This place is so good! My wife and I popped in on a Tuesday night for dinner and we got so much more than we expected. Firstly the service was 5* (thanks Rebecca and Edward). Staff were so friendly, welcoming and kind. It’s dog friendly inside. The drinks were wonderful and reasonably priced. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were generous for what we paid. Now to the best bit, the upstairs! There are 3 stunning different rooms upstairs where you can eat and drink. All the rooms offer a different vibe but it’s like you’re in the Ivy in London.
We booked to come back immediately for another date night.
Lovely little place, missed by many I guess as it's not on the main strip. Over a couple of levels the downstairs offers a tidy little bar area with what looks like a good range of gins and cocktails if that's what you're after. Upstairs is more for eating and has a couple of different varied rooms.
Server was lovely, chatty and genuine - a bit of a change from some of the other places I've been to. Food menu was short but that seemed to mean they did each dish well. We had a 'proper' cheeseburger and a veggie lentil Dahl, plus a beer and cocktail - didn't shock me on the price and I'll definitely return when in town.
I contacted the restaurant in the week before and they recommended booking a table which I did. We were shown to a table next to a window which suited my daughter and me.
The other three people in our party chose something off the menu but I have dietary restrictions and I have written about my very positive experience below.
What a lovely place to eat and drink. I had a lunch here with a view of Durham Castle. Really nice rooms, great selection of drinks and I notice the menu now includes more vegan options.
Our first visit here, but certainly not our last. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by very friendly and attentive staff and the excellent service continued throughout. We had a table for 2 with stunning views of the
River Wear and Durham Castle.
The food certainly didn't disappoint either. The confit of duck was absolutely stunning and the Eton Mess to finish was the best I've ever had.
After finishing the staff managed to find us a table in the vip room where we finished with drinks.
Outstanding.
Great visit as a group of 8 for drinks..so many different gins available and all of guests more than happy with quality and service we received..and a lot cheaper than some bars along river walk. Beautifully decorated and fantastic atmosphere. Will be making Mr Fox a regular for drinks and already booked for food. Well done and thank you for a great visit.
What a great place this is!
Initially you think it is a cosy little bar then you realise, it is a collection of small rooms.
Gives it a lovely cosy atmosphere.
Great selection of quality drinks.
Food is amazing.
Kofte flatbread superb.
Sausage and mash delicious.
Warm and friendly staff.
Cocktails were delicious and Cameron and David were both absolutely lovely and had a nice chat with us 10/10 purely for them give them both a raise
Fantastic selection of beer on draught, food was fantastic and to a very HIGH standard, as a chef myself I wasn't expecting this high standard in the pub. The bey pork was very good indeed 👍🏻👍🏻 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Popped in as I saw the Ipswich legend Mr Eric gates at the door, he's one of the owners and being a Ipswich lad i couldn't resist having a chat about the old days at Portman road! Great venue, great bloke and a great footballer!
Amazing views, beautiful interior, and fantastic customer service. A little hidden gem reminding me of similar places you’d expect to see in London’s Soho; uprooted and placed in the heart of Durham
They fitted us in a group of 10, kitchen could only offer us burgers as they were nearly closing , but the food was excellent and staff was friendly and accomodating.
Didn't have anything to eat but my friends loved their large indivual pots of tasty tea and I enjoyed my orange juice!
Food was incredible with a beautiful view of the cathedral. Venue was amazingly decorated and the environment was ace. Definitely will be coming back in the future when I return to durham.
Excellent service particularly from Cameron. Delicious cocktails as well.
Visited several times during our recent visit to Durham. Lovely little bar. Friendly staff very obliging. Dog friendly too so thats a massive plus from us!
