The Freemasons Arms, Consett

Staff friendly,chicken tikka starter ok,sheek kebab starter ok,chicken madras awful,chicken rogan josh awful,chicken makhan awful ,chicken korma ok (coconutty).Strangely all the rubbish curries tasted sour/cheesy.The chicken makhan even had melted cheese on it!the madras was fairly hot with barely a taste of curry,as if no garam masala or normal spice mixture was in it,I have never had curries like these in 30 years and will not visit again .Maybe the chef was off and the cleaner was doing the cooking.Definiately a place to remember not to visit.I imagine this place will be displaying under new management soon if this is going to be the standard.
