The Bridge End Inn, Ovingham

It doesnt open all day, Sundays are more like the old traditional hours so be prepared for a change of plan when you get there. Lovely to sit outside in the summer and the inside is still a genuine pub. I had Wylam Gold Tankard which was spot on and a packet of out of date crisps (free) they were nice too. It's a lovely pub and more people should go. Comments about the bridge are true. It's built for Austin 7s. I mangled my alloys on my Jaaaaag. I now use Wylam Bridge instead. The road between Stocksfield and Bywell Bridge further up stream at Bywell is reopened (August 2013) so that's an option too.
