This is the first time we have been to this pub and we will be visiting again and often.
We stopped for lunch and had amazing bao buns that tasted excellent at a very reasonable price, even the coffee was good.
Great atmosphere and a nice looking pub, definitely somewhere to visit any day or night.

Most beautiful looking pub I have ever been in thumbs up to the people who designed and refurbished it. Excellent choice of food and drink most definitely will be back and let everyone know about the brand new hole in the wall.

Been in here a few times now, love the place! Staff are very friendly, food is outstanding and very well presented and lovely sized portions! Didn’t disappoint at all and very satisfied 👌🏼

The Hole in the Wall captures the feel of a classic pub very well. The decor and atmosphere fit in well with its location.
The barman was able to recommend me just the right stout for my evening, and it was lovely to see a pub in Darlington stocking something more then ‘The Spoons Standards’.
The food was good. Exactly what I would expect in quality from such a pub as this.
I was well fed and watered for the price of my meal and pint. It was well worth stopping by.

Nice pub, good food, great choice of drinks. You need to book for the food. I'm not sure if upstairs restaurant is still open as couple last times we were eating at the bar are. One minus ➖️ always understaffed and poor guy in the bar running like headless chicken, making drinks, bringing food, cleaning tables. It's actually the same story with all pubs in the area that belong to Warren Kreft

Great traditional English food with the vibes. Food came in a massive portion and tasted amazing. Always busy on the weekends.
Matthew Gardner
Have been a couple times when passing through Darlo. Great little pub with food that will surprise you. Better quality than you'd expect from a pub! Everything I've had there is delicious.

We held a baby shower in the function room above the bar. It was a well kitted room, perfect size for the 15 of us attending. The staff were helpful and so kind. They were patient when we had requests and always served with a smile on their face. The Buffett served was hot, delicious and we'll presented. Everyone found something to enjoy, including the 4 year old who found the tasty caramel sauce and brownies. The team working on Saturday 4th February 2:30-7:00pm, you worked hard and have done Hole in the wall proud! 10/10, I would recommend you use their services for your small celebratory needs! Just bring your own boxes for any leftovers ;) special thanks to the staff who have introduced me to passion fruit cocktails!

Great selection of Real ales available. But the food is outstanding. Don't forget to ask for a doggy bag because I bet you can't finish what you order. Staff really friendly and helpful as well. Splendid find in Darlington
Hope to be back there soon.

Nice helpful staff but dirty cutlery and food served on an old chopping board with cracks and cuts in it (a bacteria breeding ground most places have stopped using them).i would recommend as a pub but not to eat there
Norma Ellis
Gorgeous old world pub, market place location lovely atmosphere serving real ale with friendly bar staff. Had the Groupon deal for the rib eye steak for 8 it was delicious can highly recommended deal of £12:90 for 2 diners will certainly return �
Richard Best
Food was quality got a meat sharing platter, down side was we had to wait over an hour but that was rectified by a few free drinks so all in all a good place to eat
Hannah Webb

If i could award 0 stars, i would. There was a live singer tonight that we were really looking forward to after a family celebration. We all met at the hole in the wall at about 9pm to enjoy the live singer, which was brilliant. We were singled out during a speech by the 'dj' that told us to basically "f*ck off" after doing absolutely nothing wrong, telling our group to "take our christening sh*t around the corner" we were literally there 10 minutes with still full drinks. We felt very unwelcome to this establishment and after 50+ years between us in the business we have never felt so discriminated. They have genuinely put a massive dampner on our great day. We will not return to this establishment and we will recommend others to do so.
Louise Sinclair
Had a fab meal with 13 year old son who's autistic so very picky. Staff are always lovely when we go in and always willing to adjust the menu to meet his palette. You'll be surprised how many food establishments won't, top marks. Thank you so much in making a meal out easy and enjoyable 😀
Nicola Gormley
Organised a hen night cocktail mastercalss for 20 people on 3 June.
Nathan was very patient with us and very knowledgable of cocktail making.
It was great that we could all make the cocktails at the same time. All 4 cocktails were lovely, food was great as always.
There was a bit of noise in the bar which often made it difficult to hear but it was soon dealt with.
Would highly recommend anyone taking part in a masterclass here, or even just dropping in for a drink and great food.
Thanks again Nathan and team!

Groupon Rib eye Steak very nice, after our first visit in March, we've returned again in April and received fantastic service again from the lovely Lucy, she's super friendly and an asset to your pub �
