Brilliant atmosphere. Great karaoke night
The pub itself is a nice enough establishment and has a good selection of beers. My problem is that the hand pulled beer was awful and just not pulled correctly resulting in a very flat pint of Timothy Taylors . The beer itself was OK but was just not pulled right . When a friend we were with , who is more than qualified to pull a pint of cask ale , offered to show the bar man how he should pull a pint , the bar man became quite rude and stated he knew how to pull a pint. I can say that his manners left a lot to be desired and the beer was pulled wrong at all levels..my friend was only offering friendly advice but he was knocked back and it was rude. Shame as the pub was pleasant and atmosphere good.
We came here last week for bottomless brunch as a treat for my sister who was back from Australia. There were 4 of us and we booked the evening before, left it late but they were very accommodating. As soon as we arrived we felt welcomed and looked after. The pub is very nice. The atmosphere was great and a very nice place to sit and relax. We were greeted by Claire and taken to our seats. Our drink order was then taken and had the drinks down on our table within a few minutes. The drinks available were unlimited prosecco, unlimited selected cocktails or unlimited bottled lager. You can also mix which drink you get if you want to try a few different things. Our food followed quickly after our drinks. The food was served on 2 big wooden boards. There was a selection of cheeses, crackers, bread, dips, olives, grapes, meats, the list goes on. All the food was beautiful and tasted very fresh. They even brought out more crackers when we ran out to finish off the cheeses. Claire was brilliant and everytime our drinks were empty they had been filled within a matter of a couple of minutes. We feel very looked after and she was easy to talk to. The pub has a lovely beer garden aswell which is worth a visit especially in the summer. We can't recommend this place enough and me and my fiancé will be booking to go again. Thank you Claire and her team 10/10!
This was another first for me on my latest visit to Durham. Normally I drive past this pub to park at the multi storey down the road but I stayed over night and went in for drink. This is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks. The beer selection was very good, local ales as well as usual brands. The barman was very nice and helpful in his recommendations and it had good music playing. I will go back in next time I am in Durham.
Went for the beer festival. Even though I don't like beer! Some gorgeous ciders. And they had cocktails too! Beautiful beer garden. Lovely friendly, helpful staff.
