“ Great street food with options for everyone in the group. I wanted to go here to get my Greek Gyros fix and looked like one of the few places in Durham that served Greek food. I didn’t realise there was such a huge selection of other cuisines available. I can’t recall which one we got the deserts from, but they were excellent. ”
“ Best food ive ever eaten. I ate from the Grill n Graze Street Food. I had hot beef and fries. Best food ever for 6.95. See pictures. I highly recommend this one from within the Food Pit but I would imagine all of the eateries are good from this placel, especially the Grill n Graze Street Food. ”
“ First time here and we decided on the Greek menu. We had a tapas for 2 which was around 25. Good size portion which would probably serve 4. Overall service was quick, and staff were helpful and friendly ”
“ The Food Pit is basically a venue that hosts several smaller independent food sellers. We chose this as it gave us a bit of choice with the kids. We were shown to a table and was told how it all worked. Menu has all the food in it, and then ... ”
“ Great value for money, we ordered way to much food as wasn't expecting the portions to be that big. The Greek platter was good although the Gyro chicken wasn't the best and was way too salty for us but the Italian platter was amazing ”
“ It was a lovely place. 5 of us including my 6 year old brother. Really enjoyed the food; I had a smash burger. We all ordered from different counters and all the food looked and smelt amazing. They are dog friendly which is a big bonus, as we had our collie with us, but I think it needs to be made more obvious that they allow dogs. Only reason I dropped a star on atmosphere is that we were sat next to, what I felt was, a snobby mother and her child. No sooner than we sat down with the dog, she gave us this disgusted look and purposefully moved to another table. This detracted from my experience as being a dog friendly place, I wouldn’t expect customers to react like that. Not the venues fault, but more obvious dog friendly signs could be made as there was only a small A4 piece of paper in a window stating dog friendly. Customers shouldn’t be reacting like that if they are in a purposely dog friendly venue. ”
“ Really good choice of food on offer. Love to bring the family here. We came here for dessert today which was amazing as always. ”
“ So good one of the best fastfood I’ve had in all my visits to the uk anywhere & that says a lot the cocktails were great too I highly recommend they have a lot of options for whatever you feel like eating it’s food court style. ”
