The Forth Hotel, Newcastle

i recently stayed in newcastle for a few days and had a few hours to kill while waiting for the train... my girlfriend and i found the forth. although it looked pretty rough on the outside it is such a lovely pub on the inside. we stayed for at least 3 hours and relaxed on the comfy sofas downstairs. i was drinking doom bar and it was very well kept. the pub looks really nice inside and has a roof terrace garden which would be perfect for a drink on a summers day although it was freezing when we were there. we didn't eat but the menu looked good, especially the sunday roast with a bloody mary. i liked the blackboard that stated that certain drinks (malibu, strongbow, fosters etc) were not just unavailable that day or that week, but never. really good pub, nice staff, ticked all the boxes. i wil difinately come back here next time i'm in newcastle. just wish i'd have found it a few days earlier!

The Plough and Harrow, Litlington

i rate this as the best country pub in the area. although the food is fantastic, it is also completely unpretentious, unlike most of its rivals. pat and paul have done a fantastic job here... they are so welcoming and are really pleasant people. the beer garden is perfect for relaxing on a summer's afternoon.
