The Hide chain of cafés, bars, and grills pleases customers very effectively in the north east, and west Yorkshire. Their delicious, varied cuisine, contemporary interiors, informal yet attentive service, and relaxing atmospheres appeal to most people visiting a Hide.

The Durham outlet can be found on the road to what is sometimes referred to as the most magnificent cathedral in the world. Stop by for a meal, or coffee and a light snack while you experience the city's many fabulous attractions.

The café offers such delights as char-grilled 6oz rib eye sandwiches, pizza, pasta, burgers, and mezze platters, while the grill menu caters for those wanting something more substantial.

Precede a main course of seared leg of lamb, puy lentil, slow roast tomatoes and jús, with aromatic duck pancakes with hoi sin, or Thai beef salad. Other choices comprise a 10oz sirloin hand-cut local steak, Anglesey sea bass fillets, free-range chicken breast, gnocchi pasta, pancetta and sage sauce, and tarragon and chive crêpes stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese.

The chocolate brownie with pouring cream delights those with a sweet tooth.
