Clarendon's

We only had 2 pots of tea and 2 cheese scones, and they were perfect. They have great efficient and friendly staff and we were lucky to get a seat. As we left it was packed.

Very, very good café in Barnard Castle. Pleasant, efficient staff. Very clean. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options available. Great tasting homemade food. Cakes are fabulous - best carrot cake I've ever had, from the first mouthful. Great tea selection, the lapsang souchong loose leaf was delicious, smoked and aromatic. I had the loaded potato skins with smoked applewood and caramelised red onion, served with garlic mayonnaise and house salad. All totally tasty, delicious and well presented. Recommended and would revisit. (No dogs)

First time there. Grace looked after us and she was lovely. Polite, helpful and attentive. Good social distancing and good working practices. Asked for breakfast tea and came in a large pot with extra hot water. It was Taylor's tea, not a tea bag and was great. Had jacket potato with prawns. Good size potato and well cooked. The wife had avacado and prawns and again delicious. Then followed with a slice of carrot cake which the wife said was the best she had ever tasted. I had a fruit scone and that was a good size and very tasty. Will definitely be going back. All the staff seemed very professional and polite.

During our stay in England we stopped by this cute place to have lunch. Tea was great and our lunch options were all fantastic. I tried the jacket potato, and my wife one of the special salads of the day. We ate Upstairs and it did feel more cozy and quiet than downstairs tables. Also try one of their scones, they are great!

Really enjoyed our visit here today for my partners birthday lunch. Friendly staff, warm, comfortable and delicious food....thank you 😋

Went for lunch with my wife and my mother-in-law.
Nice food and quiet atmosphere. Great selection from the menu, hard to choose what to have.
Good range of cakes

Always a lovely place for a get together. Food is unreal. Staff are always warm and friendly

Visited for the first time today, and it was a lovely experience. we received a warm welcome on arrival, and our party of 6 (plus a baby and toddler), really enjoyed our breakfasts. All the food was of high quality, very well presented and arrived quickly. We also thought it very good value. We will certainly visit again when we are back in the area. It ticked all the boxes, and would definitely recommend.

Wonderful experience. Had Coronation afternoon tea with a friend to celebrate King Charles lll coronation. Food was really yummy and there wasn't one thing that could be faulted. The table was reserved, bone china crockery was already set on the table. Tea arrived in a silver colour teapot with extra water and milk. The service was perfect, we were asked if everything was ok but weren't bothered too much. We had a nice large table so had plenty of room. I would heartily recommend a visit and I will be returning.

I recently visited Clarendons Cafe in Barnard Castle with my family for breakfast and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the French toast with raspberries and the avocado with poached eggs, both of which were absolutely delicious. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, and the French toast was to die for.

It was all extremely well presented. I wish I lived locally so I could visit more frequently!

The overall value for the quality of the food and the service was excellent.

The waitress was also lovely and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience.

My family also enjoyed their meals, and we all left feeling satisfied and ready to start our day.

Overall, I highly recommend Clarendons Cafe for a delicious and satisfying breakfast. I cannot wait to visit again.

Many thanks

Always good at Clarendons.
Very up market cafe in all respects. ☕🥮

The food is home made and cooked and served to a high standard. The staff are warm and friendly to customers.

Great food, our first Xmas lunch of the year and set the bar very high :-) but most of all, great people. Friendly without intruding. Lovely place to drop in for lunch (yummy) or cakes and coffee.

Steak & mushroom pie , awesome!! Real steak gravy. All the food was delicious.

My man and I popped in for the first time. We had breakfast. It was lovely, not floating in factor oil. The bacon didn't leave me drinking gallons of water all day. We will be back .

Visited last Tuesday with my heavily pregnant friend for a little "start of maternity leave" treat. The food was amazing, I had the Stilton mushrooms and toast which as always, was perfection, just the right amount of Stilton mixed in. My friend had the "posh" coronation chicken sandwich and was amazed with the portion size and the beautiful chunks of fresh chicken breast. We also ordered an afternoon tea to take away for the "father to be" to enjoy with a few changes to it and nothing was a bother for the team. Excellent service all round. Would highly recommend and we will be returning with baby soon!

Total chance we ended up at Clarendon's...after searching for a lunch time bite.
Judging by the number of locals using it we made the right choice.
Really good food...

Sat upstairs aa full downstairs but it was a lovely room and actually preferred it. Soup was delicious and the club sandwich had plenty of filling. Staff were friendly. Too full for cake but on paying and seeing the carrot cake we bought 2 slices to take away. A wonderful place would highly recommend

Quality ingredients, cooked to order. I even ate the tomatoes, which I rarely do. Great breakfast. Will definitely return.

Fabulous place highly recommended. Food always fantastic and staff are Fabulous
