About
A LUXURIOUS restaurant with rooms will welcome its first diners following the transformation of a former pub.
The restaurant is the latest addition to the Ramside Estates portfolio and comes after the company purchased the Grade II listed building, which was formerly known as the Hope Inn. Now, with talented chef Chris Finnigan at the helm, The Impeccable Pig will offer an extensive menu, with food available seven days a week.
The restaurant will offer bistro style food, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner or for a special occasion or celebration. Meat-lovers can get their teeth into josper-cooked steaks, all from cattle sourced locally from grass farms in and around the Durham area and aged for 28 days. Other dishes will include lobster thermidor, grilled halibut, herb-buttered new potatoes, chunky tartar, chicken Parmigiano and there are also a number of vegetarian and vegan alternatives.
The restaurant is also hoping to make its name through its extensive wine list, with more than 170 different wines, which includes Most Impeccable - a selection from well-known and much-loved producers – and Curious Creatures, a collection of unusual grape varieties which are likely to be less well known.
