A friendly out-of-town pub offering decent B&B facilities, providing a handy base for walkers exploring the attractive countryside. The Monday night quiz and Thursday night dominoes knockout are popular with the regulars. The evening menu offers quality food at modest prices and the pub serves traditional Sunday lunches. Regular bus services stop just outside, providing easy access to historic Durham City nearby.

The Wainwright Gold served on one handpump is 'Fresh Ale' ie keg not cask.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
