Review refers to accommodation and food/drink. Live in Boston, USA, went back home to NE England to celebrate parents' 50th anniversary which was booked at The Moorings, so decided to stay there as well. As a country pub, the 100+ year old Moorings (formerly known as the Traveller's Rest) has some great local ales on draft (cask and nitro) and... More

Ate in the bar bistro today. Chose from the set menu, three courses for £12.95. I had ciabatta, breaded chicken then Eton mess. My boyfriend had soup, pork loin and then apple crumble. Food was hot, beautifully presented. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Not one complaint! The ordinary menu has plenty of alternative selections including a children's menu. I... More

The food here is always amazing! We booked to stay on New Years Eve and did have a great night however had alot... More

My wife and I were in the bar/restaurant 14.Jan 2012 and ordered fish and chips. The food was served about 5 minutes later. The fish batter was very dark and tasted burnt. The chips were soggy. I think that the food had been previously part cooked then put into cooking fat that was too hot or was not fresh. We... More

We booked here for New Years Eve and were not disappointed. Having dined here before we were already impressed with the food. The rooms are modern and clean and the breakfast had ample choice with excellent service. If the New Years Eve food and service was anything to go by (canape reception, hot and cold buffet, mini desserts, cheese board... More

Just stayed here for 2 nights. I loved my say here and would recommend it to anyone. It is a few miles out of Chester Le Street, just set on its own. Excellent rooms, excellent food, excellent staff and excellent beer. More

Sixty years ago I was born in The Travellers Rest Hotel, as The Moorings was called then, because my dad, Larry Porter, was the landlord, so my family and best friends decided this would be a great place to celebrate this landmark birthday. I want to thank all the staff at The Moorings for the fantastic part they played in... More

Stayed on business for one night. Was delighted with my room which included a private patio area and hot tub - unfortunately it was out of use this time but I'll be checking for my next booking. The bed was very comfy, shower nice and powerful and staff friendly and helpful. Quiet location, so no traffic or town centre noise... More

We stayed here for two nights with another couple and I must say we were delighted. The rooms were very clean and organised with a very comfy bed! The owners seemed to pay attention to little details and it works! We ate both nights in the pub, the first night downstairs and second night upstairs. The food on both nights... More

We (husband and me) stayed at The Moorings for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. The service we received was good, staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and seemed to be fairly recently decorated and whilst the decor was not necessarily to my taste, it was certainly inoffensive and the room, and bed... More
