The Undercroft Restaurant

Exceeded expectations. Great coffee. Hard working friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Lovely coffee shop/restaurant within Durham cathedral. Food is lovely, so many cakes too choose from which are all reasonably priced. The cakes are replenished all the time. Very good selection of hot food to choose from if you want a meal. There are plenty of seats to sit at. Staff are friendly and helpful, and everything is kept clean and tidy

I loved the place, the service was excellent. I only wanted a salad even though it was not on the menu. I asked and I got exactly what I wanted. The place is clean with s friendly atmosphere.

Excellent cake selection and reasonably strong coffee. Pretty busy as school holidays but didn’t feel hemmed in.

We were the last customers at about 9pm one night because a show was on. They were packing up but still friendly and welcoming to us. And they let us stay until they need to lock the doors and go. Thanks guys!

We went here for a coffee break whilst we we were exploring the beautiful / historic Durham Castle. We were amazed by the taste of scones and how big they are for £1.80. You probably can share a scone between two adults. The service we received was very good, coffee/ scones were good and reasonably priced, the seating area is very glamorous. I would definitely recommend The Undercroft for a coffee / tea break. Thank you.👍

We attended a special "Greek Mezze Night" at The Undercroft. The whole event was thoroughly enjoyed by us all. The food was excellent, both in quality and quantity and the service was impeccable - and the staff ever so nice. Thanks to everyone for a lovely evening.

Had broccoli and stilton soup with a roll, and it was delicious, I could have eaten more. There was a good variety of cakes and sandwiches.

Enjoyed a superb lunch here when last visiting the cathedral. Great food, great coffee and 5* service. It makes the food taste even better knowing that any profit they make in the restaurant will help to keep this beautiful cathedral in the fantastic condition it is.

We stopped for a quick lunch. Had soup and a bun for under £4 each. Clean. Great ambiance in the old priory wine cellar. Free toilets. Free admission to the cathedral and worth a visit. We took the tour and Open Treasures tivket for a £10 each and loved it.

Lovely cafe for a bite after visiting Cathedral. I went at half term and they had free lunch boxes for kids which was great

Fab place , food offerings looked good , well priced , wished we had discovered earlier..

Superb surroundings, peaceful and relaxed vibe. Great menu and excellent value for money.

The Chef whipped up a fantastic vegan special for my daughter's meal today.

Nice place to have lunch or tea after viewing the Cathedral.

Nice Earl Grey tea and the carrot cake is gorgeous..

Nice to sit down and relax with a cup of tea /coffee and a slice of cake.

Gorgeous home made delicacies in an amazing setting!
