| A lovely pub with its seprate areas. do not be put off if the front bar is busy, push through and there are several rooms to the back and you will often find a seat. The beer was a let down though, the range was uninspired and temperature it was served at was better suited to an Aussie lager than a British ale KentishScot - 13 May 2012 23:15 |

| This used to be one of my favourite Durham pubs - now the little snug has gone, the back rooms opened up and to crown it all, those wonderful windows seen on the photo above, have gone. The beer was average. It is now a superb example of how our heritage can be destroyed overnight and replaced with bland replication you can see anywhere. Disgraceful. JBGatelad - 19 Sep 2011 18:00 |
| Visited in late June, really liked the pub. It was quiet when we were there but had some amusing chat with the barman and another customer. There was a traffic jam outside - nothing moved more than a metre for 40 minutes - apparently this is a daily occurrence and it was quite fun to watch the manoeuvring as drivers tried to extricate themselves from the very narrow street (luckily we were on foot.) Gents' is on a slope. I'd never been there before so don't know what it used to be like but I thought it had character and would return, in spite of the rather uninteresting range of ales (in reasonable condition to be fair). newbury_drinker - 29 Aug 2011 15:04 |
| A good pub, enjoyable time to be had here. The beer is a bit cold and the interior could do with a lick of paint. But that's being picky. jjsint - 26 Jul 2011 12:16 |
