The Travellers Rest in Consett

What a treat. Popped in on a Tuesday night to find the place rather busy. One hard working waiter did a sterling job. Omelette was excellent. Prices and atmosphere are all excellent.

We have just left after having a absolutely wonderful meal. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. The lady who served us was friendly and chatty. We were shocked at the bill! For the quality of the food the price was excellent. We will definitely recommend and be back soon.

Popped here for some mid week tea! It wasn't too busy as it was bonfire night, but still plenty people in. Kids picked Mac & Cheese, served in the cutest little pots. Chicken Shwarma Flat Bread for me and it was amazing, plenty salad too. I got a side portion of fries, delicious. The chocolate fudge cake was also amazing 😍 portion size was huge. The service was brilliant, staff friendly, polite & helpful. They made effort with the children too which was nice, as it can be stressful taking your kids out. We will be back.

Visited one lunchtime and was surprised at how lovely this place is inside. Easy to get a table and we had not booked. It’s in an unappealing area of Consett (just my opinion), just slightly out of the centre and we had wrongly assumed it would be a bit run down inside. It wasn’t at all, it was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful, greeted with a beaming smile from the woman on the bar. We ordered our food at the table. Freshly cooked but if I’m honest the portions were small and the plates themselves were too small for the food and my fish kept falling into the table as I tried to cut it! I enjoyed my fish and chips but my husband was disappointed with his honey chilli chicken. A lot of his fries were all clumped together and the chicken breast was tiny. The plate was padded out with salad😂. He was unimpressed by the portion size for the cost of the meal. The decor is rustic and very nice and there are some free parking spaces outside. Would come back for a drink maybe but possibly not food as we didn’t think it was value for money compared to other local places. If you want friendly staff, a friendly atmosphere and choice of drinks, give it a go. If the food had been slightly better I’d have given 5 stars.

An amazing little jewel. Fabulous pub/restaurant. Service was fantastic - did not get the name of our server but he was amazing. Polite, friendly and game for a laugh. Fast efficient service with enough time between courses. Food was fresh, piping hot and delicious. A good old fashioned atmosphere. Plenty of parking available. I would highly recommend a visit to this pub.. Sunday lunchtime can be busy so booking is advised... .
