Your Scenic Stop on the A688

A 1-Minute Diversion from the A68

Trade the traffic of Tindale Crescent for the tranquil countryside surroundings by the pond of The Mill Kitchen Restaurant.

Conveniently located just off the A688 and a stone's throw from the A68, we are the ideal destination for those travelling between Barnard Castle and Durham City—or those journeying further afield, whether heading south from Scotland or North from Yorkshire and the "smoke" of London. Whether you're in a car, caravan, or motorhome, our farm offers a peaceful escape with plenty of easy-access parking in the heart of County Durham.

Relax in our stunning oak-framed dining room where freshly roasted local coffee meets floor-to-ceiling views of the pond wildlife, or enjoy the fresh country air on our lakeside terrace.

The Ultimate Sunday Roast

We don't just serve Sunday Lunch; we grow it. Featuring our own award-winning beef and pork, our roasts are famous across Bishop Auckland for their field-to-fork freshness and farmhouse portions.

Truly Dog Friendly

Why settle for just a bar area? We welcome your four-legged friends in our lakeside outdoor seating areas It's the perfect pit-stop for a coffee after a local countryside walk.

Bakery & Afternoon Tea

From our legendary cheesecake to our handmade scones and artisan coffee, we offer a peaceful alternative to busy high-street tea rooms with a view that can't be beaten.
