Dropped in for a spot of lunch ,the staff were faultless ,service faultless . Shown to a table ,menus offered ,drinks brought promptly and after a reasonable wait ,we were served well presented piping hot food . The food was cooked perfectly and for the price was good value ,I can recommend this location ,it had a great atmosphere and was full of people enjoying themselves .
Had a family meal tonight & we agreed it is the best meal we have had in Darlington. We all ordered different meals & every single one was perfect. The waiting staff were lovely, we couldn't fault anything and we are very particular! We'll definitely be back when we visit - do you fancy expanding in Scotland? �
Just been for an anniversary meal. It was so good. The service was excellent. Very attentive staff. Friendly and professional. The meal was perfect. Will definitely return.
Would like to thank all the staff yesterday for my baby shower and all they did for me. Would highly recommend.. so helpful and great service thank you so much!
We called by chance yesterday tea time with our two young grandchildren - we looked for a table but all were reserved however when we asked we were told we could have a table in the bar but there may be a little wait for food - there was no noticeable wait and the children's meals were brought first - always good.
Our food was excellent and service was brilliant .. Especially liked the interaction between the staff and our grandchildren. We will definitely return and pre-book a table next time - thanks again �
Went to a private party last night. Staff were fab and food was delicious. Definitely recommend.
So just got back from The Mowden. Thanks to the lovely team there tonight. We all enjoyed our food. Highlights were, the mussels and chips and the fish and chips. The classic burger was very filling according to the youngest. I had Italian beer and the black sheep ale was delicious according to O.H.then it was pudding. Me and first born shared the brownie which was really lovely. Chris said his brioche bread and butter pudding was very good ( high praise). We all thought the place has a fab atmosphere as we ate outside and everything was fresh and tasty. We will be back, probably with Arnold �next time. Cheers. Helen Fidell
Steak pie very nice and filling, pleasant staff, would highly recommend, now it's under new management and know how to run a pub, will be calling again �
We've been coming here for quite a while now but The Mowden seems to be getting even better lately. Our meal last night was mouth watering and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or attentive, needless to say, we'll be back soon!
Great food, great service and fab atmosphere. Family of seven well looked after and staff couldn't do enough to help us! Thanks!
I’ve had the pleasure of eating in the Mowden a number of times, always great service, always great food. Simon and his team have breathed life back into the Mowden and made it the best it has been in a long time.

Apologies for the late review.
We recently saw an advert for this place for New Years Eve, live band and buffet, and it looked interesting. So decided to go check it out and have a drink see if we liked it.
Within minutes of having a drink we had booked for new years eve, and already decided to come back for some food one day, as we saw the food coming out from the kitchen and it looked amazing.
Anyway on the 2nd visit we literally couldn't chose from the menu as everything sounded really nice, so we decided to get a load of starters and just experience what we could.
Wow, this place can cook food. The chef deserves a special mention here as evey single dish was cooked to perfection.
Ended up full to the rafters , so decided on the creme brulee and a couple of baileys hot chocolates to settle the stomachs 😂.
I cannot recommend this place enough, and we will be going back on our Fridays off for sure.
Thanks you for the excellent food, exemplary service and welcoming atmosphere.
See you before New Year's Eve
Lovely food and very clean. Definitely recommend.
Food was spot on and a good size portion i had the bao buns they were amazing and massive. Not to expensive and friendly staff. If you go for food they serve it at set time we went on a Friday afternoon and they started to serve food from 5pm but the pub its self is open all day. So i would ring before you go just to check.
Great service , delicious food ! The staff is so warm and nice. I highly recommend this cozy pub to anyone who likes good ambience, drinks and food ! You won’t be disappointed.
Excellent premises recently reopened under new management tastefully redecorated pleasant atmosphere. Good menu Good food drinks reasonably priced well worth a return visit 😀
Popped in after work for food and the staff were amazing as I am gluten free they were very knowledgeable on what I could and couldn’t have
Would definitely recommend as the food was fantastic
Food was good, generous portions and a good spot for lunch.
