We have always enjoyed eating at Finbarrs so we knew despite this being a dine at home option it would be good but it far exceeded our expectations, it was fabulous. There was clearly an awful lot of thought put into it to ensure the very best Finbarr's quality! thank you! read less

Apart from the surroundings, the meal was as good as dining in the restaurant. It was absolutely fantastic. My partner had the pork and he said it was as good as you have in the restaurant. Cheese souffle for starters which was absolutely delicious, I had the gratin and that was gorgeous, lemon posset and the choux bun for dessert and both were out of this world. If you're looking for restaurant quality food, bit for obvious reasons can't eat at a restaurant, this is the place to go. Top marks all round read less

The quality of food is first class and instructions detailed and easy to follow. We and our wider family are missing you being open very much but it’s wonderful to be able to have a delicious dine at home Finbarrs meal. read less

Another delicious meal, albeit takeaway this time. Probably the best restaurant in Durham.

I can honestly say this is the best steak I have had in a very long time. They give you 2 steaks with the exact instructions of how to finish them to your liking. The fact that we could have 2 steaks at the very extreme of well done and blue with their instructions is out of this world. The steaks melt in our mouths. They are supplied with chips, grilled tomatoes and peppercorn sauce. There are no words to describe how wonderful our dinner was. I am so happy to have supported Finbarrs during these difficult times. They deserve it and we will order again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner. read less

The whole meal, starters, mains and desserts were delicious and so easy to cook at home. It's lovely to cook everything at your own pace rather than trying to keep carry out food hot without over cooking. read less

Busy on both occasions but full social distancing measures in place, hand gel, Perspex screens and all staff wearing face masks, so felt very safe, but also retaining some of the atmosphere of a busy restaurant.

This is not a cheap option, about £60 per person all in, but great quality, all of the meals we had over 2 evenings were excellent and a special mention for the Hallibut, superb.

Excellent and friendly service on both occasions and we will be back post lockdown read less

You really can't get a meal as close to the city centre of such high quality and good value. It felt really special inside and the waitress looked after our every need. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and high quality meal. read less
