Overnight stay on 26th June to celebrate my birthday, it was the first time staying away from home since start of pandemic. Immediately felt at ease as inn had robust covid safety measures in place. There was a bit of confusion on arrival as previous occupant of our room had walk off with the keys. However this was quickly solve by very helpful staff and owner Roma. As we were a late booking and all other rooms were filled we stayed in a family room (1 double and 1 single bed). The building was built around late 17th century and had all the charm of this age of building, wonky floorboards, low door ways, fine for me at 5’ 1”, although my husband had to bend his head every time he went through doorways. As stated staff were very friendly and helpful and the cooked breakfast was wonderful. I was also greeted at the breakfast table with a chocolate cake, with birthday candle and a card from the owners and staff. I cannot recommend this inn highly enough, would definitely visit again.

An excellent first ever visit to pub in a town I know pretty well. I’ve just never visited before, but I really wish I had years ago.

Served by Lucy, who was a real credit to the place. She was very friendly but most importantly provided excellent customer service on what I found out was a week into her first ever job. They’ve obviously trained her very well in such a short period of time. Briefly chatted to who I assume was the supervisor behind the bar who was also very friendly and professional.

Lovely beer varieties on offer. I didn’t stay for food but was pretty gutted about that. Everybody around us did have food and it looked and smelled very nice indeed.

Also a lovely, friendly atmosphere in the beer garden with lovely surroundings.

Highly recommended. More

lovely beer garden, great host and an excellent curry. 10/10. ❤

Bought a sharebox takeaway a couple of days ago. I should have done it before. Absolutely brilliant. Apart from being remarkable value, this is much more authentic Indian food than many will have experienced. If you're looking for a chicken tikka masala, it may not be for you. But if you're looking for well-balanced, incredibly tasty, authentic Indian-style food, give it a go!

Thanks Roy and Rima for the food tonight. Really enjoyed my thaali with chicken and the spicy bean burger was fab as usual.

The loveliest pub garden in Barnard castle

Our favourite place in Barnard Castle. Great service,beautiful enclosed garden. Well worth a visit. Makes our stay here special

Great outdoor beer garden. Well organised for COVID. Food was good, especially loved the sauce on the chicken burger, it was delicious.

We had the veggie curry and it was delicious 😋. Fabulous service. Would highly recommend

Fantastic service. Meal delivered to our door, absolutely delicious and very very tasty. Would highly recommend. Thanks to Roy and his team.

Takeaway was beautiful, delivered to our door. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious takeaway food today, will be back for more! Excellent portion size and value for money.

Enjoyed another fabulous curry and the best onion bhajis I’ve ever tasted (and will probably ever taste) - look forward to drinking back at the pub when we can 🍛 🍺

We love Indian food so ordered a takeaway from The Old Well last night, having previously eaten there during the 'dine out to help out' in the summer of 2020. Our food was delivered (free) on time, was hot, and all Covid-19 precautions had been taken. As we had experienced in the past, the food was absolutely delicious. I had the Vegetable Thaali and my husband had Lamb Kosha Mangsho. It all came with rice, chapattis, chutney, raita and papads. The portions are huge, so we have enough for Saturday lunch too. If you've not already tried the food here, you should. Can't recommend it enough. Thanks to you both.

Just enjoyed another share box authentic curry with hubby. We tried the pork this time and it didn't disappoint. Thanks Rima & Roy.

Why not try something new this weekend and order a delicious takeaway from The Old Well Inn. The authentic curries are packed with flavour and well worth it. 😋

They're doing an awful lot for the local community during these difficult times, so let's give them a little support. 😊
