Dining Pods

South Causey Inn, County Durham

A magical way to dine al fresco...

Picture this: dining al fresco in your own private pod, surrounded by the beauty of nature while indulging in delicious food and drinks served to you at your leisure.

Our dining pods are nestled in our picturesque gardens, complete with internal heaters, solid floors and doors, cozy blankets and hot water bottles, music speakers, and enchanting festoon lights.

It's an experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories. And for larger groups, we can set up multiple round tables to accommodate everyone.
