The Grove Restaurant - East Durham College

My pancake was raw, I still ate it cos I was hungry. It wasn’t even what I ordered. The server was good to a degree, but he started calling bingo numbers, I’m not sure why. My stomach a bit funny after, I don’t know if I was just scared I ate raw egg. I give it 2 stars.

Ate here today the 18th Dec. We were well looked after by Madison who was a delight. Had the three course Christmas menu which was beautifully cooked and presented. The only comment we would make is the prawn cocktail would have been enhanced with some brown bread and slices of cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Otherwise everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely lunch. Nice atmosphere and very reasonable. The coffee was lovely 😍

First time today for lunch, what an experience. Food was lovely , my husband and myself had the bhaji starter , my mother in law had the chicken parfait , Mains were balsamic pork , pan fried fish and beef in peppercorn sauce , mother in law had cheesecake . We just couldn't fit a pud in . Over all the service food and surroundings were absolutely excellent. Well done you young people . We will be back , can recommend it enough 100% . Absolutely unbelievable value for money .

Visiting Scene 1 for the first time for Christmas dinner and from the very start we were very impressed. All of the students were friendly and attentive, taking us straight to our table. Drinks and order taken we had a chance to look around and it's hard to believe that you're in they college, it's been decorated very well to look like a restaurant. All of the food was very good and the courses came out a steady pace, never too quick and never a long wait. There was some confusion over the dessert order, more our fault than theirs, but this was quickly rectified. Overall very good food and very good service. Will definitely be back for another one of their theme evenings.

I thought the food was absolutely fantastic. I am hard to please and rarely go out to eat as a lot of places offer nothing special. This was probably the best lunch I have had. Thank you staff, we will be back and bring friends.

I had breakfast with my wife there before the term break. The food price is very reasonable and quite delicious. The staff are nice and helpful.
