The cellar door was a lovely little find offering a good selection of dishes, and seeming a popular spot among locals with the vibrant atmosphere.Of all the options to have a Sunday Roast, this appeared to be the best on Google Maps and I wasn't disappointed. Firstly you could tell the freshness of the produce with the amazing taste and texture of the meet and veg. As someone who is from London I had an expectation on a Sunday Roast from up north" and it more than delivered

First time having food here, me and my girlfriend went for a date are waiter was John he was the best waiter I’ve had he made the night perfect I couldn’t of asked more, I did find a hair in my dessert but he controlled the situation and I understand things can happen. Beef wellington was perfect and again a great thanks to John he was amazing.

Came with my student son. Incredible food. Please give a medal to whoever invented the shepherds pie roll! My lamb fillet was pink and melted in the mouth, his beef wellington looked amazing. Great gravy on both dishes. Really interesting wine list, great to see a few American wine choices on there. Staff were good. We were on a table right next to the top of the stairs and there was quite a lot of coming and going which was a bit distracting - I would’ve been annoyed if it had been a romantic date! But we hadn’t reserved so can’t complain. Pricey but overall worth it for such good food.

The restaurant's entrance is just a small opening on one of the buildings with a wooden steps downward and opens up into a nice and neat dining area. Did not have the time to take more pictures as we were only on a short stop over from our land tour.We ordered their Hoisin duck bao bun, crispy squid, broccoli with almonds and seafood fejioda. All I can say is that the food is superb, tasty and reasonable amount of serving. It's a restaurant worth visiting.

Blink and you miss it entrance. Very, very much worth finding.We were seated in the pleasant, clean, if slightly chilly dining area just of the small vestibule waiting area when you enter.We had the last day of the November menu. Seasonal and spectacular.Service was impeccable and delivered with charm and great knowledge of the food. Wine options we tried were all tasty and reasonably priced for the quality, even the champagne by the glass isn't unreasonable for the quality.Food uniformly fabulously presented and cooked. Averages about £27 per main. Pheasant, beef welly and Monkfish were all available when we visited and happy as I was with my choice, some other the others looked tremendous too. Even squeezed in a dessert which is unlike me as I'm usually a savoury chap, but I was very happy I did.

First time visitors to The Cellar Door. We we were downstairs in a lovely stone room. All 8 of us had the Sunday dinner. Outstanding plate of food! Lamb was beautifully rare. Plenty of veg. The crowning glory was the biggest yorkie I've ever had!!

Best restaurant in Durham, went twice already for dinner with colleagues and we will definitely be paying the Cellar Door a third visit. Had meat on both occasions and it was stellar, will try fish next. Atmosphere is cosy, food is excellent, wine card has a good selection
