Restoration
Built 1885, a Grade II-listed building that was extensively re-modelled by Scottish & Newcastle in 1986 before a short closure until rescued by Jarrow Brewery in 2011. They thoughtfully restored it back to its Victorian splendour and created a long narrow public bar on the right with impressive bar fittings; on the left is a wood-panelled lounge and there is additional seating for the weekends upstairs. The overall effect of the restoration is spectacular.
This Pub serves 5 changing beers (Guest beers from a wide range of independent breweries.) and 0 regular beers.
