The Majestic Bistro - Darlington

Beautiful building worth a visit, wouldn't eat their again though, took my mum for Mother's Day and All seemed fine until the cups came for the tea, they were full of rings and dried on tea... We wiped them clean with the napkins... The food came and it all looked lovely, but that was all, the waiter never told us what the sandwiches were (I also couldn't find this info online) the sandwiches were tiny, I've had bigger chips, the pork pies were mush but the quiche was nice (but cold) they had lovely cossiants (again cold) NO BUTTER OR JAM! So very dry, the only cake that was nice was the lemon and mybe the meringue nest would of been ok if the fruit wasn't tort! I was very disappointed as its seemed like an elegant place. Wouldn't recommend at all!

My daughter took me for mothers day afternoon tea. We were disappointed that the cups we were given weren't very clean and also the pastries and tiny bits of quiche were cold and cheap quality, the cakes weren't much better, it included croissants that were really dry with nothing on them and Battenburg cake. Nothing very special unfortunately.

Visited with hubby and won't be going again. We've had numerous afternoon teas but this one was horrible. The pastries were freezing cold, from hard mini pasties to rock hard croissants , the tea and coffee were stone cold and the cocktails were blue and nondescript. The chocolate cakes were shop bought and tasted cheap and for the price we paid even on groupon it was not worth it as we were really disappointed. I gave the staff feedback that they should have been warm but they didn't seem to want to know so that was a wasted opinion and a waste of £19.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at the Majestic Theatre, having purchased a Groupon voucher. This wasn't your average venue for afternoon tea but we enjoyed its quirkiness. The gentleman who served us was friendly and very polite and the food was delicious. A good selection of sandwiches, cakes, strawberries and pastries and more than we could eat. Well recommended.

7th and 9th July My granddaughter was performing in a Newton Aycliffes Dance Academy presentation I will start with the show totally top class, children from 3 to 18 dancing so many routines it was truly wonderful a massive thank you to Emma and the team who put on such a great show I truly can't wait for next years presentation the costumes, the routines all top class, there must have been an Army of helpers backstage simply amazing. now for the food we ate here on the Thursday, Starters Sweet pea risotto well presented and very tasty Main I had a Sirloin steak with blue cheese sauce I had read reviews and people use the words the best steak ever, been a steak eater I had to try, well the steak was cooked to perfection the sauce was beautiful, was it the best steak or close to the best steak I've eaten The answer is no, it was good but certainly not mind blowing the steak had a lot of fat on it, too much in my opinion, yes the fat is taste, however, I would say at least 2 of the 10 ozs were fat the restaurant is beautiful and the service is excellent you can't fault it would I eat here again most definitely.
