Charming, old-fashioned Joule's pub in the town centre, the oldest in Newcastle, dating from the 14th Century. Beware of low beams when entering. The bar is on the left of the entrance, whilst the right hand side forms a cosy snug. At the back is a small garden. The pub has a mellow, relaxing ambience.
