Went here for tea with my husband and two young sons, ordered the Sunday roast, myself and my husband both agreed it was best Sunday roast we had ever had out, it was beautiful, both got the slow roasted beef and Yorkshire puddings were great too. Plenty of choice for children's meals and all were good portion sizes. Well worth a visit. I would definitely come back here if i was visiting the area again.

I recently had my reception for my wedding here! And they went above and beyond with preparing the table and room, I was able to have Sunday roast menu on a Wednesday and enjoyed the food and atmosphere! All the staff were amazing! I would definitely recommend for private events

Excellent food-focussed pub with a small number of clean, quiet, freshly decorated and warm family and standard rooms upstairs. Plenty of free parking but also on a direct bus route to Durham and Newcastle, both a short drive/journey from the pub. Beamish, Jarrow, Barnard Castle and the Durham Coast also within an easy driving distance. Food was solid, freshly prepared pub favourites (grills, pizza, etc.), welcomes children but still feels like a nice rustic country pub. I felt the rate was very reasonable, particularly as it included hot breakfast (from 9am). Staff were welcoming and attentive, and both the area and pub felt safe.
