This restaurant is on the ball after being given a sporting-themed make over.
Durham County Cricket Club's restaurant has been given a new lease of life after being taken over by Ramside Estates, which owns Ramside Hall Hotel.
Formerly Austin's, the eatery has been renamed Sticky Wicket and has been fitted out with large screen TVs so guests can watch major sporting events.
A range of sports memorabilia, including vintage cricket bats, decorate the venue.
With a new menu, punters can enjoy traditional favourites including bangers and mash and chips, along with American-style sharing dishes.

Jack Brown, Ramside area operations manager who also looks after Ramside’s Newcastle bars, Colonel Porter’s at Dean Street and Bar Beyond in The Gate, believes The Sticky Wicket will become a huge draw locally.
"The venue has undergone a huge transformation and will be a great addition to the local area.
“We hope to become a part of the community, and are using a range of local breweries, along with being both family and pet friendly.
"We'll also be hosting some of the region's finest musicians from Thursdays to Sundays, along with being open for Sunday lunch.”
