Visited the Farmera Arms in shadforth, durham, for an anniversary meal with my partner, chose thos venue because it was close to us, had good reviews and photos looked good. Venue was lovely, food was delicious and the 3 course meal for £10 was amazing value for money. Best meal I've had in a while. My only feedback is that the place could do with a paint touch up in some areas. But this is a minimal complaint in comparison with the food and deal we received. Tha k you

Absolutely beautiful food

I’ve visited a few times for the 3 courses for £10 deal and have been completely impressed by the quality, portions and service every time, as have the other diners in my party. It’s a lovely relaxed and friendly restaurant and bar. The staff are all incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Visited on a Saturday for lunch and had a lovely time. Great service, lovely drinks and beautiful food. Excellent value for money and importantly for us super dog friendly. Special mention for the chilli and garlic prawns and scotch egg.

I came to the farmers about 6 weeks ago and was so impressed by the quality and amount of food I have been recommending it to everyone!! However I visited again on Sunday and was very disappointed- the quality was still excellent but very poor amounts - we were still hungry. In addition we paid for a regular dinner which had 2 slices of meat and we paid extra for 2 meals with 2 types of meat but it was still only 2 slices - I therefore paid extra for them to cut meat from 2 joints rather than 1 ??? Not a good deal I am not sure what has changed but wouldn’t recommend it now - not value for money sadly !!!!
Simon
Food and service was excellent. Cool quirky interior and well priced too. Big shout out to our server Kieron who went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend.
Tina
