This is one of those restaurants in consett that everyone rants and raves about but like everyone I've been to its below average don't get me wrong it's probably the most scenic but if u can't mash potatoes and make a decent steak and ale pie then it's not the kinda place I wanna visit again HARD PASS!

Called in for a pint as new people in the area. Had a couple in the dated mismatched furniture and thought oh well they are new tenants. WOW ! Donât ask to leave your car in their car park if you fancy a wander next door. Itâs a no go. As a anti drink driver I will not move my car after one pint. But wo betide trying to leave your car here. Flat lager and not much bon amiAvoid !!I'm sorry you had a poor experience but I'd like to clear up a couple of things.Firstly sorry for treating your initial request for leaving your car and "Going for a drink up the other pub" not very seriously as I actually thought you were joking around, once I realised you were serious you were told it was fine as long as it wasn't too long (quite reasonable imho)Secondly I think the dated decor is quite charming.Thirdly I'm treating your flat lager comment as a positive as you had 2! Must be something intriguing about it.

Visited today food in cafe well cooked and very tasty.Went to pay at bakery picked up a packet of stotties decided to take cakes home looking at cakes was about to ask for a peach Melba 3 on tray in cabinet older lady rushed over past young girl who was serving me and muttered about someone usually comes in on a Saturday and she would keep them for her so I asked where they all gone the young girl looked very embarrassed and said sorry.I think customers who are at the counter should be served instead of keeping items for people who might come in .Older lady should go on a customer care course as all of the young staff where very efficient.Food 5star .However will not return.

My first time here (although my wife has been before with her shopping buddies). We called in for lunch after an 'exhausting' shopping expedition and I was immediately struck by the quirky nature of the surroundings....loved it ! I ordered the mac'n'cheese and it did not disappoint....creamy, cheesy, cooked perfectly....and filling!The service was excellent (including the owner) apart from a dead-eyed blonde who didn't seem to care whether we ordered anything or not.However, this is a place I would return to any time !

We visited the Farm Shop and Granary Cafe on Saturday 17/08 after being recommended by some friends. We called in for breakfast; I had eggs benedict and my husband had the full breakfast, both meals were excellent. We were shown to a table by i assume the manageress, very dark hair and high heels on. She was very welcoming and quickly took a drinks order while we were looking at the menu. The food as I mentioned was tasty and reasonably priced, we later purchased some of the homemade sausages from the butchers counter. Here we were served by a tall man wearing glasses who was very friendly and knowledgable, a credit to your team, he explained all the sausages are made on site which is quite the feat! We also went on to buy a selection of the various pork pies on offer, this time served by a petite blonde lady who again was very courteous and pleasant, she patiently explained the differences between the pies (so many to choose from!). We concluded our tour of the shop by selecting a giant snowball and a slice of Guinness cake from a young dark haired lady at the cake counter, she seemed very happy to be at work which is refreshing to see, especially on a sunny Saturday! Finally we were served at the till by a lady with very long dark hair wearing glasses, she too was a credit to your business. Very pleasant and mentioned the Guinness cake is one of her favourites and she hoped we enjoyed it. You may notice I have gone to great lengths to describe the staff we encountered in the hope that they may receive the recognition they deserve. Too often people are quick to comment on things they may find unfavourable, without considering the bigger picture. Myself and my husband truly enjoyed our visit to Knitsley and can not wait to return. The staff are a true testament to the way a small family run business can last a lifetime if it has the right people behind it. Thank you.Thank you so much for the fantastic review - but more than that a huge thank you for taking the time to personally note the staff that you interacted with during your visit, it means a huge amount to both them and ourselves. From your detailed descriptions I can name the staff that served you and have personally thanked them for their continued fantastic efforts in customer service and they have been very buoyed by your review. It is all to easy in this day and age to moan about the slightest aspect and forget that staff are human and small/family businesses have huge daily hurdles to face, but we know that our staff delivery great service and a review of this nature is fantastic recognition of that. No one is perfect, we can all have a moment where we're not on top form, but 3 of the staff you mentioned have been with us for over 9 years, and the other 2 for around 3 years, and this review is a great testament to not only them but the team as a whole. As a small family business we have grown over the past 11 years from employing 5 staff in 2008 to 45 local people - a fact we are hugely proud of and we thank each and every member of the team from production to front of house - so thank you again for direct recognition for them, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
