Stapylton Arms - County Durham

Walk through Hawthorn Dene with my wife and two dogs with the sole intention of a bite to eat and a drink or two. We placed ourselves outside as it was a beautiful day and I went inside to order. The owner and staff were good craic and we ordered two scampi and thick cut chips and mushy peas and salad for my better half. I also ordered fish fingers and petit poi’s for the dogs off the kids menu and explained that to the staff. The meal and service was top drawer and the dogs receive their fish fingers on a plastic plate. The meals were spot on as was the pub itself which is decorated to a high standard and we will definitely be back.

My wife and I visited this place around the teatime. parking is available on the parking lot. my wife had the chinese chicken curry with hand-cut chips, it comes with crackers or they could have torn off, or I had a bodega pizza that I swore to get a side order of chips as I wanted a gloomy, and the room for a jam pudding with custard. the whole food was excellent. I noticed other dishes on the menu I have to try back, but overall the food was excellent and the lady that served us was really nice and friendly

Excellent village pub staff are so friendly and helpful. the decor is beautiful and the food service is excellent we thai green curry and mint and dumplings. they were both so delicious and well presented. followed by stick toffee pudding and custard and a beautiful chocolate brownie and eis also in free nizza and beautiful walks through the nature reserve, on the route to the sea we would highly recommend and cannot wait to go back

Beautiful place to eat, drink and relax, good food and service.

Great eating a warm welcome and simply a great local pub.
