| As with most Durham pus this was a long uphill climb to get to, making us all the more gratefull for the fine well kept beer that was on offer. The pub has an interesting entrance with it narrow bar that opens out to one side making it larger that it first appears. We visited on an early lunch time, a student was writing up notes and firing questions to the pub in general and receiving some very erudite answers. A pub very much worth re-visiting KentishScot - 13 May 2012 23:11 |
| Swedish Blonde (an ale, alas) was very nicely kept and dispensed, and for my visit the regulars were in a sociable, chatty of mind. I had feared this was a mainly a diner's pub when I first entered but I was glad I persevered because I had a fine time which was mainly due to the conviviality of the clientele. The interior was comfortable if a little undistinguished, the service was both civil and efficient. I would seek it out again with confidence. ILooklikeme - 8 Jan 2012 17:31 |
| Called in September 2011 and had two excellent pints. The York Guzzler kept its head perfectly and the Idle Dog was superb.I can't understand the comment from July unless the poster dislikes beer. Maybe I'm the below average clientele he describes, but I know a good real ale.The prices are amazing value too! fellwalker2010 - 6 Sep 2011 16:39 |
| Just up the road from a B&B we stayed in in late June. Best beer we found in Durham, and the food was very good too - a cut above standard pub food, at very fair prices. There was some amusing banter going on between the Polish chef and the barmaid when we visited. Definitely worth a visit. newbury_drinker - 29 Aug 2011 13:00 |
| I have to disagree with previous posters. I had a few beers here which ranged from acceptable to unpalatable. Below average pub serving below average beer for below average clientele. jjsint - 26 Jul 2011 12:36 |
