9 / 10

The Bay Horse Inn Hurworth - I must comment on the previous 2 comments and ratings of this venue. The comments are totally untrue we have visited the Bay horse on 5 or 6 occasions in the past 6 months and have been completely satisfied on every occasion, The food and service are top class and I would have rated 10 out of 10 except that may make them become complacent.Let me just clarify you do not have to pay for the bread (which is all home made by the way)and are even offered more on occasions. The wine is perfectly fine for a house wine and the desserts do not cost 6 pounds in fact the sticky toffee pudding which is to die for is only £4.50. Yes if you want yr plate piled up with food this is not the place for you but we have dined in most places in this area including the so called fab Oven and this is by far the best place around - how else would they be winning awards and have regular diners every week. If you want gorgeous fresh tasty food with excellent service and a very cosy ambiance give this place a try you won't regret it.Also going to try Sunday lunch there soon , yes it's quite expensive but looks amazing and always full so need to book ahead - will comment on this when been.
