The Church Mouse - Chester Le Street

Took my friend out for her birthday at the mouse someone reccomend for us.However the food was very dissapointing we ordered crispy chicken for starters it was soggy so asked for it to be changed it came back a bit crispy but it looked if it had just been flung on the plate no presentation what so ever. Our main came it was crab and prawn linguine we ordered a garlic bread to go with it which was pracrically raw with garlic oil thrown on it was terrible the main only tasted of crab no other flavour it smelt terrible and the portion was not worth the price we left it it was making us feel sick the staff behind the bar refunded the main meal I've had crab linguine many times at other restaurants and been excellent but this place needs to get its act together and stop over pricing and get decent chefs I won't be going back or reccomending which is a shame because it's a lovely place.

An enjoyable evening. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the food was excellent and fairly priced. Good options for restricted diets were available too. It was nice there being an open fire but, if anything, we were seated a bit close to it where it felt quite hot but this wasn't a big problem. Vegetarian options: A good offering of vegetarian dishes and a couple of vegan, with options of vegan versions for a couple more. Price per person: £20–30

The service was brilliant, such a lovely atmosphere and friendly all around. Our waiter was Matthew, he was incredibly friendly and helpful as were the all the other staff. Sunday roast was to die for! Kid-friendliness: Provided highchair, very patient staff! Price per person: £70–80 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roast
