Dating back to 1885, the pub was tastefully and extensively renovated when reopened by Jarrow Brewery in 2011, after lying dormant for over two years. A long and narrow wood, chrome and glass bar holds seven handpulls serving up to five changing ales, plus two ciders. There is a long narrow lounge opposite the main bar. Upstairs is the Vaux Room for additional seating at weekends. Pub photographs abound throughout the pub, both upstairs and downstairs. There is a Monday night quiz and occasional weekend music nights are held upstairs.

The pub offers 20p off per pint of real ale, 10p off for a half. Ask about the Deptford Bank Loyalty Card

There is a Wild Fire Pizza menu available Tuesday - Sunday

The pub is home to The Wear Beer Micro Brewery.

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.
