The Freemasons Arms, Consett

Whilst you will not get a real ale beer here, you will get a really friendly atmosphere from staff and regulars.
We always call in here and are never disappointed.

The Grey Horse, Consett

Being one of only two pubs to keep real ale in Consett I have found over the last few years the choice of beers to be a little disappointing.
They stock their own beers, but few beers from others and never anything 5% or above. No chance of a good IPA or premium bitter!
Its a shame as the previous landlord Paul would have a wide and varied beer selection of various types and strengths - the good old days.

Company Row, Consett

This used to be a good real ale pub, but has been let down by the poor selection over the last 18 months. Very few local micro's are featured in lieu of Greene King regulars. You often find that over a weekend beers are not changed very quickly and you find most beers are off!. For some reason with this weatherspoons they don't/refuse to stock the bottled ciders that they advertise? Magners being the only cider stocked - no Bulmers or Westons?

It a shame but this pub is well below the Weatherspoon standards
