Headlam Hall in Darlo is a spa and golf hotel surrounded by countryside which has a splendid restaurant under head chef Derek Thomson, with all principal ingredients sourced from high quality local suppliers.

Me and my lass (no) joined a party of friends for drinks and lunch and here's what we ordered:

For starters I had garlic mushrooms in a creamy sauce:

Verdict: basic but nonetheless delicious.

My lass had melon and seasonal fruit with raspberry coulis:



Verdict: my lass (no) remarked it was 'delightful'.

Well, we're orf to a good start, so let's get to the second course!

Me and my lass (no) had roast sirloin of beef, Yorkshire puddings, an assortment of vegetables with gravy:



Verdict: superb with the beef being an absolute triumph!

My lasses mate had grilled seabass, crushed potatoes, spinach and dill cream:



Verdict: apparently delicious!

For third course, most of us opted for the humble apple crumble with custard:



Verdict: surprisingly small portion which was welcomed by some of our party par takers as anything larger may have caused bloating!

Others in our party chose the following,

Cheese and biscuits:



White chocolate and raspberry cheesecake with Chantilly cream and raspberry coulis:



Summary

Great tucker in splendid surroundings makes for a superb place go for something to eat and drink!

The food is very tasty, well presented with good service.

Price: approx £35 per head.

Overall 8/10

Highly recommended! :cool:



 


I went to a wedding there, nice surroundings, rooms were nothing special.

Food reviewed above looks tasty but not £35 worth, I hope £20 of that was wine / beer.
 
I ate at Rustique in York today, lovely Steak Frites.

Service was poor. At least the lass I encountered on the way in and who took the order was shite.
