Absolutely great evening date with the wife. The DJ played some fantastic music while we ate and kept up A Brilliant atmosphere. The staff were all so professional and cool. Food was sublime the steak was 10/10 and the options for vegetarians is great also. Cocktails were to die for and overall a beautiful atmosphere and design! Will 100% be attending again

We shared all of the starters (apart from the peppers which were unavailable) - all of them were excellent - chicken wings, cauliflower, red pepper hummus and arancini. I had the prosciutto, burrata and grilled peach pizza which was excellent. Service was great, attentive but not intrusive and the restaurant had a really lovely feel about it. Great first visit.

Its not often I m impressed with the quality of food when dining out but on this occasion I was impressed by the food and wonderful service from the staff. Although this was a gift with set food/drink choices I was able to make changes without any hesitation or argument from staff. I would definitely consider visiting the Black Rabbit again

We had a family night out here before going to see a concert. It was a birthday celebration. The birthday girl received a free glass of Prosecco which was lovely. We had a tasting board & a selection of hot food & it was all delicious. The service was friendly, prompt & helpful. Thank you for a great night!

Wonderful good and really great service. Fab place to chill out... wonderful decor. Only downside was our table was right next to the toilets. There was a lot of passing traffic and we could see into the room. As long as you don't sit in that part of the restaurant, all is very good

    We visited The Court in Durham on 21 October 2026 for a work lunch and were genuinely blown away by the beautiful decor. Since its reopening, it has clearly had a wonderful transformation, and the interior is absolutely stunning. All eight of us commented on how beautiful the place looked, which says it all! The menu is great, with some lovely options to choose from. Although it’s not quite as extensive as the menu under the previous ownership before the renovation, there is still plenty to enjoy, and the overall experience more than made up for it. It’s wonderful to see The Court back open and looking so fabulous. A real credit to the new team, and somewhere that feels special the moment you walk in. We all had a lovely experience and would happily return. Durham has a real gem here!
