County Durham is at the heart of the North East, with borders to Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria.  The city provides an excellent base to explore some of the region’s more cosmopolitan areas such as Yarm, Darlington, and Hartlepool to the south, Jesmond, Gosforth, Corbridge and Hexham to the north. 

This amongst the wealth of rural scenery and cultural landscapes that that county has to offer completes the diverse, yet comfortable and welcoming mix that is the North East of England.
     

The demand for the hospitality that has become characteristic of the North East is matched by the quality of produce that can be found in the area.  Not being one to be left in the wake of the larger cities, Durham has a vibrant and progressive demand for good quality food, sourced from the local area.  This is where the Pumphouse can pride itself. 

Here, they take great care in ensuring that their suppliers understand their passion for food.  The menus are centred on locally available produce, from local suppliers, and the changes in season can be seen in all menus through out the year.  Open for lunch and dinner daily, The Pumphouse Restaurant is an ideal meeting place for friends and family for those business lunches, relaxed dinners, and special occasions.

The Dining Room @ The Pumphouse is perfect for those events that require those extra finishing touches.  With its own entrance, private lounge area and a table that can seat up to 12 guests, why not spoil yourself once in a while and live the life of luxury. 

Menus are more regularly changed, reflecting the best of the available produce, with that extra attention to detail.  Special requests can be catered for, all you have to do is ask, and our dedicated team of staff will do their best to meet your needs.  One way to think of it is ‘Your Dinner Party, Our Venue’.
