Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Houghton-Le-Spring

Since its relaunch and service of only tasting menus, Six has become one of our very favourite restaurants - which is slightly odd because we usually avoid tasting menus. We had the nine-course menu, the alternatives being a six-course and vegetarian six and nine-course alternatives. One great thing is that, not being oyster-lovers, one can swap out a course that doesn't appeal for a veggie alternative. Service is attentive but without crowding, and friendly rather than stiffly formal, which we like. Every course was a masterpiece in taste and presentation, and we've eaten worse in Michelin-starred places at twice the price. Wine starts at under £30 a bottle, but you can push the boat out and pay far more. So not a cheap place but very good value, and with excellent waiting staff.

Pre theatre dinner and celebration for my Husband's Birthday - warm welcome from all the staff, super efficient and friendly Waitress. Food was tasty, well prepared and more than plentiful. My husband was treated to a Birthday desert too which was a nice touch.

Lovely, friendly pub with grat food and drinks. Vegetarian/Vegan burger was the best!!!

Great service, friendly and helpful staff and the food was amazing!

Excellent Sunday lunch in a traditional style village pub. Very busy for Mother’s Day but service was good and any delays discussed upfront. A good meal and venue
