Causey Arch Inn - County Durham

After trying food at various locations, we found the food and staff here to be excellent. We highly recommend paying a visit, especially for the delicious Sunday lunch. The staff are friendly and very helpful.

Called in after visit to tanfield railway for Sunday lunch. We were told there was no children’s menu available and that my 3 year olds Sunday lunch would be the same price as an adults. I asked the waitress to double check that and she then came back with a different price. A very limited selection of soft drinks. Our drinks order came out wrong and the waitress let out a loud sigh while walking away to correct it. No mustard available to go with roast beef dinner, no toilet roll in the ladies toilets and mould on the wall in the men’s. Dirty looking dishcloth draped over radiator at the stairs entrance and cardboard boxes lying at the bottom of the stairs. Food portions were large but everything was pretty tasteless other than the stuffing and I wish I’d read the food hygiene rating before we called in.

A warm welcome from friendly and efficient staff. No waiting seated straight away and meal arrived promptly. Plate a bit piled high but tasted good.

Stayed in Beamish Park Hotel across the road 4th -8th August 2022 and after a day at Beamish Museum first day fancied a meal and drink How amazed we were with this place. Super friendly staff making all 4 of us really welcome.The meals were freshly prepared and extremely well presented.Cooked to perfection and served all together so we started and finished as a family.Even the local regular people made us all feel welcome and joined in conversation with us.This place was so good for the next three nights of our stay at the Beamish Park Hotel after a days outing we returned to the Causey Arch Inn to have evening meals and drinks, it was that good, the meals were outstanding and as always we were welcomed to the extent we were nearly classed as locals.I would urge anyone staying at the Beamish Hotel to walk over the road and try this place ,you will not be disappointed, but I believe impressed with everything from the atmosphere, the meals, drinks and local people who are genuine down to earth people who do not judge but welcome you as guests and friends.We are already planning our return and will give our custom to this place.Why go anywhere else when you have such an outstanding atmosphere staff, meals the whole 9 yards.Thank you to everyone for your welcome and service, we will see you again definitely.

First time visir, initally for drink only but extensive menu caught eye. Food was delicious Steak and Guiness Pie with double cooked chips and generous servings of seasonal veg and gravy. The mexican fajita was also generous and delicious. Happy hour from 4.30 to 7.30 with 10% off already resonable prices. Well worth a visit.
