Foresters Arms - Darlington

Unfortunately pub doesnt do food but hostess recommended a pizza takeaway which was quickly delivered and very nice

Recently reopened after poor previous tenants. Restaurant not yet open but hopefully soon. The pub is now open every day ,not as previous tenants did opening only when they felt like it. Good service from Chris and clean glasses ,very important to my wife. Very reasonable prices and if this is the standard to expect when the restaurant does open we will be regular visitors.

Dropped in for a drink while staying at the nearby hotel. Lovely pub, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

A lovely location, if you want to travel and walk in the Dales. The staff were lovely. However the French restaurant has zero French influence. The bar area is desperate for a make over. The settees had bare arms and the cushions lost all their support. Terrible choice of music in the pay for listen. Most of the bar was taken with a pool table. Our meals were totally boring but no real competition in the village. We were booked for two nights but after seeing the room we stayed for one and went to Barnard Castle for breakfast. The owner is a lovely man but had little interest in the fact that we changed our booking to only one night with no recompense. Unfortunately we will not return. Our room was squashed and we had to go upstairs to the cramped basic bathroom.

Warn welcome from the staff, clean and tidy place. However I ordered a beef Sunday Lunch, plenty of veg,3 Yorkshire puds, not the best I've ever had. But it was find the beef, one miserable piece of beef which wasn't great, not good enough no wonder it was quiet. Sorry but won't be back and certainly won't be recommending it.
