The Bay Horse

Great food and service as always! Will definitely be back

Beautiful meal and great service - would definitely recommend for a speacial occasion

Another very enjoyable lunch. The food and whole experience was a joy, as always.

Fabulous food as always. We love this place. Really recommend.

We were greeted and seated and served with drunks very quickly. The wait for food was longer than usual but the delicious food was well worth the wait. An overall most enjoyable lunch.

A great fixed price menu at lunch time, is always delicious and excellent value for the quality of cooking.

Well worth the money and the trip out. Excellent service and the food was outstanding.

Good food. Excellent customer services. Sunfay lunch good value for money. Would recommend.

Lovely food, excellent service and very pleasant atmosphere at a fabulous price. What’s not to like?

delicious food. definitely recommend it to others. will come back.

Fantastic ...you cannot fault this place in any way at all.

Excellent all round. The only thing that I would say is that the chef must be afraid of greens, as it's rare to see any 'green' vegetable accompaniment! Otherwise remains my favourite eatery in the locality.

The food tonight was simply sublime . Every dish was perfectly balanced and tasted amazing . You can clearly tell the chef loves food as this was communicated so well throughout the plates we received. Service was faultless ... enough attention but not overwhelming. Will definitely be back.

Michelin star quality! Please open up in Cheshire in the Prestbury area - you would be a massive success!

Excellent food and service as usual. Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Restaurant very welcoming and cosy with wood fires, the food and service very good

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Can't wait to visit again!

As usual excellent food and service. A must try for people who have not dined at the Bay Horse before

Great menu, well presented and delicious food with good service. Our first visit and will definitely be returning.

Fantastic meal last night. Excellent service. Will definitely go back.

Fantastic food and service. Lovely sat in the garden having drinks before our meal

The food was lovely as always but the service last night wasn’t the best. We had to ask for bread, our main course arrived just after we’d eaten it so it had definitely been forgotten. The waitress spilled bear down my brothers back as she was placing it on the table, fortunately that was the last drink and not the first. In contrast I was there for lunch on Tuesday the service was brilliant.

This is our third visit as we like the atmosphere and the high standard of food. Our starter of Whitby crab was tasty but truly tiny even by fine dining standards. Our main meal of Halibut was excellent,well cooked,presented and the right size. Only gripe was pairing wines with starters and mains. The wine with the black pudding was £19.00 for a 125ml glass,on the menu in low light with a flambuoyant numeral 9 looked like £10.00. our complaint was not well dealt with,and agreed it was slightly misleading. We would definitely go back,but not get involved with paired wines!!

Great night out, food was great! Nice wines to go with the courses. Had to ask for the wine to go with the starter as course was already served, but other than that, can't fault this. Will go again.

Overall only a good meal, which was disappointing as we had waited for this for a long time and hoped for more. The appetisers were the biggest let down followed by a good main course however first impressions count I suppose.

Outstanding food and service. The lady the was exceptional. One point which would have been nice is to have had some green vegetable within the selection.

Excellent food and wine, good service, good ambience. The only small fly in the ointment is that something that sounded like a talk radio station was being piped into the ladies bathroom and at the time my wife was in there the language being used by the presenter was a little colourful!

Consistently the best ‘gastropub’ (borderline fine dining) experience in County Durham. Environment, service, food and wine choices, presentation, quality, value for money - they do all the important things extremely well. A pleasure to dine there.

Nice place to come for a special occasion. A great meal for our 40th wedding anniversary with excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Can’t recommend more highly

Always enjoy coming to The Bay Horse and never disappointed by the food or the service. Great to see they sell half bottles of wine

Food, service, ambience exceptional! Had market menu with wine pairing. I would definitely recommend and would visit frequently if I were fortunate enough to live close by.

Extremely delishes food as always. Been there twice now and both times the service, food and atmosphere is spot on. Will be back again without a doubt.

Our visit was for my mum's birthday. The atmosphere was lovely with a friendly and warm welcome. Fab service and fabulous food highly recommended, would definatley go again.

Superb food, excellent service, lovely ambience. My partner and I both had the beef. It was by far one of the most enjoyable meals we have experienced. What more can I say!!!

Really enjoyed our lunch. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and ambience was warm and inviting. Outside snow was falling and it was great being in a cosy and very stylish environment.

Coldest night of the year outside but inside lovely, warm and cosy. Excellent service and first class food had 2 courses of the market menu delicious and excellent value.

Overall very good. Set menu good value. Desserts excellent. Starters delicious but very small and the Whitby Crab starter is definitely not worth the price!

Excellent lunch with a varied menu. Try the prix fixe menu. Great ambiance - log fires and candles on a rainy day We’ll definately be back.

great food and atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff couldn't fault food

we had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch......we have always found the experience consistently good.

Superb food, great range of choices and all excellently presented. The Bay Horse is cosy and friendly but high quality. Great service and our party of US visitors loved the experience.

Excellent food, wine, menu, service, presentation and surroundings at a more than reasonable price. The weather was bitter but there are real fires and a welcoming bar. Would have loved to stay longer but driving was a challenge not to be mixed with alcohol.

Lovely restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious and attention to detail was amazing. I have already recommended this restaurant to my friends and will continue to do so.

Absolutely wonderful. We chose from a smaller menu and got 3 courses for £26 and it was worth it for the quality of the food. There was another menu where you could order a selection of dishes which looked really tasty as well. The place feels so cosy and there’s a real fire too. We’ll definitely be coming here again.

Very nice food, but small portions - started with risotto and had game pie as a main, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Felt expensive for what we got.

Excellent food; in particular my friend who is vegetarian was impressed with the choice and quality of the veggie menu. Service was attentive and friendly, wine very good. Nice touch to offer a glass of prosecco on arrival.

Excellent meal as always, compliments to the chef. Table staff very attentive as always. A great way to start the New Year We are frequent diners, and shall continue to be so ML Davies - Hurworth

Food was excellent, some of the best we’ve eaten. Also had really great children’s options and our 9 year old thought the food was delicious. Perfect for an extra special family lunch.

we had a beautiful lunch today and the service was very good.

Amazing food and wine, friendly service, cozy atmosphere....a fantastic experience! I can’t believe that we have a restaurant as good as the Bay Horse in a village as small as Hurworth....but I’m so glad that we do!
