A cafe promising 'bold food' including sweet Yorkshire puddings is set to open in a village less than a 60 minute drive away from Darlington.

The Stones Cafe will open its doors in Great Broughton on June 20 at 10am, boasting an all-day menu of homemade breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes, as well as sweet treats and artisan drinks.

It is part of The Wainstones Hotel, which is currently undergoing refurbishment.

The menu includes acai bowls, homemade tatty scones, and a Yorkshire all-day breakfast.

There are also lighter options such as pick-and-mix salad bowls and the cafe's signature sandwich, Party in Your Mouth.
