Cape To Cairo - Shildon

Totally unexpected find in Shildon. Very interesting and different menu cooked by one of the owners who is from Sierra Leone and therefore had her own take on all the dishes on the menu. Both the chef and her husband are extremely friendly and made the visit even more memorable. We were fascinated to find that the first passenger railway in the world started outside the restaurant (which was a pub in those days) and passengers bought tickets actually in the room we were eating in. Well worth a visit and we'll be back soon

Went to comedy night to watch 3x comedian s bring you own drinks but across the road is a sweet shop that has a wide range of beers spirits. Food was excellent and manager's and staff so nice Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food here was delicious, the welcome was great. I loved the ambience and the staff were great. I'd been looking forward to going to Cape to Cairo for a long time and it lived up to my hopes.
