Cons:
"Used to like this place but it’s not great for allergies."
"Great idea, 4 of us went, 2 had from the Greek kitchen and throughly enjoyed their meals. 2 of us had from the Durham sausage. 1 enjoyed the lunch torpedo. I had the beef burger which I did not enjoy."
"It gets a bit pricey with a family as there's no family deals."
"Tried the Thai option and was very impressed with the tasty food and friendly staff. Was NOT impressed with the very rude member of staff from the bar today."
"The food pit is a lovely place to relax. We orded from the med and the burger place and the food was ready relitivly ready the same time. Manager and Staff were very helpful and friendly."
"For Durham it provides an international feel, with cuisine from Greece, UK, Italy, Mexico and Thailand."
"Food Pit of course a great idea and we would go back - but not for the Greek! Fiery gyros bowl had hot sauce as I like but sauce too sour and chicken was awful, deep fried and hard."
"Very rude and condescending staff member at the till for the Greek place there."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Very good staff. Service was very quick."
"food came quickly, staff were great."
"The staff were great and the food was served real quick too."
"We loved the look of the place and the guy that took us to our table was great."
"Food really good, we tried the Greek place. One thing that could be improved upon is the order process."
"Dine here quite often and always have an amazing meal. The entire place is always spotless and has a chilled familiar atmosphere."
"Amazing bar staff, great service on entrance from a lovely lady."
"The service was quick and food was delicious. We had Greek and would definitely return."
Cons:
"Whilst eating our disappointing meal I got up to order drinks, there were two women behind the bar serving and the woman in front of me had an order of 4 drinks or so. I waited and watched as 2 people took ages to make 4 drinks."
"The main reason I have marked it down was the clearing of the table. After we had finished our meals no one came to take our trays away."
"Food quality not good for the price paid. Plenty of other eateries in Durham where the quality is far better for the price."
"The food was excellent. The choices were amazing. I had Thai food and loved it. I would certainly recommend this place for the view, the service and the choices of food."
"Food was fine, except the woman running the Thai stall was on her phone for almost 40 minutes, ignoring the machine. We eventually went up and talked to her, but only after she had us wait for her to finish texting."
"We ordered from 2 different vendors, one was mediocre, quick service but food not the best."
"Food is good. Love the idea of the mini restaurants inside one big restaurants. Big problem is you are required to order on the app where there is a compulsory 10% service charge."
"Great concept and fab food, with something for everyone! Although the app is pretty terrible, which can cause frustration, but that's a minor point."
Quality of Food
Pros:
"Great value for money, we ordered way too much food as wasn't expecting the portions to be that big."
"I had Korean style grilled chicken from grill n graze and it was really lovely great portion size and very filling."
"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."
"Top quality food here, and loads of it."
"I had the chicken and chorizo jambalaya from Holy Guacamoly - delicious! Everything worked in the dish and it was huge."
"Food was excellent - ordered the smashed burger from Parma La Familia, was delicious, definitely worth the price."
"The Greek platter could do 4 for a light lunch. The Thai is generally really nice, proper fresh and tasty. The burritos are big and tasty."
"Got a Philly steak sandwich from the eatery and to say it was poor would be an understatement."
Cons:
"To be honest, everything was tasteless, which was upsetting as we were starving and really liked the idea of this one restaurant having numerous different kitchens each serving different types of food."
"Got to sat the food pit was quite a culture shock. The food was very good & service plentiful, but there's not a lot of instruction regarding how the place works etc."
"Decided to try here with family sat 16th sept. We ordered, Mac and cheese bowl and wings from the grill place, a burger and a parmo from the parmo place."
"Called to Grill and Graze on a quiet Monday and had two flat iron steaks. To say the steak was chewy and tasteless is an understatement. The chimichurri had no taste. Never again!"
"I've visited the food pit a few times and whilst it's fine for a small plate of very average food it could be a lot better."
"We tried a few different stalls in here. I've tried the Thai food stall, the burger stand, and the newest one that serves Korean style chicken wings and flat iron steak; 'tis a must have from the food pit."
"Food quality not good for the price paid. Plenty of other eateries in Durham where the quality is far better for the price."
"The worst Burrito and nachos ever. The burrito was ridiculously bland, no flavour what so ever. Skimped on guacamole, cheese and sour cream, just no effort at all."
