Restaurants · Consett
Consett's evening crowd has made this a regular haunt, and it works surprisingly well with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking take the friction out of the arrival, and the room is warm and cosy rather than clattery. Pizza is the thing to order: the dough gets genuine praise for being cooked to perfection, and the chicken tenders go down well with younger diners. The staff are kind and flexible, swapping a wrongly ordered pizza without a murmur and having the replacement out before the first slices were finished. Vegan options are on the menu too. Worth knowing: they run a busy takeaway alongside the restaurant, and larger tables have waited a long while at peak times — book ahead, go early, and bring something to occupy small hands.
