What the Guides Say…

The Good Food Guide team has just published their 2010 edition and once again the R&C is a main entry with the highest score in Co Durham. They write… ‘It is 20 years since Chris and Alison Davy put their names above the door of this showpiece inn overlooking Romaldkirk village green… and it shows in every detail… the bar is spot on for lunch and supper… the elegant candlelit restaurant is a more sedate affair’.

‘This 18th century creeper clad coaching inn is much admired... we were impressed by the meal, the service and the hospitality... excellent in every way'
