.Food appears locally sourced, the only downside is if you're a veggie, Egg & Chips was the only option on the menu.They have a good selection of real ales........its the sort of pub, that if you went for a beer, would end up having more one :).
