AlfrescoNapoli
1st

AlfrescoNapoli

Verified
4.8(105 reviews)
94/100
AlfrescoNapoli is a gem of an Italian eatery in Newton Aycliffe, serving up delicious food and warm service, though the ordering process could do with a modern update.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – especially the pizzas and garlic dough balls, which are packed with flavour and feel really authentic.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • The ordering system is a bit outdated and can take ages, which puts a damper on the overall experience.
  • It's more of a takeaway with a sit-in area rather than a proper restaurant, so it might not feel as polished for a relaxed evening out.

The Royal Telegraph is a cracking little pub in Newton Aycliffe with cheap beers, a cosy feel, and friendly faces, though it's cash only and skips on the food front.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of beers and spirits at really affordable prices, making it a budget-friendly spot for a pint.
  • Super friendly and welcoming staff who create a warm, homely atmosphere right from the get-go.
Areas for Improvement
  • No food available on site, so you'll need to sort out a bite to eat elsewhere before heading in.
  • Cash only payments, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're used to tapping your card.

The Hammer and Pincers is a real gem of a pub with brilliant vibes for events, tasty grub, and a welcoming atmosphere that'll have you coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely delicious, with generous portions that leave you satisfied – I hear the Parmo is a must-try if you're up for a local treat!
  • It's got this fantastic outdoor space with festival-inspired seating and marquees, perfect for weddings, parties, or just soaking up the vibes with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • There are some issues with the toilets and showers, which could do with a bit of an upgrade to match the rest of the venue's high standards.
  • The website is a bit sparse right now, just saying 'COMING SOON!', so it might not give you all the info you need before heading over.

The County is a charming village pub with tasty food and welcoming vibes, perfect for a relaxed meal or overnight stay, though service might not always be as snappy as you'd hope.
Pros and Cons

  • Some dishes fall short of expectations, like the Sunday roast that one person found disappointing and overpriced for what it offered.

  • The food is spot on – hearty, well-prepared dishes with generous portions that leave you satisfied.
Areas for Improvement

  • Some dishes have been described as lacking flavour or being a tad dry, which is a shame given the high standards elsewhere.

The Bay Horse Inn is a charming traditional pub in a quaint village, offering a warm welcome, cracking food, and a great drink selection – it's a real gem for a relaxed get-together, though it does get hectic at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cosy, traditional atmosphere with classic oak beams and a roaring fire makes you feel right at home, especially on a chilly evening.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of award-winning beers, real ales, gins, wines, and malt whiskeys – perfect for a proper pint or a sophisticated sip.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy, leading to long waits for drinks or food, which might put a dampener on your visit if you're in a rush.
  • Some menu items aren't always clearly described, like unexpected dressings on salads, which could surprise you if you're picky about that sort of thing.

87/100
The Phoenix Club, once the Newton Aycliffe Royal British Legion, is a friendly local spot with tasty food and lively entertainment, earning high marks for its welcoming feel, though it has a couple of niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think delicious Christmas lunches with perfectly cooked Yorkshire puddings that leave you wanting more.
  • It's a brilliant place to catch up with mates; the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, especially with regular entertainment like line dancing on Thursdays and shows over the weekends.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a shame they've cut ties with the Royal British Legion and renamed it the Phoenix Club – some people miss the traditional elements, like not selling poppies anymore.
  • There have been a few grumbles about things like the TV choices; one chap was gutted when they switched from England rugby to football, which spoiled the moment for him.

The Scout Centre in Newton Aycliffe is a charming community spot with a solid 4.3 rating, ideal for events and gatherings, though it has some quirks with its hours and online info.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Scout Centre has a really welcoming atmosphere, perfect for hosting all sorts of events like parties, christenings, or even weddings – it's got that community feel that makes everything special.
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant; they're friendly, helpful, and great with kids, which makes it a top spot for family gatherings or scout activities.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours seem a bit unpredictable, with it only being open four days a week, which might make it tricky to pop in spontaneously or plan around.
  • There's not much of an online presence – no website listed and it's unclaimed on Google – so it could be a hassle trying to get the latest info or book something.

Gretna Green Wacky Warehouse is a cracking family spot at the hotel, packed with fun activities and friendly vibes, but it's best to plan ahead for the crowds.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're so helpful and welcoming, making sure everyone has a smashing time, like Tracy and the team who go above and beyond for parties and dietary needs.
  • It's a proper fun haven for the little ones with loads of slides, ball pits, and even an outdoor play area, plus top-notch facilities like disabled access and free WiFi for the grown-ups.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get incredibly busy on weekends and school holidays, so you'll want to ring ahead to avoid disappointment and long waits.
  • There are some strict rules about adults in the play areas, which might make you feel a bit awkward if you're trying to join in with the kids, as one experience showed.

The Gretna Green is a welcoming pub that's spot on for families and budget-conscious folk, with solid food, great deals, and a fun play area to boot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food offers brilliant value for money, like their Tuck in for a tenner deal, making it easy on the wallet for a satisfying meal.
  • Staff are always friendly and welcoming, going the extra mile to make everyone feel at home, especially with little ones in tow.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, the fresh items like salads don't quite hit the mark, as some have mentioned browning lettuce, which can put a dampener on the meal.
  • It might feel a bit standard for those after something more unique, as it's your typical pub fare without many surprises.

Blakes Sports & Lounge Bar is a welcoming spot in Newton Aycliffe for a casual pint and some friendly chats, but it's got a few rough patches that keep it from being top-notch.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're friendly, welcoming, and really make you feel at home, like chatting about local football passions or just having a laugh.
  • You can count on a decent pint here, which is always a treat for a relaxed evening out.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit on the grubby side sometimes, with that whiff of cheap bleach and a general need for a spruce-up to make it feel fresher.
  • There's not a lot happening beyond the basics – no bar food on offer, and it can feel a tad quiet or lacking in entertainment options.

The Box

The Box is a bar in Newton Aycliffe that's still under the radar, with no buzz yet, but it might just be a diamond in the rough once it opens.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's tucked away in Parsons Court, Newton Aycliffe, which could make for a cosy, hidden gem once it's up and running – perfect for a quiet pint with mates.
  • As a new or lesser-known spot, there's potential for fresh vibes and undiscovered charm that might surprise you in a good way.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's currently closed, so you won't be able to pop in for a drink anytime soon, which is a bit of a downer.
  • With no reviews or online presence to speak of, it's hard to get a feel for the place, leaving you in the dark about what it's really like.
