A brewed recipe for success

There is a great deal to do in Durham and, after a busy day taking in the sights and sounds of the city centre, a cup of tea or artisan coffee is the only thing that's going to hit the spot. And, as northerners, we know the importance of a good hot drink! As a result, we've worked hard to offer a wide range of hot drinks from flat whites and cappuccinos to good old-fashioned cups of tea provided by Ringtons.

Our well-stocked cellar brings an assortment of drinks, from wines spanning around the world, to popular, hand-pulled cask ales that have been lovingly brewed by local breweries right here in our home city of Durham. Just pull up a chair and enjoy!

Links (Countryside)

From Field to Fork

All our lamb, pork and game are locally sourced and expertly prepared by our inhouse butchers at the Links, ensuring the highest quality in every dish. By overseeing every stage of the butchery process ourselves, we can ensure exceptional quality, consistency and care in every cut that reaches your plate. From field to fork, we can trace every cut.

For our guests, that means you can dine with confidence, knowing every dish is crafted with premium-quality produce, expert knowledge and a genuine commitment to provenance.
