About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Bayberry Hollow’s journey began in 2011 whilst strolling through the picturesque village of Tanfield. We fell in love with, what was, the village pub; The Pack Horse.

Here at Bayberry Hollow our ethos is simple... Great tasting home made dishes in a relaxed dining environment with welcoming service.

Our food menu is not huge, but there will be something on there that everyone will love.

Please note serving times for food:

Breakfast: Sunday-Friday 10am-11:30am & Saturday 9am-11am

Lunch Sunday- Friday 12pm- 3:30pm & Saturday 11:30am-4pm

We still serve our Coffee, Scone & Cake menu but on a walk in basis only. No reservations for this, you will be charged for this.

All of our team are from the local surrounding area and we all pride ourselves in making each of our customers welcome and appreciated. Our newly refurbished bistro provides the perfect destination for you to relax with friends and family, we are looking forward to welcoming you in store soon!

    Amazing As Always Fantastic food and service. The staff are so friendly and happy to help. Beautiful restaurant with amazing food. Visited on Good Friday and had the fish n chips special which was the best battered fish I have ever had. Crisp, light and so so tasty. Had to finish off with one of their amazing cakes which I had to take home because I was so full. Added extra is they have a gift shop attached which sells some lovely unique things from prints, artificial flower, small items of furniture, Jewellery and hand bags. Would highly recommend. Always my destination of choice for a catch up with friends xx

    Lovely place which we go to quite regularly. Love the afternoon tea- it’s great to pick the options yourself. As some places you don’t get to choose. Good portion sizes also. You do not leave hungry. Always accommodating- I had a baby in January and it was never an issue bringing the car seat along with us. Wasn’t made to feel like I was in the way by doing so, as some places do. We have come for many years now for lots of different occasions. Birthdays, Easter, Christmas etc and we always look forward to trying the specials! We love the gift shop too! We always come away with some nice treats! Never disappoints. Thank you for always going above and beyond.

    Visited Bayberry Hollow for birthday. Booked a table through Open table and was shocked I’d be charged £10 per person if I cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. Fortunately no need to cancel. Welcome was friendly and table available straight away. Menu was limited and portions gigantic. Everything served with chips and sandwiches so big they were difficult to pick up. £13 for sandwich and chips is expensive. £2.95 for a small glass of Coke which was poured from an already open can. Parking very limited.
