Great wee pub to sit in while you're waiting for your train. Well decorated, and a wide variety of drinks available at a decent price point. Staff is professional and swift. The only nit pick I could raise is that they don't have a departures board inside to tell you when your delayed train is expected. You could easily lose track of time in this keen pub!
Lovely little pub while you're waiting for a train. Most of the negative reviews seem to have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Two casks on when I visited (room for 3 normally), two local keg beers, a draught cider and a lager. All the casks and kegs locally brewed.
Nice little bar on the platform! As usual the train service was dire on a Friday night. Not being that familiar with Durham (having travelled down for a rehearsal in the Cathedral earlier on) I did hope a pub was close by to fill in twenty minutes. There was one!! I blasted a Pennine Ale down, then blasted one through even more so when my damn train rocked up (having got a dash on it would seem). Friendly staff, not busy post 21.00 but very respectable all round. Any cons?? Bring plenty of bullion.
I visit this pub at least once a week, the staff are lovely and very chatty, the beer is always spot on. If you like train spotting it’s perfect, I’ve seen many a steam special here over the years, when it opened a few years ago I became a regular, Well recommended to start a night out in Newcastle or Durham
All station pubs have got to be judged against the excellent Sheffield tap. Even though we came to Durham by car we had a steady walk up and found it to be very good. Although there's not too many on tap ours was a lovely pint. It's nice inside with good seating, but what makes it is the excellent outside area which is fully covered. The staff were very friendly.
