Not a local round here, came for a few days visited numerous places around the area, been to every local place however this place is awesome very friendly staff who would go out of your way to help you and also the history and cameras shown of this place is unbelievable. Would highly recommend for all ages #love it, thank you
Huge thanks to Rima, Roy and all the lovely staff for making us so welcome! We had a great three nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Old Well to anyone wanting a break away around Barnard Castle. Thank you xxx
It's not a 5-star hotel, as mentioned by other reviews. The staff are lovely. Our twin room was fine. Warm. Comfortable. The en-suit did have a slight musty aroma, but it was clean. The shower looked dated, but it was roomy, and the electric shower was the same as one we had installed at home. Book direct! Breakfast was lovely. They didn't do food on the Monday night we stayed, but the barmaid recommended a great alternative. Loads of character in this historic building. I really liked it. Excellent value for money. Lovely town too.
Fantastic pub. Great food. Great beer. The food is a fascinating mix of traditional pub grub and Asian - we tried the Butter Chicken Naanzi (Indian style pizza) and the street food (that was my favourite). Even has chicken strips and similar for the little ones if they are not so adventurous. What's more it's super, super dog friendly!
Called in for pint and had a lovely Sunday lunch as well. Loads of hot veg n beef n gorgeous Yorkie with lashings of extra gravy. Staff so friendly n dogs are welcome too. Went back next day cos dog enjoyed it so much 🐕
Great pub on the main street of Barnard Castle. About 4 Real Ales (including Cummings & Goings) and good traditional pub food. Definitely pop in if you are in the area.
We called in here for lunch. It was a dripping wet rainy day but both of us and our soggy dog were made welcome. A good range of beers and other drinks at reasonable prices. We had the Indian sharing platter, very tasty and freshly made, just what we needed on a miserable day. Very good value for money. Thank you for the warm welcome.
Outstanding traditional pub with the most authentic Indian food we have ever enjoyed. Fantastic beers with wonderful staff. Thank s to mama Sue for making us so welcome and of course to the great Chef Shiv.
Called in for a cheeky, ice cold pint on a very warm day (26°c). I also had some lovely Sweet Chilli Chicken loaded fries to go with my pint. 😋
The staff were great and nothing seemed to be a bother. The place is dog friendly too. 🐕
We had lunch in here, an Indian sharing platter, and it was excellent. Plenty of food for two, tasty and fresh. There is a good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Dog friendly too, thanks
Called in for Sunday dinner with 7 of us and 2 dogs. First class service and food.
Really accommodating with a quick phone call to book a table.
Food is really good along with their service.
Thank you.
Just had Sunday lunch at The Old Well; fantastic!! Food excellent, service brilliant, price very reasonable. Good hint that this is an excellent pub is that most other guests were locals. High;y recommended.
