The Pumphouse Restaurant has established itself as one of the finest in County Durham with a menu and wine list that can compare with the very best of dining experiences.

Situated just south of the city of Durham, the Pumphouse is for people who want a restaurant that redefines fine dining, offering excellent cuisine in a relaxed and stylish environment.

County Durham is at the heart of the North East, with borders to Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, North Yorkshire, and West to Cumbria. The City of Durham forms an elegant mix of the more urban centres of Hartlepool, Stockton upon Tees, and Darlington with the more rural and scenic landscapes of the Wear Valley.

With a taste of the city buzz, the historic sites and open green spaces associated with Northumberland, County Durham is well placed to reflect the diverse culture of North East.

The demand for Durham restaurants to offer a high-end dining environment is matched by a population who see Durham as a vibrant and progressive British city. The highest expectations in dining out are met by the Pumphouse Restaurant.

The traditional image of English dining as inferior to its more continental neighbours has long since been dispelled. Recent surveys put London at the very top of the culinary charts with 20% of the world's best restaurants located in the capital.

Whilst this may not be unexpected of a major world city, what is clear is that it is not just about a classic fine dining environment but also about the menus, where substance is as highly regarded as style.

While the glamour of cosmopolitan eating is still popular, classically English wholesome dishes, cooked to perfection are becoming an English standard on the world's culinary stage. We are open for business lunches, A La-Carte evening meals and have Private Dining facilities for special or corporate occasions.

The Pumphouse Restaurant brings the very best in English dining to Durham.
