Located at the centre of this rural village, in the north-western outskirts of Stockton, and where a strong community spirit continues to prevail. The Smiths is a typical late-Victorian pub, recently refurbished, and which manages to satisfy both drinkers and diners alike.
With a new licensee since December 2017, there is now a renewed emphasis on real beer. One handpull is devoted to the house beer from Laines, whilst a guest is also served.
The pub remains one of the few in the area to have retained a separate public bar, whilst the restaurant, converted from the original blacksmith's workshop, offers good value quality food, including specials at lunchtime, which include a drink.
There are real fires throughout. It has large beer garden at rear.
Quiz nights and entertainment nights also feature.
This Pub serves 2 changing beers (House beer from Laine plus a guest - recently Theakstons Quencher) and 0 regular beers.
