Rudy’s Pizza, Durham
No messing around.
I try to keep things as local as possible, but occasionally there’s somewhere worth venturing to in Durham, even down to North Yorkshire including Darlington, Middlesbrough, and Teesside. My favourite at the moment is the incredible Travellers Rest in Witton Gilbert.

Some places take a bashing on this site – others are heaped with love, fondness and a plea for you to go and visit them. This one is the latter.
Lunch at The Raby Hunt, Summerhouse
Still by far the only 2* place in the whole of the North East.
