My partner’s beetroot salad was delicious and the father’s prawn cocktail was “scrumptious” in his words. The main courses were generous, quick and beautifully presented. The pork belly was really good (not too fatty) with a generous portion of crackling. The chicken breast was very nice and the steaks were cooked to perfection. A special mention to the chips which were crisp and one suggested piece of advice is to crisp up the Yorkshire Puddings. The Virgin Mary’s were nice and spicy. As a veteran of the drink I can say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Overall we would recommend this for a lovely Sunday lunch in Sedgefield.

Everything about the weekend was fantastic. The hotel rooms were brilliant. But the main thing was the staff that attended to us Saturday night and throughout Sunday were absolutely amazing. The team that were working the Saturday night and through the Sunday morning/afternoon are a credit to The Impeccable Pig. They couldn't of done enough for us and were just lovely people! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone! Thank You! Service: 5

The bedroom was beautiful and we were happy with the room We went for dinner and again despite a mid week it was almost 30 minutes for someone to take a food order and ages for drinks to arrive. The food was ok but my steak was rare when I asked for medium. The staff were all very polite but just unfortunately very slow and very short staffed. 1 person on a bar is not enough and that was their excuse for 15 minute wait for a drink to arrive. Breakfast again took a while because they said they had a table full to serve first. There were only us and one full table in the whole place. I'd hate to think if it was actually busy. Such a nicely decorated place. It would make a huge difference if there were more staff covering things. We would stay again but only because the rooms look great but customer service needs some work. Rooms: 4 Service: 2 Location: 2

I got pizza it was terrible, slab of thick rectangular dough over done tomato sauce short on cheese and still trying to find the chicken and for 15.00 feel it was a total rip off. A definite no going back for me Service: 5
