Comfortable, friendly pub on the edge of town, consisting of a bright bar at the front of the pub and a more cosy lounge to the rear. There is also a snug and a long corridor connecting all three.

Bought from Punch Taverns in 2014 and rejuvenated, it is run by a team who are keeping high standards.

The pub (built in 1871) is a vibrant free house, concentrating on real ale, as the name would suggest.

There are up to eight beers on the bar, which are sourced from a wide variety of breweries. Mallinsons and Oakham are usually represented. The pub also serves five guest beers by keg membrane dispense, as well as bottles and canned beer.

Major sports events are screened and newspapers offered for customers to read.

Another star in Newcastle's ever-burgeoning real ale scene.

Asset of Community Value

A Victorian local which has some good features and retains much layout with features from a 1930s refurbishment. Some attractive surviving Art Deco features, for instance doors, bar furniture, stained and leaded glass. There is lovely small lobby on the right with hatch and window to the servery, and horizontal dado panelling. The front bar has a good counter and bar-back. The rear rooms have a more modern feel, but at the back of the rear lounge is small snug-bar. Along the left is a long plain passage linking the front and back rooms. There are good Twyford Adamant urinals in the Gents'.
