THE VANE ARMS THORPE THEWLES
Located in the beautiful historic village of Thorpe Thewles, just off the A177 between Stockton-on-Tees and Sedgefield, The Vane Arms is a stunning recently-refurbished restaurant offering high quality bistro style dishes with a twist on traditional pub classics.

Our focus is on serving the best available ingredients that our team of highly skilled chefs can transform into show-stopping, delicious dishes that are perfect for both special occasions and casual dining, complemented by a thoughtfully curated wine list and drinks menu.

In the summer months, our beautiful garden offers the option of enjoying your meal outside with fantastic views, and we recently created a private dining space packed with traditional character ideal for parties and celebrations.

Expect a friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere, fantastic food, and a dining experience to remember.

    We visited today for our first time and had a lovely Sunday lunch which we thought was great value for money The staff were very friendly and attentive Slight issue was that we were right out of the way hidden round the corner and we felt it was slightly dark and chilly , however we will certainly return.
