We've also had Sunday lunch - a bargain and the burgers are really good too. I doubt you'd regret trying anything on the menu. Another bonus to this place is they allow you to take your dog!

This was absolutely classy. Everything from the Game Terrine starter, via the sizzling beef platter to the cheese platter and the mini dessert platter (ideal when you want a bit of everything). Posh nosh really, but it was Christmas and work paid for it. Would love to repeat it again soon, just to see if it always this good!

Call me pernickety if you will, but when I'm paying over £20 in service charge, I expect my…read morewaitress to actually deliver the cheese I order. Is this too much to ask or has diligence been flushed down the toilet along with manners, of which she too, was devoid. This was the cherry on the icing of what became a slightly soured cake over the course of two hours at the White Room in Seaham Hall. But before you cancel your reservation, let me add that carelessness was strictly limited to service, and only on this visit. On previous outings, service at the White Room has been spotless. On every occasion, food has been excellent. A terrine of chicken liver and foie gras with pea purée, apple and pea shoots was exquisite. Similarly, a main of belly pork was mouth watering with celeriac purée and roasted parsnip. Kenny Atkinson's cooking is faultless. It is just a shame that front of house let him down. When my cheese selection finally arrived, that too was exceptional, with over thirty varieties including a delightfully runny Époisses. I recommend a visit to the White Room as value for money is outstanding, not to mention the beautiful surroundings. You just better hope that your meal ends up on your plate and not on your lap.

My family and I have been to The Harvester on many occasions…read more So much so the waiting staff remember our faces (embarrassing) The staff are extremely friendly and I always get a great service. We often take friends for food and not heard a bad word come from them yet. Everything iv ordered in the past from mix grill to the burger to fish and chips have always been great. I like my steak medium rare and with the area I come to expect it to be over done. Not here, it's done perfectly. Only bad word I have to say about the place is the bathrooms are a bit on the small side, this is something I'm sure people will forgive given the great food and service to match. Look forward to returning soon.

Been to Mill house a few times over the years for Christmas lunch with work etc and always thought…read moreit was ok. But, went recently on a Sunday as heard good things about it. What an experience! Bad one at that, really bad. Got hearded into the front bar and left squashed in the entry for about 5 minutes. Finally got our names put down then got drinks from the bar. Waited around 45 minutes to be seated. When eventually seated we were ignored for around 15 minutes more while a pair of waitresses banged and crashed tables and chairs next to us, really wanted to walk out but we had waited so long was afraid no where else would be open. I asked if we were going to be served drinks and I was told someone will be sent over. Another 10 minutes passed and I had to ask again. Food order was took and this came out with drinks another 10 minutes later. Medium sized yorkshire pudding that is like a crisp that probably got made the night before, mashed potato that tasted ok but no seasoning, bland over boiled vegetables that all tasted of each other, and a cold slice of beef. Thin gravy that was probably the best part of the dinner as had some taste. I wasas disgusted with my experience and will never go back - if you like being treated like cattle and are happy with bland, small portions, partly cold food with rubbish service then this is for you! If on the other hand you dont want your sunday ruined by being stressed and un appreciated, try somewhere else!
