The Waterhouse Kitchen in Darlington

Great little Cafe and room upstairs, nice food and staff friendly ,could do with updating.

Superb ham egg and chips, really enjoyed it. Quick and friendly service along with being great value, just what I was looking for, many thanks 🙂

This is a nice cafe right in the centre of Darlington. The breakfast was excellent and plenty of it. Very clean with polite and efficient staff. Good price too. Thanks!

Popped into this lovely cafe today for a spot of lunch and to escape the rain!We were immediately greeted by a very friendly lady who I think was the manager, she sat us down and gave us our menus. Food came very quickly and was delicious….club sandwich highly recommended!This coffee shop is run to a very high standard, with all the staff working as a team. Cleanliness was excellent with tables cleaned thoroughly and surrounding floors swept.Sunday lunch looked fabulous, we’ll be back soon to give it a try!

Unimpressed, 0 stars. Initially asked for a scone to be rudely told they aren't served on a Sunday as if it is something we should have known. Opted for a bacon sandwich instead. The bacon was still alive, grey, swimming in oil and big thick curls of pure fat. I wish I'd taken taken photo. I received no apology and the Manageress was totally unconcerned and just said theyd make another. I declined. I left the same review on Facebook and it was removed. Extremely poor service and quality!

Was here today with a friend ..and we had the best fish finger sandwich ever ..and a lovely pot of Fresh tea ..everywhere was clean and fresh.A gem of a place.the staff were so friendly..will definitely be calling again .thank you..x

Excellent, small friendly café serving quality food and choice of quality leaf teas. A real find and I would eat here again without hesitation. Very reasonably priced too.

Nice independent coffee shop with refreshingly nice coffee, staff out loverly and really good with all there vivid responsibility, decor is a little dated, if it was updated it could be a little treasure trove off a place

We discovered the Waterhouse kitchen recently (I have been walking around the area for the last few years but had somehow missed it) and found the food and experience brilliant.We were greeted politely at the door and the staff made sure that we had a good table upstairs. The waiting time was minimal. The food was very tasty (we had full English), with good eggs with golden yolks, grilled bacon, fried sausages, good mushrooms, hash browns, tomatoes, toast and baked beans. We really enjoyed the food and the staff did come and ensure that we were fine.The Sunday roasts looked very tasty and we look forward to trying that very soon.Bottom line: I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend the Waterhouse kitchen.

OK, so I ask what the veggi breakfast is.... Cafe:"we swap the sausages for veggi sausages, and miss off the bacon... Its the same price as standard breakfast"Me: "Please can I get an extra egg because I'm not having the bacon?"Cafe:"No we can't do that, it's not what we do"Me:🙄🤔😳 ffs not going back there again!PS. The tea was weak as.... 😩
