Woks Bar And Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Amazing selection of vegan food! 3 of us visited on a Monday evening, 2 vegetarians and 1 vegan, and we chose this restaurant because of the vegan selection.

The host was wonderful and made us feel very special throughout the whole meal, giving us a window view and wonderful conversation!

We hadn't planned on starters however decided to share a vegan crispy duck and some spring rolls. None of us had tried crispy duck before so that was a lovely touch to find it available and vegan. Both starters were delicious!

On to the mains and we ordered a mushroom egg foo yung which wasn't listed on the menu but was available on request, not vegan but suited 2 of us and was very tasty. We also ordered a vegan duck with cashew nuts which we'd seen on the takeaway menu and a bean curd in szechuan sauce, both of these vegan meals were fantastic. Boiled rice, egg fried rice, chips and curry sauce were also ordered and shared.

Finally for dessert we opted for banana fritters which were fried in a vegan batter, 2 of us had ice cream with it and 1 did not, vegan ice cream was available. We were tempted by vegan cheesecake but decided to go with the fritters because its such a winner.

Other things to mention, a really luxurious feel throughout, and the nicest most spacious toilets, honestly I can't speak for the men's, but the ladies, most venues would have crammed 4 in the space but 3 were perfect and roomy, including a baby change room in there too if needed. Lovely classical music playing in the background too.

Value wise, the bill came in at just over £110 for the food mentioned plus a large pinot grigio and 2 appletise which felt very reasonable.

Would love to go back some time and sample some other delicacies, it's nearly 7am and I'm writing this before breakfast and my mouth is watering just thinking about a...

The manageress was useless, no people skills what's so over. There was a problem with the booking on their end so we were sat at a table and we were told we had 1 hour. 45 minutes in the manageress came to our table to clear it and literally took a plate of food from one of my friends whilst she was still eating! We were in so much shock and disbelief we didn't know what to do with our selves . We asked to speak to the boss as it was very apparent the manageress was a major part of the problem. She made us aware that he couldn't speak english very well. He had no care to try and resolve the issue, just wanted to make sure that my friend was still going to pay. Then were were brought 3 incorrect over priced bills before the correct one. The manageress even argued that we had only been brought 2 bills when it was actually 3. So laughable and such immature, unprofessional behaviour. The food was fantastic, credit to the chefs. But the service was absolutely diabolical. Manageress needs sacking or...

A group of us visited Wok Inn in Brandon, Durham tonight, and we had a fantastic evening! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

We had a lovely chat with the owner, who mentioned they took over the place just six months ago. They’re clearly passionate about what they do, and it really shows in the food and service.

Here’s what we ordered (all vegan!): • Salt & pepper tofu • Vegan crispy duck • Spring rolls • Salt & pepper mushrooms • Tofu satay skewers • Vegan prawns in satay sauce • Vegan chicken in curry sauce • Mixed vegetables in vegan oyster sauce • Rice vermicelli noodles • Vegan duck rice vermicelli noodles • Mixed vegetable rice vermicelli noodles • Boiled rice

To top it all off, they surprised us with complimentary vegan cheesecakes—such a thoughtful touch!

A lovely little gem of a place—we’ll definitely be...
